At the start of the year I was pleasantly surprised that my fantasy RPG Twitter account, @PSJMaps had reached 500 followers. People were enjoying my hand-drawn fantasy maps and my general RPG ramblings I was posting. TL>DR: Jump down and read how to enter. The competition is now closed. Two fabulous winners will now be … Read more
It’s quite flattering that I get asked relatively frequently what pens, paper or other equipment I use to draw my RPG maps. I didn’t ever think I’d be in a place to make suggestions on ‘art supplies’, but then I never thought people would like to see my D&D maps. Below are the majority of … Read more
