Message: <blockquote data-quote="Goonalan" data-source="post: 5643247" data-attributes="member: 16069">The maps we're using so far (in the Rivenroar Cyrpts) are very basic, they're ones I made when I first started playing 4e via Maptools approx 2-3 years ago- whenever the scenarios came out (I forgetwhen- I'm getting old).I've just finished building all the maps for the second Scales of War module- and populating it as it were, I'm reworking the story a little, but that goes without saying. Again these are all maps that I have made from scratch, although later on I change style a little- and some I'm still unhappy with.I make the maps in Maptool, and using Paint (how basic is that), I need to get hold of photoshop, and then work out how to use it- I come from a time before PCs so a lot of this stuff is pretty new to me. Work bought me a laptop (actually Ipad/book)- I walk it to work each day, and then walk it home with me, other than surfing the internet (to check these threads) then... it's another world.Anyway I keep seeing really good maps- like the Nentir Inn in Fallcrest, that have been done by pros, I'm going to swap a few out if I can- get a bit more atmos in- but only if I can make them fit without too much bending.Thanks for the kudos, but seriously- tell me stuff I can do better, I'm old skool- I don't mind compliments but I'm aware I'm an impatient nasty bugger at times, which I also don't mind. Pick me up when I need picking up- and suggest things that can work better, as and when you see them.Lastly, a big thank you- you all play this game so well, it's easy being me in this PBP, plenty to do at times but that's not a chore... I'm enjoying it- if all PBPs are like this I'm going to consider retiring early and just playing games...Back to the game for a mo-I've had a look ahead and the XP ahead and I'm still going to enforce my cap, however I don't think it's going to be a big issue, you're only just going to get to it anyway (probably).And I don't know how you think you're doing from my POV (with hindsight) you're taking me to the cleaners- keep thinking of alternative solutions, not every encounter has to end in fisticuffs- I'm all for improvising...Keep on keeping on.Last PS- Gaming tonight so I'll not be about till late.</blockquote>
