NANY 2024 - Tools for New York City Detective Mystery Boardgame

(1/3) > >>

mouser:
I have embarked on a daunting project of creating a mystery tabletop game (similar to Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective), which is set in New York City in the 1930s.
It's a giant project that is likely to fail, but I'm going to make a go of it.
A big chunk of what I have to do is prepare game maps for the city, and a fascimile directory.
I've spent the last few weeks coding tools to help me manage real public domain New York City GIS/geospatial data.

So I think this year my NANY may be (Python) tools for working with this GIS data for generating game-related maps and data.

The maps look nice. I'm working my way through that thread.

I have done a little work with maps -- little and in a very limited way. Either getting a vector map & adding info; or occasionally using a scanned map, adding info; even drawing maps from scratch (i.e. "tracing" to create vector image - very time-consuming). I would then 'finalise' the map, adding colour if planned, generally making sure it looks good.

Ironically I'm no expert on preparing for publication, as this work would go to someone else who would check it and basically add it to a book.

I'll continue reading that thread and if I think I can help I'll get back to you. Likewise, if you think I can help, let me know!

A couple of maps here if you scroll down:
