Having said that, "d30 hold person in the bathroom" is probably not what one might guess initially. Well, no, it might be.Spawn of Endrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10431848914619887998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038823840472916624.post-36448492604427855912011-03-04T07:45:40.853-05:002011-03-04T07:45:40.853-05:00At least one other great idea was "spawned&qu...At least one other great idea was "spawned" in the bathroom... the d30 hold person!

This is both immensely interesting for the reasons Telecanter suggests, and looks like it generates some pretty trippy-looking areas / monuments.

I'm not really very visually creative, but I like the way text and numbers can be transformed into interesting patterns like this. I associate numbers with colors, so sometimes I'll take a number like pi and make a mosaic-type abstract thing out of it. I'm an algorithm type of person, I guess.<br /><br />Another thing with these is I envision making say four of these and laying them out as a complex of monuments that are each different entrances to a dungeon, but would each represent a theme "DOOM", "FIRE", "FRIGID", "ACRID", or whatever. The PCs wouldn't know this at all, it would just be a hidden dealio in the design.Spawn of Endrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10431848914619887998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038823840472916624.post-44241705758204479022011-02-28T13:16:11.568-05:002011-02-28T13:16:11.568-05:00First, yes!
