    Some maps & artwork from my campaign.

    Here's a few more shield designs that I've been playing around with recently: http://www.enworld.org/CrookedStaffProductions/shields01.pdf 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...

    My Attempt at Painting a GW Balrog

    :) ...well it is the centre of the universe after all :lol:

    My Attempt at Painting a GW Balrog

    Looks great! I have to admit that I don't think I'd ever have the courage to try and paint something that large (hell ...I've only recently been brave enough to try my hand at a couple of mounted figures), so I kinda understand how daunting it must have been. You gotta be happy about the way...

    Getting into PDF seller dungeon tiles

    That is true enough. I'm not going to say that they are as good, as flexible, or as detailed as some of the stuff you can buy, but for folks thinking of just testing things out before jumping in with both feet, then they might be good to experiment with before parting with any cash. Some...

    Some maps & artwork from my campaign.

    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...

    Weather Generator?

    I made a table a while back for the main area in my campaign world... I think it was loosely based on something I saw in an old MERP sourcebook long ago. Most of the time I just used it as a general guide (just for consistency) - but I have also used it to determine one week/month from another...

    Asgard Magazine: Should it be Revived?

    I, for one, would like to see something like this return... even if it only came out once or twice a year. I would however prefer to see it cover both 3.0 and 3.5 if at all possible (I know there is not a great difference between the two - but I'd like to think that supplying 3.0 terminology or...

    Creating some new dungeon tiles

    And another little 'encounter area on a single page' type thing... (click on the image for a full size pdf) ...yeah, not much going on over Xmas for me this year ;)

    Bane? Alternative names for deities.

    No problem. Glad you found it useful. But in answer to your original question... if Bane were to exist in my campaign world - then he might be named Dagnir by the elves and Blárherra by the dwarves (or something like that anyway :) ).

    [CC3] jaerdaph's CC3 Maps, Dungeons, Floorplans etc...

    That looks pretty nice. The 'sheet effects' definitely adds a lot of depth to the image by adding bevelled edges and shadows and the like (which are the kind of things I use a lot in photoshop). And (please excuse my ignorance here) it certainly looks like these mapping programs have come a...

    Creating some new dungeon tiles

    But while I'm still thinking about the layout of the above tiles, here's a little something I've been experimenting with (basically trying to dirty-up the 'waterway' type of tiles to make a sewer encounter area): (Click on the image for a full size pdf)

    Creating some new dungeon tiles

    This is the idea I have for the layout of the next two modular dungeon tiles... ...it should give quite a bit of flexibility and allow rooms of 6x5 or 6x8 or 8x8 squares to be assembled (I think :) ).

    Mapping, tiles, boards, dungeons, cities

    :D ...so hopefully some of my comments haven't been totally useless. I just thought I'd offer up some of my own thoughts for your consideration, as (as you may have seen) I've had to comprimise the flexability of my own tiles in order to incorporate the walls into the design :(

    Mapping, tiles, boards, dungeons, cities

    Sorry, I think I've probably only managed to confuse matters by adding the pictures (instead of them better explaining what I mean) :( I was kinda using that picture as an example of what you might find in a module... and then you would have to try and recreate that with a paper battlemap...

    Mapping, tiles, boards, dungeons, cities

    :) That's OK, I'm not thinking about doing anything like this myself (as I'm happy doing what I already do - i.e. making any tiles I draw available on my website for free), I just did the above mock-up out of some of my existing stuff - just because I wanted to make sure I was understanding you...

    Mapping, tiles, boards, dungeons, cities

    I think I understand a little better now... basically something similar to the old GW floorplans, but done as cheaply as possible to make them somewhat disposable... e.g. you would have lots of duplicate sheets with a basic floor pattern (something like the 1st picture below) that you could cut...

    Bane? Alternative names for deities.

    I did something very similar to Lancelot for the core 3.0 gods ...and also kinda divided them into two opposing factions... so I have something like the following: Soldeus is more commonly known as the Sun God or the Shining One - though to the elves he is Anoraen and to the dwarves he is...

    Mapping, tiles, boards, dungeons, cities

    I figured I'd answer here, rather than in the other post :) So, are you basically talking about something very similar to the existing WotC dungeon tiles (with regard to passages and rooms - with 'dungeon dressing' tiles that you can place on top to change the look of the room) but printed on...

    Creating some new dungeon tiles

    :D ...maybe I should add a little more clutter down there, or maybe another skeleton or two. But in the meantime, this is what I've been busying myself with today... (Click on the image for a full size pdf)

    Creating some new dungeon tiles

    On the scenery front I've been playing around with a few things... though I still have a way to go before I've got enough to fill a whole page (or at least enough that I'm happy with :) ). I've started off with some fairly generic stuff (a pit, a pillar, a statue) - though I might need to go...
