Students could feel the caves heading to a dungeon, be tempted to cross the ocean rather than pass through an inhabited land, or take the mountain pass instead of the glacier.Įven if it doesn’t pan out this is a super fun thing to play with and I hope you all have a chance to check it out! A visual representation, possible painted and labeled, with the size and scale of the 2D map might make for some interesting game play dynamics. My printer will print a maximum size of about 140mm but I can upload the map to some CAD programs and create chunks that I can the join together so a decent sized 3D map is a possibility. And this means that with just the basic downloaded model I was able to quickly 3D print the fantasy map in just over 6 hours in high detail!


That means that the map can be uploaded to CAD programs and other 3D modeling software. What is more interesting is that the 3D map can also be downloaded as a 3D. The latest version of the website offers not only the standard map which is EXTREMELY detailed and makes fantastic 2D posters but it now also offers a “glode” AND 3D mapping. I checked in with the website for an idea I had for next year and immediately lost 2 hours after school The site has layers upon layers of customization possibilities. I warn you this website is a time vampire so enter carefully. The map was created using the Azgaar Fantasy Map Generator. One of my favorite pieces of the game though was the giant 8×6 foot game board on the wall. I ended up adjusting in the 2nd half of the year just as the actual COVID Pandemic was hitting. I had envisioned each of my 6 classes working together to defeat the time zombies but after a month or so the students stopped playing the way I had envisioned mostly because it was too complex and communication was too difficult.

The game worked well from individual class review but the inter-class collaboration fell flat. A couple years ago I had developed a big Pandemic board game style inspired classroom game called Echoes of the Past.
