Having been bit quite hard by the hyperfocus bug, here's my next mapmaking update.

On a totally unrelated note, I tend to listen to sound mixes (either ambient or brown noise), both at work and when working on a project like this. I tend to find it hard to focus when I listen to music, and I have to work in an open office at work (boo). I really like the mixes on this site: https://mynoise.net/--the guy who hosts it is pretty obsessive about going out and recording sounds for it, so the quality is a lot better than the ambient stuff you get on YouTube. My two favorite mixes right now are Glacier Chorus (for the sort of deep water noises) and Irish Coast both for the low undertone and the fact that it works pretty well to drown out ambient noise in the office. (Today's map work was done to the Medieval Village mix, but with the bells turned off.)

My last campaign went on indefinite hiatus due to a player having a kid (which--fair!), but I hadn't been inspired for what I wanted to do next for some time. My last campaign had a lot of deep worldbuilding and lore, and while I'll definitely revisit it in the future, I haven't been feeling inspired to go back to it yet, and nothing else had quite caught my attention.
