Making a map used on Stream
### Mapping Valloward

This past week was special for me, as I gifted a map to some folks that ended up using it in their twitch streamed game.

The group is playing a Forged in the Dark based game called Court of Blades - a game of power politics, gunpowder diplomacy, renaissance magic, and romantic skullduggery.

The group began by playing a totally different game to organically create the world together called Ex Novo. It left them with a map that did everything they needed really, but that they wanted to update. It had been a while since I'd cracked open my drawing case, so the final result is admittedly a little rough still, but I am very proud of how it turned out AND that it was used on stream!

Getting back to what I was saying though... Ex Novo is a worldbuilding game that you can play solo or with a group to develop a setting. It's one I've owned for a while but not actively played yet, so seeing the Speculate! crew playing it was awesome. It's such a fun way to as a group make a setting that everyone has some direct connection to.

When you're playing Ex Novo, usually you'd be at a table passing around some pens or whatever, but since they were streaming from 3 different countries, they made use of a shared drawing tool, and the end result was this:

It probably looks like a chaotic mess to you, but there's actually a ton of information on here. City districts, landmarks, and other fun bits and bobs are all recorded on this paint-like canvas.

After that, there were a few worldbuilding and game master streams to further flesh out the world and the first official game where they were playing Court of Blades.

After that, the group had about a month between games and I managed to use that time to re-watch the worldbuilding streams and bust out my pens and pencils. Mike - the Dancing Master (game master) for the game had done a quick clean-up sketch himself of the ExNovo map, and I used both (plus my re-watch) as reference for my work.

It's functional! A lot cleaner than the prior one, and definitely gives you an idea of the island they're using. 

I took progress shots as I drew, and I've dumped some of the best ones here for you folks to see.

And finally, the moment the map I gifted the group showed up on my tv screen:

<center>![20221021_182813.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oblivioncubed/23wqg8FxACUW9ePgXFbPE4XyDgi1qjbJs53fp7c4uWYgjQzfbwk1AxMY5519BVpQqbPta.jpg)</center>

It was super cool to see something I made out in the world. I am probably going to do a round 2 of the map, as there's some stuff I'd like to improve and add, but overall... I'm extremely proud of this. 		

Until next time, happy gaming!

This is great. I used to draw a lot of maps as a kid, not for RPG's, because I didn't know what RPG's was back then. It was just a visual way of telling stories to myself. Fun times.

I used to do the same! Stashed away in some box in my storage room is a taped-together spread of six loose-leaf pages that were a sprawling map I made when I was like... 10? It was one of the first I made and was to do precisely what you mentioned - tell myself a story.

That's a proper way to develop imagination! I am grateful for growing up before smartphone/tablet era.
