Using Content After Installation

All the content of this module is held in Compendiums. Currently there are four:

  • Tor TotNG Scenes - All the maps, two versions for each floor
  • Tor TotNG Journals - WIP, documenting the content in-module
  • Tor TotNG Actors - Empty, placeholder for future content
  • Tor TotNG Macros - Empty, placeholder for future content

To use the scenes or journals, simply drag them from the Compendium to the Scenes or Journals in game.

Tor's Maps and Grimmash's Maps

You'll find two version of each map: One by Tor, the artist, and one by Grimmash, the guy putting making this module to share the maps in a ready to play format. The maps are names "Level X Tor Walls" and "Level X Grimmash Walls", respectively. We decided to give you both versions because why not? Pick the style you like best, or use either as a springboard to make the maps your own! Short descriptions of the general differences below, a longer article from mostly Tor in Walling Approaches.

Tor's Maps

Tor uses a lot more third party modules than Grimmash do for teleportation and macro graphic effects. He also uses walls in a looser style to show off art and make moving tokens easier. These maps include lots of landscape walls and such. There are also visual effects on some drawings provided by macros.

Grimmash's Maps

Tighter, a little more claustrophobic in places, no third party mods, and less animation. A more bare bones, "I'll adjust it while we play" approach to running the maps.
