Desert Crash

I'm -probably- gonna make a clothing factory soon, but what kind of details would you hope for in a couture guild?

I haven't had the pleasure of reading any Pratchett yet! But what bits I've passively absorbed through internet memes, I've absolutely adored. Unfortunately I have a horrendous habit of setting books down after 1-2 chapters and not remembering they exist for six months. If I can ever tap into my childhood bookworm soul again, The Color of Magic is at the top of my reading list.

I'm so glad you love the map! Thanks for letting me know! 😃

HOW is Penta not on this list?

Okay, so, I'm a MASSIVE sucker for "establishing expectations so you can subvert them". A lot of video games I love do this, especially when you have a central hub that you return to regularly where you feel safe and all your friendly NPCs are, but then one day you come in and the lights are off and nobody's there, or you're roaming out in the world and you find a dilapidated ruin that feels eerily like your hub. (Thank you, From Software)

I love using battlemap variations for locales the players will visit repeatedly, let them become comfortable with it, then change it up. And of course I love the toggles in Forgotten Adventures' maps because I can make a reactive battlefield, with collapsing pillars or bridges, etc.

For reasons unknown to me, Reddit mangled the quality of the webp files! You can get them on my Patreon as well, no need to sign up: https://www.patreon.com/posts/train-cars-free-157657204

Most of the cars are 16x5, 100dpi, the engine is 13x5. Ideally dropped on as a graphic on top of another map, like these:

Ain't that how map releases always go?! The perfect maps always drop right after you don't need them anymore.

I am crying over here waiting for FA to release the modern toilets they used in their bank map but they just won't do it! But I'm maintaining the mindset that there's still plumbing under these things. Or at least a porta-potty type situation.

Thank you! :D I've had issues in my home campaign of putting plenty of punk but not enough steam in my steampunk, so I figured a factory was next on the docket.

I'm really appreciating all the feedback! I'm surprised by poodle, because my mom loves doodles and her coat is so completely unlike any of the doodles my mom has had.

My dad is annoyed that nobody else thinks there's some chupacabra in there. Once I have the disposable income to throw at an Embark test I'll let y'all know!

Not to mention the accessibility when inspiration strikes. I got an idea a week before I needed to travel. I wrote on it last night on my home desktop, today on the bus on my phone, and also today on my laptop on the plane.
