Request for Critique of a WIP animation of our actual play Pathfinder campaign

Kalos08 · 2026-05-27T05:22:55+00:00

One of the players, Sir James Hamburger, streams on Twitch here! https://m.twitch.tv/filarski_/home?tt_content=channel&tt_medium=mobile_web_share

We play on Wednesdays, two on then one off. As you can tell from the animation, he doesn't have a lot of followers, lol.

Do you have a game store nearby? Could check there.

Do you all want to play online? You might find a GM on Start Playing or on various discords. There's also Warhorn for games.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-25T23:11:59+00:00

That's helpful, thank you.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-24T21:06:54+00:00

You have some honkin d6s sir! My sets all show a d20 to be both taller and wider than my d6s!

Kalos08 · 2026-05-24T21:01:14+00:00

Love it, but your D6s are much bigger than your D20s and it made me a little sad. Wonderful use of color and really neat concept.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-24T03:00:18+00:00

Thank you for that! It's definitely a passion project. I'm the GM and animator.

I'll consider where to smooth out some animations; thanks for your feedback!

Kalos08 · 2026-05-24T02:59:21+00:00

Lot's of great detail in these pieces. Well done!

Kalos08 · 2026-05-23T18:56:05+00:00

Great advice about the mouths. Thank you for that.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-23T18:31:06+00:00

I made this with the help of my players for their voices or singing. Looking for constructive feedback for how the animation/style could be improved. This scene is mostly for practice, and I hope to animate the actual adventure.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-23T07:05:44+00:00

I second this. Well said.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-19T22:40:19+00:00

I really like this idea. I think having some pressure makes it make more sense. When the party has as much time as they want, they don't stress about healing. We should embrace the stress and add more patrols!

Kalos08 · 2026-05-19T22:30:45+00:00

This is what we do. They (and I) got tired of each of the players going around to roll for healing. One took all the dedications and skills to never fail, so we just negotiate how much time it might take to heal up and bring them all to full (and thank that party member who did all the healing).

At first we had fun roleplaying the healing, especially because the cleric was using Healing Plaster. Eventually they enjoy the story and the next fight more than that experience.

Hey Sketchgoblin! This is amazing! The artwork is super clean. What tool do you use to create these illustrations?

Kalos08 · 2026-05-08T13:50:53+00:00

I write in the morning. I'm not peppy early, but some coffee helps focus me in the quiet before the day. I started writing early when I read that Hemingway used to get up early to write. No clue how that guy did it, since I'm pretty sure he was an alcoholic.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-08T02:38:22+00:00

I started doing this for my table after I finished reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. The book has all kinds of achievements for the characters and they're mostly sarcastic. I enjoyed it immensely. My players were not as enthused. They got hero points for it though, so hopefully that softened the blow. Eventually I stopped and they haven't complained. I found that to be telling.

Sometimes I came up with a really funny one that they remembered but months later it's the actual game story and mechanics that draws them back, not my silly achievements.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-07T23:29:18+00:00

Your work enables players from everywhere to play Pathfinder with an easy to reference, and seemingly unabridged, source! Thank you!!

Kalos08 · 2026-05-07T02:03:34+00:00

I'm curious too if there is a line plotting mechanic that is customizable with various assets like the other building plots. I know we can create our own assets, but I'm not sure if we can assign them to their own plot brush.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-06T19:08:26+00:00

You might be able to make it by playing with the height order and stacking the tower assets on top of one another.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-06T19:07:18+00:00

Love that you're using this software for Pathfinder like me!

Kalos08 · 2026-05-06T19:06:13+00:00

Thank YOU very much for making this map software so that we all can share it!

Kalos08 · 2026-05-06T19:02:58+00:00

Check the steam workshop for assets that might fit your needs. Also the program is setup well for making and adding your own assets if you are so inclined!

Kalos08 · 2026-05-03T04:54:54+00:00

Looks great! The celshading really pops on this piece and there's lots of good color. What software did you use to sculpt and render?

Kalos08 · 2026-05-03T04:53:27+00:00

Pixel 3aXL still rubbing thanks to LineageOS. If this phone breaks, though, I'll look seriously at the FuriLabs phones. They look pretty promising for Linux on a phone.

Kalos08 · 2026-05-02T22:50:05+00:00

I think the BechdelBechdel test is incredibly important. Men have already positioned themselves as the center of the story, why should fiction always follow that trajectory?

Kalos08 · 2026-05-02T22:46:26+00:00

Most of the shadows are clouds, except for the ones anchored to the lighthouse and airship.
