@static crest it’s a classic case of lucinatism. The condition where a woman can easily be given the pronoun “he” and be recognizable as somewhat feminine man. (Named after the character, Lucina, fire emblem) this has also been labeled as samus-aranitus
violet furnace
Samus outside of armour is pretty clear.
ancient wyvern
Referring to her original appearance, where all the manual had to say was “he” and everyone was dead-set on Samus bein’ a dude. Until the ending where her identity was revealed
waxen star
@static crest that was my thought. mostly it was the breastplate/shape that gave it away to me

The drawing up there does look more feminine to me though. Kinda like the typical badass warrior woman who is a little masculine in the face

Here's an NPC that I came up with for the campaign I'm doing!

"The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young, blind girl."
"Sounds to me like you're scared, Boulder!"
"The Boulder is over his conflicted feelings, and now he's ready to bury you in a rock-a-lanche!"

YOO I FORGOT ABOUT THE BOULDER
It's decided: His personality will be based off The Boulder

Brilliant!

Oh my god
Yes please!!! The Boulder in DND!
Aaaaah the nostalgia has taken over

do you guys know a good place to buy cheap minis?
steel yoke
Individuals?
If you don't mind unpainted, Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures are fantastic quality and not too hard on the wallet if you know what you're looking for
Beholderthebargains, reaperminis and trollandtoad are online purveyors of individual miniatures as well
If you have a local game shop, they might buy and sell individual minis as well
oblique cargo
One wing left on the Young Green Dragon 😃 What would you say about the scale?
Young Green Dragon is Large. An Ogre is Large as well, with a height of 9-10 ft
He seems just a tad small

Is that their names? Or is it the title of the campaign?

A friend’s rendition of my character from a Sci-Fi DND game we started called A&A (asteroids and aliens)
karmic ermine
@ancient wyvern The tall one goes by "Rose", but the campaign is called "Rose Gold"
because the thieves' guild is called "The Bleeding Rose"
ancient wyvern
Ah, that makes sense
karmic ermine
Yeah, the Aasimar was a late add and they coincidentally named their character REALLY CONVENIENTLY
karmic ermine
Its got a lot of potential! The face has good structure and the proportions are good! @topaz pond
I might add a gradient to the background to make it somewhat less abrasive and go more intense with the shading

That looks like inkarnate.
Dungeon Painter is more for combat/exploration maps, isn't it?

@celest reef by all means please do. I’m painting the young wolf and adult wolf versions too as it will evolve with the player’s level. Shall I tag you on them ?
violet furnace
Gotta catch... a couple of them!
celest reef
@solemn bay yes please 😁
glad nest
Inkarnate is what I use. And thats the second continent in my new world.
Cool thing is cause Im doing it in HD I can mash all the maps together and still be able to zoom in fully to see all the detail.
Im honestly a bigger fan of Inkarnate than the other programs. Its much easier to use and work through and being able to HD your maps works well.,

topaz pond
Name: Kristhana (kris)
Age: 120
Height: 6ft
Weight: 90 pounds
Race: Elf
Class/Occupation: bard and ranger
Backstory: She is a wild child starting fights and acting crazy, the elders didn't know how to deal with her so they gave her a lute to play with and she loved it. Even though she played music, she still joined a military and become an archer there. However, a dragon came when there was peace and killed her people she fought and won. But there was no one left to take care of the land, so she left and joined in with the humans and became a bard singing songs of victory and nostalgia.
Personality: fiesty, sassy, charismatic but nice
Appearance: dark brown hair tied as a ponytail, fair skin and green eyes
thoughts on the backstory
glad nest
Part 1 of the new continent, already been working on it for 3 hours. What could possibly have caused the Shattered Lands?
solemn bay
@celest reef there you go. I hope your daughter likes it 😚
steel yoke
If I had to guess, I'd say raised water levels from melting glaciers/ice caps (from the north) due to a global warming effect
Like, originally it was one landmass relatively close to sea level - but massive warming (maybe even a magical cataclysm) caused a huge amount of heat that melted the ice and raised the water level @glad nest
violet furnace
@solemn bay god, how do you just turn these around so quick? You are amazing 😩
And I’m not tying to kiss your ass, but seriously
steel yoke
OR the icy area to the north was originally an Ice Titan that was slain and fell into the ocean, displacing a huge amount of water and raising the water level that way
hollow helm

