Calamas map, Capital of Altalissia

I came up with a new map, finally. This week I’m going to start populating the city for future adventures.

Update 10.4.08

I’ve been working a lot lately, which is a good thing, and haven’t had much time to work on my RPG stuff. I’ve completed a city map for Ebonyr today. Tell me what you think.

Web 2.0 Saturday 9.27.08

Another website that I used a lot is Slide. It takes your pictures and artwork and allows customization so that you can post them on your own website. Slide makes the whole process very easy and the end result is fantastic.

Mapping on a monday

Well I was watching MNF until the 3rd quarter blowout by the Chargers.
Anyhoo, I was messin around with Fractal Mapper and came across this great tool called drop shadow. I really like how this map turned out. I might have a keeper here.

Update 9.14.08

Today I’ve been thinking about the new adventure I’m working on and what I learned from the first one, Visionventure Module A-1 Dark Shore. I came up with a list of things to improve or innovate:
1. Make the cover more appealing
2. Come up with a font family that consumers/games can identify Knightvision Studios.
3. Develop a more interesting way to describe rooms/caves/encounters.

I’ve found that I’m terrible at describing encounters which I personally find mundane. Example: two beds against the wall, blah, blah and more blah.
I was thinking about putting all the items needed to be described on the LL map and letting the LL describe it to the PCs. Maybe I could have small map of each encounter instead of a huge map. I would describe the monsters, BBEG or NPCs that are in the encounter to help the LL with the flow of combat and the reasons the encounter is there.

Here’s what I came up with a “brand” cover for future modules.

Module A-2 update 9.13.08

I started working on the first level map using Factal Mapper 8.0. Here’s a rough map

VisionVentures Module A-1 Dark Shore

Here’s the cover!

Adventure update 8.17.08

Well, Ive been working hard on my first adventure, Corsairs of Crosskey. I have most of the writing done, the rough draft should be completed by next friday. I’ve attached some new art and maps for your view pleasure.

Artwork descriptions A-1

The first hulking creature is a crabman, which will feature promptly at the beginning of the adventure

The second one is is an elf corsair. She leads a pirate band that is assisting a self-styled drug lord.

The third are skeleton pirates/warrior. They are cursed to live in a ship that is in the jungle (i.e. LOST!)

I have more art coming soon.
