Last week I started playing around with a new mapping concept. I haven't quite finished up the "Web-hatching" on this particular map yet, but it's coming along. Pictured to the left are a before and after shot of the webbing. I have also filled in all of the lines on the map darker (which I haven't taken a picture of yet). What I might end up doing is scanning the map the way it stands now, and then finishing up the web hatch in pen, it's currently in pencil. That way I can always reprint it if I don't like how it goes.
Whenever I get this into gimp, what I think I'll do is add a dark grey layer, and then possibly do some airbrush stuff and see how it comes out.
Of course I have a few ideas for this map. For example, there is a crypt? is this in the basement of a church? Why are there other two entrances? Where do they lead to? A tavern basement perhaps? Further there are also 3 sets of stairs leading into the depths. Where do these go? what monsters lurk below?
This feels like its going to be a 3 level b/x dungeon.
With a little help from some 1e DMG random tables.
Whenever I get around to filling the map, I intend to not draw all 3 maps and then fill them. Instead, I am going to do one at a time. This way it's not so daunting!
