Board Games Anyone?

Post by RPTroll »

here's your classic chess and backgammon board for anyone interested. They 'should' automatically be on the grid as the units are in 40x40 pixels. I plan on using these so my players can goof around while waiting for their initiative to come up.

You should be able to right click and save the images. Both of these are my original art and you are free to use and redistribute as you will.

Wizard's chess anyone?

I've been thinking about the monopoly board for a while. :D

I figure the squares should be 80x80. Drawing an approximation of the standard board shouldn't be hard.


The cards can either be drawables or large creature sized tokens. If we had a solid overlay (one that covered the card completely) the DM could stack the two decks in the middle and removed the covered state on the top card. Randomize the stack manually would be a pain.

Money could be another set of tokens I guess with the DM(Banker) assigning the money to a player and taking it away as need be.

I still think the best way would be to integrate a macro that selected a random image from a specified folder and showed it with a given state on it for everyone else, then removed the imagefrom the list it could pick from. complicated but usefull.

That would rock. In fact, it has dungeon uses as well, such as the occupants of a tavern or store or Non-special NPCs in a town.

Those are some cool boards. You know what would be cool would be to take the chess board, and actually put some tokens on it for chess pieces, then same the campaign. That way you just load the chess campaign an away you go !

I would totally host something like that if someone where to create it :)

As for random stacking, that sounds very intruiging. I imagine that something like that could be done in the new command framework.

It wasn't so much random stacking as a way to draw a imagefile card inside of maptool. the 0verlay was because it would need to be drawn face down. this is a flashback to my ccg too suggestion of earlier, but at this point maptools supports everthing necessary except for token rotation and card drawing and the card drawing is a good deal more important. I'm gald you liked the idea, i have been looking at lackey, but it is rahter cumbersome, and maptools is a lot slicker. you guys rock!!
