To keep my games alive, I’ve pivoted to online/virtual tabletop play. To help make the games feel more personal, I purchased a yearly subscription to Zoom. (If you do this, use the coupon code and save some money!) Last night, my Western Borders group got together on Zoom, and it worked great! Both video and audio quality were clear. It was wonderful to see my online players for the first time!
As a surprise, I wanted to give the Western Borders folks a better experience in their current quest. They’ve been battling the inhabitants of Griffon’s Keep (a ruined castle complex deep in the forests) for nearly a calendar year, and they are getting close to the finish. So, I did a bit of research and bought a copy of DungeonDraft. This is a very easy-to-use piece of software that makes creating these top-down maps a cinch. If you’ve used Wonderdraft – the world-mappiung software, you’re familiar with “Megasploot” and their coding. DungeonDraft is similar in approach.
Here’s Griffon’s Keep as seen in Roll20!
Yes, that’s the Moathouse in the lower left, recast as the keep’s gatehouse!
This map is huge, but if you’d like to use it for your own games, I’ve put a version up on Google Drive for you – just click this link. https://drive.google.com/open?id=10XMdJsb49tC03Cwf0-IxuqTQ4JO57Ve9
I also have interiors, and I’ll release them once the PCs are done vanquishing the necromancers and evil-doers within!
