Tips for outdoor nighttime encounter maps?

IamSparticles · August 2009

I'm making a set of maps for DnD encounters that will take place in a forest at night, and I'm having trouble getting the coloring right. I'm using DD3, and I'm trying to use the adjust HSL sheet effect to make things look like they're lit by moonlight. Problem is, it doesn't seem to have any effect on symbols. So my terrain looks great, but the symbols all look like brightly colored cartoons on top of it. Any tips?

Are you applying the effect to the correct sheet? Most symbols should normally be on the SYMBOL sheet, but there are exceptions. Also, as an alternative, you can apply the effect to the whole drawing instead of a singular sheet.
I did a quick test with the effect you mention, and it seems to work properly for me.

I somehow managed to miss the option to apply effects to the entire drawing. :P Thanks!
