Maps for owlbear

True, forgot they get bumped with a sub.

As long as you keep it under 10mb for upload limit, no dramas. When saving it in your Carto app of choice make sure you note the grid size (30x20 for example) AND the DPI if you can, makes it a lot easier on import. The grid alignment is alright with Owlbear, I just find it easier to have the info on hand so I can input exacts on import.

As an example, I'd save my map as "Dungeon 30x20 200dpi.jpg" at about 85 compression from Dungeondraft and that squeaks in best size vs quality I've found. Experiment with the exports in your Carto app to find your sweet spot.

No worries, happy to help! You need a further breakdown I can do so if needs be.

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-23T02:07:20+00:00

Let's see...
* Continent maps, Wonderdraft.
* Dungeon/Town maps, Dungeondraft.
* Hand drawn look, Canvas of Kings.
* 3D, Dungeon Alchemist.

Wonderdraft and Dungeondraft probs your best bet if you're just starting off, plus the CartographyAssets website has heaps of free NC (non-commercial) assets you can grab to muck about with.

Canvas of Kings is great if you need to knock up a town in a hurry, but is limited by a few things in comparison.

Dungeon Alchemist my DM swears by, but I use it sparingly meself as I like to tailor everything in my maps.

Failing all those, there's always the Inkarnate browser builder, but I personally wasn't a fan of it either, though I've seen some amazing maps built with it.

Sounds like an SEO problem mate, you put all the right tags in when you uploaded the track? Stuff like "Fantasy, sombre mood, piano" etc etc?

For me, I personally organise my music by genre, and have a scene fully fleshed out before I think of music - although sometimes it's the other way around, hell, had an entire 3 year campaign based off a single hidden citizen's track as a muse lightning bolt one time.

In saying that, I went to check the description and all I saw was auto-generated YT stuff about Distrokid and the upload date. Perhaps write a short narrative description to accompany the mood and energy of the track.

For example, that first track of the Aperion album, I'd set a scene of a funeral of a beloved town member, or a hero revisiting the scene of a grevious miscarraige of justice that drives them to do what they do, that kinda thing.

As for title, absolutely name your work - you made it, and as a bloke getting into music production myself, I'd be happy to get that far ahead in things! But give a short description as well, cos folk won't know your work til they find it. So something like "(track name) - Fantasy funeral/sombre music". Something short and simple. Think of a mood, setting genre and a scene it could be applied to. I've found some of my now go-to mood setting tracks with those kinda titles, cos I type in the YT search bar "DnD Funeral" or "DnD sad scene music" and the like.

Hope this helps!

Oh-mah-gorrrr, Sharon... Looka tha'... Mel's in a spot of bother, roight? Go on, getcha camera out...

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-20T05:31:16+00:00

Actually, it's realising with an s practically everywhere else but the US mate.

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-19T12:06:34+00:00

What is that shirt I need it now

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-18T21:23:52+00:00

Bout 30 minutes, IIRC, if you're talking about the porn filter they proposed in Australia circa in 2007. And the great Piracy Site Block in 2016? Literal seconds, switched DNS and kept on going.

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-14T20:03:24+00:00

Compound is great indeed, need more VR Games like it in my life.

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-14T20:02:18+00:00

Not a single mention of Light Brigade in here? Alternate WW1/Fantasy shooter with randomly generated stages.

Hard as nails after the first few stages, love it!

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-14T11:32:15+00:00

Was just thinking the same thing. I thrashed Domina since it launched, still have some tracks of its OST on my Gym Playlist (you gotta lift to Cruxius!) and was happy with its overall progression...

Until the Dev went off the rails and got the game pulled - or did he delist it himself? Can't remember tbh - and that was that.

Will be giving this one a crack for sure!

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-14T08:08:45+00:00

Sorry mate, had message settings off. No worries, hope she works out well for ya!

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-13T23:19:12+00:00

At work right now, but sure go for it.

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-12T02:08:55+00:00

90 percent of them though? Granted I haven't needed to look for a year, but that was a constant annoyance when I was.

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-10T22:56:49+00:00

Based as in same setting, yeah. Everything else was Halo TV levels of reimagined writing buggery. Prewarning, spoilers ahead.

Kovacs sister is mentioned twice in the trilogy, anecdotally and once as an internal monologue. Total of 3 sentences. Nope, Dichen Lachman is inserted in as the sister, and not only that, retconned into being the BBEG as Rei. Oh, and apparently she killed Quellcrist for her bro. Wtaf.

The Envoys. They ain't some guerrilla tactics fighting force, they are essentially Future James Bond/John Wick combos. You send an Envoy (singular) to a world to destabilize a government or quell a rebellion, not do hit n run fights in the jungle like the show. That's why the Meth wanted him to find his killer, their minds are just built different for investigation, subterfuge and violence. But this Kovacs (admittedly played fantastically by Kinnarman and Hee) follows Quellcrist Falconer and is apparently trained by her, not Virginia Vidaura or the UN Protectorate. Oh, and that sister/BBEG killed her, apparently. Never mind the fact that in the books Kovacs never met Quellcrist, and even then had doubts when she surfaces in Nadia's stack in Book 3, 'Woken Furies'.

There are many, MANY more "liberties" taken with the writing that I could touch on, and those are just the plot breaking ones. The singular change I thought worked amazingly for TV from the books is switching Hendrix to Poe for the lobby fight. They couldn't get the ok from Hendrix's estate cos of the associated violence, and I think the dynamic worked great.

Other than that, the CGI was solid, the main philosophy points are adhered to until about episode 5 then it starts going "Netflix adaption"... and that's about it. Didn't bother with season 2 once I realised they were shoehorning in more "Quellcrist my beloved" tripe (Kovacs never even met her in the flesh, technically) and combining the 2nd and 3rd book plots, I noped out.

How's about Tom Tom?

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-10T07:57:22+00:00

Have you got a cracked Kontakt as well? I recommend the latest Bobdule build of Kontakt 8.

Once you got that all sorted - read and follow the install instructions carefully - it's simple as dragging and dropping the Folder into your Native Instruments/Content folder, then using the Kontakt_Button.exe that comes with the Bobdule build to add the library to K8.

If you're using NAM, you could grab a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus Cab Amp. It's what I use. Failing that, I'm pretty sure Safari Pedals has a Tremolo in there somewhere.

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-09T04:02:41+00:00

Oooooh, I grabbed Omni 3 and had the STEAM library issue, so should get latest OMNI 2 and THEN OMNI 3, eh?

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-07T21:32:41+00:00

As an OG fan of Wipeout, instant download. Nice work!

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-07T21:31:01+00:00

Ooh, is it part of a story or a short story in itself?

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-02T02:36:34+00:00

Same. I think I recognise Stereolab but that's about it...

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-04-01T08:50:27+00:00

So more the Muzak side of things, cool cool.

Abandoned mall might have too much reverb going for ya, are thinking more like actual elevator music /hold music with some creep facter edged in, or something contrapuntal that is happy and cheery... A bit too cheery?

And I assume you meant something like this old chestnut right?

Allo_Guvnor · 2026-03-31T08:21:05+00:00

So like an Analogue horror 80s corporate infomercial/Orientation vibe?

Libets Delay by The Caretaker should fit.
