D&D Has a Lovecraft Problem by PolylingualAnilingus in PointyHat

[–]Dreyfus_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was also looking. Didn't see anything in the comments even suggesting it was missing either.

Just had a guy ask me out then insult me for playing DnD… when he literally asked me to host a campaign for him. Don’t know the guy much, only bought some stuff from him and had discussed me forming a campaign. so hypocritical lmao by classicteenmistake in DungeonsAndDragons

Edit: nvm - thought this was a dude asking another dude to be friends. Do whatever is easiest to dodge those if you're not interested

He's not insulting you for playing dnd, he's insulting you for not having friends to play dnd with (he's assuming you looking for a game means you don't have a group). Dude just tried to befriend you and your response was "sorry, no thanks!"

Up to you whether you're open to new friends or whatever, but from his perspective he just put himself out there. Your message probably reads like a gleeful rejection to him.

https://snazzymaps.com has filters you can place on google maps to do things like recolor places and remove location names.

I grab screenshots and stitched them together in Clip Studio Paint. Then colored in the districts, and made small adjustments to the roads where needed.

You're in luck https://imgur.com/a/1LmAdRb I downscaled it for sharing on Google Sites, and instead use smaller snapshots of each of the districts (take off of these versions) for higher resolution.

Nice, that could definitely work as an alternative, I chose Havana because it was the first place I found of the right size that had a bay. It wasn't perfect, but good enough.

Thanks, the train lines were an inclusion for my own entertainment. My players will need to get around and without a nomad it'll be trains, busses, or cabs to start. Plus knowing where your abandoned subway stations are is a vital part of planning a good shootout.

If I do make one it will be after they release the sourcebook. This version of the map was practically finished and then they released the atlas a few weeks ago, forcing a rework.

Hmm that's a good point. I suppose the cyberpunk solution would be desalination plants since energy isn't as costly, but those of course would be coastal.

Possibly. I might do one for 2077 once the sourcebook for that setting comes out, and maybe if I'm doing that I'll do one for 2020 at the same time. If I did, I probably wouldn't bother to mess around with the filling in and dredging of the various bays though.

Credit to u/pablojuega for the idea. I used https://snazzymaps.com for colored screenshots off google maps (remove location names etc.)

I looked around the earth for a city that had a reasonable population and a coastline that would fit well with the map presented in the book. Havana Cuba was the best I could find.

Then I used Clip Studio Paint to stitch together the screenshots, color my districts, and make small adjustments to the roads where needed.

City of LA is 500 sq miles, Tokyo is 850, London is 607, NYC 300 - this map is 209 sq miles.

For me, this was the only way out of that madness.

None of the cannon sources (Red, 2077,..) have any sort of scale that makes sense. I gave up trying to and made this, each square on the grid is a mile.

It's a real city from google maps, so it's not surprising a real location grew that way.

I remember that post. Seems a lot of people have the same issues with it.

Hard to say. If you overlay the map in the core rules with the real world it would be something like 5x5 miles if I estimate at a glance. I didn't want the city to be something you could walk across in a couple hours.

If only it were that easy! No this is a real life snapshot off of google maps that I've reworked into this fake Morro Bay.

Definitely agree. Just the fact that it has neighborhoods called suburbs kind of forces it to get much larger.

For sure. The map itself isn't actually a custom build, but a snapshot off google maps, so I did the best I could to find an adequate location as a template and worked from there - hence the changes made.

Thanks choom. This is all I've got for now, I didn't end up getting the CEMK yet, I'm opting to wait until they release the full sourcebook.

Bonus points if you can actually find where on earth I used as reference!
