July Challenge: Hebbie's Ale House

[SeerBlue]

I think I am going to go with a less rectangular map, as a secondary use for this is I am going to get it printed, laminated, and mounted on art board for the FHCO's to use, and kids always want every thing equal, so square it is.
Their player character pictures are actually going be pockets that hold little reference cards for their players short history, simplified stats, and the like.
Tokens for their characters and tokens for their special ability ranges will need to find a home, as will the disc with all the files to re-do the playboard as needed. Can you picture a flying squirrel/armadillo mix that has 2 spines which injects a liquid brain washer.

Good thing I read a few other mappers posts, I definitely don't know my east from my west.

Sooo, while waiting for the FHCO's I drew out a new floor plan for Hebbies Ale house that conforms to the challenge, and sorted out east and weast (spongebob and patrick, anyone). I also found loads of new ruby scripts for sketchup, new to me, which will assist them , like line to multiwall, draw a line, click, click, there is your wall.
So all they have to do is follow the floor plan somewhat and they should be good to go.

As that is as much as I plan on helping them with, though I may have to build the spiral staircase for them, I started making some example tokens for them..very simple, FHCO Snappie style, which depict "their" characters, who may or may not be in the Ale House the night of the Ambush.
I have also condensed a bit of the characters histories/traits into a document in case they are in the Ale House, and offer info or assistance.

This is Lemur's token, and there is a bit about Lemur near the end of the Snapgallows thread in the CWBP, it's a pan flute and drum she plays about Snapgallows, collecting coppers during the day,,,,she is only three or four after all. here is a very small bit of Lemur info, post 37
Its not scaled or anything, will need to see how big of a map they make before doing that.

Here be the token for Bumblemouse, my daughter, she travels about West Fentor and is commonly known as "that old woman with the purple bow topped wagon, you know, the one who tells old stories at Harvest Burning", but Bumblemouse is shorter. Just a bit of a long tale is found in the annotations to this tale at the CWBP

Snappers have long since given up trying to suss out just who Bumblemouse is, or what she does beyond tell stories and purchase vast amounts of sweets from Nils the Sunderer.
But there is much more to this old wanderer than meets the eye. Which of course will be in the aforementioned document when done.

yet another, though this one is an NPC, as far as the FHCO go.
Introducing Odduck the Grand (pronounced Odd Duck).

Odduck the Grand, Snapgallows resident Wizard who can often be found seated near the middle of Hebbie's topboard, betwixt Nils the Sunderer and the clay jars of sweets. If Odduck is in residence, his current pet, a Pintailed Duck named "Nort", will be seen resting atop the shelving behind the topboard, yelped limestone shelving which holds Hebbie's flavored Tatershine bottles.
Odduck was once a powerful caster, but his mind went south and he knew it was time to remove his hat, and retire, when he last tried conjure a simple flame to lite his piping tamped full of "Rusty Mallard" leaf, and promptly incinerated his then current duck companion, Wonk, the Mallard.
Odduck, who is rather stooped and bald to boot, will now only cast in the direst of emergencies....though he can still teach, he can't do.

Well I added some more tokens, the new ones on the right are for the troublemakers, sons of the Seven Families, I will write it up tomorrow night, storms a coming in now, a rowdy hurrah to the first person who can tell me what the thing sitting on the tile flooring, which is identical for each of the sons of the Seven Families is, and why....though you would have to know a little Snapgallows history to figure it out, me thinks

Your tokens look full of character. Great work Seerblue!
