Description

During this workshop you’ll learn how to draw simple maps and map elements like walls, beds, treasure, etc to populate your maps with. You will explore the tricks and techniques to do this at the table, while running the game.

Do note, that this is NOT map design, but rather the skillset to draw an existing map in front of your players bit by bit, as they explore the map. You can also use it to prepare full maps, for for example outside area’s.

What you will learn/practice:

·        You will practice with basic drawing techniques that allow you to create simple images quickly.

·        You’ll start building your own visual library of icons that you’ll use over and over.

·        You’ll learn how to quickly draw terrain features like roads, bushes, walls and cliffs.

·        After the workshop you’ll have a basic understanding of what to prepare, so that you can draw with ease during your session. And also, what not to draw, because pen stroke takes time when you are running a session.

·         Every tool or technique learned in this way, can also be used to draw maps by hand before the session, which you can cover with dark paper and reveal as your party progressess through the map.
