Greetings Order of Shieldice! I Hope you're well. Just a quick post today to send you some simple little dice rolling oracles to keep by your side whilst world-building. 🧭 ✏️ 🎲
I've been using them for solo play, but they can just as easily be used to generate map-making ideas by quickly rolling up biomes and key words! 🗺
We've got some more abstract maps coming this month, so keep an eye out for thos...

Hark! Order of Shieldice! 🔮
Today you have early access to these maps! x4 abstract dungeons (used for Mörk Borg, but entirely system neutral in their design). The pack contains blank maps, maps with prominent locations depicted, and maps with markers so you can write up any story elements and location names you wish! ✏️
Hope you enjoy these, as there'll be more coming (I'll be creating them for upcoming sessions). I'm thinking of compiling all of my...

Greetings, Order of Shieldice! 🛡 Today, we have a new 28 page book. A sequel of sorts to the much loved 'Scenario Builder'! In this generator tool, you can draw playing cards and roll dice to create city districts and the sections within them, and add events that all connect to an overarching plot. 🏰
Explore darkening city streets that run through merchant districts, military districts, ports and more. Populate the winding ways with odd happenings, graff...

Greetings Order of Shieldice! 🛡 I hope you're well. Today's post is something new... Welcome, to the Wayward Worlds! This is the first issue in a series of 24 page digital magazines, each covering a new and exciting location or sub-genre. The first issue, Black Rain, is very much inspired by the Castlevania games! 🧛♂️ 💀 🩸 🦇 🗡

📒 Hi all, just a quick post for the Order of Shieldice! I hope you're well. This is a printable, 340 page World-Building Diary/Planner for 2024. It came as a free addition for our latest, completed Kickstarter, so I thought I'd post it here for all you avid forgers of realms!
It's A5, and probably best wire/spiral bound. Your local printers can do this for you, or you can upload it to an online print service.

Hi all! I hope you're well. Today's post is a fun concept I recently played around with. I needed a quick map for a session, so came up with the idea of using top-down Drone Photos of landscapes within hexes to create an abstract, textured map layout. I designed three locations, and allowed the player to choose which environment they'd like to explore by showing them a section of each map (this was a one on one session t...

Welcome, mighty Patrons! How are you? I hope you're all doing great!
Today's post is very different to the usual, but I thought the solo rpg hobby enthusiasts among you might get some use out of it (or a GM could use the maps to plan a session!).
This came about because I've been testing my own solo rpg system (that has been in the works on and off for a long time). I was seeing how it would work when implementing unique settings and supplements, and admit I got a little carried a...
