If you’re trying to build a new world, something that can be a lot of fun for you (and also your players) is using a very familiar local map, exaggerating the reputations of suburbs, their inhabitants, and the surrounds. (“Here be dragons” indeed) This map, which was done a few years ago and did the rounds on Facebook, is the city I live in, and sharing that with players can be a great source of enjoyment for everyone, with a sly wink to modern life. If you’re worried about it being too obvious, flip it, or reverse the map, and stretch some portions out. You can do a lot with cheap graphics editing these days, and even more with paper and pencil, if you build the skill. It generally avoids having fantasy-trope places like The Shire... unless you’re from southern Sydney, anyway. So try it yourself- show us pictures of what you’ve been working on!
