I think my best bet is something designed for horror/zombie games, as they would have the kind of art assets I need for the RPG supplement. As a reminder: it doesn’t need to be complex, but I should be able to explicitly use it for commercial purposes. I have looked at the ones mentioned last time, but unfortunately they seem fantasy-only. I do need fantasy assets, but I also need post-apocalyptic ones. I seem to be in a niche! Yay.

A map for BANSHEE BEACH!
It’s very important to have a map for this stuff, so that you know where everything is. Therefore: behold! A very crude map of Red Beach, jeweled resort of the northern Gulf of California! Don’t worry, I’ll have somebody competent make the real one.
Also, funny story: today was the day that I realized that I know virtually nothing about surfing. After careful consideration, I have decided to handle this problem in the time-honored pulp tradition of not giving a damn.
Needed: fantasy city map for FROZEN DREAMS. Paying gig.
Since the FROZEN DREAMS Kickstarter stretch goal funded, I need a city map for a fantasy book. Details as follows:

First referenced back in the day, but the Twitter account that I used for the image is now protected. So, I might as well put it up again.
The SPECIFIC reason why you’re a dolt if you wept smug tears over that fake Native American nations map.
My buddy and colleague Caleb Howe did a very nice job on dismantling the dolts who can’t tell an alternate history map of hypothetical Native American tribes in the modern day with an actual map of pre-Columbian Native American nations:
You want to complain about education? Here is my complaint: we don’t teach attention to detail or critical thinking. People accept as true something that confirms the beliefs they already bitterly cling to. So this work of fiction becomes an indictment of the racist nature of education in America because some people never saw it and, once they did, just accepted as true a premise that comes from … well who knows? As I said, the date is literally directly on it.

Without attribution, but that’s my own damn fault: I didn’t slap my website info on the thing. So there was no way that either Tor.com nor Thom Dunn could know where it came from, but I’m glad they enjoyed it. And, besides…

Looking at the current 2014 Senate map.
Put a gun to my head, as of this moment this is what the Senate map looks like for us in November.
(Map via 270 To Win) Pickups in AK, AR, LA (hardest to pick up), MT, NC, SD, WV; we retain GA (close) and KY (not close). CO, IA (second-hardest to justify), MI, and now NH (hardest to justify, and I am indulging myself there) up for grabs. And I am still keeping an eye on Oregon. Conditions aren’t quite ripe, there, but it could be the sleeper of the season. Continue reading Looking at the current 2014 Senate map.

You can find one here: it’s fairly useful, if a bit basic.
Apparently some of our elected officials need the help. And by “our” I mean “the opposition party’s.” (See also AoSHQ for more).
