The Cartographer's Table - Which Mapping Software is Best for You?

Roleplayer's Chronicle, reviewer/interviewer, John Rust did an online text interview with me, discussing my background, my development of the Kaidan setting of Japanese horror through Rite Publishing and more! Check it out! I've been told this is also posted on Zite.com online news in the RPG sectio...

Haiku of Horror: Autumn Moon Bath House has gotten 2 reviews over the last few days. 10/10 by Roleplayer's Chronicle 4.5/5 by Endzeitgeist Looks I need to get the next one started! Edit: in a couple days, Cape Rust, who wrote that first review from Roleplayer's Chronicle, will be working with me in...

Apparently the Haiku of Horror product has been selling really well. And this is intended to be a series of iconic Japanese mapped locations with included cool encounter. So what iconic Japanese locale should I do next? Note: I do plan on doing a Japanese castle as the fourth or fifth release and it...

I'm starting to work on the specific provincial maps for each main island - for the time being I am working on the provinces of Genshu, the northern island of Kaidan. And for the first province, Atosa, located on the southwest region of Genshu. All the added communities, mountain names, a site of in...

Updated map of the Archipelago and Empire of Kaidan - for use in the upcoming Gamemasters Guide to Kaidan, in whole for the gazetteer, as well as broken down into provinces with added labels for named forests, lakes, rivers, mountains, additional communities and sites of interest. This has taken me ...

Here's my latest map, though not Japanese in style, rather an illustrative map of a cross-section elevation of a sunken pirate ship submerged in the mud and silt at the bottom of an inlet. There is a cut away view of the ship's interior... Enjoy! Link to larger file: Brigatine's Rest http://www.game...

http://www.gamer-printshop.com/kaidan/tolling-cover.jpg The Tolling of Tears Beware the mournful tones of the bell. The great bell of the Kinogasa-Taisha shrine has a history almost as colorful as the village in which it dwells. The villagers believe it is the ringing of the bell, during the annual...

So I've already created the rough draft for the intended product that will feature these maps - the Haiku of Horror series #1, which is obviously a map product of iconic Japanese locations that will come with complete GM labeled maps and room-by-room gazetteer, as well as an article on the subject o...

Floor 4: Proprietor's office and quarters - note the narrow balconies on the east/west sides of these chambers.

Next working on the bathhouse grounds map

Autumn Moon Bathhouse, Level 3: the staff communal quarters, or in the case of a bathhouse controlled by the yakuza, this is the Kyodai gang quarters.

Level 2 of the bathhouse: tearoom/restaurant level, can also serve as a gambling/entertainment hall, and at night houses large parties as a communal sleeping area (pilgrims, etc.)

Working on a new set of maps for a possible upcoming new product line for my Kaidan setting. Something I call, the Haiku of Horror series which will consist of a set of labeled GM maps, and unlabeled players maps created at 1" = 5' scale (sliced pages so you can tape together the whole map for ...

Entombed far below the earth, brave warriors awaken in darkness, with no memory of who they are or how they came to be there. Now these warriors must ascend out of the depths. ...

We have reached our Tier 2 goal of $7K to give us a 200 page Kaidan GM's Guide, and now for a "Hail Mary" play by Steve Russell. He's decided to release the Player's Guide in 32 page increments at $1250 each (we need about $675) to reach the first increment and hopefully release something ...

With just over 3 days left in the Kaidan Campaign Setting Kickstarter , and $610 to go to reach our next tier goal ($7000), we could surely use some last minute pledges to help us get there (hint, hint...) Jonathan McAnulty posted as an update to the Kickstarter, a look at the tentative outline for ...

Add to that Wes Schneider has agreed to write the forward to the Kaidan GM's Guidebook. Since Wes it the resident Gothic Horror guru on the Paizo staff, as Ustalav is his baby within the Golarian setting, he's ideal to introduce Kaidan's horror offering to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

F. Wesley Schneider, Editor in Chief at Paizo Publishing just became a backer to the Kaidan Kickstarter project, and has officially endorsed the product on my Facebook page ! That's always good news! We've just got 20 days left, and though we've reached our basic funding, we really want to produce t...

We've reached our Tier 1 goal of $4000 and are now on to our next Tier goal of $7000 - thank you, pledgers! Two new incentives: All patrons of $40 or more, will receive an exclusive one-shot Kaidan adventure as we cross each tier goal, and since we've already crossed Tier 1, that means all qualifyin...

Thank you, all pledgers so far - we are at 95% to goal! Though that's for Tier 1 ($4000) towards a 150 page GM's guide. We still want to fund a Player's Guide and Bestiary, but we'll see at the end of the Kickstarter in 42 days. Some new Tier bonuses will be updated to the Kickstarter page on Monday...

Here's one of the maps we want to include in the Complete Gamemaster's Guide to Kaidan, this is what makes the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2, 50 more pages for the guidebook - we want to include more maps (12 of them) for specific interesting locales in Kaidan. This is the tengu village of Ak...

[ Kickstarter] Kaidan Campaign Setting (PFRPG) After the release of The Curse of the Golden Spear trilogy of adventures, our free Halloween released one-shot, Frozen Wind, and 6 race, faction and haunt supplements for the Kaidan setting, we're finally readying to create a complete Kaidan GM's Handbo...

This illustration is the only one with a background, because the resource photo featured him sitting on a mountain peak, which fit the concept so well, I had to include it. This is our alternate paladin class for Kaidan, called the Yamabushi... http://www.gamer-printshop.com/cbg/yamabushi-on-the-mou...
