Just got the new SWEX 50 fathoms and had to try and make a theme.

(If someone is porting 50 fathoms and wants to use this just ask)

If no-one else ports 50 Fathoms I just might have to do it myself!

I have been playing around with the "decal" object and realised a neat trick with it as the two pictures below should show...

First picture is the "standard" 1024x768 view the "decal" covers the whole screen.

Second picture is my 1290x1080 screen the "decal" is centred and the "background" (wooden planks) are viewable as is the sidebar.

:D

I personally like the one with decal centered on the wood plank background. Shows off the map better.

I was looking for a project to work on over the Christmas break. Updating 50 Fathoms to SW Deluxe Edition and SW 3.2 seems like it would fit the bill. It will also serve to get me familiar with some of the changes in the latest SW ruleset. I'll drop Doug a note and see if it's available. (Unless you REALLY want to do it.)

They are actually the same! The only difference is the screen size of FGII.

Feel free (there are more than enough Hellfrost adventures to convert!)

I've done more that this but some of the graphics I have decided need redoing so this is all I'll admit to right now :D

I really want to get a copy of this theme. I play in a Sunday game of this on FGII.

Play testing is looking good, just waiting on Doug to approve it and sell it :)

Couple of screen shots from our last two sessions of 50 fathoms.

One shows a boarding action by the party the other the attack of a large Monkape.

Squashing bugs in the modules as I go....

Behind the scenes Ikael, PW and myself are playing around with the CoreRPG ruleset and using that to make Savage Words 4. So once again tweaks to themes will be required, here is a current concept I have for 50 fathoms, I may well change the graphics before the final version...

Ok, It has always bothered me that the map had all the place names even if the players had not found it yet...so i photochopped this:

Just a personal preference! :)

Oh I like that!

Can I "nick" it for the 50 Fathoms Theme?

I like the concept of showcasing artwork from the book by using them as icons for the sidebar buttons. How about gold or iron ingots for the mini sidebar?

Btw, I've tried to identify the header font name for 50F and SW Deluxe, anybody know what they are?

The main fonts used I think are Adventure, Fedora for Savage Worlds.

50 Fathoms uses BlackAdder ITC and Windlass according to Adobe Reader (but neither of those appear to the be the Logo Font)

Adventure and Fedora are for the SW Explorer's Edition. What about for the Deluxe edition, do you know what it is? Adobe Helvetica or Parachute PF Fusion?

I agree that does look nice, when i took a shot at this i never had text over the side bar images...needless to say i sometimes opened the wrong "icon". Thanks!! My only thought would be does it still need the paper scroll-work behind the side bar icons... :)

You are the second person to say that, hope this resolves that issue...
