All Rolled Up - 2016-08-15


Hello again fellow gamers. This week I want to shine the spot light on a small company in the United Kingdom that has been creating a really neat product that can be very useful when you have to travel to your next gaming session. The couple behind this amazing idea, Fil and Paul Baldowski are very talented and passionate about what they do. They simply refer to their dice bags as ''ARU''.




 It can easily hold your sizeable collection of dice, tokens, pens and pencils as well notes pads. All of it can be rolled up and tied up for easy carrying. They even have ''Tiny ARU''.


 They have many colours, patterns and style to choose from as well as some that have patterns based on movies, TV shows, and some anime.




They also make and or carry accessories such as dice trays, fasteners, card boxes, etc. And they recently added a new line of gaming accessories that all gamers love:
''Dice from the Q Workshop ''


I've bought a few ARU for myself (the first two pictures are my own ''Red Dragon'' ARU), as well as a couple of them for friends, so they make great gifts. So far, their delivery delay has been quite short, even though the Atlantic ocean separates us.

Speaking of gifts, they also offer gift certificates of whatever amounts you prefer. All in British pounds of course.

    I've considered getting some of their stuff. The shipping is what's holding me back. Do you remember how much it was for you?

SCI-FI MAPS ARE NOT A FICTION, THEY EXIST!

Here's a quick blog post about a new Kickstarter called '' Distant Frontiers Poster Map Set ''. 8 maps on Four double sided posters 22x34 inches each. They look really nice with plenty of details for your futuristic setting. Also, as of this writing, they less than 300$ from being funded, with 5 days left to their KS campaign. Some of the stretch goals look great too (arctic base camp, alien jungle, and maybe more? ).

Shaintar Character Builder and Adventure Generator

It's all about the story, right? Mr. Richard Woolcock’s savage-stuff.blogspot site is a great resource for all kinds of things. He’s put together a lot of source material for Savage Worlds and other rules system thru the years and a fellow gamer and member of the Nerds-International family Karlen ‘’of-the-hill-people’’ Kendrick has contributed as well. I will be writing about a recent game I ran and the reason I mention these guys and their resources. I recently ran a Shaintar One-Shot game for some friends, in Fantasy Grounds. I didn’t have as much time as I would’ve liked in order to prepare, so I used the website tool to give me an idea for a scenario (see the link below), and simply used some pre-gens from a previous One-Shot I had run last fall. link: Shaintar Adventure Generator The adventure generator is a great way to get ideas and inspiration, even if you’re not running a Shaintar campaign. Just substitute the appropriate element that suits your own setting

Random Encounter!

A sweet Amazon find! Hey, hey! Look at what I found by chance on Amazon this morning. I was shopping for something completely different but discovered this Area of Effect template. It includes Cube and Radius AoE as well as a 15ft cone and a D12 random direction indicator. Pretty cool for those popular D20 systems.  Link: Byhoo Spell AOE Damage Marker  If the link doesn't work: look for: ''Byhoo Spell AOE Damage Marker D&D Area Effect Template'' on Amazon. Also found these two boxed set of Dry/Wet Erase map tiles. Both sets are reversible. One is Forest/Stone and the other a generic blank White/Parchment. And both also have ''dungeon'' objects. Links: The Master's Atlas (Grass/Stone) The Master's Atlas (Blank/Parchment) If the link doesn't work: look for: ''The Master's Atlas (Blank/Parchment)'' and ''The Master's Atlas (Grass/Stone)'' on Amazon.