violet furnace
It’s like you art like I breathe
solemn bay
@violet furnace hours of training. Years of practice. There’s no secret. It’s just hard work hahaha
But thank you very much
glad nest
@steel yoke It was magical in nature but not from massive heating. More nefarious idea.
violet furnace
I’m glad you’re not shy about sharing.
steel yoke
I'm sure you have a cool reason! I just like to compare magical nonsense with real-world reasons for how island chains form
solemn bay
@violet furnace I was told it is caring ... 😋
violet furnace
Haha
glad nest
Well the land masses there are still hundreds of miles long so much larger than an island, but I do like to keep some sense of realism in how it all happens. But having wild magical reasons too is fun.
violet furnace
But just in general, I’ve always loved watching professionals work
They make it look so easy, but there’s a lot of fascination for me in seeing things get done or take shape
Like I could watch glass blowers or mechanics work all day
wicked yoke
Unfinished, still need to color and add labels, but what do you guys think of this segment of my campaign map?
violet furnace
Looks good
!
@topaz pond That looks almost like it came from some eastern orthodox church
Very similar style
wicked yoke
I just wish you could resize and move things after placing them. I'm afraid the map is too big.
It's going to be pretty much impossible to show any detail.
Actually, I just figured out how to create a map based off the current one.
So all is not lost 😛
glad nest
I end up having to do country maps or small region maps. But could add some extra flare if you wanted that.
wicked yoke
I'm gonna do country maps, but I feel better about making them since I can just create a new map based on the big one that zooms.
glad nest
Thats handy. I end up having to do mine all by freehand and eyeballing it with inkarnate, cause you cant do the based off thing.
wicked yoke
Yeah, Inkarnate was neat, but I switched to Wonderdraft. It's a bit more user friendly to people who aren't artists.
glad nest
Ahhh I see. Im not minding Inkarnate speciall Pro and being able to do HD maps.
wicked yoke
Yeah, I tried it too. But Wonderdraft has this really nice tool to raise/lower the landmass gradually and randomly to make more realistic landmasses, so you don't have to painstakingly imperfect the perfect circles you draw earlier.
It also comes with a neat river and lake tool.
glad nest
Hahahaha but thats part of the fun, painstaking everything you want to do. HAHAHA That sounds cool actually, nice little easy thing. Hay to each their own.
wicked yoke
Oh, there's plenty of stuff to take a lot of detail on.
I just find it's more user friendly is all.
Also no subscription fee.

Anyone know a good place to get condition marker/rings for miniatures??

You might be able to get a response from Matt Mercer on Twitter if you ask him, maybe. I like the ones he uses. Don’t know where he gets them.
lunar wing
Doesn't he just use the rings from drink packaging?
tame arrow
He more than likely paints them himself, but you can do a google search of token condition marker rings and find similar stuff
violet furnace
I wonder how much it would cost to print these

Ahhhh I base coated a xanathar beholder today
In learning how to airbrush minis <3
Theres still washing and dry brushing to do but in happy with it so far.

Thanks!

