Metal badges + Community Copies

2 Replies

To celebrate Face Folio going Gold Metal Best Seller on DriveThruRPG, I’m making available 10 community copies of Face Folio: COMMUNITY COPY CODE

FF Gold Of course, the idea is for people to use the code if they cannot afford to buy a copy (life stuff). There is no date limit on this offer, but after 10 uses the code will expire.

On a related note, a few days ago my ‘Hex Flower Cookbook’ went Platinum Metal Best Seller on DriveThruRPG. I couldn’t be more pleased because this product is Pay-What-You-Want (so in effect it is already a community version).

When people pay for a PWYW version, it gives me validation as to what people like and helps to steer my creative efforts! For anyone that might not know, Hex Flowers are a bit like a random table, but with a ‘memory‘.

All my finished Hex Flower Stuff can be found on DriveThruRPG.

6 Day Example | ‘In the Heart of the Unknown’ Hex Crawl

Leave a reply

I recently added a helper file to my In the Heart of the Unknown product (see below). Basically, it gives 6 days worth of randomly generated hex crawling adventure goodness.

The Table part show what was rolled on the 2D6 and what direction you would move off in on the Hex Flower. And the Hex Flowers are marked with red arrows showing those movements:

So, on Day 1: 
Weather roll = 10 – predominate weather goes from rain to sunny
Terrain roll = 10 – the terrain remains as plains
Encounter roll = 5 – a random encounter is possible (or is distant)

Day 2: 
Weather roll = 6 – predominate weather becomes more overcast
Terrain roll = 9 – the terrain becomes more woody
Encounter roll = 3 – the party have some travel related mishap

etc.

6 days of travel

In the Heart of the Unknown is PWYW, and is not too far from turning platinum best seller on DriveThruRPG:

666

I was recently watching a YouTube review (<– Joke) of the ItHoTU and they mentioned that a sort of rule book would be handy to accompany this one pager. In retrospect, I think they are correct. I’m perhaps a little too overly obsessed with getting these things down on one page. Maybe when this thing does turns platinum, I do just that.

What is a Hex Flower anyway?

It is a bit like a random table, but with an inbuilt memory. To find out more check out my Hex Flower Cookbook (also very very close to being platinum best seller).
