    Map July 2018 Challenge: Shadowside Block in the City of Waywick

    July 2018 Challenge: A Little Bit of Everything

    I set the random locations generator to "in town" and generated this list:
    July Challenge-RandomLocations.JPG

    I saw at least 4 or 5 topics I wanted to do and couldn't make up my mind so I am going to try to do at least parts of all of them. For the past year I have been working on a large set of maps that are large connectable City Blocks. So I am combining this challenge with my big project and I am making a new City Block Map that will incorporate all these ideas.

    Here is my first draft showing the layout of the block, and including (#9) Somewhere on Copper Passage there is a (#2) Wizards Tower guarded by fire elementals. Nearby is a (#3) Marketplace on (#4) Scarp Passage in the city of Wywich.

    Nice start on this. I like that the buildings are all irregular shapes. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

    And not a brothel in sight!

    Here is a view of the section of the map that is most finished so far.

    I added the Bloody Thorn Inn with a private room for the thief.

    While there is a lot more to do on the map, I have done 5 of the 10 items on the list, plus another one is just the name of a street with no description.
    The Bloody Thorn inn with the thief's room, the Wizard's tower guarded by fire elementals, a Marketplace on Scarp Passage, The infamous Red Door Happy Ending Club, A Foul Stench on Mace Row, and Copper Passage.
    Details and shadowing still to be done, a couple of petty Lords Chambers and lots more of the empty rooms to be filled.

    Sooo.. we got more than a brothel? Cool!
    That slimy ooze is a bit scary, though.

    Looks very nice already. Would like to use that in an RPG game.

    Thanks Ilanthar, a brothel is never enough. That ooze IS nasty, and I believe it is moving uphill.

    Thanks hansolo! I appreciate you using your first post to comment on my map! Welcome to the Guild!
    You are welcome to use it in your game. As I mention in my first post, I have been working on a large set of similar City Block Maps that will be connectable, generating a large portion of a city. When I get most of them done I will be starting a Kickstarter to promote them.

    Latest WIP: I filled in a lot more of the buildings.

    I am 95% finished with the layout and contents. Now I need to add a lot of shadows, grunge, and mood effects, as well as a legend. I am going to use the empty building in the bottom of the map that only has my avatar/logo in it for the legend.

    There may be only one brothel, but there are lots of other places to lose, ugh, spend your money.

    What do you think of the border? I was thinking a stone texture maybe.
