The second part of the Gygax ’75 Challenge is to create a map of the world. Gary suggests in the article that we use a large piece of hex ruled paper and a scale of 1 hex = 1 mile (or 1.6 km) although he admits to using different scales as well.
I don’t have ready access to hex paper, but what I do have is a dot journal that I’ve been using for a while now to help me focus. Below you’ll find a quick map that I drew to help firm up the world.
My scale is 2 dots = 1 mile.
As you can see all of the major locations that I noted on the previous part make an appearance – except for the Seven Ladies. I’m going to use them as a trade organization similar to the Ashmouths in Sam Sykes Seven Blades in Black. This allows me to have my own thief-ish guild to run in the world that can appear in different places.
What about you? Did you make a map for today? Let me know and I’ll ad a link below!
