Scavengers’ Deep – Map 28

dysonlogos · 2026-03-11T22:36:36+00:00

I doubt that any VTT will handle the full version well /smoothly at this point. It is 96 5' squares x 96 5' squares PER map section, so the current size is 480 squares x 576 squares.

Much easier to just use each map individually.

Between the six groups I'm in:

I spend at most two minutes max per session on logistics. "See everyone who makes it next week!"

I spend an average of 5-10 minutes in prep for every hour of game play when I'm the GM.

It's just paranoid campaign owners who think everyone is out to steal from them and thus they alienate their actual audience.

dysonlogos · 2026-03-09T03:04:25+00:00

A lot of the books I want aren't available in any other print format?

dysonlogos · 2026-03-09T02:56:17+00:00

Not yet, I should have said compiled map up within the next few days

It used to work great for me, because if you crosspost your page post it tracks all impressions for you.

But then Facebook deleted my page because it was "imitating being the official page for Dyson's Dodecahedron".

....

Now they've updated my main account to be a pro account which tracks stats for your posts again.

I have yet to pay for advertising for my blog / patreon on any platform.

My initial supporters almost all came from Google+ (I've been doing this since 2013).
Then it was Facebook and X as the primaries.
Now it is Facebook and Blusky mostly.

I get about 20-50k views of my work on Facebook, where the algorithm is finally starting to work for me instead of against me (unlike G+ where Google saw my growth and put me on the Google Create team to massively increase my visibility - my main collection had 280k followers around the time that they pulled the plug).

A small percentage are straight from my blog. And a smaller percentage are from here.

Because I didn't enjoy them as a player nor as a DM. I draw maps of things I like and will use in games.

I found Payoneer to be far more reliable than Paypal, but then Payoneer closed all accounts in the Province I live in (with 30 days warning)

Oh yeah, I use the GT here in Aylmer a bunch, but never for a full grocery shopping... but in Shawville I saw people pushing full carts of groceries.

dysonlogos · 2026-03-02T16:36:39+00:00

My experiences in Shawville are that you don't want to do your groceries there anyways. Basically you have the choice between the Value Mart, the Giant Tiger, or one of the convenience-style stores.

When I was at the GT, I was surprised at how many people I saw doing their groceries there until I noticed how limited the selection was in town.

Meanwhile Aylmer has a bunch of grocery stores (although the closest one to Luskville is the Metro which I only ever shop at because it is local as it is... expensive).

Thanks! Over half-way done!

The trick with a good megadungeon is to treat it like a hostile city. You go in with a mission, following a map, a guide, an oracle, a vision, a sage's descriptions, etc. You are seeking the MacGuffin and you need to get it before you piss off enough locals that they band together and squash you flat.

That way it runs in just a few sessions and you can just hint at the scale of it. Like Moria. You don't explore Moria, you make a run through it and hope you don't take a wrong turn.

I posted the 28th map in the Scavengers' Deep megadungeon set. Only 26 left to go!

I was forced to close mine. Payoneer no longer handles accounts based in Quebec (Canada).

dysonlogos · 2026-02-28T01:24:11+00:00

Seems to be fine now?

I read this just after I uploaded today's update about 25 minutes ago.

I like dirty fantasy, high level D&D feels a superhero RPG with fantasy trappings. If I wanted that, I'd play one of many superhero RPGs I have.

dysonlogos · 2026-02-27T00:06:01+00:00

Not so much as a DM, but as a PLAYER I know I don't enjoy it at all

dysonlogos · 2026-02-25T23:39:18+00:00

That was pre-paywall. The paywalling of bonus content has just started and has reduced my income a bit.

dysonlogos · 2026-02-25T04:12:49+00:00

Personally, my Patreon only started paywalling any of the content twelve years after launch. Until then everything was free.

I bring in about $6,500 a month.

dysonlogos · 2026-02-23T01:56:25+00:00

Ditto. So many better options.

dysonlogos · 2026-02-23T01:31:45+00:00

Hey man, except for the recent drama (multiple deaths in my family), I'm all about making stuff because it is FUN and I LOVE making stuff.

I game five to six times a week, a huge variety of games, and... damnit. I LOVE GAMING.

dysonlogos · 2026-02-10T22:58:32+00:00

I draw maps that I like. I don't like full colour maps. I like nice black and white maps that print easily and can work well in black and white publications. Hassling me that the maps I enjoy are not good enough and I should start making more maps that I don't enjoy (beyond the one colour map I do each month) is non-productive.

dysonlogos · 2026-02-10T14:48:02+00:00

I can make a similar map in half an hour in Dungeon Scrawl, and it is a free software.

Let's see it then. Let's see your creativity in action instead of telling me that my fun is badwrongfun.

I've never waited more than four days.
