Recipe:

  1. Burn the corners off of one sheet of paper with a lighter. I used A4, but I’m sure US Letter works too.
  2. Crumple it some and then straighten it out.
  3. Make some black coffee, any temperature and pour it into something that can fit the paper laying flat
  4. Bathe the paper until properly stained (or to taste, I guess)
  5. Roast the paper on 100 degrees C for 30 minutes with the convector fan running

The result is a perfect “treasure map” for use as a D&D prop during tonight’s session with my kids.

    That’s fantastic! Great idea just jumping in and letting the gameplay decide their roles! My 11 year old seems interested. I better start getting at it before she outgrows me!
