Wandering Adventure Party

@kichae Ok wow, that's a really cool way to merge these tools and get some topography on your map.

I also enjoyed the map editing of SimCity. To this day I still don't know what 'Reticulating Splines' actually means!

@kichae I know nothing about Wonderdraft, but am furiously researching it now! Would you mind going into a little more detail about how you're using those screenshots?

And yeah, the Watabou cities are top notch. One of may favorite generators made by @watawatabou. Up there with Perilous Shores.

@bwebster Thanks! I will definitely check this out!

@bwebster that's awesome! And thanks for sharing your experience.

In terms of the narrative then, if Azgaar's has given you the back drop i.e. setting, how then do you create your narrative? Do you go in with some preplanned plot and connect it to that world, or do you let the players kind of find it as they go? Or something else entirely?

Also, do you think it's easy enough to change the tone or theme of the setting so it's not always "generic fantasy"? Does Azgaar's do this already?

@malin yeah the watabou generators are great. You would really have to use it for some emergent gameplay as far as I can tell. Maybe use some of the plot/adventure generators from Donjon to develop some initial story beats/hooks but then I feel like you'd need to lean hard on player motivation to find what the campaign is "about".

Open question to the Fediverse/Universe/Mastodon:

Has anyone used Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator in a TTRPG campaign? I'm super curious about people's experience with it. The amount of crunchy world details it provides are substantial, and theoretically I understand how one could use it as the setting for a campaign.

But I'm interested in if anyone HAS, and if so details like, for what system, and what was the experience like? Was it useful? A hindrance? Etc.?
