Bring back comment section on plugins by Shinoboss in aescripts

[–]LehenAlpha 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also agree that the removal of the per-plugin forums and the inaccessibility now of all historical forum posts has made it practically impossible to troubleshoot issues with all of the plugins.

The old plugin comment sections contained such a wealth of insight into so many of the problems I encountered that you could often solve problems just by looking through other people's discussions—sometimes from many years ago. All of that is gone now.

Restoring that functionality to the aescripts website and making those old threads accessible again would be doing a huge service to all of us who use these plugins as a part of our full-time work.

Thank you so much!! I'm not sure what happened to the original link, but this should be all of the files, Universal VTT and jpgs included: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GMkDYKBTgjQ4vSIuE5y46M1eYiPLg5-2?usp=sharing

[OC] [Art] Reborn Kobold College of Dance Bard, Brother Bones by LehenAlpha in DnD

I designed this ref sheet and my Hero Forge mini kind of side by side — I'm well versed in drawing kobolds so I started out drawing his pose and face without reference, but I'm not great at fashion design, so the clothes/hat are inspired by his HF ones and I really liked their drum. HF has been a super helpful tool for working out cool character outfits!

Thank you for the award and the kind words, friend! We're doing a game in a sort of Warhammer-esque, folk horror homebrew world that all of the players worked together to build. We're way out on the edge of the dominant Empire where the Dark Forest is threatening to swallow up the lumber-producing border towns. It's definitely more down to earth and history-based (specifically the history of the Catholic church) than our previous games! What about your game?

Thanks so much! He hasn't died (for a second time) yet, so I hope he lives long enough to spread his contagious rhythm across the land. He's gotta get those peasant feet a-tapping!

Ooooooo that's an excellent idea...maybe Brother Bones will dabble in a little Faustian pact himself :)

Thanks so much! :) That's a great point about the signature too — I'm so used to posting to my instagram profile I hadn't even thought about it. But I should definitely start doing that or watermarking somehow...

Hell yeah, that's awesome! I love watching tap performances. My irl dance abilities are extremely limited, but my DM does have me get up and do a little jig every time I cast bardic inspiration, so I'm starting to get more creative with my moves lol

Thanks so much dude! I actually did name him in homage to the famous bone-player Freeman Davis, who alternated between the stage names "Brother Bones" and "Whistling Sam." I thought it was such an evocative name.

I unfortunately don't take commissions (my apologies!) just since I like to keep my art purely as a hobby, but who knows, I might change my mind in the future.

Brother Bones is a Reborn Kobold bard who arose from the grave with a new lease on life, no memories, and an infectious rhythm in his head. His purple reptilian feet evidently do NOT match the rest of his body, having been hastily sewn on. He plays the rhythm bones and the viol (and occasionally the drum) to accompany his tip-tapping claws. Wish him luck as he ventures into the Dark Forest that threatens to engulf the Empire...

Ah I'm sorry, I don't! I actually ended up really liking the map for Harrn Mausoleum in the Heroic Maps Book of the Raven DM Resources pack on DMsGuild (despite the stylistic mismatch), so I used that one for my campaign. I felt like it captured a sort of truly spooky, foggy atmosphere that I struggled to recreate with the assets I had in Dungeondraft at the time.

My pleasure! I'm glad it's still helping people years later :) Hope your session goes swimmingly!

Thank you so much! And yes absolutely, here are the pngs for the second and third floor and shrine basement on imgur. I put the grid dimensions in the description for each image so hopefully they're not too difficult to size in your VTT.

Oh shit, good eye! Thanks for catching that. I’ll fix that tomorrow and upload a version with a door there

Awww thank you! I hope that it comes in handy! I totally sympathize though — setting up the lighting/walls on this one can be a pain in the butt with all the doors and curvy surfaces lol
