The computer game or TTRPG Pathfinder with the Kingmaker campaign?

That looks more like A to me. It seems more peaceful than B which has a bit more menace.

It depends on the feeling you want it to evoke.

My first proper rules were age ~12 in an adult club setting where they were running different rules pretty much every week. So I don't remember if Chainmail or Fast Rules or Fletcher Pratt or Frappé or Colonial Skirmish or something else was first. I remember bits of games but not the order.

His book is one of my very early wargames things, but I’ve never actually played the rules in it.

Thanks. Glad it works for you.

Yeah, I did a lot of Hexengarde printing in the last couple years. Still need to do some more unruined stuff when I get back to printing.

There are some good videos about it on YouTube. That’s what first caught my attention.

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you.

Nice. I really enjoyed painting the Foundry Cossacks too.

Later edition of the same
map Patton used, so I remember reading back when. Seems plausible, as I saw an official U.S. campaign map in the U.C.B. map room in the 80s it and had copies of the little road rise and fall chevrons from the Michelin map.

A simple, little dungeon is the last finished map in that notebook. I did quite a few in this stone barrow style. #dungeonmaps #dndmaps

Wilds encounters are determined when first triggered in a hex unless it is a quest goal or otherwise previously hinted. I roll in Knaves, OD&D, Worlds Without Number, a D30 book, Ultimate Toolbox, or do binary question dicing to get basically what is encountered, and riff on that.

The world around began with just theater of the mind interpretation based on the nearby settlements sketch provided by DunGen, eventuallly elaborated into a hexcrawl map centered on Sallowfort Hall, starting with the known, and dicing for terrain and encounter size/frequency of hexes as I drew it.

I’ve leaned into procedural generation for the Sallowfort dungeon contents, starting each level by generating it with my DunGen OD&Dish point crawl generator (meta-studios.com/dg/dungen.html), rearranged, tweaked, remixed loot to be more inline with Knave, and added details and interpretation.
