LAYOUT DESIGN

This personal project was a forray into developing a brand for a tabletop RPG. This involved developing a brand name (V A S T) as well as the design schemes for character sheets, a monster manual, game boards and many illustrations for the variable characters, monsters and ships that inhabit this particular universe 

CHARACTER SHEET

​

The design of the character sheet was probably the most mechanically complex aspect of this project. In order to begin I needed to develop an entire rule set creature stats, combat and exploration mechanics, and then playtest hundreds of games. In truth the mechanics are still in a constant state of refinement and future updates will reflect that as I adapt the design accordingly. There is also the consideration of online sheets versus ones that you can print at home

MONSTER MANUAL

​

Similar to the Character Sheet design the Monster Manual required the development of mechanics and stats that are very much still in a stage of refinement. Additionally this required many illustrations, all of which can be found in the Character Illustrations section of my website

TABLETOP BOARDS

​

This particular portion of the exercise was actually the easiest once the broad strokes of the mechanics were down. You basically start with a grid pattern and work in illustrative detail. in this instance I there is a ship design that players can utilize as well as a star map. expect more ship designs to come!
