The Flying Rook - Patrons' Edition
🕑 Added 2021-10-09 18:45:34 +0000 UTCThe Flying Rook is the sort of place wizards build to show off. Anyone with the power to keep this architectural Frankenstein standing is no joke, but-- just in case anyone wasn't fully convinced-- they made it fly as well.
I didn't have any particular purpose in mind when I added the windmill, but, the more I think about it, the more I'm wondering-- and hear me out here-- what if it was a propeller? Like, what if this whole thing was kind of an airship? That's not for everybody's game, of course, but it's an idea you could roll around in your head if you want to do something a little different.
So, now that we've got that 13-story building taken care of, I'll be moving on to something considerably bigger. Naturally.
As I mentioned before, I'll be drawing Fort Bourtange, a magnificent 16th century star fort and grapeshot dispensary in the Netherlands. It's a big place, but I believe it's all one level, so it shouldn't take an unreasonable amount of time. I think I might get it done by the end of the month, but I don't want to make any promises.
I'll be making an unfurnished version of the map as well so you can use it as a village instead of a fort if you prefer. And it actually was a village for a few centuries, so that's not a stretch.
Well, I've been champing at the bit to get started on this map for a couple months now, so I think I'm gonna go do that. Let me know what you think of the Rook!

The picture is the web version. You can download the VTT versions from the file attached at the bottom of this post, but since you use Foundry, you should just update the Foundry module, which contains the Flying Rook and has all the walls/doors/lighting data in it. Unfortunately, it still has to be manually re-installed to update it, but I'm told it will update normally when v9.0 comes out.

Question on this - is the VTT version meaning it is set up with walls, doors, lighting and such for FVTT? If not, when does that usually happen?

Thanks, I think it turned out pretty well myself.
