Hello all! I'm Ambitious Sloth, or Ambi for short. My passion is creating maps for fantasy worlds and writing for them. I also have written a short #ttrpg called Keyhole I'm pretty proud of! You can find it here and there's both a free and paid version:

Good player quote from the D&D session I'm running:

PRIEST: (asks an idiot question)
THIEF: Don't you have to, like, go to school to be a priest?
PRIEST: I got expedited.
THIEF: I don't know what that means.
PRIEST (choking back a sob): Neither do I

Been testing out ideas for doing stylized maps of real places for a free Keyhole scenario. Mostly focusing on topography and terrain. This one I think finally got to where I like it!

For #wipwednesday I sadly don't have a map to show off because my #ttrpg group decided last session they want me to run Reach of the Roach God. So Instead I've been working on a custom character sheet for that that will use a slightly homebrewed version of Mork Borg.

I drew this map a few years ago now, and looking back at it I can't help but feel it's still missing something. I still love it though, and one (of many) things I'd like to eventually do is a series of Middle Earth maps.

What's your favourite fictional world?

Woke up to over 200 followers. Thanks everyone! Here's a map I made that ended up getting use in a short #dnd campaign. Peaceguard used to be the capital, until the cruel king sealed himself inside and closed off the island. But that was 100 years ago so he's surely dead by now. Right? #fantasymaps

Currently in the process of doing a full run through of Labyrinth.os to make sure nothing is totally broken (there are many things broken).

It's been a while since I've had a map to post, but today I spent some of my lunch break roughing out an idea that's been in my head for a while. Heavily inspired by me finding my old A Thousand Thousand Islands zines.

My partner has a need to fiddle with and dismantle things while on long work calls.

Somehow this morning he found a lightbulb to play with. I had to take it away from him like when you find a dog chewing on something they shouldn't.

(Don't worry, I replaced it for him with one of our cat's toys)

What was the first #TTRPG that got you hooked? And, if you could go back and play it with fresh eyes, would you? Let's hear those origin stories and shout out the games that started it all!

When I was about 13 my dad got my younger brother and I the #dnd 3.5 starter box, and DMed the included adventure for us. Ever since then I've been in love with TTRPGs. Shortly after that I even started DMing for my dad and brother, I just couldn't stop.

Hi! I'm gonna repost some of the Fire Emblem maps I drew to not let them get drowned so much by my daily map challenge. Today, I'll be reposting here the three GBA FE maps that I drew earlier this year. I hope you like it!

This Halloween has me thinking about my #morkborg map I made for my home game last year. It was a great piece of art to have on the table as we (even me as the DM) lost our minds wandering the dying world.

My current "for fun" project is practice in stocking a blank 200+ room dungeon. Forgot how much I enjoy just placing lil' guys in a dungeon and thinking about how the various groups would interact. I'm sorry there's a zombified ogre in your kitchen random thugs, but it won't be your problem forever.

Oh wow, a bunch of new follows showed up over night. Thank you everyone! I really appreciate it! Here's another map I made. This is a concept map I made for fun. There some extra details in the alt text too. #ttrpg #fantasymaps
