The Congress of Swine

 

this was the first iteration of nutmeg pass

 
initially, what would become The Congress of Swine was just a fun collection of words i came up with when i decided to include Rosa Bonheur's painting of wild boars in the snow while constructing my first map of Nutmeg Pass, using this sort of voronoi-esque hexmap. it sort of stuck with me, so i thought, what better way to follow up my cairn dungeon (see Caspar David Friedrich's painting also included above), than playing around with these mysterious swine.

The Cairn

 i am stuck in minnesota after a scuffle with the snow. meaning i have a lot of time on my hands. as such i completed a proof-of concept for my foray into the dungeon23 lifestyle. this is a work in progress, so the layout is only a start and it is still incomplete. final edition will take place at some point, but i feel good having made something of substance out of what was only an idea bouncing around the back of my head.

Solstice Dungeon - a work in progress

 as my hobonichi came early and had weeks starting this december, i thought maybe i would start early during the week of the winter solstice, the true new year. seeing as my theme for dungeons23 is seasonal, it felt appropriate to start at the very beginning of winter. to mark the solstice, here is what I have put together thus far.