That... is actually terrifying. 😄
junior kernel
I know, the table is a mess!
halcyon goblet
im still relatively new to dnd but i would love to one day do stuff like this!
junior kernel
There are a couple of great learn to paint kits out there
halcyon goblet
like at art shops or like actual dnd shops?
junior kernel
Actual.local game stores.
I picked up the reaper learn to paint kit and it came with a brush, some instructions, 3 miniatures, and paint in a case
halcyon goblet
awesome, i want to get into dice making aswell if anyone has tips
oh wow thats cool
junior kernel
And both of the Nolzurs marvelous pigments kits come with a mini to paint.
That I'm not sure on, I know you need good quality casting materials or else your dice resin will be tacky
halcyon goblet
yeah thats a worry for me buying the minis and the paint*
but as a package it makes better
junior kernel
Yeah reaper has 3 kits, basics, layers, and blending. They're all 30 bucks and all come with paints, minis, brushes, and instructions
halcyon goblet
woah.
junior kernel
Dont get analysis paralysis watching so many how to videos that you forget to actually do! I love painting and I constantly get better. The blue and yellow on that beholder was me learning how to use an airbrush.
Experiment and play with it. I'll drop another model or two I've worked on recently.
halcyon goblet
that's a great tip! ty!
halcyon goblet
woahhhh
junior kernel
It can be really easy to spend a shit ton of money on the hobby but if you want to learn to paint I can not recommend the learning kits any more. The teach a lot of fundamental basics
waxen star
I assume you mean that in the sense that you "can't recommend them enough" 😛
otherwise it sounds like you used to recommend them but can't do so anymore
lol
junior kernel
Yeah
Well contextually I mean I can not recommend them any more than I already have Haha
waxen star
haha, yeah, I figured that out
junior kernel
But yes. They're cheap enough and impart fundamentals, plus the paints come in dropper bottles which are tons better than the citadel pots.
You can control how much you're using for precise color mixes.
halcyon goblet
yeahhh aahahhai was a lil confused but that makes more sense
junior kernel
I'm learning to airbrush so I can paint the final boss of a campaign I'm running.
That's a regular scale mini in front of that tiamat expy
halcyon goblet
thats huge, lucky party
junior kernel
In one of the campaigns I'm running, we're doing hoard of the dragon queen and rise of tiamat. I'm teaching a bunch of local theater kids how to play.
halcyon goblet
those are modules right, I've never played a module only homebrew games but im keen to know how they play
junior kernel
I rely pretty heavily on modules right now, but that's mainly because it cuts down on prep. I'm running 2 weekly games, a third 2 weeks on, two weeks off, a fourth once per month, and a fifth whenever my partner, her husband, his girlfriend, and I can all get together which ranges from once a week to once a month
I'm also playing a half orc grave cleric in another game. I customize all of the modules, but it saves me writing time.
waxen star
wow, that's a lot
halcyon goblet
thats a smarter way to manage a world, i play a teifling warlock in a homebrew game i play once every 1-2 months due to school stuff and a homebrew zombie, fully customized rules game that i play about 1-3 weeks apart but i loveeee it

If they can get their prices down even by half, I see their sales really expanding.
glad nest
We are looking at 3d printing the minis from heroforge, much cheaper than ordering em and faster as well.
violet furnace
Oh yeah?
glad nest
Yeah its only 10 bucks for the template and you can get a 3d printer for as cheap as 150 bucks (though id go higher). Which works for me cause my wife and I both want one and she is gonna use it for her Breyer stuff.
violet furnace
Ah, I don't plan to get a printer tho
wicked yoke
That’s a nice looking map.
glad nest
Thanks, definitely in love with it

@glad nest @violet furnace you can also look in your city for fab labs. I’m printing mine and my bf’s in a free access printer. I just pay for the materials.
violet furnace
Oh nice. I hear some libraries have 3D printers.
Oooh! Thanks for the recommendation @solemn bay
glad nest
Ohhh thats cool shit. Ill have to look and see if there is ones in my area close by (sure there are I live in a major city). We are still planning for one in late june anyways just cause why not have our own.
violet furnace
Good luck 😄
violet furnace
I wonder how much an avg mini weighs
worthy copper
@glad nest what do you use to make those maps?
glad nest
Inkarnate Pro
worthy copper
is it worth the money?
glad nest
Ohh yeah definitely. I mean even the standard version is pretty well worth it. But for HD maps you can zoom deep in on its worth the money for a year sub. My only grievance with it is that I have to use paint to combine the pictures cause theres no way to do that in Inkarnate. Nor can you copy just a portion of the map. But otherwise its well worth it.
tall compass
ah

nobody has individualised minis down as low as heroforge, it aint getting much lower I reckon

a halfling npc for my next one shot... tried a different drawing style this time, a bit more cartoony. in need of opinions
frigid swan
I am not a professional archer, but I think the way she is holding the arrow, she will hurt herself.
Goes to look up references
frigid swan
oh?
solemn bay
she puts on a brave face but doesn't know jack about archery and is super scared of the adventurers she's gonna meet.
solemn bay
the cut on her face is from a branch slapping her face when she tries to be stealthy before meeting them ...

