Map Suggestion + Digital Card Creator
🕑 Added 2019-05-20 17:14:01 +0000 UTCHey Folks!
I've been keeping super busy taking on all sorts of new experiments to introduce here on Patreon, including stuff like the custom magical items and teaming up with more Front-End Developers to create nifty tools for you to play around with.
As you now I've already been in touch with several developers creating mapmaking software, which is very complex stuff and takes time to create a proof of concept for, working with people who already have full time jobs so it's a slow and steady climb. What's new though is that I've also put to work another developer to help me create a creature card creation tool, based on my creature companion, that will allow users (meaning you fine folk) to create their own simplified creature cards using the icons I've created (and much more). The goal is to be able to export these cards you create in your browsers for both digital use on your phone, or print if you'd like to enjoy them at the table. It's a fun little side project, of which you can see the first wip in the screenshot below.
Now I'm also right on the curb of getting started on my workload of dungeon maps for this week (outside of the ones I've already made for the basic dungeon) and I had a question I wanted to throw your way.
I've been thinking of experimenting with outdoors type of modular tiles and maybe as an interlude instead of doing the buildings inside the fragmented dungeon this month, doing these outdoor modular tiles would add a bit of variation to our map portfolio for you to play around with. In the end I'm still wanting to build that random map generator and trying out tiles for these outdoors sections would really be an interesting experiment for it.
I'ts up to you what is up next in the end, so vote down below for what you'd like me to start working on and I'll upload a next poll to talk about the first set of tiles in the themed set of this month.

I'd reread this comment a couple of times because I couldn't figure out what exactly you were asking, but I only now realize you are talking about the pinterest board I use. Sure I think I can share it, I guess I need your pinterest account email for that if I'm not mistaken...

yoo that outdoor folder looks awesome btw is that a good ol' share that can be followed?

No matter the outcome I definitely think that is still on the table though. I just think that a bit of variation is also always great to work with. I think if the vote ends up being pretty close that I'll just do the buildings inside the dungeon next month or at least do a mix to include them in for next month. Or the other way around

I really liked the idea of buildings in the dungeon but looks like that isn't going to happen now looking at the votes so far.
Would LOVE to see more outdoor maps.
