# Welcome!

This for my _Play By Post_ with Brad Kerrs patreon setting [These Sorcerous Lands](https://www.patreon.com/BradKerr/posts/these-sorcerous-160731099).

Did a [bluesky posts](https://bsky.app/profile/tonytranrpg.bsky.social/post/3mwezbymyms2c) on this - though I think putting it into **forum posts** would be **cool**. + it’s my bucket list to return here with something … _post worthy_.

I’ve not done this report kinda thing before so… just going by what I think… I’d read? and hopefully it’s something _useful / entertaining_ for others

* * *

## The Setup

**Discord** = Out of Character Chat - _One channel_  
Then, I broke into smaller threads (All set to **1 week before** it gets hidden from the sidebar; kind of annoying but … makes sense…)

_The threads:_

- **In-player** (The thinking is to separate it into per week,before we do a new thread)
- **Lore** - Anything player facing
- **Characters** - Players post their sheets here for reference and descriptors (this is new as, I’m doing some OC art for them)
- **Map** - Player facing images / map

 ![Discord Channel setup example](https://discourse.rpgcauldron.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5cab11d42a8f92e72426a7cd239d6762a7b0eda8.png)

Oh, forgot about attaching images; oh well. _see above_  
**Alpha** prefixes for any informational things.  
Then **Numerics** to keep track of sessions.

Now… I did a new addtion to the setup, where I added **Figma**  
I really needed a whiteboard type thing happening; as this is how my brain works to sort things out and orientate to TTRPG worlds / information.

I thought about was the whole **Hex map.** - sort of a disservice if it wasn’t previewed to players… right? never ran one; so I don’t know if this is just handed out or _fog-of-war_ piece meal.

Since this is really a Hex Crawl setting - I needed a quick way to update and reference as the players moved - but it needed to be easy enough for me to add + share with the group.

**So Figma Jam enters the chat.**

This allows me also add my OC art for the group + a quick way to remind myself visually - where we are at in the game.

The Hex map is more for the players (_and me_) - not characters. As I am making a illustrated map as they move:

Also doing some Snapshot Art as they progress in the world:

Will post in social media etc etc, but def’ will run it into the forum first to get my words right. (_In theory_)

I’ll update this post again soon - I just have to attend something… brb.
