First in the Uncrowded Dreams series, hype-free adventuring materials with a DIY aesthetic.

This was a great read!! Love the Reflected Torments mirror room and the Hall of Losers skulls; another triumph for grimdank.

Uncrowded Dreams sounds very cool, is there any more info about the series anywhere? Is it just yourself or a collective?

Thanks for the comment! It's just me, and basically I publically mentioned it to hold myself to account and actually publish UD-2  and beyond.

Please advise what paper was used for the maps?

Hi Stuart - it's a pad of dotted Fabriano graph paper I stole from an office I worked at a few years back. I think Rhodia do some similar exercise books.

Thx! Both Fabriano and Rhodia are unknown to me seems to be some special quality paper? Nevertheless, I just wonder if it was a notebook or stack of separate pieces  and also what size if I may ask.

Fabriano are most well known for their artists/watercolour papers, but the pad in question isn't anything extra fancy. Likewise Rhodia basically make somewhat fancy looking notebooks/pads - not in the ridiculously lavish Moleskine bracket though.

The maps are drawn on A4 paper, and then the contrast on the pencil was tweaked a little bit in Photoshop.
