24 - 4e style (closed)

[Mal Malenkirk]

Yeah, I added a little [roof] medallion but for some reason it started appearing under the token instead of over it. I fied it but as soon as I reloaded, it satrted appearing under again.

I emailed the issue.

One thing, that Leyra has done on the way there (hadn't updated my status yet, so I only saw it now) is load her belt with a new healing surge (used one of Leyra's again, though it would probably make more sense to have Dagran spend one... but given that Leyra still has 4 left afterwards, that should be alright ).

FYI: Digger will be on and off for a few due to family health related issues.

Mal: Any thoughts on if there will be 24 Day 3?

 

[Charwoman Gene]

I, for one, hope there will be.

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

Ah, sympathies for Digger.

Day 3 : I am not sure, it's up in the air. I really want to get involved at L4W, there seem to be a shortage of DM and there is more of a payoff to DM in a persistant gameworld.

On the other hand, It's fun to have a peek at high level D&D. Day 3 would be level 20 or 21. But do I have the time to run 2 games? Not sure. Thankfully it has become less time consuming with VB so maybe.

I can't STAND VB as a DM. I don't like the players moving the pieces before I read their turn.

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

Yeah, well, VB allowed me to attempt this insane 4 floor map fight, which is cool.

Except of course that I know of no convenient way to do such a humongous map without VB! Arg!

I really suck at this design stuff. Anyway, tonight I will see what I can do. Probably try to translate this map to an approximative Excel map and go from there.

I've heard good things about MapTool. You can post picts and what not, but you still have to move the pieces.

I use OmniGraffle on my Mac, FWIW.

I don't really see where the difference is between making four maps in that virtual tabletop as opposed to making four maps in any other mapping solution?

In fact, I think with something like GIMP (or Photoshop, for the professionals) it should be plenty easy to do such maps. You can even have all of them in a single file with layers (two for each map level, one with the terrain, and one with the character tokens, so it is easy to move them around via cut&paste) and export them individually, which will make it really easy to move character tokens from one map to the other.
