Just need a lot more symbols, but the creative blahs are in effect.

This is a really cute idea. Are the sticky notes themselves to be the rooms, or is the idea that you click on the note to remove it and reveal a room drawn below?
The sticky notes are rooms.
But one corner isn't curling-up where the glue hasn't stuck properly, unlike the real things 😉!
So I'm thinking of making look like what someone would do if they where having a really slow day in the office.
I'll see about corner curls. I really like that idea.
I laughed when I saw this. Honestly, I've done this with real sticky notes on gaming nights that I wasn't prepared with a map. LOL. Love it!
Getting there slowly.
Did you know someone's split virtual water on your page 😉?!
I started to like this more then I thought I would. So I decided start over and really give it a go.
I got the files set up properly, actually created a style template, have sizes correct.
I redid the floors.
Well this is what I have so far...
Well I kind of done.
I made an alternative background. If I want paper, unhide it, and hide the grid.
I'll probably make more symbols.
Could make an annual style out of this.
Thank you.
I feel like I need to make some more symbols that are commonly used in dungeons.
Secret and concealed doors, and other things I'm forgetting.
Might be worth thinking of some variants for many of the "commoner" symbols too - if it really was hand-drawn, none would be the same, after all, so the option for a few variants would be useful.
I made a few more symbols.
The items on the tables are symbols as well.
The whole concept does look amazing!
I'm not sure about the shadows on the symbols, however. It's rather breaking the illusion for me, as they wouldn't be there on the real thing. Or rather they might be, but in a different way - where the drawn lines are all slightly indented into the paper surface.
Can the paper colour for the sticky notes be changed easily? I know there are some sticky note pads in colours other than yellow now, so that might be interesting to explore as well - maybe the boss chamber would be more helpful on a pink/red sheet, for instance, as a GM's reminder (again if this were the real thing).
I have yellow for now, but it would not be hard to make different colors. That would mean I would have to make the symbols color change as well. They are yellow. I have not tried to make symbols that change colors.
As for the shadows, I had them off, but I like them on when looking at the whole map. I was hoping they would look like pencil under draw.
There are more symbols I'm working on, like Scotch tape, and I'm attempting to create a font to match.
Thanks for the responses and ideas. I like this one myself enough not to jump into another idea, "Corkboard City."
Varicolour symbols aren't too difficult to make. If you have the Tome its on p113. If you need any help just shout.
Font is done, and I learned how to make Varicolour symbols. They are next.
