Within the Spinward Marches, the Sword Worlds subsector includes the worlds of Orcrist, Narsil, Anduril, Sting, and other reminders that canonically the galaxy was colonized by nerds (From Traveller Supplement 3: The Spinward Marches, GDW, 1979.) Previously

A very general grid map of my Border Prince region. All randomly rolled up using Renegade Crowns from WHFRPG 2nd ed. Currently this region is, like most areas of the Border Princes, untamed and wild, while 4 petty rulers squabble over the areas.

The current "Princes" in this realm are: "Earl" Rufgar McCleod, an Ex-Mercenary Dwarf Emilio Rinaldo "The Boss", a former Tilean bandit "Prince" Guy Allard, a aging Bretonnian Knight "Gildemeister" Jaffar Wazak, a merchant prince of Araby

Along with plenty of Lairs and Ruins to be uncovered alongside the court and military intrigue between 4 bickering "rulers".

After some fine-tuning, I’ve finally landed on a color scheme for my Kaiju-themed game, #kaijuHexicutioner. While I have access to #HexKit and an array of tiles and tools, my iPad is my go-to these days, so installation is off the table. Instead, I embraced the budget-friendly route with my free Canva account. To piece it all together, the “Hex Kit Tile Snapping Template” from ATellingEllipsis on itch.io has been an absolute game-changer for laying down tiles in that perfect hex style.

itch.io is a simple way to find, download and distribute indie games online. Whether you're a developer looking to upload your game or just

I’ll probably keep all the art/layout/design in this scheme. What do you guys think?

Just to clarify, I’m currently working on two Kiaju related projects inspired by son, Monster Brains blog, Shojio Otomo, Lancer, Yokai Hunter, and a million other things.

1 - Kaiju Hexicutioner - for Roll Up Jam on itch.io. A simple flavor rich hex crawl with a bunch of dailed in d66 tables for worldbuilding

2. - Unnamed Kaiju and Yokai Game – This hybrid journaling and tactical combat game draws inspiration from the battle boards seen in RUNE and *Magnagothica: Maleghast.* It features a unique mechanic of yokai collecting through physical cards, where players can collect, kill, buy, sell, trade, or even set yokai free. With a nod to *Shin Megami Tensei*, player characters can also acquire yokai (and potentially Kami) powers.

The story follows a young boy or girl who forms an unexpected bond with a kaiju in a post-apocalyptic world inspired by medieval Japan. Set on a small island once decimated by ancient Kaiju wars, the landscape bears the scars of battles between colossal kaiju and mecha. Over time, the survivors rebuilt, forming small settlements and a single large city, each with its own unique culture, customs, and religion. After years of peace and restoration, the island’s fragile tranquility is shattered when a notorious and powerful kaiju reappears, laying waste to the capital city and plunging the island into collective mourning over the shared tragedy.

Embark on a journey across the land, where you'll explore diverse landscapes and capture monsters and yokai, with opportunities to harness their power for yourself. Salvage materials to craft and trade, and interact with various factions and influential figures, gaining insights into their communities. Most villages and settlements exude a peaceful, cozy atmosphere reminiscent of *Animal Crossing*, *Stardew Valley*, and *Zelda*. However, be prepared to encounter numerous evil, cursed, tainted, and haunted locations along the way.

I’ll probably tie them together with similar themes and design.

Full resolution hex crawl map of Baldur’s Gate and the sorrounding lands south of it, based on the in game map from Baldur’s Gate 1, including the areas from Tales of the Sword Coast and the Enhanced Edition. Took me about a week, easily the most detailed thing I’ve ever drawn. Full res version: [Click]

The Bay of Birini

I have recently started work on a bronze age lost world style setting called the Bay of Birini. It's a hex crawl over a 50 x 50 mile area. It uses a bunch of shit from other people because it's a home game thing so I am not gonna post the hexes because a chunk of them are written by other people. Instead here is the plain map and the hex fill procedures that used for the making of it!
