Workin' On The City Kit...

That's a first draft for the map of Eshrigel the Medusa's place. The squiggly spiral thing above her head is the symbol for "secret door". (Click to make it bigger.)

I'm at a loss for 'H'. Water closet?; October 22, 2010 at 8:12 PM

biopunk said...: Is there a convention you're using for white/light-lined steps being 'up' and heavy/dark lines for 'down'?; October 22, 2010 at 8:49 PM
Chris Lowrance said...: Let me see if I'm getting the way the stairway notation works: The entrance (A) goes down into the hallway (G). At the opposite end you go up to J, and there's also a stair in her room going... I'll venture down since there's no more room on the next floor, to E?; October 22, 2010 at 8:53 PM

What's in N? Looks cool/weird.; October 23, 2010 at 1:06 AM
Il Male™ said...: Cool! I hope you'll post many preview, I can't wait!; October 23, 2010 at 1:36 AM
Zak Sabbath said...: @Chris

A is actually a turret on TOP of the building, and L is the ground floor entrance.

there's a stairway that goes A-G and one going G-J and there are also stairs in the upper right between B and F.

N contains an undead monster in a cage; October 23, 2010 at 1:45 AM

stairs go both ways, I just use the different colors to distinguish them so you could follow their paths.; October 23, 2010 at 1:48 AM
thekelvingreen said...: Will every map look like this? Will this be the first D&D supplement that can double as an art book?

I said "guaranteed sale" the other day when this was announced. I don't know how to top that, but consider it topped nonetheless. I can't wait for this book.; October 23, 2010 at 2:33 AM
Munin said...: This is so cool. Can't wait.; October 23, 2010 at 8:07 AM

I see the door now. My Western ethnocentrism had me reading this from the top down (I thought the layout seemed wrong based on the I Hit It episodes). And I mistook the B for an E dispite the "e" right next to it. Doh.

I think it'll work just fine as both a map and cool art, then, especially in context.; October 23, 2010 at 8:30 AM
Rath said...: I'm sure this map makes a lot of sense to you Zak, but when I look at it, I can't make heads or tails of it. Still, this city kit you're working on has me very intrigued.; November 11, 2010 at 5:01 PM
Zak Sabbath said...: @Rath--

1.did you look at the revised version posted in the next entry? and
