Robotic Topologist DD/HS OUT NOW! @robotic-topologist.itch.io · 08/10/2026So do what I do and give your players bad maps. A shitty map they need to ponder over and make assumptions about is so much more fun (and easier to draw) than a fully fleshed out perfectly detailed world map Here's my "bad" map for our Dragonbane campaign with lots of blank space left to explore! 170
Robotic Topologist DD/HS OUT NOW! @robotic-topologist.itch.io · 08/10/2026When it comes to RPGs, giving your players a 1:1 map is a missed opportunity. "Inaccurate" maps are not only more evocative and tell a better story, but they let the players fill in the blanks, both literally and figuratively! An obviously wrong map also allows for the players to get lost 😉 140
Robotic Topologist DD/HS OUT NOW! @robotic-topologist.itch.io · 08/10/2026Of course, the concept of being able to depict the world with perfect accuracy is a modern one. Up until relatively recently, we didn't even know what most of the planet looked like. Before that, the tools and technology of cartography were limited such that our best efforts were still just a guess 130
Robotic Topologist DD/HS OUT NOW! @robotic-topologist.itch.io · 08/10/2026Even when attempting to Portray reality as accurately as possible, maps have so often been used to communicate specific ideas and concepts that the image of reality is secondary to the idea they are trying to communicate 130
Robotic Topologist DD/HS OUT NOW! @robotic-topologist.itch.io · 08/10/2026I think there's a bit of an obsession, especially among GMs, for their fantasy maps to reflect the world they portray 1:1. I understand this can be useful at times behind the screen or in a published module, but maps have historically been useful for reasons other than accuracy 171
Robotic Topologist DD/HS OUT NOW! @robotic-topologist.itch.io · 31/07/2026If you want space-faring, gun-slinging adventures (with the occasional sword duel), you aren't going to get that from Dungeons & Dragons no matter how much official art they slap on the cover. You WILL get that from Drier Deserts, Hotter Suns though! A game designed with all that in mind! 093
Robotic Topologist DD/HS OUT NOW! @robotic-topologist.itch.io · 07/07/2026No quick-start guide yet, but community copies on itch will always be available for free for everyone! For context, the book is about 120 pages, but only 5 of those are actual rules 131
Robotic Topologist DD/HS OUT NOW! @robotic-topologist.itch.io · 06/07/2026DD/HS is essentially a very rules light OSR/NSR type game with an D&D 4e/Lancer style ship combat system on top of it. You are very squishy outside of your ship, but once you're in space, the game gets to be a tactical co-operative space wargame. 2136
