HedgeWizard 86 Posted May 10 (edited) Hey gaming friends! Creating this as ground zero for sharing my content for my home brew setting—Folenn. It's a relatively generic fantasy setting. The genesis (ha!) is I started my kids with D&D 5e some time ago, but I've always preferred the narrative dice system, and after playing some Star Wars, they agreed it would be fun to switch. Anyway, this world is a cobbled together mish-mash of D&D tropes and peppered liberally with content and characters from some of their favorite fantasy books/stories. Anyway, I'll start adding links here to content that could be useful to other fantasy folks. Feedback is welcome! Note: All the art in screenshots I share are inspirational/springboards for my kids, and will not be part of the documents I share as I obviously don't own the rights General NPC sheet Continent of Folenn (North part of the Continent) NEW! Environmental Encounter Table cards NEW!

HedgeWizard 86 Posted May 10 PS. Most content (like PDFs, etc.) are optimized for my tablet which I have handy at the table. a few folks on other threads have asked what my GM workflow is, so I thought I would share here. Everything here is for the fantasy game I am running, but I also have a workup for the sci-fi setting I run friends through (think cowboy bebop meets the expanse with splashes of mass effect & shadowrun). I work up sessions using Trello (awesome tool - especially for people who think visually), and I leverage the 35 Min Prep concepts in the awesome Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master. Essentially each area covered in the 35 min prep guide is a column or stack, with entries in cards. Here's an example of my Folenn Trello Board The great thing I've come to love about using Trello at the table, is I can click on an NPC card, or Monster card, or Location, or Encounter card and have the details right at my fingertips. For example, in a latest scenario they squared off mobs of Zombies and Skeletons and a Nemesis Necromancer. Since the monster cards I created are pngs (see below), and you can attach any number of images or pdfs to a single card, I can click on the 1 Encounter Card (say Necromancer) and have all the undead beasts as my finger tip. 3 DarthDude, SavageBob and Armoks reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HedgeWizard 86 Posted May 15 I've added my map of the northern part of the continent of Folenn. A teaser image: 2 Armoks and DarthDude reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MisterCram 5 Posted May 16 How are you creating your NPC cards? I really like how clean yours looks. I've been making mine in OneNote initially to get stats down but now want to move them into a more presentable format. I'd like to eventually make my own "Monster Manual" and have been looking for an easy to use template. 1 DarthDude reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HedgeWizard 86 Posted May 16 I use something that makes zero sense, but it's been part of my design workflow for years. I use Curio on OS X. it's essentially a whiteboarding/brainstorming app for Mac. But it allows you to layer and create shapes, etc. I've been using it so long, I can quickly work these things up, rather that learn Photoshop or some specific art program. 1 1 DarthDude and MisterCram reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was up and running quite quickly, and now that I know a few of the quirks (like how to quickly/easily get some variegated trees in a forest), I am enjoying using. I might also try Inkarnate too. 1 DarthDude reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HedgeWizard 86 Posted May 31 Just added a small PDF with environmental encounter cards. I was hoping to add an image of one of the cards here, but without hosting that image separately somewhere, it looks I can't share it here. 1 DarthDude reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
