POLL - Contributor Artwork

Hey everyone! I just put out a post outlining a couple of changes to the release schedule for the rest of 2020. You can see that information HERE.

This poll is to see what other kinds of artwork you would like from contributing artists for the last release of each month in October, November & December.

You can choose as many as you like, and as there will be 3 contributing artists, I will commission one of each from the top 3 chosen. These artworks will match my style as much as possible, and will tie into the world we are creating. After the individual types of artwork are chosen, we will have another poll for specific themes.

This poll will end on Sunday September 6th

It would be nice to have a map for Daern Instant Fortress. It is that rare item that can be an instant fortress that players may just drop for damage but sometimes they may want to use it for refuge or tactical and will need to actually go inside it.

If you don't mind the suggestion, Tom, the BIG thing that we're still missing in the town/city department is the full interior of a castle. I'd like to suggest that be a project that gets split up into smaller 'sections', multiple maps that could represent parts of a whole. I'm thinking specifically like the interior of the castle for the pc rpg, Kingmaker. You could have one person do an elegant indoor dancing hall (this more than anything else), one could do a sprawling lobby and reception area, one person make an armor/treasure room with a puzzle lock, one person could do a connecting wizard's tower and large stables, and so on. Hope the move and the meager time off helps!

A transit map and details of Lightning Rail trains

A set of better detailed maps of Barovia would be fantastic

Mike

I'd love to see tokens for spell effects. walls of fire, force cages, and so on. sometimes it's nice to have a spell effect rather than just dropping a circle onto roll20.

Callum Hiscock

Oooooh baby. Yup, that sounds good! Want.

BrotherHanan

Yeah, that would be the idea!

Tom Cartos

What exactly are perspective illustrations? Does that mean you will accompany battlemaps with non-aerial view art? If so, that sounds awesome!

BrotherHanan

I'd love to see a side view of a cliff face or outer wall of a tall building. The battle takes place on a vertical wall with very little depth. Players may go up, down, left, or right, climbing or jumping to ledges, nests, cave openings, windows, or the very top.

I voted for Town map, but if you guys are planning on 'only' showing the "rooftop variant" You may disregard my vote as it wouldn't matter to me which ever was chosen

Elvolganta

I would choose everything, but big cities are underrepresented in fantasy art, so this is my main vote.

AyuVince

I voted for city map, but really any buildings or sets or buildings that are unique to intensely urban settings — such as row houses and/or shops, perhaps along an alley — would be very useful. Also urban bridges, such as those in old Paris. Or an urban island district. So many possibilities ....

Craig Hicks

Agree with above comments about unlabeled maps if the idea is a collection of useful maps. If it's more of a thematically linked set or an adventure, what about a large scale map - like world of continent - showing locations, and then zoom-ins of specific sites. Like something crashing down from space and leaving similar debris in several locations, or a massive leyline pattern and then smaller nodes, something that would require travel but then be similar once PCs get there.

Brian Guerrero

I second tokens. They're currently my biggest struggle.

Violet_Valkyrie

I suggest tokens! You can never have too many tokens!

Francois Labrecque

Perspective illustrations would be amazing, so we can set a scene before the players fight on it

GloriousGe0rge

+1

Doof

Unlabeled town/city/region/world maps would be amazing. I use your work in my homebrew setting almost weekly, but anything with labels rarely works for me.
