I want to show you my current roll20 background, info banner style, for the great crew of Shadows called “Deveras Wille”. Players are free to scroll up and down and so we have lots of space for all the needed game stuff combined with some eye candy.

We have the player’s pictures & attributes, we have faction clocks and NPC cards for story inspiration… and we have still room on the table for more of this 🙂

Technically it’s a combination of different pictures created in PS on the map layer and additional pictures/tokens on the token layer.

Working great so far and I have fun between sessions to tinker with this.

The flickr stream of the British Library has cool input for pictures:

They even have an album called “Ghosts & Ghoulish scenes” but other cool stuff, too, like lots of maps. So, not only the Whisper will find here something useful.

Did a bigger version of the Doskvol Map and printed it on rigid foam. I was always a bit irritated that north was on the left and therefor I rotated Johns Map and added the labels again to stay true to the orginal as much as possible.

Then I did my fake old map thing togehter with a fake mock thing and voilá (see picture for result). I’m pretty proud of the result, it looks really cool.

I plan to use it as a prop or as a true map on the game table (with markings). We’ll see how this work out.
