    Default December / January Lite challenge: an idyllic small town

    This month's challenge is to map an archetypical fantasy town.

    Play it straight or for laughs but try to get in as many fantasy tropes as you can.

    The challenge will close on or about 15th January - there's not much time, so best of luck!

    Good luck to all!

    OK, JTougas - you have now been slapped with the Mackerel of Motivation, which mostly deletes the effects of that ol' Dull Drum Ring.

    Personally, I'm wondering about detailing the environs of the town of Leak, built at the site of a major, um, unintentional output of the Great Southern Aqueduct.

    Good idea for a challenge! Thank you so so much to Ravells; I've been out of commission and internetless for the most part for the last couple of weeks (moving), and he saved my bacon by closing out the last challenge and setting up this one.

    Thanks again, man!

    What day is this map due? I'd love to participate, but it'll be hand drawn, so I'll try to scan it or take a picture of it.

    I'm working on it, but didn't want to post unless I was sure I'd finish.

    The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.
