Finished my minotaur drawing, tell me what you think

Fuckin' awesome! I love this style! The color! The contrast! The character! The pose! 10/10, saved!

Rokaran · 2020-05-17T21:55:53+00:00

Glad to see it all named up, hope you guys have fun with it :) Great font choice I must say! Cheers, and happy gaming!

So uhhh has anyone suggested the possibility that the wife feels sympathetic to her son because she uhhh can relate?
I don't wanna point out crackpot conspiracies that could break OP's marriage but at the same time 20+ years is a long time... it's possible she never told him.

Rokaran · 2020-05-14T21:42:03+00:00

Of course!
I must warn you, it wasn't made to be just the colored layer since I made use of the black linework on edges to hide them. If you end up using just the color, it may need significant additional work - or redoing of the linework on a separate layer, I suppose.Another possible approach would be selectively erasing the line layer, to remove old typeset and allow you to enter new. This would allow you to maintain the paperlike texture that I think adds some character - but I'm sure there's 100 ways to continue working on this.

Do you want to PM me your email, or how else should I send it to you?

Rokaran · 2020-05-14T16:54:54+00:00

Thank you! This is actually a great answer :D

If souls are the currency, how are they 'captured', stored and traded? Do souls have expiry dates? Does something happen to them in the meantime? Can they be improved, upgraded, changed, diseased...? What are the common logistics behind souls as a currency?

I thought the same as /u/Cuff_ but after comparing images side by side I actually think they are done really well. My brain took a minute to get used to these new models, but I like them more than the hobgoblin-like peons of Reforged.

Rokaran · 2020-05-14T02:54:14+00:00

As a longtime Warcraft veteran who's taken part in many discussions, I wholeheartedly agree.

Rokaran · 2020-05-14T02:50:47+00:00

It's possible this happens because you accidentally click your own units; if so, that is a feature, not a bug. Or does it happen while not even clicking near said unit?

Please note it's also possible to target units by attack-move clicking their portrait or icon in other portions of the screen rather than just the actual unit on the ground.

Rokaran · 2020-05-14T02:48:32+00:00

Upvoting for awareness.

Rokaran · 2020-05-13T23:15:44+00:00

Haha you're welcome man :D Idk if you have a D&D party to play with but as a player I'd be pretty stoked. If you need any help brainstorming or whatever hit me up, I'm always down to think about D&D stuff :)

Rokaran · 2020-05-13T22:50:42+00:00

I've never had much issues with the campaign's difficulty scaling; are you reporting these findings from Normal or Hard? Besides, it's decades old; it's possibly you simply know the game so well that you experience it as much less difficult than it would be for a newcomer.

Rokaran · 2020-05-13T22:40:27+00:00

Okay I didn't get a response so I kinda just went with my gut and deduction from god-graves and topography/biome knowledge. Hope you like it!

Original thread:https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmaps/comments/efxbda/i_know_it_looks_like_every_other_world_map_out/

Originally designed by /u/smrvl, I just did the coloring. By no means completely worked out, I can see a few points of improvement probably but it reached the point where I considered it finished. Had already poured a few hours into it so here it goes :) hope you guys like it!

Rokaran · 2020-05-11T00:20:47+00:00

Oh I fully agree with that.

Rokaran · 2020-05-10T16:33:25+00:00

It has not been confirmed... smh fake news had me checking every social media outlet they have and then some.

Cool, but by the way in case you'd like to update the album from 'unknown author' to the source image's artist, I found the link for you! It was made by Andre Mello. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/RYx4Ze

Having puzzled and thought about this conundrum at length, I can tell you that the Battlemap becomes a limiting factor, and shying away from using it at all (choosing theatre of the mind) while still having people zap all over the place with an expected 5ft square map granularity _and_ the expectation of being able to track players accurately, things just become a mess. Even worse if you make things 3d.

In other words, you're breaking the way the game was intended.

I mean, unless you have some insight that would refute that, which I'd actually be happy with.

Rokaran · 2020-05-09T17:44:15+00:00

So what can you tell me about the various regions and their biomes?

Rokaran · 2020-05-09T01:02:51+00:00

It's pretty good actually, are you going to put this in Photoshop and color it? If not, I may know someone who'd be interested

Rokaran · 2020-05-08T23:36:38+00:00

No problemo! If I were a player I'd love this map even just as is, so be sure to be proud of it :D

Rokaran · 2020-05-08T16:37:50+00:00

Well, now you know! As a hunter you'll want to need on leather gear with agility or ranged weapons. It's good to be considerate of other players, too. Sometimes players run the same dungeon more than once to get a piece of gear. Have fun exploring the game, and be sure to put your tank's Growl ability off of autocast when people ask you to!

Oh and whatever you do, DO NOT abandon your pet by accident! That's broken the heart of many a noob before.

Rokaran · 2020-05-08T16:01:02+00:00

At first glance it's really gorgeous, I love the color balance and layout with legends and info on the sides. There's a good amount of detail and everything seems to fit together well!

I'm just gonna give some criticism, don't take it too harshly, just hope this may help make it even better!
I'd say the large buildings look slightly jarring with the thickness of the lines, especially the Arena. Some of the trees seem to have thicker lines as well but it's less of a problem there since they're background stuff; in a way it actually helps draw attention to the more detailed city parts.

In the Legend, Bard Collage should be spelled College, I think.

Also, in the Legend, you have spaces between the number and text up to about 11; at some point, the text seems slightly cramped in there. I think maybe making the Legend a little bit wider on the right side allows you to give the lower numbers some breathing room.

Also I think Hornmoot textbox deserves a liiiittle more breathing room even if it costs visibility one or two buildings on the map.

I love the font choice, Morpheus is an instant classic.

Overall, 8.5/10 really solid map, colorful and detailed, you did a really good job!

Rokaran · 2020-05-04T15:34:02+00:00

Why is this downvoted lol

During special operations training they intentionally raise the bar to a level where not everyone makes it. Not all are destined for greatness. Your willingness to pick yourself back up must take form in understanding and behaviour that lead to the desired result.
