Very cool.

I was tempted to suggest more room variety, but there’s also so much elegance in simplicity.

Well, you have to start somewhere. ;)

Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks!

I don’t have them at hand right now, but they must be barely over an inch on the short side.

Ah, well… if you do end up making a bunch of small maps, perhaps you could share them with us?

Just a crack in the stone… it’s just meant to break the white space. But of course, you can insert a subplot.

😅

Thanks!

Tiny maps are very forgiving. And they’ve helped me improve my skills over time.

Nah. I’m not that good.

Maybe I’m not even plain good, but that’s too lengthy a discussion for here. 😅

Perhaps not with those exact names, but there’s a fix:

Do you happen to remember the name of the game?

Nothing in particular in mind. And certainly nothing new. Just wanted to make something out of the 100+ micro maps I’ve done.

Ah, looks like this is the 100th post in this community.

Didn’t think to post anything special, heh.

Thanks for encouragement! ;)

It’s actually somewhat therapeutic.

Huh. I didn’t cross-hatch the inner pillars.

There’s also [email protected] which should have some overlap with cyberpunk.

I settled on Campaign Cartographer 3+.

It has a steep learning curve, but seems to be the most powerful tool by far.

I’d go for ███ ████ or ██-█.

Ah. Names. The curse of the GMs. 😅

The easiest Traveller version is definitely the one from Mongoose.

Also, you should check out Seth Skorkowsky’s overview videos:

From your last sentence, perhaps a few of Seth Skorkowsky’s videos fit the bill:

But then I have to ask: What do you think is a better player? How does your table work? What kind of games does your group prefer? What do you all appreciate the most from the game?

Some groups are delighted when everyone has a great backstory, while others yawn at it. Some groups enjoy voice acting while some of us don’t bother as long as you stay in character when needed. Some like full immersion and others mostly like to hang around with friends. Some like the sandbox while others wish for a carefully thought out plot. Some like hack n’ slash and others prefer political intrigue and social interactions.

How do you describe a fun, a great session?
