Re: Maps and Map Notes

Here's a map without notes but with the various excursions shown. The thicker the line, the more time spent in the hex. Still thinking how to best do map notes.

Exp 1 : red; a circumnavigation of the two main lakes, with several encounters {goblins, stirges, ogre}
Exp 2 : purple; explored east to mountains. Major encounters in the castle area. The expedition took in both maps. Old monastery found. Encountered gumps, goblins, war dogs.
Exp 3 : orange; a thorough exploration of hexes east of Tor Manis. Sacred oak, old bridge, straight road and winery road discovered.
Exp 4 : grey; met James. Aborted trip.
Exp 5 : yellow; explored winery, another journey east to mountains. Encountered (mousemen), wyverns, nisha. Kilian had a dream, lost James.

That's awesome. :) Thanks.

I think it is about the same as mine but will have to check. Keeping track of exactly how many EP you have spent in a hex is a pain on the main map, so I might just highlight a few hexes where you have only spent 1 EP, to make it easier to figure out where you might potentially have missed something.

Cheers.

Yeah, I had a similar headache around keeping track of time spent in the hex. Then I had an epiphany -- we don't need to! I'm using thin line = 1 EP, thick line = 3 EP when going through a hex. If we want to know total time in a hex, just count the lines through it. For example, C12 = two thick lines -> 6 EP. F15 = two thin lines -> 2 EP. The only area that doesn't work for yet is Ft. Leavesworth, as that was a very extended visit. I thought about putting a purple dot, or a purple X (roman for ten), or some such, and then decided it didn't matter as it was a rare event.

Or eventually, deal with it via the map notes I haven't quite figured out how to show yet.
