Conan Exiles, Fantasy Grounds Unity, and Map Making!

Hey all..

I few years back, I posted a blog about using the recently released Conan Exiles computer game to help me create fun and exciting battlemaps for the use with the Conan RPG when playing on a Virtual Tabletop. And it worked out pretty good, if you were to ask me. 

Now, since Fantasy Grounds had released its newer Unity version, which allows you to draw in LOS on maps. I decided to try it again and see how the LOS tool works. 

In short, I am very happy with the way this now looks!

Its certainly something to explore if you have the chance. And it is something you can do with any setting really, find a computer game that fits the theme of you adventure, and starting taking pictures!

So, You wanna make Battle Maps for 2D20 Systems?

Ok, we all know that the 2D20 game system uses an abstracted mechanic called zones, and if you were apart of the Kickstarter, you got cool zone maps!

So, what if you have a cool idea, but you can not find a cool map to play your epic battles on?

Well, if you happen to own Conan: Exiles (like I do) and play 2D20 Conan, then you are in luck.

Open up your Exiles, and enter the admin mode.. make yourself invisible, turn on the Fly option and look for cool screen shot materials.

After a few minutes, I had a few great screen shots for my adventures, and then a few minutes later (with the use of Gimp) I had what I think is a pretty cool battle map for Conan.

Zones added!

Now this can work with any 3D rendered game, just find an area that fits the need and Zone it up!!
