Got some map work done. I'm pretty pleased about that
What's it got in its pocketses?!?
I'm guessing the Adobe you spoke of installing is Photoshop? I've heard a lot of folks like to use that for maps. On those rare occasions when I do like to make a map, I use Campaign Cartographer.
Although, in a pinch, I can make a map in Powerpoint.
Or with crayons.

Yup Photoshop. Army trained. I like to stick with the program I know.

I use Photoshop for my Kingmaker campaign. The map is blacked out and the PCs reveal it more and more as they explore hexes, run spy missions and establish embassies. It's been a lifesaver as I'm able to build all the natural resources, armies, cities, roads, farms, etc. on different layers. It also looks like a map from Civilization but I'm okay with that. :)

Yeah, that's kind of why I first picked up on CC and liked it: in certain ways it's very similar to AutoCAD and some other drafting programs I'd used.

One of the guys I used to game with in Philly had software that could black out sections of the dungeon and reveal it as we explored. He'd project it down onto the table for us. Not sure what the software was though.

Loam is soil composed mostly of sand (particle size > 63 µm), silt (particle size > 2 µm), and a smaller amount of clay (particle size < 2 µm). Its composition is about 40%-40%-20% concentration of sand-silt-clay, respectively.[1] These proportions can vary to a degree, however, and result in different types of loam soils: sandy loam, silty loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, and loam. In the USDA textural classification triangle, the only soil that is not predominantly sand, silt, or clay is called "loam". Loam soils generally contain more nutrients, moisture, and humus than sandy soils, have better drainage and infiltration of water and air than silty soils, and are easier to till than clay soils. The different types of loam soils each have slightly different characteristics, with some draining liquids more efficiently than others. For food production, a loam soil containing a small amount of organic material is considered ideal. The mineral in a loam soil ideally is about 40% sand, 40% silt and 20% clay by weight. The soil's texture, especially its ability to retain nutrients and water are crucial.
Bricks made of loam, mud, sand, and water, with an added binding material such as rice husks or straw, have been used in construction since ancient times.

The math adds up? How can the average be greater than ALL of the values? o_O
And this is Fitbit on sensitive mode. On normal mode, you could probably double those numbers. I figure reality is somewhere in between. And I'm not getting good sleep. I go to bed late, sleep poorly, and my stupid mutt wakes me up at dawn. That's why I like winter - dawn at like 10:30 a.m. rules.
As for the 2:30, that's what I get for drinking a liter of Diet Coke at 11 pm. :/

I should say, the math on MINE adds up
