Going the Grid. Way back when, at the dawn of time almost a nifty rpg called Traveler was out & about came in small black books. There was a section called worlds & adventures, it went on to include some forms ect. One of which was a really basic form allowing you to create a sub-sector, of a star system. I borrowed this idea and used it to grid up my campaign. Starting small is simple as this forces you to work within the confines of the small sub-sector. I use very simple symbols like that of the old traveler. Mainly because I can't draw well & its really easy to understand what you did 3 month later when you heros decide they may want to explore in this section. Nice advice, also use this, blog.

I've been quiet the last few days. Not recuperating from jet-lag though. That was more recuperating from having too much fun! Thanks for the kind words.

Glad you recuperated from Jet Lagged. I've found that starting small helps a lot, like you say. Also, I like to let the players build the shared world by using their choices, character classes and backstories. Good stuff man! Hey Yax! Glad you recuperated from Jet Lagged.
