I don't have a visual to share yet but I am currently working on a commission of a map that includes a permanent storm! There's a city in the eye of it.

Just in case anyone wants to learn more about that reference guide, AN AUTHOR'S GUIDE TO SETTING DESIGN: WORLDBUILDING & CARTOGRAPHY is out now in digital formats, coming soon in print. www.adamcbassett.com/setting-map-...

Yes but the alternative is not necessarily better lol. Things lurk out in the dark (because obviously they do).

Thanos snap (most of the time). 🫰

Thank you so much!

Book 2 is coming soon! I'm planning a cover reveal and more exciting stuff right now...

I genuinely had so much fun with that one, it was so different from my usual stuff lol.

2 Malls 2 Dead: Shop 'Till You Drop 💀🛍️

Thanks, Darby! Glad it worked so well for you. :) Write another, set in a new mall. I really enjoyed making that map and I fear I'll never have an excuse to do it again. :P

Maps shown in the main post are from... HE WHO ATE THE WILD by @gjterralwrites.bsky.social DEAD MALLS by @darbyharn.bsky.social THE WOLF IN THE LANTERN by @authoriseult.bsky.social ANIMUS PARADOX by Adam Bassett (me)

📕 Also, a full-color hardcover edition is coming later this year. You can pre-order from my shop (US), The Crafty Bookstore (US), or Imaginary Adventures Bookshop (US, Canada). adamcbassett.square.site

Congratulations! It looks great.

Well this was a lovely surprise lol. Thank you so much @grimoireinkreviews.bsky.social and Vivian! 😁

Oh, that's amazing, thanks so much for sharing that! If you'd like to hear about what's next in the series, I expect to drop some major news on that next month on the newsletter. No pressure of course but if you'e curious that's where it'll be. ;) adamcbassett.substack.com

It's because of a [book 2 spoiler] which expands things quite a bit. That's the same story event that made me want to write the book so I guess I always knew.

Oh two maps was the plan basically from the very beginning. I've had drafts of them since last year ready to be finalized.
