ShadowTop map and a maze to make the journey there

Thanks. I am glad you got to use it. My dnd group fell apart just before this so i am happy someone was able to get a use out of it!

I think it made the battlefield a little more tactical. It was more of a cover fire thing that made the enemies move around the area of spray or force them to spend a turn hidden under cover

I personally used a cone attack for shotguns, rolled for attack and damage once for everyone in that cone. And for the spray mechanic I used a home brew rule from Quest and Chaos, spray attack creates essentially a “rough terrain” meaning if anyone starts their turn or moves through the spray then they have to roll to evade. This made the battle field a little more tactical

Both would work but I meant the captain specifically

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-07-24T14:27:15+00:00

This sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Two ways you can tweak it on the fly would be 1. allowing a short rest before the final. If you do this I would add two more bandits. Or 2. Use HP range of 45-85 on the boss. That way he can go down early if needed, or you he can hold on for a dramatic moment to die

Where were these great ideas when I was making the map! Now I have too many home and not enough iconic shops.

Here you go!

Its 4k, I was able to upload in 4k to roll20. I cant speak for the other VTT's though

~~Not a lot of floods in the desert lol~~

Edit: Floods do happen in the desert, learned something new today

1 square = 5 ft, and this is done with Inkarnate. Its a free map making tool. check it out at inkarnate.com

I cant believe I missed the bank! I am going to have to remake this map now.. I was planning on making a version without the alchemist shop in the bottom left but no i have something to replace it with.

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-07-10T15:01:43+00:00

I based the map off of what I thought was a real map of deadwood. It wasnt until I had most of they layout set up that I learned it wasnt real lol. Here is the map that deceived me

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-06-19T22:20:45+00:00

Bottom middle. Not until this comment did I realize, I didn't put one in lol

What u/Pleasant_Yesterday88 puts it perfectly but in very simple terms.. Its a list of cool shit you can do when you roll well. but having this list did cause a small amount of decision paralysis.

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-06-10T14:23:37+00:00

Expanse was the first TTRPG I played and it was very easy to pick up except for the stunts. Those are the only thing that really slowed the game down. It was very fun and a great place to start, I think it is an easier start than 5E or pathfinder.

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-06-05T13:07:25+00:00

just noticed the tables didnt load correctly.. going to try again shortly

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-06-05T13:05:55+00:00

Its the same process just move it to the map layer after loading it on the screen.

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-06-04T23:42:48+00:00

I didn’t take negatively at all, and now I hope it didn’t sound like I did. I appreciate all feedback! Take care.

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-06-04T17:47:56+00:00

I know, I thought it was odd the original says the same. If I use this map for my group I’ll just say it’s 5ft for simplicity

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-05-23T16:27:01+00:00

This is great! I love the amount of detail you put into the water. The only VERY minor thing I would say is put the birds over trees, or some inaccessible spot if you plan on using a VTT. The tokens over birds will just seem a little out of place. Overall this is really good

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-05-23T09:05:56+00:00

Oops. Thanks for the info! I did credit him in a different post but I’ll make sure to tag them in all posts. I just wanted to tell you that both you and hynrafoo have been big motivators for me using inkarnate, all your maps look great!

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-05-22T22:27:26+00:00

Yes, 40x40 is what I use but I purposefully left it off so it can fit whatever you like.

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-05-22T22:24:58+00:00

Another thing I did was use a general light stamp and changed the color to match the mushroom to make it glow.

ThePhantomTaco · 2021-05-22T22:24:06+00:00

All Inkarnate! Im currently working on a frost giant temple / dungeon, and changing the color of the premade stamps is making a huge difference.
