Just finished the first session of this, with 2 players missing. They got to the temple, managed to kill Kalarel, using pretty much all of their dailies, and most of their encounters... and then the Avatar came thru the portal... Some good rolling and clever thinking from my son, managed to hit...

I'm running it on saturday, for a group of 6 level 4's, including one new player. It was originally going to be a group of 7, so I designed it so they could split into two groups and go in the two different entrances and meet in the big temple chamber. I've got official minis for all but the...

I wrote this adventure with 2 aims - 1. i had always planned to run keep of the shadowfell, but the mismatch of monsters, etc meant I didn't run it. Therefore one aim was to include Kalarel and his attempt to summon orcus. 2. To use cartophile 8 by skeleton key games. I really like the...

The counting blocks problem is reduced by the added option for left/right/ctrl clicking to put your item down, but i do like the idea. Undo is your best option. Clear block take everything out, so if you've misplaced a door its useless. Clear line doesn't work well, but I think thats more to...

I've never had mono work right, usually due to custom controls or registry calls. I do most of my development work on windows since thats what my clients use, but i'm on a linux netboox at home, so getting it running on linux is actually an aim of mine. Theoritically the vb6 version should run...

i've tried maptools and autorealm in the past and couldn't get on with them, and they are certainly better than this could be. I'm not trying to step on anyones toes with this, this was an ancient prototype, that I could quickly update and throw up here for free.

has anyone got any comments/suggestions? I've got a working prototype in vb.net, but it needs improving. The things i'm considering adding next: Curved walls (1x1,2x2 to begin with) Diagonal corridors Custom corridors (width, length) Custom stairs (width, length) Raised areas Double doors...

Version 3, vb6 version This has load/save (uses basic bitmaps) Undo (tools menu, or ctrl+z) Larger grid size Adding stairs with right mouse click draws them the opposite way (up/left rather than down/right) A kind of working clear line functionality

Maps...

Attached are some screenshots from a pipework program I work on. My eventual intention is to render the floors as a flat texture, stairs as a set of steps and doors/pillars in 3d

As an interim measure i've updated the vb6 version with: Stairs Custom Room size Corners Obstacle/feature Adding rooms can no be done top left (left click), top right (right click), bottom left (ctrl+left clieck), bottom right (ctrl+right click) I'm going to aim to update it again before the...

Cheers. I wrote that when I was learning vb2, so about 1993? I took a look at the code last night and was shocked at how clever some of my coding was and was also shocked to see how little some of my style has changed. For the updated version, i'm thinking of keeping the same basic premise of...

my 9 year old son plays a warlock in my campaign. when we started the campaign he said that one day he'd like to gm... well, this weekend, he wrote up his first adventure, a short delve like game with undead and other monsters. his initial attempts at drawing a map were terrible, and I...

I ended up buying a sample pack back in November, but didn't do anything with them due to moving offices. As part of the office move, I got a nice shiny new printer, a HP Officejet Pro k8600 (needed a3 printing ability...) After one of my twin girls decided to tear up and eat one of my paper...

Why? because thats the way half of my group has played it for the last 16 years. Why reward the killing blow? because its that moment of glory, that blagging right. we've found that its always helped focus the players in one of two ways, they either try and keep an enemy to themselves, or try...

I ran the adventure last night and it went very well. Started around 7:45 pm, finished around 11:45 pm. The party guessed that the dragonborn would probably be safe from any traps, so sent him into all the rooms first. The first encounter with the drakes was sllooowwww..... partly due to...
