Chris Perkins Teases Map Sketches

Tower of Storms is probably in the seafaring book

I love how he calls them “sketches”. So modest ...

Also, in a subsequent tweet, he commented that the giant crab is really friendly.

That's good. I like random things that are giant, but also friendly. I will name him Snips.

Dragon Barrow probably in a fantasy book.

I suppose he means his draft that he hands over to the artist to make a final map?

Probably, but I would argue they’re good enough that he doesn’t need to get someone else to do a final version.

They are for sure usable and pleasing looking, but WotC has an aesthetic they are going for. Even if they go more minimalist, as with the Dyson maps in Waterdeep, these aren't quuuuite prime time ready.

I dunno. I think they’re good enough.

Do you mean Turgenev's maps in Mad Mage? Did Dyson do maps for Dragon Heist? Or something else?

Dyson did the maps for Dragon Heist, Turgenev for Mad Mage. It will be interesting to find out if they stick with that style, go back to hyper-detailed, or something in between.

Personally, I'm rooting for bluescale architectural diagrams.

Neat. I didn't know that about Dragon Heist.

It's either one of the best parts about Dragon Heist, or one of the worst, depending on who you ask.
