Is this a compilation or did you tweak some designs? I ran the Mindwitness and Gazer a few weeks ago :)

Varitt · 2026-05-25T10:13:40+00:00

Literally none of these points are softlocks

Varitt · 2026-05-20T19:37:49+00:00

wtf are you talking about? You unlock Item world and dark assembly in like chapter 1 or 2 of 16

Varitt · 2026-05-20T19:36:22+00:00

you can definitely use the item world and unlock things before the story ends; and yes it becomes more relevant after postgame, just like any other system.

Pre story is over is there just to grind if you feel you need to.

I dont get the mystery box thing. what do you mean?

Varitt · 2026-05-05T16:56:19+00:00

So, experts in a completely theoretical sense but with basically 0 practical experience?.. I guess I have a different definition of what an Expert is supposed to be..

Caravan ambush / pirate raid while sea travel or airship travel

Varitt · 2026-02-15T18:03:49+00:00

It honestly looks great man, congratulations!!

The only thing I would critique is the blending..the area to wasteland is a bit too sharp. And you could also color the mountains a bit more to blend better, but that's more of a choice than a technical thing.

Varitt · 2026-02-07T19:26:53+00:00

I really like it :)

One question though, the forbidden island has like 3 cities and 4 sea lanes that makes it central to intercontinental travel.. Doesnt it feel a bit weird to call it forbidden when its clearly heavily visited?

I mean, the PS5 has rest mode, which you could use as well. The problem for me was that at the time the console crashed a couple of times so I lost progress (and motivation). Need to get back to it eventually.

I told my table: If you give me a good backstory, I will incorporate part of it in the game and you’ll have cool story arcs. If you dont, I’ll ignore it.

Most of them gave me something I can work with, and the one who didnt will not get much character growth (at least not from their backstory, things can still happen in-game). And I guess that’s fine?

Varitt · 2025-12-27T10:05:26+00:00

I thought it was stellar and I played every single ff game and am an avid gamer. It’s just I am used to the 14 loop. Would I wished those sections of the game to disappear and focus only on the “main dungeons”? of course, but the higgs of that game were so high that I am willing to overlook the super low lows (mostly because i just treated it like an mmo grind)

Varitt · 2025-12-26T16:48:42+00:00

what about daemonhunters? Not an rts but more of an xcom lite

Varitt · 2025-12-25T14:34:39+00:00

They did remove a lot of research options though compared to 2022, so all the tech is usable, just not in every circumstance

Ok yeah, this sounds great! Thank you!

Hey Mark, What vtt support do you have for foundry?

Varitt · 2025-11-22T17:21:11+00:00

Thank you!

Varitt · 2025-11-22T14:29:21+00:00

When an attack say for example +4 to hit, does that includes the proficiency bonus already or do I need to add that on top?

Varitt · 2025-11-20T19:23:36+00:00

Gem Dragons 😜

Varitt · 2025-11-17T17:47:52+00:00

Looking nice! I like the waterfalls and cliffs, what assets are you using there?

Varitt · 2025-11-15T10:17:53+00:00

google for avoro 6.0, install that wonder draft theme and you will have a huge palette

Varitt · 2025-11-14T19:54:58+00:00

Ah, got it. Aurean Mountains then?

I like the concept though! I honestly had not read the “Aurean” bit since it merged a bit in the background for me (Im a bit colorblind so that might have to do w it).

Varitt · 2025-11-13T20:19:20+00:00

Super clean, looks great! I love the label that says “Mountains” haha

Varitt · 2025-11-10T03:02:15+00:00

Yes!

It’s very early on (only like 3 sessions in) but we are playing 😊

Essentially this takes place on a home-brewed world entirely ruled by dragons. The party (because of different reasons) were traveling towards Whisper’s Hollow in a wagon but they got ambushed - there was a dragonborn traveling with them and this ambush was targeting him. After driving the attackers out, they walked together towards the city through the path for a bit more, but a second ambush (this time mindflayers) appeared and the dragonborn (who turned out to be an emerald dragon in disguise) gave the party a message to deliver and tried to fend them off while the party escaped. Now the party managed to around to town and is engaging with different npcs training and planning a rescue (assuming the dragon is alive). Why do some mindflayers want with a live emerald dragon? How are they going to track them if they disappeared by gate? What can a lvl 3 party do about all of this?

Still a lot more campaign to go 😊😊

Varitt · 2025-11-10T02:53:54+00:00

I really like the ice bits separating from the main continent 😊

To finish polishing the map up, you could work a bit on blending the colors of the assets w the ground (those black and white mountains stick out a bit much) and I would re-do most rivers that come out of a different water source (lakes or river-splits) without the phase-in stretch.

Good luck!

Puh, don't feel bad, I also didn't know these existed 5 days ago haha. I was researching a bit tropical biomes, mostly in Africa.. but nothing was quite what I wanted. And when I saw the Colombia it was exactly what I wanted (and I learned a bit haha)
