This'll be a bit long, so bear with me ;) ... I normally post in the Art forum, but this seemed to be a more "general RPG" post. I'll present my views here, but I welcome further elaborations or even contrasting ideas, so please share :) While designing parts of my dwarven keep, I kept...

My players get a kick out of my "quick sketches" I do for my games, so I thought I'd share. The first two are of the adventure area: the Kingdom of Adelot, One of which I did in ink the other with colored pencil, the 3 towns are very quick sketches so that I'd know where the PC's were while...
