Maps for EncounterPlus
🕑 Added 2020-10-26 20:23:07 +0000 UTCSo there's an app called EncounterPlus, which is an encounter-tracking app. It's like an offline VTT. Basically, it's for people who want to use digital maps and tokens to track their combats, but everyone's in your living room.
Before I go any further, I'm going to save some of you the time: it's for iOS only. Remember 1997, when everything came out for PC and there were like 12 programs for MacOS? Apparently things have changed.
Anyway, I'm not writing this to recommend EncounterPlus. As a PC user, I've never run it, so I can't tell you if it's good or not. However, a patron named Matt C. does use it and created some .module files using my maps. These aren't adventure modules, just maps with the dynamic lighting already set up. I told him I'd share them with you, in case there are more E+ users out there.
You can download the files at the bottom of this post. The maps included are:
- Anchorage Isle
- The Buried Tower
- The Alchemists' Guildhall
- The Crimson Chateau
- The Tusk
- Baron Kelroy's Stately Manor
- Eldfjall
- Burdock's Trading Post
I'd love it if these could be made for more platforms, but, currently, I believe only Encounter+ and Foundry allow you to make downloadable files with the lighting set up in advance. I'm considering making files like this for both platforms in the future, as well as FantasyGrounds when they implement dynamic lighting. Of course, I'd do it for Roll20 if that becomes possible, but I'm skeptical that it will.
I talked to one of the E+ devs, who told me he could make a script that would convert Foundry modules to E+, so... well, being able to set up a map once and convert it for multiple platforms would make doing this a lot more reasonable. Anyway, no promises just yet, but it's something I'm looking into.
