Morning :)

Oh, good deal, search is back.

My haul from a secondhand bookshop on the weekend. $2-3 each, whole pile cost $25

@Shalvenay Hi!

@Pureferret Nah, nothing like that

@Adeptus Good haul :)

@Pureferret Only in the sense that the creatures in the allowed list (You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel." are all Tiny

@Pureferret Although it might interest you to know that the NPC statblock with the familiar trait allows creatures outside the list, but specifically says Tiny monsters

also -- I have an overall worldmap, but it's on a rather small piece of paper and not on a grid at all

(and not really to scale)

@Shalvenay Well, I should point out that I've never actually designed a world.

aaah :)

But I'd suggest thinking about what you want the metropolises to be like, then adjust geography to match.

well, I have the overall geography set down, and all I need for now is a small village

/me looks over to @Adeptus and @Nyoze re: how to redraw a worldmap onto a hex grid

Logically, a large part of the story will take place in places people live, so getting those places to do what you need them to is probably more important than geographic details.

@Shalvenay Don't look at me - All my mapping experience is in square grids for Muds :(

well, a square grid might work as well

I just need it scaled up and on a grid :) but I'm not sure how much it needs to be scaled

@Shalvenay That's up to you - maps I've used in the past have had 10 mile hexes, 5 mile squares, and 1 mile squares, and all of them worked fine

:) I was more referring to sizeof(paper) -- I suppose an 8.5*11 sheet would do
