I'm about to finish my regional guide about Tymanther (just proof reading for grammar and stuff). For now I have lore about the region, the clans and stuff. I have to thank Ed Greenwood and Erin Evans, as they have answered a lot of lore questions that have helped me writing this document. And I'm now searching for a beta-readers or two.

I'd love to publish this on DM's Guild, but I have no idea on how to create 5e stuff. So, any help to convert some monsters from 4e to 5e, or to create some sub-classes would be gladly welcomed.

I'm pretty sure I downloaded all the Dragon/Dungeon content before they blew up the DDI archives. And yes, I do have MV: Threats to Nentir Vale.

More than dragon art, I need dragonborn art. There are a few in the DM's Guild resources... but I would be happy if they would have allowed just to use the 4e art.

I guess any humanoid dragon-men would be useful as well.

The beta pdf is almost ready, I guess I will share it here tonight m



Of course. I could also send you the code to just copy paste into gmbinder if you want to continue with it. I’ll do some more work and look for some dragon art. There is some promising pics on shutterstock but they charge unfortunately. I’ll.see what I can find.

Meh, I like the Stained Glass effect from Lunapic.com much, much better, and it is free to use.

This would be really helpful. I don't know how easy would be to get dragonborn art, tho. But any Mesopotamian buildings would be really great.



Just as an example, here's what took me 20 minutes. I'll explain my steps in case you want to try something similar.

1. I did a search in pixabay.com for "mesopotamia" and this image came up as free from a photographer named tunaolger.

Mesopotamia Art from Pixabay

2. I didn't like the idea of a RW photograph, so I altered it using befunky.com which I have a subscription to (well worth it).

Here is a crosshatch version....

Here is a cartoonized version...

There are literally dozens of other versions I could make, just doing this to sample.

3. I used easy code to copy and paste and change what you want to put the image in Gmbinder. This is the final product. I don't like the aesthetics as is, but its just to show you it takes a really short time.

To both. There is a section for players and other for DM's. But, as I said, is mostly lore. Like, info about the clans, the status blades and ranks, the different factions, the marriage contracts, and foodstuffs, among other things.

I just want a few "mechanic rules" to be able to share this in DM's Guild.
keftiu Posted - 17 Feb 2020 : 05:18:58
What does it cover? Is this aimed at DMs or players?
Zeromaru X Posted - 17 Feb 2020 : 04:49:07
Thank you both. As soon as I finish with the proof-reading, I'll send you a link with the document.

I’d be over the moon to read it!

Also, you can go pretty light on mechanics and still sell on the Guild; my Eberon book is all fluff except for a single spell.
