Thread: Lost Fable

  1. #1

    Map Lost Fable

    I'm glad I can finally show this one.
    I had a good time working on it.

    So, back in 2019 I was contacted by Ghostfire Gaming to work on some maps for their Grim Hollow setting.
    Unfortunately I wasn't able to, as I was already in a large contract.
    But they got back in touch in 2020 and we worked out doing this one.

    The Grim Hollow setting was just something I wanted to be part of, so I'm glad I got to do this.
    The Tavern of the Lost Fable is a location in the Grim Hollow game world of Ghostfire Gaming.
    You can support their work here - https://ghostfiregaming.com/

    This has really gotten me interested in encounter maps again.
    So, there will be more of those, for sure.
    I hope everyone is doing ok. Cheers, J

    Fabulous work! The lights and shadows are giving it a lot to the general ambiance .

    You know I'm a sucker for dark maps! Amazing colours and a lot of atmosphere to this one.

    The consistency in this is fantastic. Feels cohesive. Phenomenal work.

    I wish the legend/key numbers in the middle building read-left-to-right more.
    Right now it reads: T9, T6, T4, T5, T11, T10, T8, T7 — which is all over the place, and makes figuring out locations more of a chore than it needs to be.

    Oooh, always a pleasure when we can repair a missed opportunity !
    Amazing job, of course but... I'm sure you'll understand if I say I really, really don't want to sleep there ^_^

    It's so nice to see your style with this kind of map ! It's a bit too dark for my taste, but it's a nice job !

    I haven't done many dark maps, so this was a new direction.

    The room order was set in the text I was given.

    Idk, it wasn't clear. I wasn't sure if it was some part of the room, or the entire room.
    So I left the feeling somewhat vague.

    Hehehe, yeah. This place has some very bad vibes.
    The whole place is a bit of a trap, if I understood the text.

    At least with my own personal maps, there will always be a brighter version.
    Even if there are some dark ones too.
