WIP map of the #ttrpg adventure. We’re not sure which view works best, so here’s both: top-down and isometric 😄
The terrain is very organic, but the grid map makes it play like you would expect
If you haven’t already, check out the project. We are hoping to join #zinetopia, so every follow counts!

And that's just the start. There's actually a lot of technique and intentionality behind things like page numbers, running headers, etc.
