Dungeons & Ruis & Caves
This is the third magnetic sheet I use like this. I like it.
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?
Gotta make a ton of tiny cave pieces
Let me know when it looks like I have an addiction. 😅
Magnetic cave tiles
Second verse, same as the first,,,
... but this time it's mostly caves.
Magnetic dungeon tiles
So... I bought a few magnetic sheets with glue. placed a bunch of dungeon tiles and then cut them to size.
A statue, a trap, and some stairs
The squigly line to the left of the pit is a curtain of magical darkness (I probably got this idea out of one of the 2e Undermountain boxes).
The curtain itself is one of my favourite things to include in a random corridor in a megadungeon (and change whatever is behind it). Often, the curtain also blocks sound in my games. I usually manage to restrain myself and not overuse it though.
Jigsaw #3
It's coming together.. I already have a few small pieces, and I'm adding many even smaller rooms.
I think it’s just because Lemmy (and the fediverse) doesn’t yet have a critical mass.
Before creating [email protected] I was thinking about creating a community for Traveller alone. But I decided to poll several other places beforehand. Not a lot of people showed interest. That’s why I decided to create a more general community.
I share your need for activity. I really do. I just don’t have much to offer. At least at the moment. I’ve been dabbling with mapmaking lately, but I’m not prolific enough. I have plans, oh yes, quite a few ideas brewing and bubbling, but nothing to show. Yet.
It’s very common, expected really, to have many more consumers than producers in any social network. But I’m still here. And I’d bet a few more are also around. Lurking? (I love that word when used so casually)
We’re listening.
Just a crack in the stone... it's just meant to break the white space. But of course, you can insert a subplot.
TripTech Game Jam
Last month, Graham Richardson (Lionhearth Games) organized the TripTech Game Jam, where contestants would create Tripanels (you know, the form factor of those pamphlets that fold in three) for Mothership.
Anyway, all 39 submissions are listed at the bottom of the page:

I found out about this jam thanks to this video by Dave Thaumavore in which he talks about the experience of being part of the jam and then shows off a few of the tripanels.
More jigsaw pieces
Also... the very tiny maps are easier to "connect" than the somewhat tiny.
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. 😅
<Insert room description>
But seriously... if you feel like posting a description, hook, plot, or even short fiction for any of these maps, please do.
(should I add that as a "rule" for the community?)
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.
Edit (May 2nd) - Traveller5 bundle includes: Traveller5 Core Rules 3-Book Set, T5 Starships & Spacecraft deck plans, and T5 Gazelle-Class Close Escorts

Thanks for encouragement! ;)
It's actually somewhat therapeutic.
a little sus that it’s published by the same company that owns Traveller
How so?
Or maybe I need to finish my first cup of coffee? XD
Well it's fixed now.. so I didn't even get to clear cache and retry. But I did try opening on another browser (before writing my comment above) with similar results.
I want to be able to report a bug to the developers, but I have no idea what to tell them that might be useful. I guess I can dive into their issues tracker and take it from there.
Uhm... something's off again on my side.
Are there specific symptoms I should be looking into?
There's also [email protected] which should have some overlap with cyberpunk.
Not sure that's the case, as I was browsing on this instance.
But... I did notice this issue just after I was trying to upload an image with "too many pixels"... maybe I was being throttled because of that?
Whatever it was, it seems to be solved now.
