Latest Commission Completed
Hi All,
Just finished a large, detailed dungeon map for a client. I've uploaded the GM version to my gallery here: https://forum.profantasy.com/profile/gallery/6719/jmabbott/47
Primarily done in SS4, with some symbols from DD3, a Cosmographer annual - the one with the planet symbols in it and the CSUAC, along with some custom drawing + a piece of art work from the client inserted as a symbol. I made the trap numbering symbols (the adventure uses random generation for a lot of them) and saved them as a catalogue! That was...interesting. I even managed to set them up with a text entry field (for the numeric value) - very advanced for me...
I also provided the client with a player version which made extensive use of the colour key effect on the Wall Mask Sheet/GM Only layer. What I did there was place the Wall Mask sheet below the walls sheet and then drew the colour key polygons where required. I also submitted an unumbered GM version (room numbers on a separate sheet).
All in all, an interesting project with a few creative challenges...
Client was a pleasure to work with and payed promptly, actually before receiving the final copies...
Hopefully, they're happy and give me more work.

Outlaws of Desolation Peak
The latest and no doubt final update! I have a couple of spots left if anyone wants to play - no experience necessary! This is a beginner friendly adventure hosted on Roll20 and Discord. There are 6 pre-generated characters already set up (3 confirmed players so far looking for at least another 2, maybe 3). The game will start at 8.00pm AEDT (UTC+11) Saturday. PM me if you wanna join in the mayhem and I'll send the appropriate links.
The blurb to my regular group:
Howdy Y'all!
Black Jack Ketchum and his Hole in the Wall gang have been terrorising the kindly folk of Desolation Peak, New Mexico and have brought the operations of the Twin Peaks Mining Co to a halt. Brave souls are needed to bring him and his gang of cut-throats in, dead or alive. Will you answer the call?

Howdy Pardners!

The adventure is set in New Mexico around 1871.

Commission WIP!

Commission WIP!
The end draws near...
Still to do:
- Re-draw the farms in the N, they're too small, each should be around 5 acres (my sister and brother-in-law had a small farm at that size and it seems about right) plus add some in the S, SW.
- Number and create a key for the main thoroughfares.
- Add some vegetation to the spar and relocate the building on it to its correct location.
- Adjust the text to make it a bit more readable.
- And Finito!
