Just sharing my Roll20 desktops (inspired by others posted here). My group is new to the game, and online play, and there was some complaint about getting lost in all the open windows, so I made a desktop for scores and another for downtime.

Beautiful!
Cool! What resolution are these? I would think the rule references would be hard to read during play.
This is great.
This is sexy as hell. And useful. How did you make it and do you have one without the “Home” labelled and the areas highlighted?
okay did do the handouts as gifs then layer them over the parchment in roll20? or do it all in photoshop then drag it over?
Long Explanation: I did it in PS. My process is probably not ideal, as my PS skills are kinda basic. My files are 30×25 inches at 140 pixels per. Even sliced up, the .pngs were too large to upload though, so I exported them at 50%.
The text is literally just .png screen shots (on a mac) from the handouts/book that I drag into photoshop, position over a paper asset, and set the lair to “darken” to hide the white background.
I do a reverse selection on the paper layer and delete the excess from the text layer so no stray pixels are visible.
The image is saved in 4 slices, with most of the map in one, and the bottom left corner in another. Those two are the same on both pages, so I only need to maintain one copy of those slices that I use on both pages in Roll20.
The text loses some crispness, but it’s plenty legible for quick reference. I do have to zoom in to read it.. but I think players will generally either be looking at the map up top or the text at the bottom, so that’s fine for my use.
Cool! Like the scratched table a lot 🙂
LOL, I dig it too! I still have a bunch of credits for stock photos left over from my Apocalypse World hack that I scrapped… So I might have splurged a little. 😉
Very well done. Thanks for the details.
This is really great Travis Heldibridle. I support John Williams in asking if you would you provide us a blank version so we can use it in our own games? Would you also provide the psp so So I could directly translate in French for my crew?
The map and most of the text is from the free content. A few of the text blocks were snapped from the game book itself though. It may seem trivial but, because I used screenshots from the book for a couple of items…
I’d probably have to get some sort of nod from John Harper to be comfortable releasing useable files. I’m super-sensitive to the perception of piracy, and respecting other artists’ work.
You’re truly right! Would you share your materials in psd without the materials from the book?
You know what, Grégory Meurant, I might find time this weekend to do a “light” version of this and do that.
Travis Heldibridle Hey, if you are worried about it, then leave it out. Don’t do extra work on my behalf.
How about it John Harper can he make a usesble version for us to use? Lol
A few paragraphs are fine. 🙂 Go ahead.
I really wish there was a great background like this to download for people like me
Sweet. So how about it Travis Heldibridle can you clean up the crew specific stuff and share it with us John said it’s ok 😁
Apologies for the delay. Had a technical issue that held me up this week! I sure hope this ends up being worth the hype.
The stuff you have already is worth the hype, so no worries.
It’s way way better than what I can do and I really like how it ties in with the setting
Any update?
A whole bunch of life happened all at once and I, somehow, misplaced the PSD for this.
I haven’t gotten around to recreating it, mostly because my players were still referring to the handouts for most of this information anyway.
