You wanted SOLO RULES for ORBITAL BLUES?!

You got 'em! The Wanderer, a solo-rules supplement by Elliot Davis (@morebluebs), is now available as an addon in Orbital Blues: Afterburn

With the addition of a deck of playing cards and a handful of poker chips, players reflect on the life of an outlaw and reckon with their Trouble as they attempt to build the best poker hand possible. 

One-part journaling game, one-part playlist builder, The Wanderer brings a new tune to the frontier galaxy.

The deck is stacked against you and you’ve only got one hand left. Make it count.

ive decided not to use this design after all—which is a bit of a shame bc i spent a lot of time on it, but i might as well post it

[mapsminismonsters]

So a while ago I was like “I should update Jinan’s design” except that all the updating that’s relevant is little tiny bits and pieces. 

Post-big boss fight the party got reconstituted a bit. Since then it’s taken a train, woken up one of Jinan’s robot siblings, tracked down a group of nationalists and got its collective ass kicked, and now is walking across a desert in hopes of figuring out why the land god is broken.

Portraits of my two current [terrible] D&D characters. There’s Brow the elven ranger who won’t stop talking about how elves actually invented everything the party comes across and insists on showing off “superior” elven ingenuity at every opportunity. And there’s Ono, the tiefling paladin, absolutely fuming at being stuck in Barovia

Here’s a map, maybe use it to fight some bandits or some shit like that, I don’t know. Maybe the buildings are mimics, or the trees are mimics, or the cobblestones are mimics, that sounds like something some DM would do, right? People love it when places are actually on the back of a giant turtle, maybe do something with that, players eat that shit up. Make your players town guards for all I care, I’m an artist not a writer. 

Download the full resolution image of this map at my Patreon, as well as alternate gridless, night, and outlines-only versions!

Hello, everyone!

I bring you today a map with lots of snow and ice where your players can climb to get the advantage and slide across the slippery ice to escape from their enemies.

Use the environment to hide behind the enemy fire and plan the perfect plan to melt the ice monsters lurking around!

The creature tokens for this map are a Mammoth, a Plesiosaur and a Velociraptor. Emerald tier gets the Elf Warrior while Diamond tier gets all three. In addition, Sapphire tier gets extra creature token variants.

You can see a preview of all of this week’s Patreon content here.

Thank you very much for taking a look and be sure to check out my Patreon where you can pledge for gridless version, alternate map versions as well as the tokens pertaining to this map.

all of these adoptables have since found their homes, but I’m still proud of the character designs I came up with 

[mapsminismonsters]

Party was invited to a fancy dinner, which means fancy outfits! And then I decided to be extra and put them all in fancy frames because I thought it’d make a hella cool splash screen on roll20 and guess what I WAS RIGHT

Some short deets on the party below the cut!

Test paint of an Ad Mech going a sorta vaporwave / futuristic vibe.

Happy with the cloak but idk about the gun, I kinda wanted to go for a black casing but 🤷‍♀️ might scrap that and go for a silver...

craft foam scale mail(le) tutorial

so for some reason blackwall has a scale mail(le)* loincloth. idk why, maybe people like to kick him in the balls or something, who knows.

if you’re made out of money and time (time being the same thing as money, so double money or double time, i guess), you can just buy scale making supplies from the ring lord or something, which can be pricey and take a while, or you can try to figure out some other way to do it.

i didn’t want to spend like $40 on scales that would look too real next to the rest of my fake foam armor, and i didn’t want to spend a billion hours weaving a skirt with rings and little metal pieces, so instead I decided to do it on the cheap and instead of like $40 i paid less than $5 for the materials i used since i had most of it on hand for my other armor, anyway. idk i think it looks just fine and is much less heavy than actual metal would have been. here’s a closeup.

i own a sillhouette portrait cutting machine i bought on sale from amazon a couple years ago, so i was curious if it would be any easier to do it this way, since i was making the shape in illustrator anyway…

so here’s what i did:

STEP 1- Vector scale mail(le) shape thing in Illustrator and scale (HAR HAR) it to how big i wanted it to be. the line up the middle is a crease line, which will make more sense later.

STEP 2- figure out how many scales i would need by arranging them in rows.

STEP 3- figure out cutting area i had to work with and arrange scales in rows on artboard.

STEP 4a- export to dxf format so silhouette machine can cut it.

STEP 4b- alternately, you can print scales onto paper to use as a template for tracing and cutting by hand.

(more under the cut so this doesn’t get long, including pics of what it looks like finished AND because i’m nice also there’s a jpg template at the end if you want to trace some scales AND the vector file i used to cut these in case you have a machine and want to make your own.)

Steven Let’s play a fun game about adventure and mortal peril! What could possibly go wrong? Universe is playing a Warlock who thinks he’s a Sorcerer. 

Why not Bard? you ask

Well…

There was another contender for the position.

Hi hi everyone!!

For this map I decided to do something risky, a small path that forms on the edge of a cliff.

Many adventures require that we go to the mountains, so why not make the trip interesting while climbing towards them?

this map is great for fighting flying enemies like giant eagles or dragons trying to knock your players down.

There is much more on my Patreon , if you liked the map do not forget to take a look at my other maps.

By supporting me you will receive for each map: high quality images, special version for Roll20, map tokens, color variations, versions without props.

this is a preview of this map tiers

My main map is free and you can download it Here
