I think it’s just because Lemmy (and the fediverse) doesn’t yet have a critical mass.

Before creating !scifi@ttrpg.network I was thinking about creating a community for Traveller alone. But I decided to poll several other places beforehand. Not a lot of people showed interest. That’s why I decided to create a more general community.

I share your need for activity. I really do. I just don’t have much to offer. At least at the moment. I’ve been dabbling with mapmaking lately, but I’m not prolific enough. I have plans, oh yes, quite a few ideas brewing and bubbling, but nothing to show. Yet.

It’s very common, expected really, to have many more consumers than producers in any social network. But I’m still here. And I’d bet a few more are also around. Lurking? (I love that word when used so casually)

We’re listening.

Just a crack in the stone... it's just meant to break the white space. But of course, you can insert a subplot.

 

Last month, Graham Richardson (Lionhearth Games) organized the TripTech Game Jam, where contestants would create Tripanels (you know, the form factor of those pamphlets that fold in three) for Mothership.

Anyway, all 39 submissions are listed at the bottom of the page:

I found out about this jam thanks to this video by Dave Thaumavore in which he talks about the experience of being part of the jam and then shows off a few of the tripanels.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Also... the very tiny maps are easier to "connect" than the somewhat tiny.

Thanks!

Tiny maps are very forgiving. And they’ve helped me improve my skills over time.

Nah. I’m not that good.

Maybe I’m not even plain good, but that’s too lengthy a discussion for here. 😅

 

But seriously... if you feel like posting a description, hook, plot, or even short fiction for any of these maps, please do.

(should I add that as a "rule" for the community?)

Perhaps not with those exact names, but there’s a fix:

Do you happen to remember the name of the game?

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 1 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing in particular in mind. And certainly nothing new. Just wanted to make something out of the 100+ micro maps I’ve done.

 

If you've been reading the comments in this community, an idea that has been brewing for some time is getting a bunch of these micro-maps a stitch them into something bigger.

I recovered many tiny pieces of paper and started making even smaller maps. I hope these help to fill in gaps when assembling a larger dungeon.

a little sus that it’s published by the same company that owns Traveller

How so?

Or maybe I need to finish my first cup of coffee? XD

Well it's fixed now.. so I didn't even get to clear cache and retry. But I did try opening on another browser (before writing my comment above) with similar results.

I want to be able to report a bug to the developers, but I have no idea what to tell them that might be useful. I guess I can dive into their issues tracker and take it from there.
