The Forge is finished

Posted by knightvision on May 30, 2009

Well today I decided to bite the proverbial bullet and get this adventure module completed. You’ll find a copy of it on my website. I found this adventure to be a little more challenging then the previous ones for a couple of reasons. The monsters had to be a bigger challenge. There are some 4-6 HD creatures in the level 3 module. I think it will make things very challenging for the PC’s.

I hope you enjoy this labor of love.

Long overdue post

Posted by knightvision on May 26, 2009

Greetings,

After a a nice long walk and some Gatorade, I’m finally going to write this post. I’m changing some maps, location and module names. The new module will be called “The Forge” vs. Mace of Souls. There was some possible copyright infringement that I didn’t want to get into. I’ve also been working on a new world map.

It was made using Arr-Kelaan’s Hexmappeer software and polished up in paint shop pro. I plan on doing a screencast of Hexmapper and paint shop pro pretty soon. I’ve also have a new livestream.com channel started up. I have some great rpg/dnd videos up. Check out the knightvisionstudios website.

Talk to ya later.

Mace of Souls update 5.6.09

Posted by knightvision on May 6, 2009

I’ve been diligently working on this module. I was hoping to have it done by May 1st. As you can see I didn’t meet that self imposed deadline. I’ve decided that I need to develop a template so all my modules have the same look. This module will not be free and will be sold on Lulu.com. Another touch point for Knightvision Studios is twitter. You can follow me @knightvision

Thanks for reading this blog.

Mace of Souls update 4.26.09

Posted by knightvision on April 26, 2009

I’ve completed the basic, rough draft of levels 1-5 of the Forge underground complex. Each level has between 10-15 rooms. The final level has a whopping 24 rooms with a lot of surprises. Here’s another sneak peak of a couple of monsters.

Knightcast podcast Episode 3 uploaded

Posted by knightvision on April 18, 2009

My latest podcast, The Knightcast episode 3, was uploaded a couple days ago. In this Knightcast I talk about the most recent Ebonyr supplement that was completed, the Village of Brynmoor.

I’m also working on my next adventure module called Mace of Souls. This module will be for the Labyrinth Lord ruleset level 3 characters. I was going to use Microlite74, but it really is to simple for my tastes after review.

The podcast also has some Web2.0 information and a commentary I call, My Take. Enjoy

Rough draft map for ancient testing complex

Posted by knightvision on April 12, 2009

I’ve been using Fractal Mapper 8 more and more lately and have been really getting the hang of it. I have to find some symbols. :-(

Anyhoo, the rough draft map of an ancient dwarven (Zhud) rites complex has been completed.

Backstory: This complex was designed to test new recuits or initates in ancient times to see if they had the ability to protect the “Mace of Souls”

There will be plenty of left over traps from ancient times and now several monsters have called the complex home sweet home and don’t like newcomers.
