I'm also am working on re-drawing a duchy map from 1984 from the pencil sketch I did at that time. Here is a village map I've been working on as a practice.

Making Maps
I downloaded a free copy of Hexographer mapping software last week and I've been playing around with it ever since. I managed to duplicate the campaign map that we were given by our GM for weekly game and update it with newly discovered territory.

This Is For Joe
Our GM is not a fan of Facebook, but he occasionally looks at my blog to see what I am saying about the campaign. We recently encountered Ettercaps for the first time. This was posted on the Dungeons and Dragons Memes Facebook page. Enjoy.

Wish Me Luck
I mailed off my postcard contest entry yesterday. With about two weeks left before the deadline I've heard that Steve Jackson Games has received about 10 of them. Small numbers make my odds of winning sound good. We'll wait and see.

Homemade Counters
I love the new counters for The Fantasy Trip, but I also enjoy customizing my stuff, so I made counters of my own for our current campaign.
Top rows are the five members of our band of adventurers plus our friendly ogre, Ralph.
Second row are five members of our militia that we use from time to time. In our last big battle we used them plus five more generic archers to fight a large force of "Dark Hobbits".
The bottom row contains NPCs we have regular dealings with. Sir Oswald is a hedge knight, Ogden is a merchant who we have guarded his caravan many times. Stafford is a hedge mage who once was a bear. Roger, or more correctly now, Lord Rumbold is the Lord Mayor of the town of East Riding.
Finally there is Snidley. He is steward to the Ogre Lord of Gromly, but we suspect that he is the real power, in not only the town, but over the entire island.
I printed the counters onto card stock at a copy shop and mounted them to a stiff cardboard. I wanted to use artist illustration board, but the craft store I went to didn't have any. Instead I used drink coasters from a steak house we go to on occasion. (G'day mates.) It worked out fairly well. Maybe we will try them out this coming week.
