Geomorph: Dungeon #6

Instead of writing some DungeonWords, I tried drawing them.

Dungeon Geomorph Five

I wanted to see how the borderless look would come out. Seems OK to me, so for the sake of Dave's Mapper I'll go with it.

But now I have to erase the borders on the old morphs.  Good thing there's only four of 'em :)

I suppose I should have another go at the wilderness tiles, too.

Dungeon #4

Clearly the Dyson Logos Hatching is the industry standard in dungeon geomorph fill.

I'm starting to wonder what sets the morphs apart from each other.  Take this one, f'r instance.  It's another sudoku dungeon.  Leaving aside the DungeonWords there are three connections that don't exactly connect, and two of those are stairways to other levels.  True, one could just take any dead-end and turn it into a stairway.  But one can just as easily whiteout any stairway and be left with a dead-end.  What's the point in having such features on the geomorphs at all if they're not making GMs think about them and try to make sense of 'em?

Dungeon Geomorph #3

You just gotta have a spinning fireplace in your dungeon.  It's tradition.

Still experimenting with ink and DungeonWords (love that CamelCase) and other things.  After another several dozen of these tiles I may just get the hang of it all.

Dungeon Geomorph #2 Revisited

Had to fix the damn thing.  To fit the space properly I turned the secret door in the bottom left to a boring old open doorway.

Dungeon Geomorph #2

I did a bit of experimenting on this one.  First off, I tried out Greywulf's sudoku dungeons guide.  It's definitely a good tool to jump start a stalled brain.

Next, I inked it before scanning it.  Before now I had just scanned the pencils and skreeked the contrast curves in the computer to make the blacks blacker, the whites whiter, and give it that lemony-fresh scent.  I guess it's OK but if I ink again perhaps I should get a finer pen and a little better quality of paper?

And as you can see, I followed Tim "Risus Monkey" Ballew's idea of writing words in a few of the rooms to serve as imagination fuel.  I just used the table from the sudoku dungeons post as the source 'cause I'm terribly lazy right now.

Something I need to avoid in the future is placing a secret door on the edge connections.  You're left with either half an "S" or an ugly white strip breaking up the fill pattern.  In any case, it's yuck.

Another Day, Another Geomorph

Well, of course I'm going to draw up some Dyson Logos style geomorphs.

These are such fun little ten-by-ten tiles of goodness.  It's no wonder everybody's making them.  Besides, I've got to get working on level two of this...