Thanks Kelban and Thomas! Just love drawing my characters. I wish I got to play them more often hehe
frigid swan
I like how the colors work together. And also with the art style. Can't really give much advise tbh. '^^
steady marten
Ooeh, hows cartoony working out for you Jenga? Its nice to draw in a different style sometimes isnt it?
solemn bay
yeah it's fun. i always try to mix it up but part of me thinks d&d works better with a more traditional illustrative style... but hey. i'm trying.
tame arrow
Depends on the mood you're trying to set for the piece. Based on the character description, the style works very well to convey that
muted rain
I'm trying to create a flat silhouette of each die type. I'm wondering if you all can tell the difference between each?
turbid fiber
d4, d6, d 8, d10, d12, d20
frigid swan
The d10 looks kinda wonky, but other than that, no issues.
turbid fiber
I agree, d10 was the hardest
frigid swan
Maybe try horizontal?
turbid fiber
I was gonna say just pointier
frigid swan
Or try only doing the face, since it has a distinct face from all other dice.
frigid swan
Yeah, basically a sharp teardrop.
muted rain
yeah I thought about that.
so yeah the ten is the hardest I think.
because it's so much like the 8
Better? I'm not convinced.
turbid fiber
it's not obvious, but it's different enough, and if whoever is using it would be able to determine quickly the difference in the dice
muted rain
yeah. I'd want each one to stand on its own without the context of the other types.
For example, I'm not sure that 10 makes sense there.
turbid fiber
that makes sense
though 68 damage on a d6 with a quarterstaff from a wizard is pretty clutch 😛
muted rain
lol
gusty sage
I've been playing Wizards wrong this whole time 😛
muted rain
oh I forgot to put "+65 Quarterstaff" on there. My bad... No wonder you were confused.
turbid fiber
gotcha. I was wondering how he hit with a 5
gusty sage
Must be hitting a wall with a siege quarterstafff
turbid fiber
probably
question though
how do you plan to show when abilities or weapon have additional dice
so when that wizard gets to level 5
and it's 2d10
muted rain
well... My initial thought was that it would just represent the die type and a hover would show the actual formula.
turbid fiber
alright
gusty sage
Also, Flame tongue longsword is 1d8+2d6
violet furnace
Whenever I have seen die silhouettes, they’ve always been out lines… Maybe that is one of the issues here, that just a flat silhouette doesn’t show the sheep recognizably
Shape
muted rain
Also, Flame tongue longsword is 1d8+2d6
That's a good point.
@violet furnace, you might be on to something there. I could outline it. I stayed away from that initially because my fear was it would get to big.
violet furnace
Something to try
muted rain
@gusty sage , what do you think about this one?
gusty sage
Looks great
muted rain
@turbid fiber, does this clear things up?
turbid fiber
It definitely does. It was gonna keep me up at night
muted rain
oh thank god. glad we got that squared away.
So to my original point. We all feel good about that 10 sided in this context?
turbid fiber
yeah

I’ll try try on something later on. Gotta get to work here shortly

A lot of the more popular animes 😂

But yeah, practice makes perfect etc
But don't feel like you HAVE to, either
If it's a hobby, keep it fun

Nothing wrong with anime. I’m near thirty and still watch the occasional anime lol

We have an agreement: I don't expect much from it, and it doesn't disappoint me.
karmic ermine
haha fair
violet furnace
've never seen the original tho
Watched the original dub of DBZ when I was in college
And that's about it
karmic ermine
I watched the original dub with my brother when I was like 5 and then again when I was 12
from db to dbgt
karmic ermine
its terrible and I still love it
violet furnace
Didn't even see all of Z until I watched Kai a couple years ago
ANYWAY, one of the points is, for anyone still paying attention... doesn't matter what inspires you to art, as long as you're inspired
As long as you're enjoying it
Thus ends my preaching.
karmic ermine
Yeah, only reason I said what I did is that when people say "you are so talented, I will never be like that", I correct them because I put in a lot of work and I don't like new artists getting discoruaged.
because I've been that young artist before, and as much as it sucks to hear it, there is no magic trick to getting good at it, you just practice practice practice
violet furnace
Yeh, for sure
I've been dscouraged like that in the past
Seen stuff I've drawn and given up
karmic ermine
I don't have my tablet or a sketchbook right now so I can't draw 😭

Did anyone hear anything? Must have been the wind

One of my main problems is I’ll get frustrated that I can’t get something right, I’ll walk away from it for a bit get distracted then forget what I was actually drawing

my vaguely kobold shaped grave cleric idea. I'm not exactly skilled in drawing clothing and the such yet, so...

