All the maps I create for my own products include all the various pixel resolutions (70 ppi for Roll20, 100 ppi for others), as well as various dimensions or sliced into appropriate dimensions, as I want to insure that my maps can be used in most any Virtual Tabletop application. That said, I...

Had a friend who was big-time into minitiatures gaming - mostly Warhammer 40K and Battletech. We did get him to play D&D once, but he wasn't a fan. We never played WH, but he did get us to play Battletech, which we ran for about 6 months. Because our friend was trying hard to get us to like the...

While a large part of my roleplay gaming involved D&D - I love playing roleplaying games, but not necessarily D&D, let alone 5e. Now I don't have an opinion about 5e actually, I've never looked at it. Because I develop and publish for Pathfinder/Starfinder, I try to stick with the rules I...

Homebrewing my own settings is the biggest draw for me as a GM, I love that kind of creative work. Games that are directly integrated with a defined setting never attracts me. I appreciate it when publishers of game systems provide an example setting using it's rules, but as a requirement to...

Consider the opposite. I have inklings of building a weird west setting, but instead of making an Old West like setting, I prefer to use 19th century Earth, which means the only race you could play is human. I want to incorporate real world history and historical figures, along side, myth...

While my art might just barely be good enough for cover art, as a small publisher who is also a professional illustrator, I would never use stock art, even if my work isn't good enough, it's still cheaper than hiring out better art - I'm not so terrible at it, so that's something. At least you...

I started playing regular games of D&D in 1979, while in high school. So, obviously, I was playing AD&D 1e during "Satanic Panic" years, but other than having heard some of the stories and reactions - it was distant news for me, something I never personally witnessed. I was in the US Army from...

I think Space Opera has a backdrop of war, but needn't be military sci-fi. Star Wars has that episode which is military heavy, but all the Star Wars are in various states of conflict between the Alliance (and related groups) with the Imperium (at related governments).

I don't know if I can claim the third party Starfinder setting I'm developing is space opera, or not. Some of the qualifications are ticked off, though some aren't. It's Starfinder, so many aliens out there, though my setting is a bit more conservative race multitude-wise, compared to Starfinder...

Well as a cartographer, that do include bushes, trees, rubble, etc. Sometimes I create the object, on-the-fly, for just that map - meaning I don't necessarily have a preset of symbols for all my needs in a map. Sometimes I have needs, that I didn't needn't on previous maps, so I have to create a...

I couldn't tell you why people like/dislike/or do anything really, as regarding your question. While I don't hate gnomes, I cannot remember ever having played a gnome in 40+ years playing D&D, but then I can only remember playing a halfling once in all that time. I've never played an elf nor a...

Technically not a starship, rather a city... After watching the new Dune movie on DVD, I decided to create a sci-fi city map, inspired by Arrakeen, for a non-skyscraper urban area. Appearing as various mastaba shaped short structures only a few levels high, but after getting the bulk I...

One of the elements for intrigue featured urban adventures involve criminal syndicates. While this was designed for Pathfinder, derived from the Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide city stat block rules - thus a subsystem, so should work fine in 5e. These rules to create custom Yakuza gangs (the rules...
