  • Your favourite settings? (worlds)

    I saw "favorite setting" and immediately misinterpreted it as a CC3 setting, like the sheet effects (of which my favorite is the Color Key cutout effect). Every campaign I've ever been in has been a homebrewed world, occasionally supplemented with commercial modules dropped in as side quests. I first started playing in 1979, when Greyhawk was the only world around, but I only have a passing familiarity of Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms.

    But I've been invited to join a Pathfinder campaign set in the world of Golarion, so I'll be learning a lot more about that world soon.

    I did not know that Waterdeep was designed with Campaign Cartographer. That's really cool.

  • [WIP] Wizard's Tower - Interior

    And if I didn't already share it, here's the "Above" FCW:

  • [WIP] Wizard's Tower - Interior

    Yes, absolutely! I kinda forgot about that once I found a place in the Atlas for them. But as that may take me some time to submit, and then Remy some time to process, here they are in the meantime:

    One thing to note: I found my computer getting kinda sluggish with some of these until I hid all of the outside stuff while working on the rest. (That cleared up when I rebooted.) To deal with that, I created an "OUTSIDE" layer for each of these and put almost everything that wasn't inside the tower on that layer. If you're customizing and find it slow, hide the OUTSIDE layer while you're working and that may speed things up.

  • [WIP] Wizard's Tower - Interior

    Turret is done, and with it the entire above-ground portion of the tower. There are several basement areas (cold storage and wine cellar, sewers, dungeon!) that still need to be mapped. My hope is to finish it all off before the end of the month.

    Eighth Floor

    The 8th Floor of the tower is the first floor of the turret, plus the roof area (protected by crenellations) of the main tower. The turret has arrow slits that can be closed off inside with metal shutters. (In looking at the arrow slits, I see they are not quite like the ones on lower floors, so I may adjust them.) The spiral staircase extends up one more level.

    Ninth Floor

    This floor provides arrow slits elevated above the roof of the main tower. The spiral staircase ends here, but rungs mounted on the wall allow for ascending to the "bell tower" above.

    Tenth Floor

    It's more of a light house than a bell tower. Luminescent crystals radiate light that can easily be seen for miles around. On holidays and special occasions, the wizard can use simple illusions to change the color of the light to match the holiday's traditional décor.

    You may have noticed that these images now use the title "Tyr Alomere" instead of "Wizard's Tower." I have decided where I'd like to home it in the Atlas, a wizard's tower that I had placed in the Gold Coast area of Doriant that I mapped for the Atlas (circled in yellow in the two images below).

    I will need to design the small village the tower is in first. Do you think I need to do a more regional map, or will the village with the tower suffice?

    Here it is on the Gold Coast:

    It also makes an appearance on the edges of the regional map of Gongodûr -- it's in the Kingdom of Vacuria, but on the edges of Gongodûr:

  • Adnati - Cosmographer Satellite

    Inspired by the most recent Live tutorial, here's a quick and dirty rendering of my campaign world in the Cosmographer Satellite annual. Taught myself a few new techniques in the process regarding exploding multipolies so that the land masses brought in from a Fractal Terrains export could be managed separately -- but then I had to rescue the inland seas and lakes.

    This is pretty rough. I used the partially transparent forest fill over most of the land as a cheap shortcut. Just wanted to see what I could get done in an hour (though this was closer to two hours).
