Glantri Revisited

I needed a break from the present Calidar project.  Here's the result: Glantri's Great School of Magic.  Hope enjoy the greater detail than what was on GAZ3's poster map.  I tweaked a few things but I think you'll be fine with the result.  Click on the map to enlarge the image.  This one was produce at 600 dpi, 8.5 x 11.  Cheers!


Note: I've updated the map scale to 5' per square.

Piecing a Dream Together

So, here I am trying to piece together Calidar's Dreams of Aerie, hacking away at a treasure trove of floor plans and getting a sense of how text and graphics fit together. The first two chapters were easy enough, though big charts became necessary to sort of throngs of personalities making up the flying circus staff. About a hundred NPCs belong to one of several professional guilds (acrobats, beast handlers, freaks, laborers, etc.) Each may also be aligned with one of three secret societies. If this weren't enough, some folk are cursed with an affliction which comes in addition to guilds and secret societies affiliations: ...plenty right here for referees to sink their fangs into. Illustrations will be needed to give a face to the most important characters. Kickstarter allowing, these may be color art (crossing my fingers.) Naturally, cover art will give a view of the circus, and I do have an artist already waiting to get started.
