I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THESE FOR SO LONG BUT THEY’RE FINALLY DONE!!!

I’m going to be tabling at a little local gaming convention, so I’ve been working on these D&D class sticker designs for weeeeeeks so I can sell them at the convention! After that they will be up on my etsy and redbubble! 

Each of them feature plants that have specific symbolism for each class… though i don’t remember what they all were now… But I worked really hard to make each one unique!

Dungeon Design: Guiding Player Movement Part I

This is a guide to influencing your players to go where you want them to go. It’s like railroading, but more calculated and nearly invisible during a game. Here in Part 1 I am talking about purely visual properties and composition of a dungeon map. Throughout this post I am using a map from a previous dungeon my players went through. For context, it’s an ice cavern made into a lair for a clan of frost giants. Hidden somewhere within is a secret entrance to the lost tomb of a hero, which is their goal to find for this floor.

Leading the Players

Leading lines are lines that lead the players from one point of the map to another, much like in the composition of a photo or painting. Use them to less-than-subtly direct players in the direction you wish. Strong leading lines start from a large shape and end at a small shape, subconsciously simulating depth. Imagine someone pointing at a faraway object. You start at the person’s body, then arm, then finger, and finally at the direction they are pointing.

In the above image I’ve drawn out the leading lines. They are formed by the lines denoting elevated areas in the northwest room, the barrels in the northern room, the stone pillars in the eastern room, and miscellaneous objects in the southern room.

The stars on the map indicate the end goals that lead to the next level (there were two possible places in case they found one area before the other). The leading lines try to funnel players towards these goals.

Ways to create leading lines:

Actual lines: walls, barriers, elevation changes (marked by a line), floor tiling, rugs, long tables, etc.

Repeating Pattern: repeated objects that form a sequence can create a leading line.

Hey everyone!

 As you might know, I was the one who made the umbra-staff that Justin used tonight at the SDCC live show!! I just thought i’d show off some of the neat details of it, since I’m sure it’d be hard to see them from the stage!

another thing that may or may not have made an appearance at the live show was This super secret special surprise about the umbrella that can only truly be captured in video form.

Just finished up this commission today. He’s a bit like a manticore but his own special kind of species by P. Anastasia (FatesAflame.com). The armor scales feature chameleon dust from SolarColorDust.com I was originally going to use Pearl Ex for this effect. However, my client liked the Color Shift Fern Fox casts so much that I tried this instead. And it worked like a charm! It has a lot more depth than the Pearl Ex. I am going to have a walkthrough of this guy on my Patreon on Wednesday for $5+ patrons. Do you follow me yet? www.patreon.com/emilysculpts
