How to Design a Pointcrawl Map
Channel: Map Crow
Date: 2021-04-21

We talk about pointcrawls, points of light, and rhizomes and how it applies to designing maps for table top rpgs!  You just need some points of interest, transparency of choice, and some hooks to motivate your characters to traverse the map!

UPDATE: It appear that "Pointcrawl" was originally coined by Chris Kutalik here in 2012: http://hillcantons.blogspot.com/2012/01/crawling-without-hexes-pointcrawl.html
