Hi everyone :D
In this week's live mapping session Ralf will be starting a new project: combining dungeon and city assets to build a hilltop fort.
Join us live on YouTube here to be part of the chat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc89lO0ODAc
You can watch it there later if you miss the stream, or maybe right here on the forum if you don't like YouTube:

Just got home a few minutes ago, so I'll have to download the video.
It's tomorrow, Jim. Thursday, not Wednesday.
I just knew I was tired. So, I might not be here tomorrow either, but I'll try.
30 minute shout... I think
Unfortunately, since there is a massive storm raging over Ralf's home city at the moment he isn't online to give the ok for it to go ahead.
I will let you know if it's cancelled.
We think this is going ahead on time.
As promised here's the interim version of the map - work in progress.
Thanks Ralf :)
Must admit, I was getting slight déjà vu feelings watching Ralf's livestream yesterday, as parts of it reminded me of my Wyvern Citadel maps for the Community Atlas. Very different scale of course, but there are inevitable similarities for drawing anything set on a craggy hilltop in this kind of more realistic style.
I made much more use of symbols however, rather than drawn polygons, for the cliffsides, though I did experiment that way originally (see this post in my Forum notes on the Citadel map, while still in progress). Just couldn't get the bevelled polygons to look right though, so switched to a technique developed for battlemat cliffs by another of our resident mapping experts, Shessar, as described via the Forum post here. As ever with CC3 mapping, there are always different methods to try!
Looking forward to Part 2 of this video, to see how it all develops. Anyone would think Ralf was running a game set in Middle Earth...😉
A game set in Middle Earth? Why on Earth would you think that? :P
