Affinity template for #mythicbastionland sites. Far too much struggle. The location icons do not properly snap to the index numbers; hate the look of the triangle sites; the routes are styles, but no idea how to make that work for closed routes except with an extra crossbar. It will do.

Now is the time to not spend another 2 weeks on questionable improvements, but one thing I learned from the playtest is that having the index numbers (d6 and d12) of Myths at hand is a good idea, so I adapted the Myth tiles a little (these are not the actual numbers for this Myth).

This is a ruin in a coniferous forest that is also a Curse location (the scribles along the border). The main terrain tile is the ruin, the trees to the left and right are a transparent overlay tile, as is the Curse. In this way, I can create landmarks in a variety of terrains.

Even though my illustration skills are badly lacking, the final result is quite pleasing to me. The terrain illustrations are evocative of a general landscape type, but still leave enough rule for the imagination, following the "map is not the territory" idea.

Since I find myself unable to use even excellent, obviously superior prior work, I decided to cook my own system for hex map drawing using Affinity Publisher. #mythicbastionland

I held off until I had the physical book, so yesterday I ran a mini-playtest of #mythicbastionland and was not surprised to find that this game has endless potential. 3 hexes and some spark table rolls in and the story bloomed into all directions.
