Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can.
Sir Terry Pratchett
Hi you, it’s me! Thanks for popping by! During the crazy times, AKA the Covid Pandemic, a handful of friends and I got together online to play Dungeons and Dragons. I soon learned I really enjoyed the game and we’ve continued ever since. As the dungeon master, I would often spend hours crafting our adventures, and naturally, that led to some map-making.

To map or not to map?
As mentioned in my previous post, I’m a big fan of maps.
