THE MOTHMAN STORY
The Mothman Story. This is the story of my encounter with the Mothman of West Virginia in the early 1990s. The hills of West Virginia are deeply lush in the summer and the humidity of the rain forest weighs heavy in the lungs. Overnight, a thick, cool fog will steep the land, lasting just before daybreak, when it settles onto the grass as dew.DESIGNING MAPS
Designing Maps for Roleplaying Games. jorm. Wherein I describe my love for game maps and teach you how to do it for yourself. June 18, 2018. HOW I LAID OUT GG ALLIN, OR JUNKIES CAN’T FIGHT How I Laid Out GG Allin, or Junkies Can’t Fight. Once upon a time there was a performance artist named GG Allin. GG was a heroin addict and punk rock icon in that order. I’m certain he thought of himself as a “singer” or a “rock star” but he was terrible at both of those jobs. He was really only known for literally eating shit onstage.
KISSIN’ GIRLS, GIVIN’ WEDGIES Kissin’ Girls, Givin’ Wedgies. At the end of the month, Grand Theft Auto IV drops. I am certain this will annihilate my spare time and life. Until then, however, I am playing Bully: Scholarship Edition. The game originally came out last year or so for theantiquated PS2.
DESIGNING FANTASY OUTDOORS MAPS Create a new layer above your Water layer, call it “Landmass”, and select it. Set your paint color to white (. #ffffff. ) Switch to the Brush tool. Select a Hard Round Brush, 100% opacity, and with a size that you can see and work with (you’ll need it to be larger onlarger scale maps).
FANTASY MAP TYPES
Take for example a large-scale map – a large island. Here, the locations of coastlines are fairly important and are likely drawn accurately (to the fidelity of the map’s scale). However, cities and towns are usually marked representationally, with dots or squares or stars.Their positions on the island are accurate, but you don’t drawbuildings.
DESIGNING FANTASY BATTLEMAPS Start with the floor. Make a shape (color #dddddd) that will cover the entire floor. Don’t worry about walls just yet. I like to use the various Shape tools to draw in large areas, one layer per room, and then merge them all together (remember to “Merge Shape Components” if you do this!). When I’ve done that, I’ll then futz with the anchor points on the edges to size it how I like FANTASY CARTOGRAPHY BEST PRACTICES RANDOMLY GENERATING LAND MASS Create a new, empty layer above Water in your file and call it “Coastline Sources”.; Set your colors to white (#ffffff) and black (#000000).With Coastline Sources selected, go Filter -> Render -> Clouds.The layer should be filled with black-and-white clouds. Not super-useful yet. Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Posterize.Set the “Levels” value to 2. GAIJIN ENTERTAINMENT HAS SERVED ME WITH A UDRP COMPLAINT Wherein Gaijin Entertainment tries to step up their legal threats. In May of this year I was served a cease and desist letter from a company named Gaijin Entertainment. They demanded that I turn over this domain, gaijin.com, which I had registered in 1995, to them, a company founded in 2002, based on a claim of “trademark infringement.”.THE MOTHMAN STORY

Go: Photoshop -> Preferences -> Guide, Grid, and Slices. In the dialog, under “Grid”: Set the line style to solid. Set the gridline every 10 pixels with 10 subdivisions. Set your grid color. I set the grid color to. #ff0000. , but any bright, vivid color will do. Collapse instructions by default.DRAWING MOUNTAINS
Select the Mountains shape layer in Layers panel and open its Layer Style dialog. Set the layer’s Fill Opacity to 0%. Select Bevel & Emboss. Set the “Style” to “Inner Bevel”. Set the “Depth” to 420 (nice!) Depending on the age of the mountain, set the“Soften”
MANAGING BATTLEMAP ASSETS Open your battlemap in one tab and your asset library in the other. In the asset library, click on the layer of the asset in the Layers panel and drag it up to the tab for your map document. Photoshop will switch to the map file.

The Gamemaster is the only one who uses maps as a Story Guide.Story maps are specifically purposed and are intended to be kept secret from the Players because they include details that the Players should not (or cannot) know, but that the Gamemaster must know.. The classic dungeon blueprint map is the best example of this kind of mappurpose.
LIBRARY OF PATTERNS
Battlemap Techniques. It’s good to keep a library of all your patterns. From time to time you may want to delete a pattern from Photoshop’s presets (they can eat RAM) so you’ll want to get one back if you do. I will update this post with patterns as they are added to other or new articles.PHOTOSHOP BASICS

However, it ended not with a bang but with a whimper. The fight was over in November of 2013 and I could have written about it then but decided to hold off in case there was any further legal trickery that required attention. After serving me with a Universal Domain Name Dispute Complaint, I found A CEASE AND DESIST DEMAND FROM GAIJIN ENTERTAINMENT On Friday, May 3rd, 2013, I received this missive via email in an attached PDF (full text below). In it, Gaijin Entertainment, a company founded in 2002, is claiming trademark infringement over this domain (“gaijin.com”), which I registered on May 22nd, 1995, and which shows content in the Internet Archive as early as November 5, 1996.
