Blacksmith Assets
Added 2018-06-09 14:01:00 +0000 UTCHello all!
For this month's 'booster pack' of assets I've decided to start on a series of "shop assets"--a collection of venue-specific items and assets that are originally intended to help populate a store area, but like any other assets, can be creatively used far beyond that.
This month, I decided to start with the 'blacksmith assets'; using these specific assets in combination with the public tavern assets can give you a relatively easy and great looking weapon/armory storefront for you to drop your players in at moment's notice.
But, since they are weapons after all, these can easily be scattered among a combat scene, dropped into a dungeon to represent desired loot, or you could even use them as monster tokens for animated suits of armor or swords!
In order to make sure they were as detailed as I wanted them to be, I went ahead and drew the original assets at 2x my normal resolution. When you download these assets you'll see a folder for the 'high resolution' assets and a folder for the 'normal resolution' assets. You can use the 'normal resolution' files for compiling with all existing assets as normal, or you could instead blow up a map to 2x its normal size (which you typically need to do for tabletop play anyways for a 1in grid) and then drop the high resolution files on to that to keep them extra-crisp.
In any case, you can expect me to expand on this series in the months ahead by looking at more specific shops that your players may drop by in order to really flesh out your building-oriented battle maps.
Enjoy!
