Mapping the Outskirts

I have been quiet for a while, and there is a reason for that. I have been working on a book.

Before I could write a word of it I had to know where things were. So the first real day went entirely on the map: the kingdom up top behind its wall, and the Outskirts below it - the Crossroads, the Cemetery, Jane's Tavern, the Bog. Everything the campaign touches has to be somewhere you can point at.

The signpost at the Crossroads was the piece I redrew most. It is the first thing a player sees and it has to promise three different kinds of trouble in three words. Cemetery. Jane's Tavern. The Bog.

Blackwater and the coven got their first passes the same day. Neither is finished. Both told me what the light in this place looks like, which was the actual point.
