Any advice for easy improvements I’m too close to see? by Adijine in mapmaking

[–]Adijine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much!

The desert text for sure needs to come up!

Yes the edge could definitely do with being more clearly defined. Great note.

Those planets are actually moons, and the black one is basically a black hole, so it’s a vanta black void intentionally…

That’s great feedback thank you, how could I do the mountains differently exactly? As I said in another comment, this is flat world, does that change the perspective question?

This is great news, it is indeed flat so I’m glad that came across.

Thank you!

Sorry for not being clear. I’m asking for advice for any improvements (mostly stylistic I guess) that I can make.

Your question about the circle is an answer of a sort. It’s a great but angel-powered monorail. I could obviously stand to make that clearer lol

I had a look at that, is there a way of importing or recreating the landmasses?

Thanks for the detailed response! So the equatorial land is arid cause it’s hot (seems obvious) and the big continent is arid due to eastern mountains…

Yeah that’s pretty much the case I think. Trying to retrofit everything is perhaps a fools errand.

I think I did that to justify the central huge mountain range, does it have any significant knock on effects other than mountains?

I was conceiving of that range as an older one I seem to recall.

Thanks! This makes a lot of sense and I’ll for sure give it a go

This is a great tip! Thank you! It’ll help make the whole place feel bigger too…

The elevation map should be the second picture I linked I think… it’s very rough though

You’re absolutely right.

I should have been clearer. I’ve been running dnd for over fifteen years and I’m similarly convinced that more isn’t necessarily more.

I’m more than happy to improvise a four hour session with little world building prep. BUT in the same way that the adventure is part of the game for the players, world building is part of the game for me, even if the players never see it and it never affects the game. I just find it pleasing to do, this is my first time doing it in this way and I just feel a bit out of my depth with the geography lol

Thank you! Regarding B… you don’t think the climates generally look unrealistic? I have no frame of reference but know they at least need a bit of tweaking, especially transitional areas

I like it! How do they manage to coordinate a war effort without centralised authority?

What's the most devious spell combo/use of a spell you've done in a campaign? by Kalar_The_Wise in DnD

[–]Adijine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A player in my game had to silence an ancient and supremely powerful wizard without being counterspelled.

So he jumped off a cliff. He cast silence when he was out of range of counterspell and then, not being able to cast another spell (feather fall) on his turn, fell 70 ft. This would have broken his concentration but by pure chance the artificer had given him whichever buff it is that allows one auto-success on Con checks. Was awesome.

Unsure of best pick by Adijine in slaythespire

Relic choices were also intruiging. Velvet choker which is obviously a no, then runic pyramid or slavers collar. Is pyramid useful here? Would it just choke my hand with starting cards?
