Kickstarter - images/symbols useful for mapping

Trenloe · October 2012

I don't know what the etiquette is regarding informing users ("advertising") regarding mapping related kickstarter projects. If it's not the done thing, please let me know and I'll remove...

Game Master's Campaign - The Fantasy art kit

Originally this kickstarter was mostly for creature/NPC tokens for use in VTT (virtual table top) gaming, but with some of the stretch goals there will now be lots and lots of handy mapping symbols created - lots of objects and items, terrain, walls, decals and furniture and minimaps. Then location specific "stuff" - tavern, castles & torture chambers, holy places (burial grounds, crypts, temples, etc.) are all available now as reached stretch goals.

OK, so these are not packaged for direct use in CC3 (perhaps they could be?) but I'm assuming they will be able to be used within CC3 (as they will be supplied as PNG files).

Could be worth a look...

Note: I'm no way related to this kickstarter (other than being a backer) - I just thought I'd share this info with the ProFantasy community in case others might be interested. And, the more backers it gets the more stretch goals are met and the more symbols everyone gets! :-)

Looks very interesting, and the symbols would certainly be usable in CC3/DD3. The least we can do is provide instruction how to import these as symbols, when they are done.

Looks really nice I must say. The only con is that you're not allowed to share the stuff you do on the net with others, if you don't go for the 250$ package. But still looks really good. (maybe Profantasy can convince him in doing a future annual with some nice content

)

I bought into is also, I'm really impressed with the art. I hope it reaches the next strech goal.

BOHICA · October 2012

I bought in for the DM's Kit. The art looks fantastic!

I too would like to see this artist do an annual.

That's a really good idea - and the more Raymond (the artist) reveals in previews sections of his work would be ideal. He is revealing lots of previews in a thread in the Fantasy Grounds VTT forum: Map/Tokens Preview forum thread

Page 27 shows a bunch of previews of parchment map backgrounds and lots of symbols for what he (Shockbolt in the forum) calls his minimap offering. These would be perfect as an annual release! :-)

Hijacking the thread a bit, with a few previews of the Minimap art kit

For me it would be worth it just for the Parchments.

Great art kit.

Medio · October 2012

THose minimap symbols look great!

Shockbolt · October 2012

The Kickstarter project ended a few minutes ago, 477% funded, reaching several stretch goals. I guess a lot of people are in for a serious amount of rpg artwork for their campaigns. I'm also really looking forward to seeing the rpg modules and game projects, using my artwork.

Shockbolt · January 2013

Well into the project, I'm finally taking some time to go around to the various sites I've been posted updates in, to show that I'm still alive and that the project is being worked on.

You will find information about the project here: http://www.rpgartkits.com/
And through it's facebook site here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Game-Masters-Campaign-Fantasy-art-kit/241738329292935

Many thanks to anyone who supported the fundraiser when it was running on kickstarter and keep and eye out for the finished art kits, those of you who didn't hear of it before it was too late

I'm glad you'll be offering it out as a commercial product. For a number of personal reasons, I couldn't participate in the Kickstarter, but I'd love to be able to buy the artwork later.
