Anyway!

One of the biggest hurdles for 3D VTTs is the time it takes to actually build a nice-looking map. I wanted to fix that.

With the new Steam Workshop integration in Game Master Engine, you don't have to build anything if you don't want to. You can just:

1. Browse the in-game library for whatever you need (Tavern, Dungeon, Forest).
2. One-Click Download to add it to your own library instantly.
3. Populate & Play by dropping minis and rolling 3D‏‏‎ ‎dice.

It’s all about‏‏‎ ‎getting‏‏‎ ‎to the‏‏‎ ‎"playing"‏‏‎ ‎part of D&D faster. You can also upload your own creations to share with the rest of the community!

I've been a dev on this for 6 years, and seeing‏‏‎ ‎what people‏‏‎ ‎are‏‏‎ ‎already building in the Workshop is honestly the coolest part of the project so far.

My neighbour (who mentioned her sons are now 50+years old) placed a pile of DnD books with a few other vintage role playing games at the curb in front of their home.

Am I correct in thinking that there is some saleable stuff here? What are the best options for finding someone interested in purchasing them in Toronto?

A dragonborn piece I finished recently. He's a Falazure-worshipping Death Cleric whose mission is to spread undeath and decay throughout the realm so that he can eventually be reborn as an eternal dracolich.

He's pretty much a textbook chaotic evil character, so things like masterminding a plague responsible for killing thousands of victims, kidnapping townsfolk and sacrificing them to appease his god, practicing necromancy, and raising an army of undead to invade and enslave settlements are pretty much just another Tuesday for him.

This character also came from my backlog of sketches. His outfit was inspired by the Draconian Mage design from official D&D material. I also tweaked his overall design to resemble the iconic D&D black dragon, with its skeletal head and downward-curving horns. I added a green magical aura to represent death and decay, with an acidic appearance to match the black dragon theme.

“Ever travelled with a dhampir? I have. The guild calls her the Bloody Maiden.
Gods, those eyes. Grey, hollow things, like looking into a grave on a winter morning. She has a way of staring at you without seeming to see you at all. And when she smiles, you’ll catch those little fangs behind her lips.
She hardly breathes, never seems to tire, and I’ve caught her crawling along ceilings like some great spider. Once woke to find her standing beside my bed, perfectly still, watching me sleep. Nearly put a dagger through her.
Then there’s the hunger. Ordinary food does little for a dhampir. Blood, flesh, dreams… each has their own particular appetite. I’ve seen the Maiden feed. Believe me, it’s not something you forget easily.
They say dhampirs belong neither to the living nor the dead. Looking at her, I find that rather easy to believe.
Still, she’s a good companion. Just don’t ask her to take first watch. You’ll never know whether she’s watching the forest or watching you.”

The party arrived at the manor as per the request of the baronetess.

“Harpies!” The noble dame shrieked. “Our fief is infested with them! The disgusting beasts are eating the turkeys and chickens right out of our pens, and now they're eating the swans and sparrows, too! Last week, the matriarch of the flock came right through the open dinning room window during Feast Day, and snatched a leg of meat right from my eldest son's hand! The audacity! As if they own the place!”

When her hysterics died down, the group promised to investigate.

What they found was not an infestation, but a small flock of a mere dozen well-fed harpies. The normally aloof and aggressive creatures were fluttering about the manor grounds and surrounding village with little fear or anxiety; standing casually on rooftops and wandering about freely in the fields, as though they were just common birds. Feelings among the serfs were mixed. Most despised them, chasing them away and claiming dead livestock, vandalized property, uncleanliness, and general irritation. But a small few praised them for keeping the foxes, hawks and coyotes away.

Communication with the harpies proved impossible. They spoke their own language; an incoherent, bestial tongue that accented itself with bird songs. Further, if someone even attempted to approach a harpy, first they'd waddle away, then they'd hiss, then they'd take flight to loiter in another part of the fief. Diplomacy appeared to be off the table.

So the survivalist of the party took it upon themselves to track down where the creatures were nesting at night. After a long day of tracking, the party found the harpy nest cradled in the bell tower of the old monastery near the borders of the fief. The monastery, abandoned by the monks during some religious reform that no longer mattered, had been stripped of all valuables and left to decay. The tower, now without a bell, resounded instead with the singing of the harpies.

