Quick posts and reviews about RPG Maps that have been created for use in Virtual TableTop services such as Roll20.net, either by myself or by other artists.

My super advanced mapmaking technique - a handful of dice makes the map nice

[somethingdnd]

interesting method

[takeo14]

My question is do the die affect topography any or just set the borders?

[somethingdnd]

I imagine it’s up to the person making the map. But maybe the more dice in a single spot, the more mountainous or forested the area. Maybe choose a few dice to be deemed cities, and some dice for ruins.

[onion-ice]

Maybe let the dice choose, like a nat 20 would be the world capital, and 10’s would be mountains or something like that.

[somethingdnd]

1-5: Plains and fields

6-8: Forests

9-11: Mountains

12-14: Tundras and snow covered lands

15-17: Farms and towns

18-19: Larger cities

20: Capitals and castles

what would happing if all the dice landed on a 20?

[somethingdnd]

then you have a very busy continent

not all of those are d20s though, so you’d have to come up with another method for the other ones

Maps are one of the few things I don’t like to randomly generate.  Although I have become fond of only mapping the small area the campaign begins in and then discovering the world along with the players as they explore (aka Making It Up As We Go).

Data Delve Dev Blog #2: Introducing Character Sheets Character Sheets have long been one of the most-requested features for us to add to Roll20. Until now we’ve hesitated to add them simply because we...

Time to get your HTML/CSS on!  Roll20 will be offering Character Sheets as part of the Data Delve in May, and folks whom are talented in the ways of HTML and CSS will be able to design their own character sheets, as well as submit ones for consideration in the Community Library.

My latest set of artwork is finally available for sale on Roll20.net

Salty Sea Dogs know that no matter how dangerous the perils are that adventurers face on land, the endless reaches of the seas and oceans are far more terrifying. Sometimes your only salvation will depend on the reliability of the ship you trust to keep you afloat on the unfeeling waves.

Ship Shape – Longboats provides GMs with a selection of premade ship maps and modular ship tiles in four styles. The premade ships allow GMs to quickly add longboats to their map with minimal fuss. The modular tiles allow GMs to indulge their creativity by giving them control over the length of the ships, how many seats they have, whether they rely on oars or sails, and what color of sails are used.

Four styles are provided in this set. Characters may find themselves traversing the sun-bleached decks of old and worn vessels, or setting sail on the newest sea faring enterprises. But if things get too complacent, they might find themselves under siege by the undead crews of the dark and haunted ghost ships. More adventurous sea divers may explore sunken vessels which have become degraded and overgrown with algae and coral.
