  • Ideas and Wishes for Monthly Dungeon Symbols

    I am so glad you asked, because you know I've been keeping lists! You can check out some of my ideas in this thread, but here's a recap of some highlights:

    Interior

    • Thrones - Ornate metal and stone; "elven" (wooden with art nouveau flourishes); "evil" (skulls, spikes, etc.)
    • Regalia - Crowns; scepters; orbs
    • Couches - Both "regular" and Roman-style (I think SS4 only has chairs that I make extra wide for couches)
    • Mage/Sage Furnishings - Globes, astrolabes
    • Ornate Staircases - Maybe modular so you can construct your own (left, right, and center for bottom, middle, and top, in stone and wood, with and without varicolor carpeting)
    • Musical Instruments - Upright and on their side (lutes, harps, harpsichords, drums)
    • Ancient Tombs - Think Indiana Jones-style stuff, like idols

    Exterior

    • Gardens - Varicolor flowers, rose bushes, berry bushes, exotic/carnivorous plants
    • Tiltyard - Quintain, pell, horse armor
    • Topiary - Bushes trimmed to form the shape of animals and mythical creatures
    • Statues - Riding and standing free. Royalty plus archetypical character types (sword fighters, archers, mages)

    Building Construction

    • Flagpoles - Upright and on their side, separate from flags for flexibility
    • Flags - Varicolor top-down and on their side
    • Gargoyles and Grotesques
    • Clocktower - Clock hands on side of building; bells for belltower
    • Spires
    • Façade Ornamentation - I don't know the proper term, but here are some pics I took to illustrate

  • Dragon sheet

    I blame my eyesight and my refusal to get proper prescription glasses. Even though I often click on every symbol to see it closer, I don’t recall doing that with the dragon, so I only saw the thumbnail preview. I would absolutely have used it on my dragon landing pad on my Sea Elves Harbor.

    Never mind, I see it in Marine Dungeons. How funny that I've never noticed that one before, given how much I've used that brass inlay and keep hunting for dragon inlays. I think I thought it was an insect.

  • Dragon sheet

    Oh, I see. In order to do the brass inlay, the brass sheet would be over the rest of the image. Now I'm following. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution. That's a great dragon, by the way! Is it a standard CC3+ symbol or is it your own?

    The trick Sue taught me was EXPORTSETMPPP 40000000 (that's 40 million).

    Is your dragon a magenta or varicolor symbol? I'm trying to wrap my head around what it's doing.
