Sorry if you see this a couple of times today.…
I’m participating more in MicroMap Monday, so thought I’d share the Micromaps from the past week.
Last Monday (Oct 20), the theme was “Plants.”
Why is the root bad? Why is tallgrass only on one side of the trunk? Who lives in Enemy Hill, and why do you feel guilty when you think about them?
Then, my friend Peter and I decided to start doing some ATC maps. ATCs are Artist Trading Cards– like baseball cards, but you make art with them and trade them with your friends, use them in swaps, etc. They’re popular in the online swap world, and a nice, small format for expressing your art without embarking in a huge project.
Here’s my first one:
The back of the ATC is usually where you include your contact information or maybe something about the artwork:
In this case, I included my name, CC-license, blog URL, and some questions about the map:

And finally, here’s this week’s Micro-Map Monday (10/27) entry. Unofficial theme was “mountain madness.”

Sorry if you see this a couple of times today. We’re moving my blog server, so this low-content post is going to test a few things for me.

This is Jarl Gorvik’s Meadhall:
It’s on an index card, in pencil. If you want to use this map, feel free. Here are some of the questions you should have your adventurers try to answer:
Next up is the Cliff-Climber:
This micro-map is on a post-it flag, stuck to the pen I used to draw it.
I hope you enjoy these maps, while I continue testing our server migration!
