2021 Plans

The past three years have been a whirlwind of projects and "just for now" fixes (which has sadly been mostly my website up until it's revamp, which is why I needed it so desperately). It's been crazy managing the map queue, commercial work, and projects that would get my name out there. Not to mention the website, product creation, advertising, bookkeeping, events, Discord, and all the other endless things that go into running this type of business. 

However, I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you of my plans for this year. I've got a lot of them and I can't do any of them without you! So here's what's happening (in order of how I hope to do them):

• Get all my previously created maps broken down into map packs for virtual tabletops.
• Write up the lore & info for the Wandering Mistress, a patron for cartographers.
• Update and offer as download, Rue the Cartographer's character sheet for you to use in your games.
• Clean up and/or redraw all my previously created illustrations.
• Put said illustrations for download on my website as VTT map addons (still free to Treasure Hunters & up).
• Clean up and/or redraw all my previously created tavern signs.
• Put said tavern signs on my website for download (still free to Treasure Hunters & up).
• Create maps for each tavern.
• Draw a new Skyrim map for the 10 yr anniversary (and hopefully get Bethesda to notice).
• Update the cartography class on my website to make it just that much easier to follow (free for Surveyors & up).
• Add my full world building tutorials to my website.  I have quite a few helpful articles & videos that'll help get through world building a planet much easier (free for Surveyors & up).
• Add aging paper, wax seal making, and Photoshop font making tutorials to the website (free for Surveyors & up). 
• Draw a new Middle Earth map
• Draw a new Outlander map
• Draw a new Neverlands map
• Draw a new Avalon map
• Add my cartography photography to the website & for sale on products.
• Start updating & working on building the Magisterial Society for Scriveners & Cartographers as well as Rue Adventuring Company sites. These will involve YOU as patrons and might be a bit more work intensive so I've got it on the bottom of the list for when I will have more time.

I do have more I want to do but honestly, I'm going to be surprised if I can get through half of that list this year. I'm optimistic though! I do plan on having a few new maps drawn this year as well so don't worry about that. It's just for 3 years I sort of slapped everything on Patreon or my website and it really shows. I need the time to sort through it, redraw what needs it, clean up files that I scanned and tossed on the site, etc. 

So those are my plans!  What are you most looking forward to?