Then got incredibly bored and decided to come up with a much better idea
Tree Creak, the Kenku Seeker Warlock.
I promise that I might draw outfits once I figure out how clothing works

Thank yeh,

What kind of pact does your Kenku have? :>
Archfey? Great Old One? ...etc
cyan lily
The Seer
violet furnace
Chicken PCs are like the patron saints of this channel
violet furnace
I like it
cyan lily
That briefcase has a purpose, when it isn't covering him up when I have no idea how clothing works, as the Seeker is a being who travels the planes in search of knowledge and secrets. Inside that briefcase is crystals or some other manner of material that when placed on a surface, essentially is like a marker for the Seeker, letting it know how far Creak has gone and what he has explored
in essence
stone crane
Oooh, sounds nice!
cyan lily
that is, if the DM I play this character with would let me do that, heh
stone crane
Here's my half elven warlock.
Zeruda Lightsorrow, with The Archfey as patron + pact of the blade!
I just need to add her weapon... and cloak
And I hope your DM does! ^^
cyan lily
Though, could someone give me a rough idea of how clothing works? I have an idea but it comes out looking like someone send it through a DM's idea pile and came out so crumpled it looks ridiculous
cyan lily
kind of like... lemme see if I can sketch the vague idea over him on a new layer, give me about ten or so minutes to dig my tablet back out and draw things
stone crane
Sure! :>
cyan lily
Alrighty
His sleeves are supposed to be rolled up sort of, to free his arms, and then just basic shorts, not much I can add with that briefcase there, heh
then, no shoes since he has leelte bird feet
ooh! I wonder if a bandana would look good on him
cyan lily
sort of like a tilted Y ?
stone crane
Sorta like that, yeah!
cyan lily
Alrighty
wicked yoke
What’s in the case?
wicked yoke
Neat. Warlocks are always fun for RP.
I was actually just thinking about how I could add some moral grey into my world and now I have my answer.

Hello! I've read posts of people asking suggestions regarding tokens and paper minis, or cheap minis alternatives.
I've built a free Paper Tokens Generator to easily create and print Monster Tokens, minimal Monster Tents and self-standing Monster Pawns for RPGs and Tabletop games. It's an easy and cheap way to create reusable, lightweight and manageable creatures for your games!
https://paper-tokens.firebaseapp.com/
Enjoy!

Not from your idea, I just had the inspiration as I came home.

So. I came upon a documentary about math, and the subject of nonuclidian gemitry was touched upon.
Imagine walking through this as a dungeon, but the floor never tilts.
Not sure what to do with it beyond being a location for something lovecraftian, feels like a puzzle is waiting to happen, but how to work that out I’m not sure.
flint ridge
Find a puzzle box, solve the puzzle, wind up inside.
Alternately, you took the wrong gem and wake up inside.
cedar bobcat
A puzzle box idea could be pretty intriguing... maybe have a puzzle box that will control the layout of the dungeon to a extent
I just had the TV on in the back and it happened to come on, and I’ll have to look up that temple for some inspiration now
Don’t worry about it ^_^
Mostly it will come down to descriptives I feel, the mechanics would have to be there to help support that.
Should we move over to #dm-discussion as to not Cloag the chat?
violet furnace
@cedar bobcat It's still subject to the perspective of the viewer

Hmmmm... On DDB I created a homebrew Map of All Places that, after attunement and enough practice with and enough luck, can show not just the local area, but any place and time. Admittedly, the idea may be a bit OP, but consider those finger paper puzzle things that grade-school girls mess with and apply that ability to "show something different" to a magical folding map like item. Just by opening and/or folding the correct way it turns into a portal into the maze & possibly a means to alter the maze as well.... a control mechanism of sorts.

@cedar bobcat I have a megadungeon with an arcane, non-euclidean area. You can also add stuff in like if you go through a doorway from different sides you go to different places and stuff like that. It is a fun dungeon piece that will probably drive the players nuts.

Where does one make these tokens? I see them around but I’ve not had the time to set aside and find out how they come to be made

Token Stamp 2 allows you to upload an image and adds the transparent circle to that image. Google 'token generator dnd' and it should be the first result.

