depending on how you are using these colors, you might want to pick something lighter/brighter/saturated for the blue/purple if used on the black as a background Also keep in mind that printed colors are much darker than screen colors in general

This matches my story I drew an isometric dungeon for my home game and my players thought I should share it. Merry Mushmen grabbed it for Knock #2 and I turned it into Desiccated Temple of Locha, my adventure for OSE through Exalted Funeral. Through that I started doing map commissions

we just started Act 3: Miami Road Trip last session. I'm pretty sure our GM has the extended adventures if we want to keep going My average session note from this game has been 1200 words. Here's a graph view of all the notes and all their connections *so far* --Possible spoilers for God's Teeth--

A while back I found a copy of someone's transcription of the dnd 2e Encyclopedia Magica, a set of 4 books containing every magic items released for 2e up to that point It was a massive 1300 page docx document I chopped it into markdown files. It took forever Wish I could share it :(
Screenshot from the note app Obsidian. The main screen displays the table of contents page for the Encyclopedia Magica, and on the left sidebar is the alphabetical list of item folders.  J is open and features Jar, Javelins, Jettison, and Jug files

My damn manager has been in my face all day. I'm going to report him to HR, he demands his team give him constant pets, call him cute names like "my big handsome boi" and retaliates by pushing pens off our desks and biting our paint brushes

Screenshot of 2 images in a digital drawing app. On the right is a photo of a small 7 room cave dungeon featuring a hippogriff nest on a cliff face cave opening and a small dungeon chapel with 4 rooms. On the left is the beginning of redrawing the pencil sketch on the right in black ink. Only the room outlines are complete so far.

I make cool maps
black and white hand illustrated hex map for a fantasy ttrpg game. 3/4 of the map features the majority of a large island continent with an ocean surrounding it to the east and south.  There is a mountainous southern coast ending in a peninsula. The majority of the continent is grassland with occasional forests and hills

A face-down bloated corpse stiffly bobs on the surface of the murky water flooding the entrance room... commission for @thirdkingdom.bsky.social #FantasyMap #dnd #MapMaker #osr
A close up view from a black and white dungeon map.  The main 50x40 foot room features a  20x10 sunken pit in the center. A dead body floats face down on the eastern side of the room.

 There are arches to the east into a 10x30 bathhouse space. To the south is a door leading to a long hallways with 3 doors ending in debris.
