Hey, everyone. I came across a really fun dungeon delve game a few weeks ago called Map Maker. It was a kickstarter from One Page Gaming that was completed last year. He just finished another one which I backed called Map Maker Adventures. Its a game that can be played with 1-4 players without a GM and takes about 30-60 min. Exactly what I was looking for. There are some times I want a game that is quick to set up and play with my girls and this fits the bill!

I stumbled across Robocoppa who created an Italian version in MoreCore. It inspired me to create an English version in MoreCore. After working on it for a while the first version is ready for primetime I think! The author was kind enough to give me permission to release the game for free on Fantasy Grounds. I also requested and received permission from Robocoppa to use the wonderful tokens he created for the game.

For more info, you can check out the rules, forums and other info on BoardGameGeek here:

I also created two walkthrough videos of the module on youtube. The first is about the basic gameplay and the second is to show how the boss fighting works. You can view the videos here:

I hope everyone enjoys! Thanks again to One Page Gaming for allowing me to share this with all of you. Please support him and buy the game from him in physical form as well. You can find him on the BoardGameGeek forum and at [email protected].

The mod was too large to upload here so I put a link to my dropbox so you can download it. I promise its legit and you all know where to find me.. :) Note that I changed the link to an Orangedox download just so I know how often it is download. Doesn't tell me who, just let's me know how many!

Update v1.1 - Corrected broken links reported in post #9. Corrected all pregens to show "XP" instead of "SP"

Update v1.2 - Corrected broken link to official rules and added more detail to the FG conversion notes and setup story entries after watching Rob2e's playthrough on youtube. I also linked my how to play youtube videos in the FG conversion notes entry.

Update V1.3- Updated character sheets to take advantage of more core automation and added reference manual. Added an entry for an fg full walk though on how to play but haven’t populated that yet.

This is AWESOME! ThanX Gwydion for making this available to the community, and it was nice of demont9 to make his game available to us for free. I am excited about my physical copy on its way here (only $9) and it will be cool to play on FG.

Great job! AS ALWAYS!!!

Can one of the moderators consider putting this in a stickied thread so it doesn't get lost as it drops down in popularity? Just want folks to be able to find it later as a free module. Thanks!

Hi,

I've not played anything outside of 5e and Savage Worlds. I'm not sure how to create a MoreCore campaign. I thought it was essentially the same as CoreRPG but the module doesn't show if I make my campaign with that ruleset.

Thanks in advance

Garth

Update: I figured it out - disregard :)

Hi Garth

The module requires Morecore to the be the loaded ruleset for that campaign.
Have you downloaded Morecore. If so just use that as the ruleset. Then once the campaign is loaded you should find it in the modules.

Gwydion,

This looks really cool.

I'm going through the rules now and I found a missing/broken image. On Story page 00.05.5, the image links 00.05.5 Fighter Attributes and 00.05.5 Fighter Attack Point produce an error. I checked for the image (09 Danger Boss) directly in the Images list and it doesn't work either.

Thanks for the hard work and bringing it to FG!

Awesome! Thanks for stopping by the forums to say hi. I think people will love your game if they give it a shot and I've told everyone to buy the physical game from you!

Oh.. and welcome to the FG forums!

Just a quick note to say after digging into how much great stuff is in MoreCore, I'm updating the Map Maker mod to make it easier to use and take advantage of some of the great features built into MoreCore. I should have the update out this weekend. Stay tuned for anyone following this thread.

Added a reference manual using author extension and updated character sheet pregens to use more of the more core functionality.

Thanks Lord Gwydion for converting Map Maker to Fantasy Grounds. You are awesome. As always, I support the maker of the game by buying the physical copy. However, has anybody encountered script errors when loading in Fantasy Grounds? I can't get the module to run in Fantasy Grounds using More Core. I get 2 script errors that prevents Map Maker from loading. It shows in my modules but that's about it. Any advice?

Hmm. Are you trying to open it in classic or unity? I know I haven’t updated it for unity so it probably won’t work there.
