Still working on my Traveller site. Nothing uploaded yet, but I have about 100 planet maps on 4 sectors. Just have to do the uwp for each, post articles, and do a few solar system maps.

  • my Tunnels and Trolls world so far

    I used yellow lines to break this map into quarters. Easier that way. I'll provide some commentary as some of the features may not be obvious.

    edit: I almost forgot. Inside the dragon it is very hot. Characters go to passageways away from the dragon, they will easily notice the cooler temperatures.

    upper left, part A.

    room A. entrance from the surface.

    area B. two open pits and a cart with no sides.

    area C. odd-shaped, just something that looks like a moldy floor, so far.

    stairs between C and D. they go up about 10 feet. An evil sounding music plays as any characters walk up the steps. The top most step gives out a groan when stepped on.

    room, D, E, and G. nothing there yet. More moldy floors ?

    room F. three chairs, 2 tables; one with food, torch lit room. I wouldn't touch the food.

    room R. Skeletons next to a rocky path. The water is about 6 inches deep. There is an empty cage in the north part of the room.

    room S. 7 skeletons perched on the rocks lower left. A pig watches the open passageway into the room.

    passageway U. lined with bones, they might come alive and attack any where enter. I'll be placing a pile of coins at the south end.

    room V. yes, that is a store room, lined with bones on the north side.

    corridor going from V to W. Looks like freshly laid tile floor. Or is it ?

    room W. green glowing walls, and a muddy floor.

    area X. I may or may not trim the green corridor bit sticking into room R.

    to the west of room F. Looks like a last ditch stand. Three dead skeletons behind the wood debris. Nearby is some wood debris and a pile of rocks.

    upper right.

    area H. a very large pile of rocks. Do you moans coming from under them ?

    area J. same, but quiet laughter.

    area Q. rocks. No noise heard in this area. A silence spell ?

    room P. the room at the lower edge of this map. Opening into the room.

    room EE. three traps doors under the water. The water is about a food deep.

    room FF. a bridge leads out to the rocks.

    passageway GG. more freshly laid tile, the walls are softly glowing green.

    lower left.

    room K. Floor painted green.

    room Z. mud brick floor.

    corridor from room Z to room CC. Floor looks bone white. Like bones left out in a desert for years.

    room AA. a stone and mud brick floor.

    room BB. odd-shaped. floor glows blue, if the character can see in the infrared. Otherwise it has a soft white glow.

    room CC. a green painted floor. Some of it fresh paint.

    corridor DD. bone lined. No treasure, but an occasional skull will emit laughter or smile at passersby.

    update on lower right. I made a 100' x 80' marine dungeon, exported the graphic, and imported into this map.

    I added a gray 80 bmp, and edge fade inner to give the impression it is sunken into the ground.

    If there is a better way, please post !

    JJ marine dungeon. 2 bull sharks, several schools of small fish... could they be piranha ? a treasure chest out on a rock. Maybe the boats don't leak, and maybe they do.

    KK is a connecting room

    LL is a path of stones.

    I'm going to try. I talked to my sister about it. I'll buy a small sketch book and see what I can do.

    Yup. I took 3 drawing classes at university, but I think I only learned from one of them.

    The one thing, this was last century, was to loosen up with pencil exercises, then draw. I'll see if I remember those.

    What I intend is to make some quick sketches of various places along the passageways. i have the overhead from these maps up thread. Then I'll have to rotate them in my mind, I can somewhat visualize in 3D, and then sketch what is in the new visual direction.

    Eeeek ! Sorry.

    I decided to twiddle using the Annual Noteboard /Whiteboard to make this. I didn't try to make it well.

    I used the gray bmp bitmap fills to make the above. I'll still do sketches, I just wanted to try this out.

    I have a small box of conte crayons and some drawing pads on the way. I'll see what I can do.

    I hope this isn't too big, it is jpg. Photo of a sketch pad sketch. Pencils; h, he, and charcoal. The two eyes are a red conte crayon.

    I found a drawing set i had bought years ago. The paper is white, and I used flash. I'm not sure why it turned out gray.

    Here I go. jpg and fcw. I'm not happy with this. About 3000 x 2200 miles.


    I used Annual Myrklund, with reef and other symbols from elsewhere.
