All great stuff, thanks for taking part. I've updated the modules to include these files.

Well done; great work. I've updated the module to include this.

Two maps, 'Deriel's Ambush' and 'Redplum camp' I think are OK to go but the 'Bell in the Depths' map contains mult-height platforms that are causing LoS issues. There are five platforms and I've tried several methods using walls and terrain. Some ways work looking in - but don't work looking out so any suggestions on which, if any are the best way to do this would be appreciated. This is the first iteration as all five of the multi-storey platforms should be constructed the same way.

Apologies if multi-height platforms have been raised before and I'm not sure just how complex you prefer shrubbery/large boulders to be - one large block or several multiple blocks for depth and just how much fidelity is needed around trees/rocks, etc. Is there any guidance on this?

I think your solution is just perfect. There's sometimes just no right or wrong way to do something like this. We just work with the tools that we have and try to fit that into what the situation is. The DM always has the option to turn off terrain occluders if they think that they aren't quite what they would expect or how they would view the situation. The central platform in the Bell map is very problematic since it can be viewed from multiple angles and so there will necessarily be multiple ways to create the LOS. I think your solution is just fine.

For vegetation and boulders etc the first question is usually does this block LOS at all? A shrub or patch of rocky ground might count as difficult terrain by that's not the same as blocking LOS. If the terrain feature is of sufficient height then we'd want terrain occluders around it. If the terrain features are close together then we'd probably be happy with a single blocker - but if you are talking about say a forest which covers half a map then I'd be cutting that up into chunks and drawing occluders in sections. There is, again, no really right or wrong answer to this. You kinda just go with what you feel is right and what is in the description. Remember too that if there isn't going to be a lot of combat in the particular area then it may not be worth spending a huge amount of time agonizing over the situation.

I have updated the module to include your files; thanks again for taking part.

Hi,

I've been a long time away from rpg world :-( but was involved in helping on Tomb of Horrors maps. I'll try to start again very soon, but just to be sure it has not been done already ?

Here is my first try at LOS mapping. I'm sure it needs tweaking. I wasn't sure what to do with the (Spoiler) secret tunnels, so left them alone.

Nope, it's still in progress.

Hi, Loko. Thanks for taking part. If you check the first post in this thread you'll see someone else is working on HotDQ so you may want to choose another project if you want to help.

Here's the player map (Map: Dungeon_Players) from 'C01 (5E): Alagoran's Gem' adventure by AAW Games.
The 60' incline and drop to the refuse pile caused a minor headache but achieved by using multiple terrain blocks.

Nope, this one hasn't been done yet.
