Wow - my frankenthing really does look very good by the time you finished with it! Great job. It's great to see it used in such a wonderful way. I'm a huge fan of handouts. Thanks for posting up these images.

Jack!
Working on the old Minotaur temple of gardmore - map is a bit bigger than the other so i am splitting it into two parts. I've come to the red and blue checkerboard arena portion and was wondering if you could give me some tips on how you colored those squares? here is my 2nd map so far. yours are still much "cleaner" than mine but hopefully the more i do, the better i'll get :-)
Kept playing with it and this is what i came up with - i still like your map better - i dig the floor texture in yours.

Thanks Kenny,
I'm not that happy with the way I did the chessboard on that map. But here it is anyway: here's the completed map.
Here's the floor only.
Here's the colours only (.png). These are on grain merge. I used a layer mask with a plasma cloud to get the faded look.
Jack,
Good tip, i never thought of using the plasma cloud! will have to play with my chessboard a bit more. I think i need more shadows in my map as well to make it more gloomy. Do you have the Minotaur statue saved? i spent about an hour playing with the original image to make it look statue-esque but it still looks pretty craptastic.

I think i may have got a working version of the Minotaur statue together...here is my combined Vaults part II Map.

of course your lighting is on another level than mine.
Wow! I wish I could have printed these as the floors for my run of the Dining Room and the Temple - They would have looked great under these encounters!Originally Posted by Kennyt
very nice job on the 3D! how did you like the adventure altogether? i am gonna actually start DM'ing mine come April.
Thanks on the kudos Jack - your maps are still the benchmark i am aspiring to though!
Thanks Kenny.
I agree completely with Randall - I tried MaGA due to the great reviews, found that running the game was amazingly easy despite the fact that the module is a sandbox, not a linear plot, and overall me and my players really enjoyed it. Our game was play-by-post and you can see it here Madness at Gardmore Abbey on RPoL.
Great power cards Randall.
I scanned your RPoL game, I love reading and hearing about folks' run of the same adventure and noting how similar the players and GMs interpretations are (and where they are different.)
So far, every party I've heard of thought to skin the displacer beasts - even those that (like mine) didn't yet know about the potential utility, nor special call-outs in the module that it was possible.
Great run!
No, but I'd say all I did was to put a rock texture over the minotaur drawing on 'grain merge'. Your map is looking really great -well done.Do you have the Minotaur statue saved? i spent about an hour playing with the original image to make it look statue-esque but it still looks pretty craptastic.
