#delve

By Anna Blackwell

DELVE: A Solo Map Drawing Game is a map drawing game that puts you in control of a dwarven hold as you discover the horrors that lurk below. The zine has everything you need to generate natural formations, forgotten ruins, enemies, wyrd magics, and ancient monstrosities. It has a simple turn-based combat system, rules for building your hold and optional challenges for a harder experience.

Inspired by games like Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon Keeper, DELVE aims to capture that feeling of building and protecting a fortress in an unforgiving subterranean world.

All you need to play is, a pencil, paper (preferably 1" grid), and a deck of playing cards.

Full cloth binding with paper onlay (Bradel binding)

Down the center is my masterfully rendered spiral staircase. On the left are my kitchen and my barracks. On the right is the abandoned mine that I accidentally broke into! I decided that this mine runs along the Y and Z axes, instead of the X and Y axes, and so I'm only able to encounter it at this slice.

“Please hurry, all the blood in my body is now in my head. I feel like I'm going to pop..”

Found one of the places the waterfalls in the Water Dancer Nereid furnishing pack come from :3

Desert Wind Adeptorium - Northern Elsweyr delve

I hadn't guessed it was Elsweyr! I thought the stones were much lighter, like High Isle limestone. But it's possible the same model is there too, in a recolored version. Can't tell in the dark, anyway.

I love all these portals, too. Wish we could have these effects, as well as the isolated vfx from the Solstice quest door, Night Market, and Coldharbour door. #eso housing wishlist
