Share Your Screenshots!

So now that we have a shiny new forum to play with, what is everyone working on?

I'd love to see screenshots or stories about all the fun things you're doing!

Here is how I set up my Monster Manuals in the Mechanics Reference.

EDIT: I set them up by Monster Type.

I'm always looking for ways to keep the topic listings short and this definitely fits the bill, thanks Lee!

Very tidy!

I'm a visual person so a concise stat block is helpful to me. And I like to embed a shortened version in encounters as a quick reminder so I include it in the monster description so I can cut/paste.

Most of the new 5e default snippets will be very situational (I mean, when is someone going to search for AC or HP or Ability Scores as a filter?) but there's no reason not to type a few more letters and numbers. I may eventually cut everything except Alignment, Challenge, Size and Type.

Totally digging the stat block! Did you just create a table and format it like that? Thanks for sharing

 

[daplunk]

Yeah that stat block... that's sexy.

 

[AEIOU]

I started with a complicated table that I'd cut/paste from Excel. But I'm lazy at heart so I keep refining. This table is just a simple one made in RW, shaded the same yellow as GM notes and given a maroon border. I can add rows if needed for spells or whatnot. I use the stat block on the monster and NPC listings, and the condensed stat block in encounters.

To populate the stat block, I create the mob/NPC in HeroLab so I can create encounters and use them in d20pro, output the mob/NPC statblock to PDF, then copy/paste the lines into the table and change the font to Tahoma. Super simple.

I must admit, I don't put the stat blocks into RW with the exception of the HL Snippet. I don't need it because all combat is handled in HL. But... it looks so good!

For fun I wondered how man screenashots to show off what I have entered in my latest project, "Return to Temple of Elemental Evil".

!6, and I am about 2/3rds or so done.

5 of 16 here.

 

[Exmortis]

5 more of 16

Took 3 bonus screenshots to show off one room.

Now you know why I have not made any new videos, been kinda busy.

Holy crap ex! I don't even want to know how long it took you to get all that info in, I am awed at your tenaciousness! In your bonus shots, there were links in red, is that something you set up or do you have to go in and do that manually? Aside from the Critical/Important/Information styles that you manually apply, I'd love to have the ability to customize certain elements and have it auto-apply

This is what I was working on pretty solidly for the last few days. A massive encounter where my player's keep was sieged by the Earth Cult.

I think it was about 85 enemies all up coming down on the keep who had about 18 bodies (7PCs) to assist in the defense.

Was a hell of a fight.

I think Hero Lab wanted to die on me. It struggled when loading in the encounter files haha but it slogged through and made it all possible.

 

[BJ]

Wow! That is one epic battle!

 

[Topdecker]

I have been entering in the Dread Sea Dominions, the setting for Beasts & Barbarians which is a Savage Worlds setting.

Sorry for the delayed response, I missed the question.

The red is me. All aggressive "people, objects, what ever" get highlighted in red, bold and underlined text. I do this to make the GM instantly aware there are aggressive "things" at this location to make a note of them.

It is manual, and not sure how to make it auto, as the system will try and auto link "the word orc" but I only want it linked in the "Encounter Information" snippet area. I manually have it highlighted in the introductory GM notes section.

Same as the treasure being nicely highlighted.

Side note I am now done with the Return to Temple of Elemental Evil. I am working on "Against the Slave Lords" A0 to A4 anniversary release. I am mid way through A2.

I'm working on entering my Forgotten Realms world into RW, furnishing it with locations my group has visited, places I like and have had previous adventures in and so on. An ever growing task

Most location information is gathered from the Forgotten Realms Wiki, added some more stuff from other sources/books. And added own "stuff" based on our adventures. Google and Pinterest for awesome images.
