I've never run that exact setup before - when I played in person I used a TV but with digital tokens that the players could move (shared mouse to move them). There are a few different VTTs (or add-on modules for VTTs) that are specifically for in-person play with virtual maps.

2025-08-25 14:48:53 +0000 UTCThank you so much for the additional information on importing to Arkenforge. I am running in person games with miniatures but using electronic battlemaps on a TV gameboard. What software have you found the easiest to use.

2024-07-28 19:06:17 +0000 UTCI'm not super familiar with Maptools. If you are using the "Roll20" image files, I would use 70px or 140px depending on whether its the R2F (70) or R2P (140) version. If you are using the "Foundry" dd2vtt files, 100px. The canvas size can be referenced from the file name (ie. yawning portal is 26x29 grid cells.)

2024-07-28 13:50:42 +0000 UTCFirst of thanks for all the amazing maps here. I do have a question about gridsize. We use Maptools for our group, what gridsize would you recommend for a map like The Yawning Portal?

2024-04-17 21:13:07 +0000 UTCHello, I paid for the subscription, but don't know where or if i can get the download link for the map collection. Could you help me out?

2024-04-17 21:12:14 +0000 UTCYes - VTT's typically include walls and each player token has a view unique to their character. It's more like a video game in that regard, where each person on their own computers logs in and can see what their character sees. My maps are primarily targeted to VTTs. If printing and using them in person I would suggest covering un-explored areas and revealing as players open up new rooms. If playing virtually but not on a VTT (or in person with 1 common TV or something), I'm sure there is a creative way to do this. I'd suggest looking into VTTs if the budget allows though!
Ian
2023-02-13 21:37:50 +0000 UTCI don't play on a VTT, do they have some way of hiding/masking the secret areas? Is that why there are no maps that don't show them?

2023-02-10 17:05:05 +0000 UTCnever mind the mod i was using (levels) must have been canceling something out they work fine on their own

2022-11-27 04:34:41 +0000 UTChmmm. just on that map or are they having problems on a number of different maps? I can't think of anything expressly on the map side of things that would be causing this to happen. Might be worth asking on the Foundry discord. A quick search trying to figure out what may be happening also led me to something about WebGL settings.

2022-11-27 04:11:21 +0000 UTCfog of war dosent seem to be working on the villa maps for foundry v10 anything explored just gets cover back up again

2022-11-27 03:44:13 +0000 UTCThat looks great! And no post-fireball without people. Interesting thought though that I hadn't considered, might try and edit one in the future. As of right now, not available though.
Ian
2021-12-12 16:03:31 +0000 UTCAfter a lot of work and just struggling to understand how things worked I managed to get this working~ https://puu.sh/IuT2H/c5bd5cc145.mp4 Thank you so much for the help! I assume there is no post-fireball version with things broken but no hurt people in the streets?

2021-12-12 15:47:19 +0000 UTCNo worries! If you haven't seen this post (https://www.patreon.com/posts/57279651) yet, I'd suggest giving it a readthrough as it talks about different ways to set up maps/import into Foundry. As for the maps themselves: Trollskull Alley: https://www.patreon.com/posts/48555104 Trollskull Manor: https://www.patreon.com/posts/59108019 Fireball: https://www.patreon.com/posts/48647517 I'd suggest having the Alley as one scene, and then the manor separately when they head inside (but you can probably combine all floors into 1 scene using universal battlemap importer). With the manor I'd start your players with the "disrepair" version and then can move them to a 'disrepair - light' version once they've explored it the first time. If they splurge and fix it up there is the repaired version available for that too. Hope this helps!
Ian
2021-12-07 15:19:45 +0000 UTCSorry to bother again, but the Trollskull Alley/Mansion maps are so all over the place that I'm having trouble figuring out what's what and what does where, doesn't help that I haven't really imported into foundry from maps like this before... Can you give me some pointers on how to build that map (in spring) with levels?
Nyss
2021-12-06 23:35:06 +0000 UTCThat's correct. I'm hoping I can get the next one out this week, so hopefully you won't need to grab too many before you have access to the Google drive.
Ian
2021-12-06 05:07:56 +0000 UTC(Didn't mean to send that message yet) Any eta on when the next one might happen? Would just help me figure out how many things I should get ahead of time from these links
Nyss
2021-12-06 04:58:53 +0000 UTCAh I see, I think I understand now, so I can download any of these maps and not be billed, it's just time consuming until you release a new map, then I get billed and I get an email to the drive, correct?
Nyss
2021-12-06 04:57:09 +0000 UTCHi Nyss, thanks for joining! The way my Patreon is set up is that when you join you get access to my entire back catalog of content - you can download/access as much as you like and won't be charged anything (so download away!) When I release NEW content, you will be charged your pledge amount (1 Euro) for each new release. You are only charged once per new map I release, up to the pledge limit you set per month. I don't release more than 4 maps per month so 4 Euro is the max you would ever be charged in a month. You can cancel at any time - lots of people have a "number" in mind that they think is fair/reasonable to pay for the content they use/access, which is different for everyone - so support as long as works for you! Thank you!
Ian
2021-12-06 04:53:02 +0000 UTCHello, I'm new to patreon, and I'm trying to understand how this works... Will it cost 1€ per map, for the whole thing, or what? I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong before I pay
Nyss
2021-12-06 04:38:12 +0000 UTCThanks Delsian! That should be coming your way shortly (as a new map is inbound soon!) Chapter 8 if all goes smoothly should be done in a month or less - 2 more Chapter 7 maps, then 2 Chapter 8 maps (as the towers and sanctum will be separate). What I do next for content still hasn't been decided....it might be DotMM though :)
Ian
2021-08-19 00:42:16 +0000 UTCHello, I really like maps. I can't wait to have the link to integrate them into Foundry VVT so that my friends can play. When do you think you can finish the content of Chapter 8? Are you also going to create content for the "dungeon of the mad mage" campaign? Eden Delsian, thks to google translate ...
Delsian
2021-08-18 08:50:47 +0000 UTCThank you! I'm glad to hear it
Ian
2021-08-10 12:39:12 +0000 UTCI just wanted to say that your maps are an absolutely wonderful addition to my game. Thank you so much for focusing on this module, your maps bring Waterdeep to life for myself and my players!

2021-08-09 18:33:38 +0000 UTCHi Michael - just sent you a direct message on this to get this resolved. Looks like it was sent - but possibly ended up in junk or I have the wrong email down for you (I just have what Patreon has). Let's resolve this over DM to keep personal info safe.
Ian
2021-07-25 13:25:16 +0000 UTCI joined at the beginning of July. Should I have received this email already?
Michael Thompson
2021-07-24 14:33:30 +0000 UTCAlso to add - here is a quick explanatory post on what to expect when you receive the file share: https://www.patreon.com/posts/file-share-is-49865519
Ian
2021-07-18 17:55:45 +0000 UTCThanks for becoming a patron! I email out the file share link (a google drive link) immediately after each paid release (so expect it later this week or early the following week). Because I don't have upfront payment on my patreon (and use a pay-per-release model), I do it this way to avoid having people sign up, download, and immediately cancel - it's a convenience perk for people who support my work (as most maps are free anyways) and seemed the most fair way to do things for everyone. I'd suggest downloading a map or two directly, by following the links above, for the first couple encounters you plan to run; by then I should have my next map out and you'll have access to the whole set at once!
Ian
2021-07-18 17:50:41 +0000 UTCSo now that I've decided to join up, how will the file share link be sent out? Will that come as an email thing, or is there a different way to get access to the more simple way of getting everything downloaded?
