    I think the random dice method works great for caverns which in real life have no real rhyme or reason!
    Unrelated. What tips do you have for developing a world map? Not population centers; but things like continents, major bodies of water, islands, etc. Thank you for the great work!

      @@ZipperonDisney The closest example I can give off the top of my head is putting the party in a situation where there’s rock climbing. Where the terrain is literally or extremely close to being vertical. I wanted to build a map like this and see how combat would play out, since there’s movements, abilities, spells, or gear that actively allow for vertical combat, such as climbing speed, spider climbing, fly, climbing gear, etc.

      vis a vis expo brand wet erase makers. Cold water, then re-drawing over the marked section, cold water with a drop of high concentration detergent if that fails, then toothpaste if that fails. But cold water and elbow grease work best.
