  • Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas repairs.

    There's just 3 updates.

    Do note that some updates managed to "break" previous maps, so if you want to have the best version of all maps, you might have to save a handful of maps before aplying each update. To figure this out, your best bet is to follow Don's advice above (after visually comparing them all). This was Don's last post:

    My effort (currently stalled) is based on listing all entities, paste them into a text file compare tool, and try to figure out the differences. But I haven't done much in a long time (it becomes tedious quite quickly). I uploaded an XLS file with my findings here:


    The last column in the roflo1 sheet is called "cherry-pick" and advises which version of each map is best. Empty cells mean I haven't compared them. Oh, and do know that many rows are hidden: those that are identical in all updates. There's a few other sheets where I'd paste results from DonV or thehawk, to make sure I wasn't missing stuff.

    My DM is interested in the area top left of Toril the Ice Flow area not anything really linked there. There are not any updates for that area or resources that I can use to create more detail for that area and provide to the community?

    I don't think anything exists yet. At least not officially. I haven't found any detailed maps in any of the updates.

    Well, @Steven Nentwig (Steven!) I think the time spent drawing maps is time well spent.

    But if you want to get the "best" (or working) versions of each map in the FRIA... this is what this thread has been all about. I haven't updated my personal XLS in a while, but I'll still drop it here in case someone finds it useful:

    The 6600 Thri-kreen Village Below Ground.fcw map was introduced in update1, but was then corrupted by update3, so you could grab either it from up1 or up2.

    I don't think the maps for Caverns below Haptooth Hill, The Tower of Dracandros, nor Gothyl's Tower were actually drawn for FRIA.

    But back to your maps... I like them very much. Thanks for sharing them.

  • What’s your VTT of choice?

    I'm one of the Astral expats. I hadn't paid much attention to VTTs for ages: just relying on printed maps, pencil & paper, or GIMP on the few occasions I had a PC at hand. But then came the pandemic and I started playing with two cousins (we live nearly 1000km from each other)... it simply dawned on us that we might as well take advantage of the acquired familiarity with virtual meetings.

    Did my research and landed on Astral (I already had an account, but hadn't really used it). It had a great free tier, but I could still purchase a subscription when I could afford it. I still miss it.

    I haven't seen the latest Roll20 interface. I was invited 10 months ago to a private preview for the new-and-upcoming Roll20 interface.. perhaps this is it, but I haven't even logged in lately. Might do that today, seeing as my game was cancelled.

    To replace Astral, I landed on Owlbear Rodeo for maps, Discord (+bots) for chat and dice, and cloud-shared fillable PDFs for character sheets (or D&DBeyond for when 5E is the system being played).

    On a couple of occasions this year, I've even launched OBS studio to share my CC3+ screen as a camera and just draw live.

    Hi!

    Fedora 36 ships with wine 7.2, not wine 7.12. Fedora 37 ships with wine 7.12. Was there a typo in your message or did you really get it (specifically the installer) working with wine 7.12?

    According to my dnf logs, I installed wine 7.12 back in August 2022, about a week before my previous post above. So yeah: 7.12 is correct.

    Right now I have 8.4-1, still on Fedora 36 (I should upgrade). CC3+ still works on 8.4-1, but I haven't tested reinstalling from scratch.
