For Flashing Blades?

17th Century minimalist
Swordpoint (Alan Bahr musketeer zine)
Musketeers v Cthulhu
Regime diabolique
And so on..
(It's going to have to justify itself)

dicemusicbeer.bsky.social•7 days ago

Top marks on both of those

dicemusicbeer.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ah is that actually 3

Ah never heard of 17th Century Minimalist

alistairsmith.bsky.social•7 days ago

Looks beautiful tho.

Despite working with paper as part of my job for 15 years +, I still have this chart pinned to my desktop.

paulfricker.bsky.social•8 days ago

Bugs me a bit that 52 doubled is 105? Maybe there's a reason some of the measurements don't simply double.

The numbers 297x210 are permanently engraved on my brain

Hannah Fry is fab, and this is such a geniune rationale for why it's great. I love it!

lordjubalonflux.bsky.social•8 days ago

How big is it!?

viscountjonkeer.bsky.social•8 days ago

lordjubalonflux.bsky.social•8 days ago

I read the alt text and got that, I meant how big was Kaye’s chart

viscountjonkeer.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ah, just noticed the 'reply to'.

dyn.bsky.social•7 days ago

Shudders at recollection of mistakenly tiny plot in centre of A0 plotter

judgefredd.bsky.social•8 days ago

Bigger is better though, right?

viscountjonkeer.bsky.social•8 days ago

Erm...

May be a problem at table

judgefredd.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is what easels, giant cork boards, thumb tacks and lines of red string were invented for!

viscountjonkeer.bsky.social•7 days ago

That'd be lovely but if I had that sort of space it'd have my big Spinward Marches map on it

mrblipvert.bsky.social•8 days ago

I was worried you thought it was too small!

Pop a clear perspex sheet over it on the table. Use some of Blue Moon's 15mm "The Three Muskeers" range to track where PCs are in Paris.

Not helpful?

Is that the map of 17th century Paris with numbered buildings on it? If so, I've had the devil of a time finding a good key for it ...

viscountjonkeer.bsky.social•8 days ago

No, it's just a few named points (like the Bastille).

It's just a bit of bling to distract the players (not anything to do with any map fetish, no, not at all)

I'll be using 28mm and Loke battle maps

mrblipvert.bsky.social•8 days ago

28mm. Right. So , Foundry, then.

Have you seen Rattrap's Gloire minis rules, BTW?

thedicemechanic.bsky.social•8 days ago

Bah, keys are for cowards. Improv baby ;-)

mrblipvert.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ha! Improv is all very well but for those of us into the "tabletop immersive sim" RPG/ TTRPG playstyle #TTISG ...

morganrhiannon.bsky.social•8 days ago

A1 isn’t that flipchart size?
It looks good though.

viscountjonkeer.bsky.social•8 days ago

Unfortunately I didn't make that link.

It's glorious but sadly not that travel or table friendly. However, it is here and it will be used!

vodkashok.bsky.social•8 days ago

Had to explain to someone yesterday that A0 isn't just a little bigger than A4...

dyn.bsky.social•7 days ago

I have a fun book by Ledoux somewhere that this reminded me of. Can't find an archive to view but this is slightly similar https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_EstKYtJpOK0C/page/n159/mode/1up
