Dungeon 23 – Lord Howe Island HexKit HexMap

Or as the more egotistical mad scientist might call it ‘Ruby Base’. This is at about 1km scale hex. The island is approximately 2 standard ‘day travel’ wilderness hexes N-S. Volcanic terrain of course making that part somewhat tougher.

Dungeon23 – Maps and 3D Models

Lord Howe Island 3m merged DEM

I made a repository for these – or at least the lower resolution variety in the case of the DEMs.

Jupyter notebook here re: merging tiles for the high resolution DEM. Not got around to the point clouds as yet – and this may do for game purposes anyway.

Trying this out as a xmas present to me, to make it better you can get an Android app.

Gadgetbridge https://f-droid.org/packages/nodomain.freeyourgadget.gadgetbridge/

You get this by downloading the apk for f-droid and installing when then gives you access from this repository to lots of apps including Gadgetbridge.

Good points so far – got watch, put it in to charge, it just worked on a simple MagnaCharger type base.

Very good points $26.99 USD and chargers are $4.99.

Compared to screwing around setting up Fitbits – which takes a long time and usually multiple attempts – of which the build quality seems to get worse and worse as the prices climb ever higher – and the last one only managed 3 months. Even if these a bit flaky an order of magnitude cheaper.

So can count steps again. Saw these mentioned on mastodon, so very handy.

They also make a phone, so tempted to try that.

Dungeon23 – Mokuy hex map Australia – version 1

Not actually called Australia circa 1830 of course, but for reference.

A few different terrain types I think:

  • Coastal
  • Mountain
  • Desert
  • Rainforest
  • Heavy Bush
  • Bush
  • Alluvial
  • Grassland
  • Volcanic – for Lord Howe Island, or as the more egotistical residents like to term it, Ruby Base
  • Pine – for venturing to Norfolk Island

    Version with coordinates to come

    Dungeon23 – The Land Pirahnas of Lord Howe Island

    In 2044, wallabies have mutated to have the personality and dentition of sharks and “land pirahna is a colloquial term.

    Lord Howe Island was discovered in 1788. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Howe_Island

    The Doctors Ruby have taken advantage of this wildlife mutation to import and breed them to roam the island. Not good for the local fauna, but they soon deal with any unsuspecting visitors in an environmentally friendly manner.

    Land Pirahnas are particularly good at detecting methane.

    First thoughts:

    AC 12, HD 2, Bite: 2d4, Kick: 1d4, Tail:1d3

    Can use claws for minor effect or tails like cudgels if wanting to leap away, which is not very likely in a kill frenzy. Add morale modifiers for that.
