Why?
Mainly, it is tedious. Day after day, sharing a room with the brief notes I have, is dull. I would not want to read something like that, and I assume neither would you.
Another reason for this is I just do not have it in me.
Still, I know people enjoy seeing progress, so I plan to share what happens every few days. That way, you can see that I am working, and it forces me to not go silent while working on this.
With that out of the way, here is what I have so far.
The first thing you notice is simple: I suck at maps.
Only some people are as talented as Dyson, and I will not attempt to mimic that style. Sure I can use one of the few dungeon map generators out there, but that takes the fun out of doing this. The charm of dungeons is taking a pencil and letting your imagination wander. Allowing the computer to generate one randomly for you kills the fun. I loved taking pencil to graph paper as a kid and letting my imagination run wild. So that is what I am doing here.
One last thing; tools. As a follow-up to my previous post, I have assembled the rest of my tools. So, if you want to know what I use, here they are.
Picture one is a To Do list and the first of three notebooks I will use. As you see from the title, this one covers any notes I want to jot down. I am also a nerd, and I indicate the date I started it and number it to keep things organized.
Pictures two and three show you the other two notebooks. They also have the start date and book number indicated on the cover.
Picture four is my writing pouch and my writing tools.
Picture five is everything together. The leather cover is one of my favorite things. It has three elastic strings, which allow for one book each. It has enough room to keep my planner and a pad of sticky notes. The elastic band provides for everything to be secured in one spot.
That is the three-day summary, and three rooms are done so far.
Will I continue creating the dungeon?
Will I continue blogging about it?
Will I go make myself a cup of coffee?
Tune in next time for the answers to this and all questions.
