  • Britannia (Parchment World)

    We're starting a new campaign for our annual "LakeCon" this year, and the first GM in our round-robin rotation asked me for a map. The setting is an alternate history Britain/Scotland/Ireland, about 150 years after the Romans left. I'm pretty happy with this one. Everything is from the new Fractal Parchment World style, with the exception of the trees - they're from the 2022 Jon Roberts Revisited style. The mist/clouds over the mysterious fae lands of Hibernia were added in post production in Affinity Photo.

    The final map for the group I exported as a layered PDF so that the mist can be turned off if/when we need a clear view of the fae lands.

  • How to Recombine Text

    Thanks, Sue! Multipoly created big black solid squares around each letter (maybe because of the way the font was defined?), but group worked a treat - exactly what I was looking for!

  • What art programs do you use?

    I picked up the Affinity suite (on Sue's recommendation) and have never looked back. Great quality/value.

  • Moon Islands

    I play mostly on Myth Weavers (an online forum designed for RPG) now through the main part of the year. I get together every year in October with a group of friends of 40+ years for a 4 day face to face session mixed with a lot of laughter, great food (we cook every meal together), drinks, and the occasional poker game. We're scattered across the U.S. now, but it's such a great time that some of the group make the 13+ hour drive and a couple of us fly in for it. This past October was the 18th annual "Cabin & Dragon - Spirits of LakeCon" gathering. For our 10th I got an architectural rendering of the cabin where we congregate and did t-shirts (first pic), and for our 15th we designed a logo (second pic). 'Cause, yeah 😁.


    We've jokingly talked about starting a distillery and branding "Cabin & Dragon" bourbon…

    I'd likely be up for an occasional VTT game! I don't have any subscriptions, but could maybe get one or I do have Foundry (which is a one time license rather than a subscription).

  • [WIP] Winter Solstice

    These are great! The only thing I see that might need changing is that the shadows in the nighttime version(s) seem to be going the wrong direction to have been cast by the moon.
