Wow, 31 days already?!
First I wanted to Say thanks to the The Swamp who gave me the chance tag along on the 31 Day Challenge. Its been a fun month, I reached and surpased my goal of reaching 250 followers on Twitter, I also managed to get my affiliate status on Twitch, and I get to host on the Free League Publishing Twitch Channel for a few games.

Here are a few tools that people can use when running games on a VTT.
Personally, I use Fantasy Grounds for most of my games, and I find these work great. I am sure for other VTTs you can find a way to use these as well.
But I am really digging the new T2K from Free League Publishing and you can jump in on the action at the T2K Kickstarter late pledge here.
Vehicle Chart
The way I use them, is I can drag and drop pins or images to indicate where the players are on the vehicle chart. The thinner boxes are for vehicle components.
Travel Matrix
Drag images or pins over what actions the players are doing during their hex movements.
Theater of the Mind Combat Map.
This is for those times when you do not have a map ready, or you just want something quick.. Everyone uses these styles of maps differently.. So use it how you want, for me.. the main thing is moving zones.. in order to move to a new zone, the NPC or player needs to make a mobility roll.. Also, I like zone maps better then dealing with squares and grids most times too, so this helps.
On the 19th day of Conan Christmas, I present to you Tuvé the All Seer
Great news everyone!!
I have been giving the blessing from the great people at Free League Publishing to share my themes for Fantasy Grounds Unity with you!
Now, lets be clear.. These themes below are based off the "alpha" rules. Which you can only get over at the Kickstarter Page. So, things could and most likely change in the future. But this is to good of a game setting to miss out on!
How awesome is that!? Pretty Fracking Awesome I think!
So, you all have two options, depending on how suave you want to be with it.
Get the Twilight 2000 Core Ruleset file.. simply download this PAK file and place it in your rulesets folder, and then start a new campaign. This is a very basic ruleset, no special dice rollers.. all manual dice, nothing fancy. But simple to use.
Or
Get the Twilight 2000 MoreCore Theme For this extension to work, you need to have the MoreCore Ruleset (free on the Fantasy Grounds Forums) already installed. But take this extension file and copy it to your extension folder. The start up a new campaign, select MoreCore as the Ruleset, and then select the TW2000 Theme from the list.
MoreCore allowed me to use some special features, such as button rollers, dice formulas and a few other features that CoreRPG does not do.
The good news about this, is that both of these rulesets (Core and MoreCore) are free, this Theme is free!.. So.. Bonus all the way around!
And to help you use the MoreCore Theme, I created a character sheet which you can import into your game, which has all the dice formulas listed and provided. Below image is that of MoreCore theme.
I hope to see you all on the battlefield!

Hey all,
Great news!
The Conan extension theme for playing 2D20 MoreCore has now been updated to work with the Newest MoreCore and with Unity..
Fixed a few things, to make it work with MoreCore and Unity..
Ok, so.. there is a small beef I have with this release. Since there are new buttons added to MoreCore, I had to make new buttons for them. But the program I used 2 years ago to make the text had changed, so the newer buttons, Classes, Races, Investigations and a few others.. The label color is a bit different. So, thats gonna bug me.. :(
You can get version 4.0 here!
On the ninth day of Christmas, good ole Jolly gave to thee..
Darius.
In the days before Conan, there was an age of wonder, the age of King Kull. And in his courts there was a eunuch, who wispered secrets, gathered news, and served the King while in the shadows of Nobility. Elkamar
Full character sheet here.
On the sixth day of Christmas, ole Jolly gave to thee.. Semer-Teph
On the 5th day of Conan Christmas, 'Ole Jolly gave to ye!
Octavian, Captain of the mercenary company, The Iron Shields.
I have taken some steps towards using Hexkit as a way of making fun and fast battlemaps for use in my upcoming Twilight 2000 game.
I think it will work out ok.. I just need to really take the time to make one, it has almost all the resources it needs to do what I want it to do. I just need to find some art that has less of a fantasy vibe to it. But I think it will work. And its fast too.. 10 minutes and I had a nice 24 by 24 map made.
The lighter colors are elevated positions, while the green is of course, lower. We got some bogs and marsh in there. With the Dark Green trees being foliage and lighter green mixed trees as Forests. I just need to add a few LOS blocking items, and I should be all set I think.
This map is called Bridge Crossing. The players are trying to get back to friendly lines, and they need to cross this river to do it.
On the 4th day of Conan Christmas, Ole' Jolly gave to ye..
On the third day of Conan, Ole' Jolly gave to ye..
Althaia of the Barachan Isle
Some people were born to sail, Althaia was one of those people. When she was a child, Althaia would often be seen playing down near the waterfront, wharfs and docks. Fascinated by the Argossean royal fleet, she would constantly pester the sailors for stories of their latest voyages. As soon as she would come of age, she stowed away on a Argossean Galley named the Red Morning. When she reveled herself to the captain, everyone thought that she would be removed from the ship at the next port. But the captain took a liking to this brash youth, and started to teach her the ways of the sail.
The Red Morning was her home for several years, till a unnatural storm set upon the ship, sending it to the depths. She was the only survivor. She was marooned for several weeks on one of the many islands known as the Barachan Isles. Till she was discovered by a lessor known Shemtish pirate known as Morsoe. Knowing what fate awaited her as the new guest of Morsoe, she challenged him as per the pirates code. Morsoe foolishly accepted the challenge, thinking it just a mere jest. Underestimating the Argossean Sailor, Althaia was able to drive her short sword deep into the the flabby gut of Morsoe. And that day, the pirate crew had a new captain, Althaia.

Day 2
I introduce to you.. Isidor, The Master Thief
Isidor claim to fame began when he managed to lift a valuable sigil off a drunken priest of Mitra. Not only was this sigil worth more then all the items combined he stole earlier that year, it also catapulted him down the road of becoming a famous thief in the cult of Bel. The cult of thieves.
His complete character sheet can be found here.
So recently, in an obvious attempt to up my visibility on social media and gain some attention to my blog. I voluntarily agreed to create and post 1 character a day for 31 days, along side an already established persona in the TTRPG gaming community whose blog is known as agameraday.blogspot.com and also affectionately named The Swamp on Twitter.
So did I agreed to throw my name into this fun, 31 day challenge with another tabletop gamer on the internet.. No!
I agreed to do this challenge against a pro! You see, I did not know that this person was a bonified active, published creator over on DTRPG when I decided to throw my creative hat into the ring. So, the pressure is on me now! ;)
Now the deal was, that if they were to create a character a day for 31 days, then I would do the same. I have choosen to make my characters with Modiphius's 2D20 System, Conan. That no surprise for anyone that follows me.
Besides.. What's Christmas with out Crom?
So, today is December 1st, Day 1. I will also share the entire character sheet for you to download, and maybe use in your own games. Enjoy
