The Dungeon of the Day (TDotD)
Goal: $500
About this project
I think the world needs more dungeons! I will create and publish one nice looking dungeon every day – seven days a week! How long will I do this? As long as YOU decide! The more support I get on the Kickstarter the longer I will post maps – I will start at 101 maps!
33 years ago
I started making RPG maps as soon as I started playing RPG games – I stole some squared pieces of paper from my dads work and drew big maps which I filled with hundreds of monsters! This was 1981 and I was 10 years old. Later when I strated to work with graphic design I soon realized that I could use the computer as a great tool to make maps!
Development
Before even making the first of these dungeon maps I have spent hundreds of hours during several years developing a unique and effecient workflow. This means I can put my time creating exciting dungeons instead of battling technical difficulties. I am using Adobe Illustrator to make the maps – with some aid of Photoshop and Adobe InDesign.
Variation of maps
I will make a variety of maps – many dungeon maps but also, castles, mines, houses, severs, dwarven cities. Most of the maps will be fully furnished with chairs, tables, rugs, torches etc. Each map will be fitted inte a regular 8.5 x 11 paper (roughly A4 size) so that you can easily print it. Some maps can also be connected to each other to form a larger map – while other maps will be smaller.
Maps – with ”The Sage” Skip Williams!
Most maps can be the base for your own adventures (hopefully with the aid of the furnishing) but we’ve convinced Skip Williams to write a scenario or two for us – if we reach stretch goals! See ”Stretch goals” below”.
Dungeon maps and battle maps
The maps will be posted on the brand new ”The Dungeon of the Day” Blog. All visitors of the blog can download the maps in low resolution. Backers will recieve higher quality maps in print resolution. Higher tier supporters will even get high resolution battle maps - suitable for printing and use with your miniatures!
Stretch goals
$1000 - More maps!
We will extent the map making blog marathon for one month (28 days) meaning every backer gets even MORE maps!
$1500 - Skip Williams will write us a scenario!
If we reach this goal the well known writer Skip Williams will write an exciting scenario for one of the maps. Skip Williams was one of the co-creators of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition and he was “The Sage” in Dragon magazine for a long time. He has also worked as a writer for many other RPG supplements (TSR and WotC etc.) and he is still a writer in the RPG industry.
How the funds will be used
Writers of the scenarios (see stretch goals) have to be paid. The programs I’m using (Photoshop , Illustrator and InDesign) cost money every month so I have to pay for them. I also pay for the web site and I need to update my computer pretty soon to handle the bigger and cooler maps I’m making. leftover money will go to stretch goals (I many really good ideas to realize!
Final words
Please support ”The Dungeon of the Day” and make this epic quest come true! Ask yourself: ”Got dungeons?”
Risks and challenges
I have been working s a professional graphic designer for over 20 years and have the skills and experience to fulfill this project. I have made RPG maps for almost that long as I can remember.
Apart from some serious hardware problems (and simultaneous back-up failures) I don’t think anything could seriously hinder the project.
