Back in Business! Future Maps and Poll
🕑 Added 2021-08-26 20:32:36 +0000 UTCHey you Pen & Paper fans out there.
I am back from my holiday trip! Me and my wife visited the beautiful City of Interlaken in the Alps of Switzerland! The panorama was breathtaking. But of course you don't care a single inspiration point about where I stay during holiday! You awesome people are looking for more animated maps and sceneries ^^ So let's get started:
2ND RELEASE OF AUGUST
As you remember I asked what to do with the shortened (due to my vacation trip) 2nd release time of August. You voted for me redoing an older map with better visuals (as some of you might remember we had a huge work flow update this year resulting in a way more crisp quality even with lesser file sizes). I am aiming for TWO updated maps but I cant promise since the month is already over =) With the visual improvement I also update the Foundry VTT integration for our Tier 4 Patreons with teleportation, Journals and Point of Interests Teleporters as you have with the latest Ravenloft Maps.
WHAT COMES IN SEPTEMBER?
My obvious goal is to finish the castle so we finally have a huge creepy connected dungeon of awesomeness. After the castle I will give you the opportunity to vote the next area. Wizards of the Wine? Amber Temple? Blood of the Wine Tavern? I think with the amount of feedback during the last poll I can afford giving you the opportunity to decide the Map backlog in the future. So stay tuned for that. With September my Backlog looks like this:
- 2nd Release of August: Visual and Gameplay Update of an already released Map
- 1st Release of September: Ravenloft B2 (YES FINALLY!)
- 2nd Release of September: Ravenloft 4-5F
- 1st Release of October: Missing Ravenloft Parts + Cool Black Carriage travel Animation
CURRENT POLL: HOW DO YOU USE MY ASSETS?
We had a similar poll early this year. But since then so many new faces appeared. I truly want to understand what you are looking for and how do you use my content. So I can adapt to it in the future. Please take two seconds to click the statements you can agree with =) The Poll is below this post. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FEEDBACK
BENEOS TOKENS [link]
For the People who are not aware: Every week I also release animated tokens you can use in your virtual tabletop. For Foundry VTT Leon and I also provide fully prepared Actors with custom abilities, Icons, Lore and cool Journals with an immersive animation. So you can show the monster of every encounter to your players in a way they have never seen before (I am sure!) ^^ Thanks to Beorn we will also update the Beneos Tokens module in the near future to automate attack animations when using an attack, or do a die animation leading to a death animation when the token reaches 0 HP. And with the latest release we also have a walking animation so the token walks to the location you move it in Foundry VTT. All of that will also be presented in a fancy video but that's just as a cool sneak peak. In the future I will release previews of those tokens here as well sporadically.

Until now I did not find a satisfying solution to provide my maps. I played arround with 3D Videos of rooms I could upload on YT and it looked quite promising, but did not came to a degree I would call it production ready yet. Maybe in the future but it has definitely not a high prio.

I project the maps from my iPad myself and draw over them/reveal fog of war via Procreate. I would gladly pay a hefty extra premium to get a playable Unreal demo where I could actually walk my D&D group around Castle Ravenloft in first person, like in your trailers!

Thank you for your feedback <3

I'm not interested in any tokens, as I do all of them myself. I'm definitely interested in all maps in general, but only use them for Fantasy Grounds, so have no need for any Foundry implementation. Thanks for asking!
