So play continued, but working from a built world definitely slowed things down for me, along with life and work distractions. (For me games are faster when I just have the world created as I play.) But the thrill of your game exciting you, making you imagine all the possibilities is super awesome.
54 pages of drawings and notes so far, an ending full of possibilities, and excitement to try new game techniques.

This is where an issue arrives using the #city23jan entries, I play on the go and traveling with an extra sketchbook of drawings can really make my messenger bag heavy. Paper be heavy.
I printed a page thumbnails and a map of where everything was in the City of 'BellStorm', but referencing the details was lacking. Loading them on my phone is distracting.
I also chose to not re-draw the locations again.

...the campaign continued with my usual random tables of scene prompts and progress tracking and stuff.
'Mark' had a run-in with a large delivery man, got forced to help with a delivery to the richest person in the city, use trickery and discovered mystery. All the while he has a reservation to a fancy restaurant, the reason for his vacation.

After setting up my #sketchbooksolorpg journal, I establish the reason my character was in the city with custom tables (on vacation, first time visitor) I also rolled for a location and got a building with multiple businesses. I rolled to pick which business the character was visiting and it ended up being one that was just "business".
Mark now was visiting a friend who maybe was a bit shady.
Just finished the first 'chapter' of my current #sketchbooksolorpg game and wanted to reflect on the experience. (#city23jan)
In Jan I did one month of the #city23 #dailydrawings challenge. In Feb I set-up my sketchbook and made a character based on a random location.
I played 'Mark Raker' a middle age man who is a bit of a trickster. He's on vacation in the city of 'Bellstorm' with one goal, to try the famous sea food at a well known restaurant.

One thing I really like about playing #solorpg is it scratches the #worldbuilding itch.
In the past I have comic projects that never went anywhere since I spent so much effort in the world building.
Oddly enough, when I play a campaign I usually develop details as I play with only a basic structure to start.
My game based on my #city23 prompts from last month (Jan 23) is a very different experience. #city23jan
Maybe I can learn from my games to be better at making a comics and stories.

This week the #city23 worldbuilding #drawing prompt: Jan 9-31 Overview and Layout
No.29 - These last three drawings are adding things that I did not draw from prompts that I felt needed to be there. Here is the non-consortium area for processing giant sea creatures. This is the docs for everyone else in the city with a boat.

This week the #city23 worldbuilding #drawing prompt: Jan 22-28 Everyday - bank + forgotten + visitor friendly
No.28 - The bank looks impressive and sturdy. Would you have to break in or gain access through connections or trickery?
Only 3 more to go!
