Worlds Beyond the Arches and Dwarven Forge VTT Backdrops
🕑 Added 2022-05-02 14:24:37 +0000 UTCHello friends! I have two new gifts for you fine patrons this month.
First, I've added two new pages to the City of Arches called "Worlds Beyond the Arches". These ten short descriptions shine a light through the arches to the worlds beyond! These descriptions might come up as lore while the characters explore the arches, origins for the creatures stepping through the arches, or even destinations for high-level characters!
Second, with Dwarven Forge's blessing, I now offer a handful of Dwarven Forge VTT backdrops you can use in your virtual tabletop of choice! These backdrops are intended to serve as an abstract map for your game; a way to make it feel a little more like you're playing at a physical table. I was heavily inspired by the Japanese roleplaying game Fantasian which used physical dioramas for the backgrounds of their video game.
I've used these abstract backdrops a few times in my own games and my players and I all enjoyed it. The main thing to keep in mind is that they're not intended for perfect gridded play. Import these with the grid turned off and use them in conjunction with my guidelines for using abstract maps. If you use them, let me know how they work for you.
As always, you can find all of your Sly Flourish Patreon rewards here.
