The Digging Machines
Added 2024-01-09 16:51:15 +0000 UTCThis map is an underground mining complex run by mechanical constructs. It has equipment for stamping and smelting ore, as well as a factory for making more constructs. I imagine this place being built by deep gnomes or duergar, since they are:
A) Good at engineering, and
B) Crazy enough to think building self-replicating machines is a good idea.
For patrons, I've got a version without the machines in case you just want a regular mine. And there's the unfurnished version as well for anyone who just wants some caves.
There's some good stuff coming up, so let's talk about it. Do you like castles? I hope the answer is yes, because castles are happening. Bullet list mode, engage.
- Next up is Scaligero Castle, a very unique Italian fortress with its own walled harbor.
- After that, I'll be drawing the Chateau de Breze, a French castle with a complex network of tunnels running underneath it. I visited this place a while back and took hundreds of photos of these tunnels so I could make a map of them one day. That day is soon.
- A few months back, the Castel Sant'Angelo came in second to the Chateau de Breze in a vote for the next big historical map. But Shawn proposed the Castel Sant'Angelo to the Cartographic Congress last month and won, so I'll be drawing that too. In case you're unfamiliar with the place, it was originally built as the tomb of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, but was later turned into a fortress by the pope. It's another very unique place.
So, that's our future: a France sandwich with two slices of Italy. How's that sound?
Comments
Scaligero sounds extremely useful as many places don't have their own harbor (the various ways this could be used in game... fun) a castle with it's own tunnel network yes please. And castel sant'angelo was featured in the movie "Angels and Demons" with tom hanks. That would also be an incredible map to have. Please don't stop doing such incredible work.
