What is the easiest way to write text on the "Burning aged paper"? Can i use the Dynamic Dungeons Editor to do that?

Rob Leonard

This rocky map with the swirling shadows is great...thanks! :)

Arman

Can we possibly get the Misty Dungeon Gridless version? Thank you so much for all your efforts.

Arman

Great idea. Have you considered remakes of classic RPG maps? Specifically there is a game called Arena the Contest (https://boardgameco.com/blogs/reviews-impressions/arena-the-contest-surprisingly-deep-yet-surprisingly-accessible). Would be amazing to use an animated MAP on this game. I am going to tentatively try and put one together using either this map or the pieces from the modular dungeon tiles. The only thing I'll have to figure out is the hit point tracker around the edge.

Benito Garcia

Amazing idea!!!!!!

Shaun Goddard

Does this on mine from time to time. If I press ctrl 2 it will load the player on the extended screen as it should. Hope that helps

I would like to see some sort of indoor patchwork wood flooring (unless I missed it somewhere).

Richard Keeney

That would require a program, not possible with a MP4 file.

Urdu Yu

Thanks Richard. That's the problem, it's on extend ... but the player flickers for a second on the TV/extended display, then opens black on the laptop. I can't even grab the player's screen and drag it to the extended display on the tv. Even tried dragging just the icon for the player to the tv and leaving it there. Any ideas? Thanks much.

Richard Keeney

I'm talking the m4v files, not the static jpg or png files... I need to make the video/dynamic maps work with the 50 MB limit

Richard Ogle

You can shrink them down by using one of the stock WIN 10 apps like Paint 3D, Photos, or just "edit" and select anything that stats "re-size"

Richard Ogle

Sounds like a PC issue and not a software issue. Are you duplicating the screen or extending. I have used several laptops to TV and the software has always found the "non-main' screen to extend too. On that note, make sure you are on the main and the map is extending to the second.

Rookie question: First off, the maps are awe inspiring for new players. My problem: I have a laptop connected to a TV. I open editor and now all I want (for now) is to place a still map in one story box. Fine. I turn on fog of war (have tested this with it off as well). Save it. Press "Play this story", it looks like the player goes to "2" the TV ... manager is small and stays on the laptop. I can use the mouse to reveal fog of war on the laptop (this is all I really want for now to be honest). BUT - the TV is black - all through this process. Sorry for the newb question, I did look around but the video doesn't specify about things like "setting laptop to extend" etc. The faq didn't help and, although there are great comments here, I just didn't see an answer. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Urdu Yu

Desperate for an answer so I thought I would add this here as well ... basically, if I could find a way to have player open automatically on the "extended" TV screen and not be black ... that would be great.

Astral VTT has a limit of 50 MB, what is the best way to convert those over 50 MB?

Daniel Greenberg

TIL Google Drive is dopey. The zip downloads can fail due to the unintuitive nature of the download steps. After Google Drive zips the files, it posts a Leave site pop-up with two options — leave and cancel. It looks like the zip download will cancel if you click on the Leave button, so the right choice would be to on Cancel to cancel Leaving. But that’s wrong. Pressing the Cancel button stops the downloads. As strange as it may sound, you have to click on Leave. Doing that will start the download process of the zipped files. Huh? Leave what? Maybe you should note that for users who don't use Google Drive and are unfamiliar with its bizarre pop-ups?

The fluttering parchment would be great to create a map that slowly exposes to the players like this is their actual reference map.

Ryan Hipp

@Tamas - would LOVE LOVE LOVE templated spell effects like cones and circles for things like Fireball, Fairie Fire, wall of ice etc

Ryan Hipp

These are perfect for so many situations where you just beed a thematic large battleground.

Josh Shire

I would love to see a parchment style one like the burning one, but not burning. Maybe it could just flutter in the breeze a little, or be lit by a flickering flame of a candlestick in one corner...!

BrotherHanan

I agree with @Timothy Nielsen! If each set came with pre-made GIF for Roll20 as well as an under 60 sec MP4 so we could stream it via Imgur to use with VTT Enhancement Suite on Roll20, that would be epic. Then I wouldn't have to edit each map to make it shorter and transition before I could upload it to imgur

BrotherHanan

Desert sandstorm would be cool, with sand violently whipping around

Taf Richards

I'd love to see a dungeon floor without tiles to make it easier to add and resize a grid on top! Using a grid added in the Player app, plus the tiles on the dungeon floor map becomes quite confusing. Just a plain stone dungeon floor would be perfect.

Philippe Boujon

Swamp would be great

Philippe Boujon

Would it be possible to get griddless static burning paper?

Lou Anders

Very cool. Suggestions - frozen lake, desert sands/dunes, snowy plain, volcanic rock

Timothy Nielsen

These are great! If you are looking for content suggestions, the beach/shoreline seems a natural progression from the ship. and much of my campaign is currently in tundra/glacier area.. But.... Lots of people are running via Roll20 due to social distancing. If I use animated backgrounds like yours, I convert them to an optimized animated GIF, and one under 6MB to get in under the upload limit of Roll20. If I had a suggestion at all, it's to create animated backgrounds, even tiled ones, for that situation.

Lawren Nemeth

These are fantastic!

michael j grimes

As to suggestions, a swampy or boggy with mists and rain. Since you are able to do the fire effects on the parchment map a dry grasslands (both foggy and rainy) but with a fire 🔥 burning through the grass like a prairie fire. Any natural landscape but with snow effects. A glacier or ice field. Sea floor or coral reef map. A volcanic lava field map. Desert map with light mist options and blowing sand (just lightly moving the sand across the dunes or a full on sand storm).

Electro

Love these all. Grass lands, desert with blowing sands are a few that spring to mind. Also have the clouds/fog traverse the map, not just on the edges.

michael j grimes

These are just spectacular, and will be incredibly useful in the campaign im starting in a week.

Dane Rickett

This is just incredible and probably the most useful type of animated grid map imo. The burning aged paper is officially my new go-to for impromptu maps in the Avernus-themed campaign I'm running. If I'm being nitpicky I would ask for the fog/clouds to be a bit less towards the center, revealing a bit more of playable grid space. As far as new ideas, I'd love to see meadows, grasslands, , swampy, sandy (beach, desert, badlands), cobbles (overgrown/ruined and not), water (ice/tundra, shallows, deep water), lava/molten), etc. These are excellent and excited to see more!
