Wow! 200 Patrons. Next goal achieved. New ventures.
Added 2022-01-23 11:58:22 +0000 UTCYou are awesome! Thanks everyone for their support! When I started this Patreon page I could have never imagine that so many people would be interested on my maps & assets.
I want to thank every single one of you and I want to give you a promise that more cool stuff are coming soon.
I want to share with you an idea that I have and the plans for implementing it in the near future.
The main idea is to create a custom FoundryVTT module (available to Tier 3+ patrons only) that will include:
- Area Map (Clickable map, you can click and open a specific map etc.)
- Several Maps (I am not sure on the number of the maps included, I may add existing maps, tweaked or not and create new maps when it is needed)
- Tokens (normal, b&w, animated)
- City/Village Guide (will include descriptions of the area, main areas for investigation with descriptions, a phonebook etc.)
- Plot Hooks or Homebrew scenario ideas (including timelines, relationships etc.). Every module will have a specific scenario idea in mind. It will be a self-contained homebrew adventure.
- NPC Guide (information for each NPC, description, roleplaying hooks, traits etc.)
- Handouts
- Music (I will try to find either royalty free music or try to collaborate with talented musicians)
- With your help and participation I hope there will be more ideas & requests in order to make this even cooler.
My plan is to make the specific modules system-agnostic but they may use Mythos elements that are available in public domain. So, some of them may be film-noir, some other mythos-related, modern horror etc. The idea is to create different kind of mini-worlds that you can use to play several sessions.
Because of copyright/trademark reasons I will not be able to include Character Sheets or any copyrighted material. But if this whole venture leads into something cool then I will contact some companies with some demo in order to get all of this licensed, if possible.
I will also give the ability to different patron Tiers to affect the story/NPCs etc. E.g. I was thinking of letting you decide in some cases the NPC names, or create a custom location that you may request.
I will slowly start working in this new venture starting this February and I hope that I will have some something more solid, to show to you all by the end of February. I am not sure how often I will release/publish or update such foundry modules. Until I finish up with the RMS Mauretania, my time is going to be quite limited but I hope I will be able to release some stuff in the meantime.
Some first ideas for short-adventures are:
- 20s adventure in a small village (Innsmouth style)
- 30s film-noir investigation
- 80s adventure in a small town (death in the arcades)
- Gaslight era adventure
The name of this new venture is going to be Phobia.
I am just putting down my thoughts for now, and I am curious to see what you all think about this.
