Dungeon23: The Beginning

Like many in our online tabletop community, I’m taking part in Dungeon23 this year. In my case, I’m doing a hex map of “The Swamp of the Great Honker.” I’ll be doing regular (not daily) posts about my work to share how things are going.

This week, I got started by sketching out my hex map and filling in the first hex, the entrance to a canal that cuts through the swamp. It’s guarded by some Mudwoggers, the native inhabitants of the swamp who sometimes work for the canal.

Hex #1: Entrance to the “Royal Canal,” a wide canal carved through the swamp to connect the coastal cities to the capitol. Protected by patrol boats. Entrance has a small guard house staffed by “Mudwoggers,” the original inhabitants of the swamp who sometimes choose to work for the canal.

From here I’ll be continuing each day by filling in new hexes, adding details about inhabitants, like the Mudwoggers, and breaking out into dungeons and other locations in more detail when they appear.

I hope you’ll follow along as this swamp grows over the year.
