Thanks for the input! I chose landscape for the ease of use for both game table and computer screens; I'm glad you like it. I agree that the "Current" damage entry may have to little space; I'll fiddle with it. I'm trying my best to keep the Character Sheet down to one page. That is also the...

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } After months of research and trial and error, I have finally developed a unique Character Sheet for The Black Desert Role-Playing Game, a Hard SF RPG for Open D6. The Character Sheet has what I hope is an innovative layout with easy to read and intuitive entries...

Ships of the Galaxy March Reveal: Here's March's Offering: The Starwell Tanker!

That's what I'm taking about! The only thing I'd do differently is put the map on the wall and use either virtual or magnetic counters. That way the table is open for books, sheets, dice, and most importantly, popcorn and pizza! Seriously, that program looks awesome. I will show love on my blog.

oooOOOooo...Were they the elementals? That would look awesome...

It's cool to how much info we've managed to generate on this topic! Quick question: Have any of you that are using a flat screen for battle maps tried using counters instead of just minis? I'm interested in the idea of counters printed on transparencies. I think that the result would make...

Niiiiiiice...I want one.

[/LIST] Mmmmm... I do sort of see your point. I admit for many traditional games that using such non-traditional techniques would indeed break that special magic that makes gaming an interactive experience as opposed to a low-tech version of a video game. That being said, I still contend that...

Why use a table? The advantage of a projector (and Mini-counter on separate Photoshop/GIMP layers) is that the battle map can be projected on a wall. This leaves the table free for books, sheets and dice-not to mention the fact that spills and crumbs are safely away from the action. Also...

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I like using photoshop precisely because of the ability to add transparent layers and obscure unexplored sections of the maps. And personally, considering the cost of minis, I think investing in a projector would be cheaper in the long run.

I dunno if it's the genre or the medium. I seem to notice that player of Sci-fi games are more inclined to accept new tech in this manner. Wargamers would much rather use minis and model terrain, if given a choice, and die-hard fans of D&D seem to prefer old-fashioned battle maps. These are...

Wow! Thanks for the input, folks; I really appreciate it. Okay, next question: Who would like to get their hands on a deck plan of a spacecraft the length of a Corellian Corvette? It would be about thirteen feet long at one inch scale, but could be used over and over and be the setting of an...

When I first started researching how to make professional looking battle maps on the Ye Olde Internet, I came across this post on the Geek Six website. Now I didn't really find the techniques mentioned all that useful for the kind of look I was going for (don't get me wrong, the maps shown...

More free star wars stuff! This month's Spacecraft Spotlight: The MaCO and it's owner, the Bothan slicer Cinnamon.

I know, right? I was floored when I found out; I had bought a copy new when it first came out. The irony is that it's the only supplement I currently have for SWSE! I'm gonna at least get a Legacy era one. Maybe a couple of others before they are all ridiculously expensive. BTW, More free...

Sorry. :o Anyway, I have posted Star Wars: Saga Edition stats on my blog. On Thursday, I will have stats for a specific Monarch-class Courier, the MaCO, and her owner, the notorious Bothan slicer known only as "Cinnamon". The stats and the pic of the spacecraft are totally free. Here are...