Also, Roll20 marketplace has a bunch of token frames if you have a photo editor

Just don't expect free work from starving artists

I think the idea of the 'starving artist' is a bit of an outdated romantic narrative, when really it's "We should pay people for their work"

Nope, if someone offers to do something for me that I am unable to do, but at a price, I'll pay it

Still got to do the d10, but here are some more dungeon paths, this time with the dice set to make it that more inception level.
Thinking right now to make a puzzle system where each dungeon (the each dice side being a room) leads to the next step up the chain.
So solveing the d4 puzzle will lead to the d6, then d8 and so on.
cedar bobcat
Also worked out the thing I had before, might use this one in conjunction with anothe strange shape to try out the concept of layered dungeons when I get a chance
You ain’t alone in that one, figuring out how everything connects will be a pain and a half

solemn bay
You could make it on different levels too. Like 3D chess
cedar bobcat
Right now I’m trying to figure out a challenge that can be done on the first level of it, but I’ll elaborate in the dm section
cedar bobcat
Well, a first level of a folding dungeon is sketched. Need to work on details, but the puzzle feels neat. Introduces the concept in a decent way.
Probably want to set it up as wrong rotated, maybe the shade discarded to the side, and such
Sorry for the terrible handwriting, might need to prepare comprehend languages to get the full picture

That kinda looks like dragonblight

Id say that the fight thought at seeing it is that I would like to explore it, find out more of what the cracks may be. id say its certainly a thing that pulls the eye
turbid fiber
yeah it's not a bad thing. just I've obviously stared at a lot of world of warcraft maps a lot
so yeah
signal sky
The idea I worked with is heat vents that were somewhat sulfuric. Making the water a bit yellowish and having the area smell a ton.
For my campaign i'm planning on having a style of goblin creatures down here that have adapted to the environment and survived off the other creatures down here.
cedar bobcat
something that just crept into my mind, and this might be due to my love for the steampunk aestetic, but a idea to concider: would rock gnomes or other with a inventors inclination seek to use these vents in any way?
signal sky
ooo That is a nice idea! I like it. There's a race of somewhat steampunk creatures down there that would probably try to get the goblins to leave. They aren't a violent type of creature so they'd either try to strike a deal or scare them off.

I’m not sure when I’ll have it all figured out myself, but the dodecahedron puzzle is comming together
Basic idea right now: the rooms will each be able to rotate 72 degrees via a mechanism in their center. They will not have doors in all directions, but the players must line up the doors in a certain way (hinted at by gems over certain doors)
Once all the rooms are aligned correctly they will be able to access the next floor, I’m not sure if I’m looking forwards to making that one or not
Allright. Still need to work in the mechanism, but after a bit of twisting the dials, having marked out the doors they need to align, I think I’ve got it in a state that will work.
Just one extra door right now, to get a bit of confusion
In case anyone else wants to use it, here is the solved version

@wicked yoke There were four. One was off screen in a runaway mine cart still.
They ended the session dragging the unconscious druid out of the mines as they tried to escape before a starving otyugh escaped the collapsed mine shaft the goblins had trapped it in. Fortunately for the party, the otyugh ran off after the sole remaining goblin from the first half of the dungeon instead of the party. It was a 50/50 chance since there were blood trails in both directions.
And even with disadvantage on all rolls and half speed, the otyugh (three levels of exhaustion from starvation) was a major threat. I'm gonna figure out later if the rest of the goblins can manage to slay it before it is sated and finds a quiet spot to rest and recover.

@dry radish the best way to get the effect you want is (1) print it out at like 10% darkness (so the lines are very faint) and then trace over the lines with a brush pen, then scan it back in if you need it digitally, or (2) same thing but in photoshop/GIMP, create a new layer, trace over the lines with a variable width brush, then delete the old layer.

colour the map @dry radish it will look a lot nicer

or you could overlay a faint parchment texture, but you'd probably need to make the map lines darker

