  • The Gorgon's Head: A beer hall where gnomes get their own room

    Thanks DaltonSpence. I added the Jakes and a small fireplace to the main room. The world is a high magic environment, there are simple spells that can mask things like strong odors that are powered by ley lines.

    The stairs go up, not down but I liek the idea of adding a basement with a kitchen as well

  • The Gorgon's Head: A beer hall where gnomes get their own room

    I needed a city location for my players to meet a gnome who belongs to an organization that "acquires" unique and valuable "stuff". Might add a small kitchen in the lower left corner later but for now it's just a place to meet, drink and arrange contracts.

  • An ambush site - Forest Trails Style

    JulianDracos,

    First, thank you. Most of the credit goes to the software and LoopySue for creating the styles.

    The river is on three sheets (see below), all of which are in the Forest Trails style. 1 - riverbed 2 - water 3 - deep water. The white lines are an additional water contours sheet. Shessar has a great tutorial on contours (Writtent tutorials/shessar's battlemats/contours) that can be applied to white lines over water to make "foam" that suggests turbulence.

    The rest is just sheet effects. Draw "river" Most common sheet effect is edge fade inner with reduced inner opacity to 60-80%. It's personal preference. Copy river to Riverbed sheet (Copy to sheet - right click copy button) and change the Fill to Terrain, default Riverbed. (Change Properties - right click & select change fill style). Change sheet to Deep Water and add the darker water. Typical Sheet effects are Edge Fade Inner with the inner opacity adjusted until I like the look (40% seems to work well). I usually add Blur as well to make the dark water more difuse.

    Add sheet Dark Water Contours. Set Default colour to white, line width to 0.2 or 0.3, and use the Smooth Path tool (RHS tool bar) to draw the lines. Per Shessar's tutorial, add Blur effect to sheet and play with the Blur Radius until you like you like what you see.
