Some maps & artwork from my campaign.

You need to do more of them... I really like them. Eventually, I'm going to print them out so I always have a quick battlemap/tile if my PCs enter some generic houses!

Cheers, LT.

Yeah, that's on the to-do list ...it's just that right now, I'm going through a bit of a miniatures painting fad - so that's keeping me busy

However, I do plan on working on a new town map soon - and when I draw out these settlements I usually have an idea (at least a sketch) of what the interior of each building looks like ...just 'cause I'm kinda strange like that.

So new ones are forthcoming - as the idea behind the new map would be to actually cross-reference each building this time with a corresponding interior layout (of this style). I know that sounds like a tall order, but a lot of regular houses would be of a similar shape and size - and thus, one interior map could cover dozens within the town itself.

In fact , you can see I did something similar with the following village (which I posted some time back):

...and if you look carefully you will see that most of the buildings shown there can be represented by the layouts shown on the following pages of my website:

Wow! ...I can't believe it's been so long since I added to this thread... so I guess it's time for some minor thread necromancy

First off, I have redone some of the shield designs I posted previously as I wasn't 100% happy with them. Hopefully these new ones look a little better:



I've also been tinkering with a new style of settlement map... basically a kind of mix between the full colour ones and the parchment style ones that I've done previously.


Overall, I'm quite happy with it

Glad to see you back, Kris! Excellent stuff, as always.

Here's a few more shield designs that I've been playing around with recently:

Unlike the other things I've posted here, I don't know if I'll actually use these designs in any games I might run in the future, but I kinda like drawing this kind of stuff anyway, and so I thought I'd post the link - as it may be of use to someone else

A real mixed bag of stuff this time around.

First up, a map I did in a quick and dirty method. It is for a Burning Wheel solo game that I'm in with Judd aka Paka. Scanned pencils for most of the geographical features. Lettering done in Photoshop with the Dragonbones font from Blambot. The coloring done in Painter, primarily with a "wet oil" brush... which gives it a bit of funky texture which I like, then the wet blender tool to mush stuff around a bit, like in the hills, mtns. Hope you like.

Here is the link to Blambot. Has wonderful fonts. I've even bought a couple.

Blambot Comic Fonts and Lettering

Then, here is Judd's b-day present. Pencils that I'm giving to him, but I'm gonna work this up as a sample. This is from an incident in our Saturday D&D game, with Melech the Red there backstabbing a green dragon to great effect. I'm told. I wasn't there, darn it. (Actually, I was having a wonderful time visiting Millie's daughter Anaiis in PA with Millie)

I am going to try and keep track of the interim steps and post them as I get them done on this project. Although, since it is a for-me project, it is not a higher priority.



And lastly, another superhero, this time another character from RDU, The Silencer. A PC that I don't *think* I ever played with. The player Geoff was in a different group than mine at that time. RDU Neil ran multiple groups and we all kinda mixed and matched as needed for logistics, schedules and campaign compatibility. Now, I am in an online game with Geoff's Speedball as part of the Mavericks.
