Fantasy Cartographer

[luuma-makes-games]

I've been busy the past couple of weeks on a bunch of stuff :) I just wanted to shout out the @uktabletopindustrynetwork Jog Jam - which is a game jam where you're given a map and build a game around it. Check it out in their discord. For this jam, I'm hard at work on a sort of dorfromantik-style map colouring game called Busytown. I can't wait to share it, it's very comfy indeed. Also had a sudden blitz on my pet project Accursed Teens (and their obnoxious magic!) A couple of new mechanics have been big hits. It's still short, sweet, puckish, feisty, and runs as easy as pie. Its first campaign was a blast, its second campaign has been a blast and is nearing its last few sessions, and from here I hope it just goes on and up. I think I'll try to make it a kickstarter print run, with some very nice art. I hope we can look forward to that next year. For now if you're looking for fun RPGs, check out - Lady Blackbird (lady steampunk from the guy who did blades) - Vaults of Vaarn (chefs kiss space western setting) - Rose Lotus (it's got new art)

Thieves' Guild Hideout

"It made no sense to me that a thieves' guild would hire a cartographer to map their hideout and include some deliberate errors. Even if it was to end up in the hands of their rivals for a carefully planned ambush, I could not justify it. These particular thieves were not particularly hospitable to me, even insisting I spend some time in their arena. So as a professional, I will give them their altered version, but I will also send an error-free copy to the local authorities."

Dinas Mirinon

"I didn't realise just how large Dinas Mirinon was... I still don't know. All I know is it was full of rich history. More over, it was full of lively pubs and taverns. I would need to stay here a while..."

Forest Hideout

"After a series of trials through the forest, we entered a clearing partially covered by a dome of ancient trees. A preserved corpse lay upon a pile of treasure. As we approached it, the Baron stepped out from his newly assembled cabin. I forgot why we had come here again 😂"

Dublin

"I took the helm and directed the Myramus into port. It felt like ... home. I met Adrian here all those years ago, in the Black Sheep pub. We had a game of dice, and I lost badly. We journeyed to many world together, and now we were back home. But something was different, a lot of things were different..."

The Vines have Eyes

"The mausoleum had stood on the hill abandoned for centuries... so no one suspected the vines growing around it were from something deep underneath. Unnoticed, one of the vine flowers opened to reveal an eye! Then another... how long had they been watching our village? Things started going missing, animals at first... when the keeper of the clock tower disappeared, it was too late..."

The Night Circus

"When I saw the commission on my desk from 'JB', I thought I had somehow broken time again. But instead of commissioning a map from myself, it turned out to be the mysterious Jayme B... and they wanted me to visit the Night Circus. I had never been, in fact I had never heard of it. Esteemed chronicler Erin Morgenstern had written extensively about it and now I had to see for myself..."

Broken Lands

"Anyone who has travelled with me knows of my fear of heights. I prefer the safety of terra firma. This land is all wrong. I cannot be sure that I will wake up and not be a thousand feet up in the air..."

Bardic Ward

"We arrived into the Bardic Ward of Zhōngxīn Chéngshì late that evening and sat down in the Tree and Tipple to rest our bones. Andrew told us that this was only the surface of the great dwarven city, which stretched far below ground. Ales were ordered and with high spirits we swore oaths to explore every inch of the city and further still into the Underdark..."

Desolation of the Gods

"When I first looked down at the Desolation of the Gods, I wondered to myself - what god would do this! Then Daniel, as if reading my thoughts, reminded me that this was why the gods must be hunted down and destroyed, every last one of them. Well I wished him luck in his endevours, I was off to the pub..."

Court of Seasons

"It was many months since I had visited the Court of Seasons... last Spring actually. Last night, I had a late visit from Daniel. He hurried into my parlour with an armful of notes and threw them onto the table. Apparently it had gone through a complete transformation. We would leave for the place in the morning, through that same strange archway as last time..."

Egg of the Unknown

"I rarely embark on an expedition based on someone's lucid dreams, but Aaron had been quite insistent and persuasive. He financed the entire journey himself. At first, I was uncertain we would ever find his unknown eldritch eggs, but when finally doubt gave way to belief, it was too late for us to escape - at least with our sanity intact..."

Great Library of The Multiverse

"Finally Geoff and I arrived at the library at the edge of the multiverse, and I knew exactly what I was looking for. They had every book ever written, jottings and scrolls from every sage that ever lived, and maps of all known and unknown space from distant past to unimaginable futures. Maybe they had a little too much choice because I didn't find what I was looking for..."

Citadel of Solarah

"From Greenfaye, Sebastian lead us east, for he knew of a great Citadel tucked away in the mountains. Surrounded by steep slopes, the city was perfectly situated. The tall towers of the royal square inviting us. Who knew how much time would be wasted here, and I with a thousand worlds to explore..."

Aexatia world map

"We had procured a boat, that was the easy part. Leaving the Stetris Sanctuary was another matter entirely. To get to the other sanctuaries we needed to brave the wild elemental forces, gargantuan beasts and a persistent hurricane half the size of the world. As he took us out of port, I prayed Daniel knew what he was doing..."

Fantasy Map of London

"We approached Londinium from the southeast, our airship following the Old Roman Road. My parent's had an old tower on the outskirts near large gas silo. It was falling apart, but still, it was home. I gave it another year until it came down. The city had changed a lot since I had been there last. The densely packed streets were a fire hazard in my opinion, particularly with the construction of a massive wizard's tower in the centre..."
