Need Mapping Help!
Where can I find additional tiles and placeable objects for the RPTools map-maker?

I some catapults, stairways, castle walls, and elevators. And maybe some spiked fences for the cage-match. And some levers.

Ken:This is a great place to start looking.

There's a torrent (as in .torrent file) of 2GB or more of maptools stuff floating around, which you can occasionally, but not always, find linked from the maptools site. I don't have it on this computer, but when I get to my other one I'll poke around.

Here's one link to that torrent: http://blog.mnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mapping_objects.torrent

Lots of useful stuff in there, but it's not exactly a quick download.

 

[KenHood]

Thanks.

I've downloaded the file. Do I need to place the objects in a specific directory so that I may access them in Maptools?

Also, how do I place the coordinates around the rim of the map, like we have in the Closed Eye?

They can be in any directory, but you have to register that directory with maptool. I think it's under the file menu somewhere. (On the wrong computer again...)

Also, how do I place the coordinates around the rim of the map, like we have in the Closed Eye?

Somewhere under the view menu, I think, should be an option to show coordinates.

 

[Atanatotatos]

...uhmm really? I've never found that option, and always had to just "write" letters and number with the drawing/writing tool...

 

[RedBeardJim]

Yep. "View" --> "Coordinates".

 

[Atanatotatos]

I don't have that. I suppose I missed the updated version...

This Hybrid Characters Playtest looks AWESOME!

I can't wait to try it out. Unfortunately the only RL DM I know doesn't want to run them. But at least I found a RL DM...

Now I have got to find a way to play with one of these! they look so fun. Like what I would have made Multiclassing to begin with.
