TimMaidment.ComTrying a new game: Cartograph
I picked up a new game recently that inspires creative writing and a spirit of exploration of new lands - here's how my first session wenthttps://timmaidment.com/2026/06/02/trying-a-new-game-cartograph/
Cornelius FlynnBought the rules for a new game which looks interesting. Solo RPG map creation game.
Unfortunately, couldn’t find a physical copy here so paid for the PDF and will print it off and bind it later. You simply need paper, a pencil, a deck of playing cards and three different colours of d6.
Always loved maps - should have fun with this.
Pretty sure I can work some miniatures into it too… 😂

theMimicI just finished my first let’s play of the #soloRPG #Cartograph.
The game offers prompts to build a map as a PJ explores the world and writes a diary of its adventures. At first unknown and empty, the world comes to life in the journal, entries after entries.
I explored a continent marked by a curse, met humanoid amphibians that breed birds, pierced the secret of the treefolks and joined a secret cult that protects the continent.

Je viens de finir mon premier let’s play du #soloJdR #Cartograph.
Le jeu propose des prompts pour construire une carte en même temps qu’un PJ l’explore et écrit un journal de ses aventures. D’abord inconnu et vierge, le monde prend vie dans le journal, entrées après entrées.
J’ai ainsi exploré un continent marqué par une malédiction, rencontré des amphibiens humanoïdes éleveurs d’oiseaux, percé le secret des sylvestres et rejoint un culte secret qui protège le continent.

ckeenPlayed my first game of #Cartograph Atlas Edition (https://the-ravensridge-press.itch.io/cartograph-atlas-edition) after I got the book.
It was a delight and now I got a new map of an island I knew nothing about before....
It was also my first solo #ttrpg attempt and I found it quite rewarding. Will definitely play again soon.
Nigel HawtinWas amazing to be able to spend some time looking at Fra Mauro’s #cartograph y masterpiece Musei Correr #venice #mapmaking #graphics #scicomm