The most striking one, the matriarch that led the chorus, suddenly looked out from the tower. She eyed the dirt road, and saw not the party hiding in the nearby thicket, but the distinct likeness of a certain baronetess's eldest son. He walked directly towards the harpy nest, and behind him he dragged a hand-drawn cart full of stirring animal cages.

Not many things are known about him. Only that he might have been a paladin of the highest order, a soldier appointed by him who made starlight. Or so they say.

Blessesed with long life, as perhaps many if his kind were. History long gone from living memory.

He has been seen traveling here and there, sometimes on a black horse, dragging behind it pale mist, dread and cold it brings.

What is the purpose of his wanderings, how and when he became as now he is.

ill omen, black as a crow in cloth and in mood, no one knows.

Though it has been said, in lands long ago, that still had gods looking over them. That there are none now, in the these places where this stranger has walked.

Hello people! Thank you for looking at my work!

I'm very proud of this piece, i've worked so hard on it.

The idea for this character, is that he should be an OP npc that sometimes interacts with the characters and his story unfolds gradually thoughout the campaign. Basically he is a major factor in big changes in the world, and while the characters learn more of his story, they can choose how to help or hinder him.

Right now slots are open for Fall and Winter, if you're interested send me a dm.

Chūya is an Aasimar half elf. His aasimar side comes from his mother's side that was blessed during the death of an incredibly old Couatl and his father's side gave him his elven traits as well as his love for blacksmithing.

Chūya's mother died early on from a violent robbery and the thief was found innocent because, the syndicate used magic to sway the mind of the nobility and judge. This drove his father further into his work, learning more about rare metallurgy and arcane infusions.

Chūya's father attempted to overthrow the magic fueled syndicate in their town by forging magic weapons for the town guards, to find some level of justice. Unlucky for him, some of the guards had already been under the syndicates thumb... the guards were practically bulls walking to slaughter. Though armed with the weapons the guards did thin the syndicates lower ranks considerably before the five leaders rained down powerful spells that wiped out the guards, destroyed all but, the most powerful of the weapons and more than anything gained a new level of fear for the townsfolk. This however, wasn't the end... they still had one more message to send; the next day the leaders found Chūya's home and murdered his father with the very weapons that he had forged to beat them. In a fit of rage, Chūya grabbed an unfinished blade from the forge and tried to attack, but was swiftly cut down. Left broken and bleeding, this seemed to be the end but, a small celestial light closed his wound enough to survive and the last thing he heard before passing out was his mother's voice telling him to live.

Fast forward a few months and the deed to the smithy had somehow fallen into his father's assistants hands; while he did give Chūya the benefit of gathering some equipment from the forge and his room... this was no longer his home. Realizing that he had nothing left here, he struck out into the wilderness. It was difficult at first, he suffered from many a mistake as he learned to survive... but, luckily a couple days journey from town resided a temple to Lathander. There he found he could trade meats and medicinal herba he foraged in the woods for the occasional set of supplies or to pay for lodging when the weather got too bad. The monks at the temple were kind folk and they were devout in their worship and their practice of material arts. While punching someone never seemed as effective as slashing them with a sword, it was still interesting to watch when the forest was quiet.

Now adays Chūya has 5 goals:

1. Forge two blades greater than the ones his father forged.

2. Get stronger, stronger than those that wronged him could have ever imagined.

3. Get vengeance against the syndicate and free his home town.

4. Reclaim his home.

5. Settle down.

I'm currently DMing a D&D 2024 campaign, and I've been looking into some of the older editions like AD&D 1e, 2e, and B/X.

I've come across some interesting mechanics like morale checks, monster reaction rolls, dungeon turns, and wandering monsters. I think some of these could work really well with the 2024 rules. For those of you who have played older editions, what mechanics or rules do you think are worth bringing back?

I'm especially interested in rules that make exploration, combat, and the world feel more interesting without completely changing the 2024 system.

Have you tried using any of them in 5e or 2024? How did it go?
