So, I thought this might prove somewhat interesting to all
the #Jadepunk players out there. Earlier
this week I posted the pitch I used to talk my players into my
Jadepunk/Mistborn hybrid, and this Thursday we got together to discuss
characters and play a little campaign mapping mini-game that I wrote that helps
us get buy-in to our new games.
Linked is a PDF of the output from that mini-game.
To make it easier to read: the gray circles are my players.
All other circles are people or organizations (fill colors don't mean anything,
it just makes it easier for us to tell different types apart). Squares are
places. Diamonds are campaign concepts we want to explore. Triangle are objects
or things players own/want to work toward.
Size and position are important. The bigger something is,
the more important the placing player wants it to be. The closer it is to
something else, the more closely they are related.
The green and red circle round a shape indicate details and
traits players have added to each campaign element. Green indicates a possible
asset to be used/acquired in play, red is a complication or plot hook. The text
guides you as to the placing player's intention, and serves to inspire the
Aspects related to that element.
That's about it. There'a a whole mini-game to figure out who
gets to place what, since I find that limitations give guidance and breed
inspiration, but that's far too long and unrelated to go into here. I just
wanted those who cared to have an idea how to read the map, as it defines the
starting point of our campaign.
