How cool is this:

Uh ... yeah ... I want.

Seems easy. Gamer Printshop (or a local staples) can provide it if you have the picture. I think pics are on the Fraternity website somewhere (but I should update those as I've done some minor tweaks). You can also find them here:

The 3e Ravenloft screen kinda sucked, not having a lot of useful tables. And, for a PF game, the 2e one is equally useless. Would be nice to have one specific to Ravenloft with related images but with useful information.

A pity. I would find a 3.5 edition Ravenloft screen more useful than a PF one.
I agree that the 3e screen kinda sucked (sorry to those that worked on it, it did).

Perhaps you can put in the right place (Wherever that is) the "outside" of the screen?

Well then provide the tables YOU want and any other information you require and we'll design/print/ship you a custom GM's screen just for you. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Here's what I'm doing on the inside, so far:

Shouldn't be that hard to look up the info on the SRD or my 3e PHB/DMG and change the page numbers, or compare DCs. Some might change a little more (diplomacy for sure).

The outside is tricky, as I'm not sure how much of a gap there will be between pages (or how much there'll need to be between to allow some folding) so I don't want a single big image stretching across all four pages. Plus I'm not sure how much of a margin the printer has, if white space needs to be accounted for.
I'm probably going to just have the word "RAVEN" on one side and "LOFT" on the other, possibly in larger font that I can 3D-ify and texturize, possibly with some other smaller images and some Mist.

I don't think I have the traditional font used for the Ravenloft logo, however, I have fonts and 3D-ifying them is no big deal, though I could probably create a better mist than with this sample, but just for ideas...



The first font is called Elric, the second two are both Celtic fonts.

I believe it's called "Black Castle" and is free IIRC. But I'll probably photoshop something together and turn that into a PDF.

Jester goes hardcore for his group I see. *Is jealous XD*

Yeah I was actually curious about making a map out of Raven's Bluff. (irony in the name? And a castle on the cliff in Faerun? o.O')

Had a picture in PDF forum of it and wanted to blow it up and maybe use it in a future campaign, but wanted it to be markable so i could track things happening city wide. Maybe i'll check with my local staples then?

Although I created this map last year, it's a type of map I haven't posted in this thread - isometric styled map.

This is the village of Kitsumura, a community of henge (animal shapechangers) in Kaidan, as part of Dim Spirit, Curse of the Golden Spear: Part 2. While not directly usable as map for minis, it does give players a good idea of what the village looks like. It was also an experiment to depict cascades and waterfalls in isometric view.

Kitsumura (means 'fox village'). Here's a link to the full sized map - Kitsumura



Enjoy!

Well, partly for them, mostly for me. While the map is so I can show-off locations I also wanted a really nice poster map of the setting and having a hard copy of the map I spent months working on is a nice thrill.

Sure. I submitted mine online. They have a pretty solid website for that sort of thing, and you can pick the Staples its delivered to.

Nice. I'll hopefully check it out end of the month.... (Paycheck time) xD

I just came across this on Google image search and had to drop in to tell you how much I love this!!! Seeing my corner of the Pathfinder Campaign Setting bordering Barovia is beyond awesome. Nicely done!

And for anyone who doesn't know about Ustalav, check our Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Rule of Fear. It is unabashedly, self-indulgently a 64-page love letter to Ravenloft, and I bet if you're on these boards you'll find something in there (or in the related Carrion Crown Adventure Path) to like.

Again though, AWESOME MAP Blackest Sheep!

Welcome to our little corner of the internet.

I quite liked Rule of Fear, and I think we had a thread on converting elements of Carrion Crown to Ravenloft. There be a number of PF fans on these boards.
I just started a Pathfinder 'Loft game myself and blatantly stole the Harrowing/Hero Points rules from Carrion Crown, replacing the Harrow Deck with the Tarokka deck.

I'll add my welcome to Jester's, Mr. Schnieder. Ustalav's Ravenloftian inspiration was not lost on us. Classic Horrors Revisited, Rule of Fear, Carrion Crown and Prince of Wolves have all been discussed often here for their potential for use in Ravenloft. Thanks for keeping that spirit alive and evolving it into Ustalav!
