My super advanced mapmaking technique – a handful of dice makes the map nice

interesting method

My question is do the die affect topography any or just set the borders?

I imagine it’s up to the person making the map. But maybe the more dice in a single spot, the more mountainous or forested the area. Maybe choose a few dice to be deemed cities, and some dice for ruins.

Maybe let the dice choose, like a nat 20 would be the world capital, and 10’s would be mountains or something like that.

1-5: Plains and fields

6-8: Forests

9-11: Mountains

12-14: Tundras and snow covered lands

15-17: Farms and towns

18-19: Larger cities

20: Capitals and castles

what would happing if all the dice landed on a 20?

then you have a very busy continent

not all of those are d20s though, so you’d have to come up with another method for the other ones

Adjusted for all dice you might have

D20

1-5: Plains and fields

6-8: Forests

9-11: Mountains

12-14: Tundras and snow covered lands

15-17: Farms and towns

18-19: Larger cities

20: Capitals and castles

D12

1-3: Plains and fields

4-6: Forests

7-8: Mountains

9-10: Tundras and snow covered lands

11: Farms and towns

12: Larger cities

D10

1-3: Plains and fields

4-6: Forests

7-8: Mountains

9: Tundras and snow covered lands

10: Farms and towns

D8

1-4: Plains and fields

5-6: Forests

7: Mountains

8: Tundras and snow covered lands

D6

1-3: Plains and fields

4: Forests

5-6: Mountains

D4

1-2: Plains and fields

3: Forests

4: Mountains

Holy shit. Definitely using this.

free software alternatives

i never stop talking about some of these so i might as well banish them to a single post! you might know about a lot of them already, but feel free to look anyway

freeware can be a great opportunity to get a feel for something and learn a new skill. and in some cases, the free versions are almost as powerful, so you might find that you saved a lot of money but made work that was just about equal to what you might have done with paid software!

Note: I would suggest LibreOffice over OpenOffice, because LibreOffice is still being updated!

i didn’t even realize openoffice was discontinued… now I feel old!! I’ll edit the original post!

Do You Hear The People Sing in various languages

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Do you hear the people sing
singing the song of angry men,
it is the music of a people
who will not be slaves again,
when the beating of your heart,
echoes the beating of a drum,
there is a life about to start when tomorrow comes

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
A la volonté du people,
et à la santé du progress

🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Das ist die Symphonie von Menschen,
die nicht länger Sklaven sind!

🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
新たに熱い命が始まる
(arata ni atsui inochi ga hajimaru)
明日が来た時そうさ明日が
(asu ga kita toki sou sa asu ga)

🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
Állsz-e mellénk, hogyha kell,
Kiállsz-e értünk s harcunkért?

🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
I från vår barrikad
Så kan man se ett framtidsland
Så kom med och slåss
Du ska kämpa med oss om du kan

🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Wytęż słuch to śpiewa lud
Co nie chce żyć w niewoli znów

🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Van al die mensen die verdommen om nog langer slaaf te zijn

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
When the beating of your heart,
echoes the beating of the drums,
there is a life about to start when tomorrow comes.

🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹
Wenn du kämpfst mit ganzer Kraft,
hat bald ein Ende alle Not.

🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Some will fall and some will live,
will you stand up and take your chance,
the blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France

🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
Kan du høyre folkets song?
Det er ein song frå arge menn!

🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿
Chcem tady žít už máme bídy dost i běd i svévolí

🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Når de dumpe trommers bud svares af stærke hjerteslag
Da skal et bedre liv gå ud i den nye dag

🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Will you join in our crusade
who will be strong and stand with me

🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸
Þannig er söngur þeirra sem að
þrældóm aldrei vilja meir

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Do you hear the people sing,
say do you hear the distant drums,
it is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes

i really loved this part, not only because holy christ, one of my favourite musicals in my native language, but also because it’s sung in an older dialect of norwegian that i think is very important that norwegians learn, but sadly, the government are debating whether to remove it from the educational system:/

That’s really sad. I also loved that part because he sang it with such feeling that it gave me goosebumps. Now I’m thinking he also sang it with pride for his dialect. 

best things:
– irish abraham lincoln
– super short hungarian, super tall icelander
– canadian who looks like canada in one man
– american who isn’t at all fighting the stereotypes with his 7 chins