Rosie: the first method is way too much work. I like the second method 😃
neon peak
That was just a quick pass in photoshop
@dry radish Is it something like this you're looking for?
Actually this one is slightly better
lucid nacelle
does any body has experience with creating there own fillable character sheet as pdf?
neon peak
what software do you have access to? Word, Photoshop, Adobe DC etc?
lucid nacelle
yea thats all, but no premium version from DC
neon peak
So you can make form fillable PDFs in word
Make your sheet in photoshop or whatever, then import it as an image to word
There are tutorials out there for that stage, it's a fairly simple but monotonous process
lucid nacelle
well i never tried, and in my head i have kinda the feeling that i have to aling the Word text lines to my PH picture
neon peak
You draw boxes, which can be easily alligned to the fields on your sheet
lucid nacelle
oh, that doesnt sound like a big deal
neon peak
Nope
You just have to create each and every field
It can get more involved if you want things like radio buttons for skills
neon peak
That's possible, just more work
lucid nacelle
hmmm, i kinda have some problems with all this. mostly everyone is telling me that i need adobe acrobat pro. And it kinda makes sense.
i do have the developer mode in word, where i can do some checkboxes and stuff but as soon as i export it as pdf, you cant interacte with them
maybe u can tell me, wich tools do you use for this? i kinda feel a bit lost xD
neon peak
I haven't tried it since my pro license for acrobat expired
Sorry
You might have to source a different piece of free software 😦
lucid nacelle
alright, yea no worries. i just gonna trie more with word. and if i fail i probably gonna get a free trial of acrobat
neon peak
If you can prep everything in word first
you should be able to get the most out of the trial

That seems like it would be more appropriate to a different channel
neon peak
They were talking in a different channel
one that doesn't allow images
but you can't share background info with public character sheet links
Hence screenshots
violet furnace
ah
midnight girder
Yeah wasn't sure where to post it
this seemed the most appropriate out of the options
idk
quasi crown
iirc, I think you can share background info if you use the address bar for a link instead of the provided shared link

You can upload a screenshot using an image hosting service, such as Imgur, and share the link to the appropriate channel. This channel is for sharing of arts and crafts. Thank you very much! 😄

my little tiefling's most treasured possession ... the last image left of her parents (yes i KNOW a polaroid is a stretch in the d&d universe but wth i wanted to draw it that way haha)
opaque kraken
you can also upload stuff directly to discord :)
agile rock
@solemn bay Looks great! And extra nice effects on the polaroid for dimension.
solemn bay
@agile rock thanks ! yeah figured i'd give it a try for flavour 😋

Word to the wise: don't draw from a deck of many things, or your thief might have to spend an entire session pick pocketing, bartering, and staging a heist to buy all of their stuff back.

So I made this for my players on their first session last Friday, none of them had played before, they were stoked lol.

That is so cool! Excellent work on that prop

Thanks! It's SO easy to make these letters, all you need to do is a couple of steps:
-Write the letter and print it out
-Soak it in Tea for about 5-10 minutes (gets yellower depending on how strong the tea is)
-Blow dry it
-Throw some regular candle wax on it for stains if you want
-Then sealing wax with a seal, voila! You have an old school parchment letter
modest gyro
Wow lol thanks for the tip tired of fresh looking letters
harsh basalt
Yeah if you have all the supplies handy (mainly the sealing wax) it's a 20 minutes process lol
modest gyro
no sealing wax but letters looking like that is enough
shady or treasure kind of messages dont need seal anyway
harsh basalt
Well if you every decide to do the seal, you can get sealing wax at hobby lobby for 5 bucks
harsh basalt
I would imagine any crafts shop will have it
modest gyro
probaly, thanks anyway. You just improved my rp game
harsh basalt
No worried friend!

(for myself I found someone else's work to overhaul the prices of magic items so things were more sane and that's generally close-to-right, or at least the modifications that I have to make are much smaller)

So I'm looking into buying a 3D printer to print out minis, does anyone have any experience with that and is this a good 3D printer to buy?
heady fractal
@strange birch - this dndbeyond discord either needs to allow posting pictures in general chat or needs a dedicated channel that allows for posting pictures
that is the only reason why i've had to use this channel, although i intended to delete it afterwards but seems i forgot.
oblique cargo
@harsh basalt it's a jungle with 3d printers. You can get cheaper without loosing quality, and i would generally recommend that you do and then maybe upgrade if it's your thing. I recommend you check out Fat Dragon Games channel Tomb of 3D printed horrors, on YouTube, for some hands on.
One thing, you probably don't need an enclosed printer for printing PLA. That will save you pretty much.

@heady fractal Suggest it in #moderator-support?

Personally I've had decent results on my Wanhao Duplicator i3 mini (of which monoprice has a twin)
