Fat Dragon and Oone Games

[Treebore]

Has anyone been checking out these guys?

I have and I must say I would think I would be seeing them mentioned more than I have. They have produced some very good maps for me to buy cheap enough that I consider it a seriously big time saver thats worth the money. Plus Fat Dragon has a number of them where you can change the dressings in the various rooms and such, not to mention their 3-D rendition lines.

Anyways, I like them a lot, but haven't been noticing anyone else mentioning them.

So have any of you used their stuff? Do you agree/disagree that they are worth buying rather than doing it your self? What features do you like best? That kind of stuff.

If nothing else I would like to see if those of us who have used the products can compare notes on likes/dislikes etc... to generate interest in some good pdf products.

I don't want to keep this to just Oone and Fat Dragon, even though they are the ones I have bought the most of, lets talk about all of them, such as Skeleton Key and others that I know I have bought but am blanking on the company names right now.

Lets turn this into another useful ENWorld thread to help other board members become familiar with stuff that is available, but they have yet to hear about, or hear enough about, to give the stuff a try.

0one Games' blueprints are insanely good and I use them in pretty much every adventure. Their hamlet of Wodfield, with some minor modifications, is the centerpiece for my campaign (Maidensbridge in the Barony of Midwood), and one of the Cairn maps was my campaign's first adventure.

I'm going to be buying the new wizard's tower map for the next adventure. They're astonishingly good, and I'll be using the thieves guild map as a gnomish clan's hidden-by-illusion-but-still-full-of-tricks-and-traps mansion, the dwarven halls as the conquered-by-a-dragon dwarf mountain in my campaign and either the Hill of Many Dungeons or the Chaos Caves as my gigantic kobold warren.

The Way Inn, which I've also used in my campaign, isn't my favorite of their maps, but it's a solid map for folks who want an inn complex on the road.

In that spirit, I'd recommend TheLe games. I got their Unorthodox Clerics as a prize in one of the threads here and have gotten loads of use out of it since. Great stuff - will have to pick up some more of their stuff and see if it is of the same standard.

Also have nothing but great words for Skeleton Key, The Forge and Fiery Dragon. The latter in particular have been real gents in my opinion and match top-notch products with top-notch service.

I agree with TheLe games, I am seriously looking forward to the norse book they are supporting.

I don't remember if I have bought Forge products or not, I would have to look to be sure, but I know I have drooled over some of their stuff.

As for FD I own almost their whole line of Battle/Tin Boxes (6 of them) and Counter Collections, plus two of their old modules (NeMoran's Vault and Giants Skull), so yeah, I definitely like them as well. /I have only bought a handful of Skeleton Key's stuff, but as you can tell by the freebies they have offered, they are very good as well.

I haven't had much reason to dabble in Fat Dragon, but 0one are regulars on my shopping list. I picked up pretty much the whole great city line, and most of the Dungeon Under the Mountain line (Undermountain was an old fave of mine... since it seemed like it wouldn't be getting a full conversion, this was a nice surrogate.)

Roanoke -- The latest thing to catch my eye. A horror RPG set in the Roanoke colony. Also my first real look at Wushu. (I really need to closely read Wushu Open).

Lethal Legacies -- An under-appreciated book on traps from Goodman Games.

d20 Master Table -- I get MSHRP flashbacks just looking at it.

Let me echo how insanely good 0one's map products are.

Yea, I really like 0One's maps. The Castles and Keeps floorplans from Darkfuries are most excellent as well. The maps all bleed over into the second page, which is quite annoying, but if you screen capture them, you can paste them into Paint, and print them on a single page. Otherwise, great detail.

Don't have any 0one Games products yet. I tried out Fat Dragon's EZTiles at Gen Con and thought it was a cool product. Fairly customizable too with the ability to turn on and off layers to add in different furnishings and items. (I haven't DMed since Gen Con except for once, and I needed a non-dungeon setup, or I might have used their tiles some more.) I even wrote a review.

I agree about Oone's maps. Most of them are obvious riffs on old classic modules, taking the basic idea and totally redoing the map; I think it's a great idea.

What's so great about the master table? It conveys absolutely no non-obvious information and is nothing I couldn't do in five minutes in Excel. I downloaded it hoping it would have the odds for opposed rolls, which are not as trivial to calculate, but no such luck. It's just straight d20 vs. DC.
