Brazenthrone – The Old Quarter – Second Level
🕑 Added 2020-06-18 21:10:07 +0000 UTCMy computer finally died for good. I actually took it into a repair shop, which was a first for me. I'm usually the kind of geek who fixes his own computer. If it's a software problem, I can probably work it out. If it's a hardware problem on a desktop... maybe. But this was a hardware problem on a laptop, which put it ALL the way out of my league.
Turns out there was a short on the motherboard and, since my computer was an unusual make, it couldn't be replaced. But I happened to have the money for another computer, so everything's fine. The new one's a desktop, though, which is taking me some time to get used to after around 12 years of laptops. Like, this keyboard is enormous and it makes so much noise when I type. And I have to keep this thing in the same place all the time? Sigh, fine.
On the other hand, I now have a monitor the size of a bus windshield, which is nice. I'd been meaning to get one for D&D anyway. I'm not installing it in a table or anything, but I think we're going to be using digital maps from now on.
So anyway, the map. There's one more level of the Old Quarter to go and I've got it drawn already, so I should have it done in a day or two. Talk to you then!

Yeah, me too. I lost a ton of stuff when my old computer's hard disk failed a year or so ago and I keep everything backed up externally now. I'd have lost the photoshop files for my first 50 maps if they hadn't been uploaded to patreon.

Awesome! I backup religiously having been burned several times. Glad to hear you're up and running...

Thanks, it actually wasn't that much of a problem. They put the SSD from my laptop into my new machine, so I haven't had to reinstall or change much of anything. Also, it had an SSD in it already, which means I now have a computer with two SSDs. This must be what it's like to be rich, haha.
