Thinking about a Halloween one-shot? Here, have this graveyard map!

I think I'm going to make a Shadowdark one-shot using it, but I might also just fold it into my OSE hex-crawl campaign

Vampire in the mausoleum, scavenger hunt for the 3 keys to open it. All Undead random encounters. Hell Yeah.

So I ran my Appx N Jam entry, The Chained Colossus, for my local friends last night using OSE

What I was hoping would be 2-3 sessions of intrigue, sabotage and faction play turned into 1 5hr session of "YOLO!! Rush the Colossus"

Here's the map on Foundry at the end of the night

So it looks like I have a bunch of choices. Shot out a email about running multiple services on this server to nixi.

For all my digital map illustrators

I had to make a 600dpi hex grid pattern fill for a project I'm working on and so I'm dropping it here

Should work in every digital art program, just look up how to import images as patterns

Just use the pattern fill tool options to adjust the sizing

"Blackrock Outpost serves as a vital trading and defensive stronghold along the critical trade route connecting the city of Greyhawk to Urnst. Its position enables it to act as a commercial hub for merchants and caravans and as a bastion against the dangers lurking in the hills."

So I design directly in an art program. Often this stuff will get copied into Obsidian as markdown which ive found copy-pastes pretty well into Affinity Publisher from reading mode and can be dropped directly into Foundry

But I can start to figure out visual design this way extremely quickly
