Layered files

Want to go a bit deeper down the rabbit hole of creation? Make you own campaigns online? Bought digital maps in the past that you wish were easy to modify? Wanted to have the flexibility of game companies get from professional cartographers? Well then, now you can! All of the reward tiers come with at least 1 full Adobe PSD layered map file (The Mouth of Doom, Level 1C).

What are layered files?

Layered files are the under-the-hood files that are used to create maps in Adobe Photoshop CC or GIMP (these are the major image applications). These are provided as PSD files which are easily translated into XCF (native GIMP) freeware alternative for exporting into usable formats like PNG or JPG.

Easily manipulate the grid scale/type.
Hide secret areas or remove unwanted rooms Crop, resize or otherwise adjust the color/size or file export format.
Use them to customize Rappan Athuk or make them the starting point for you own creations and campaigns.
Label the locations, add your own new ones
Add you own twists or extras.
Make color adjustments to individual elements (floors, walls, grids).
Export player maps from your own non-commercial creations.
Make small adjustments to fit the maps into your favorite VTT.
Create print ready files for your own use.
Export them to the format you need, including making layered PDF files with grid toggles.


Orcus thinks you really should check this out!

Been looking forward to this since there was a whisper it was coming out. RA is massive and I did not want to have to make the maps for online games ;)

Backed and ready for the images!

Hi!

Same here. I have been putting this off for a couple of years due to the maps. While there are many nice things I have gotten through kickstarters, this is the first one I consider a MUST HAVE! :)

Looks like an amazing Kickstarter project. I backed it as well.

Now if only I could buy the frigging adventure module. Too bad we don’t have a ruleset for it :(

I wonder if can run RA under the AD&D ruleset. (I enjoy 5e, but it isn’t really like the games I used to play, still more video-gamey than what I am used to.)

I'm planning on it. The original was run under AD&D so I don't see why not...

This looks pretty amazing simply for the maps even if one is not interested in a running Rappan Athuk!

If they make 27,500 by midnight on Nov 5th, they will be adding an additional level : 7B.

It'd be nice to see that - they are at 25,200 now, so there IS a shot - check it out.

My problem is this: I have spent a lot of money on Kickstarters these past few years. I am never satisfied with missed delivery dates, which seems to be all the rage and in vogue. Further, some of what I've already paid for is over 18 months past due, looking like it will be lucky to not go past the 24 month past due milestone before fulfillment.

Further, I'm interested in a true 5e campaign version of RA that I can buy in the FG store and a PDF I can put on my tablet and hit the ground running DMing it. The maps are great looking quality, but I just don't have the time in my personal life to add yet another all encompassing development project to what already exists.

Last time the wife threw a rolling pin and the Vita Mix at me when she saw what I spent, so there's that too....

Yup, I dig it.

I WANT to buy the $80 version, but currently, I am only at the $20 level. I am really only into this for the maps themselves to reuse them in my own creations using them as dungeon levels - not necessarily from same dungeon (that's why I'd like to get the PSD versions if could too)

But, can't go $80 right now before holidays. Will miss out on whatever "perks" are added only in this KS - but will probably splurge on the maps after they've been out a while and subject to sales.
But I'm in the KS to at least play with that first level :)

55 gets you all the maps in jpg. 85 is what you need for the psd stuff.

They are working on a 5e version (releasing the entry level as a bonus as part of the 5e Kickstarter). They work closely with Smiteworks, so I expect that there will be a FG version (or versions as it exists in Pathfinder as well and who knows, maybe a S&W ruleset will eventually show up). Their 5e products lead posts regularly here.

If you want to run an AD&D version, S&W is 0E with all the bells and whistles, so very close to AD&D and should be easy to convert.

They are in the last 32 hours at 299 backers.

Newest challenge is to hit 350 backers to include to all backers yet another level (an older Kickstarter one 7B) for all backers.

So even for a $5 backing (I’d go no less than 10 though for more stuff), you would get the first level in psd/jpg and a bunch of nice stretch goals. Try that at least or go large ;). I think the maps alone, forgetting any Rappan Athuk use, are a pretty great resource for any DM especially an FG one.

Agreed. Unfortunately I lack the time to build yet another mega campaign.

Same issue here. Campaign is already settled, adventures bought ( and full localization into German, including FG porting with treasure, traps and stuff done for Pathfinder D0, D1, D1.5,...)
As a side note I had a hard time to obtain physical localized Pathfinder material (adventures, pawns, condition cards,..) as it‘s all out of stock and won‘t be replenished due to low demand it says..
