My players won't stop sniffing the paper

You don't even need to use soy sauce, the effect comes not from the stain in the liquid, but rather the sugar in the sauce burning off. I dissolve a teaspoon of sugar in hot water, paint that on and then pop it under the grill until it just starts to brown. Lovely results!

a fresh pencil eraser... in this economy?

I think the biggest pro tip here was "throw some dice".
I've many times felt the overwhelming weight of my lack of creativity as I've stared at a blank page wondering where to start.
The idea to just throw dice and let them decide much in the way that they "tell a story" when we play is an excellent idea!
This is the core of D&D and I love it!

Nice work! Btw, let me know if you need any props 3D printed. I’ve got ya covered, brother.

But... is this going to make my players hungry for Chinese takeout whenever we play, Bob? What kind of residual smell factors are we talking about here?

First?? And map making collab in the future? I'd like to kick it up a notch to make it like the goodies pirate map ❤

Bob: world builder, brewer (as in dnd home*brewer*), rpg parody musician, dice artificer and now cartographer. Is there anything he can't do?

One question though. Does it smell like soy sauce now? :)

I remember for a school project back in middle school I wanted to make a thing on really old looking paper. My mom just took the paper, squirted lemon juice on it, and put it in the oven. It actually looked great and this reminded me of that project. This makes me want to experiment with other kinds of staining.

I really like this, but do they not smell like soy sauce as you hand them to your players or does the smell go away?

Fantastic video! Dungeonscrawl is awesome. I whipped a map up really fast using your method but for some mysterious reason the whole table wanted to order Chinese after getting the map.

A note on incomplete maps: if you've ever played the old Thief games, you'll remember that although the levels are sprawling and complex, the maps you get aforehand are simply a few scrawled lines outlining only the most basic information (if you get a map at all). So, to keep things fresh, supply your players with an inaccurate, incomplete map and only reveal the actual dungeon layout bit by bit when they reach something they weren't expecting!

I have 0 art ability (or interest) but Bob's brief summary make me think I could almost make a small world map.
But whole vid was great stuff.

I've been using ChatGPT heavily for descriptions, both location and characters. It has a good understanding of what is in 5e and can spit out a few paragraphs based on a few words. I always end up finessing the description a bit, but it makes some of the more mundane description parts easy. Controversial, but maybe time for a video on AI in the TTRPG space?

Love this “how to”! Thank you as always for the fun and useful content Bob. 😸

For a dungeon I recently designed, I had chatgpt generate three riddles and a prophesy. I told it the answers to the riddles and how many words to use. It generated nice little rhyming riddles that were correct and close to the word count. For the prophecy, I told it what the prophesy was about. The result was suitably vague and obscure. It did add an upbeat twist to what was supposed to be prophesy of doom. Overall not bad.
