Delve into the confounding twists and turns of the Bastardhall online with the upcoming Bastion of Blasphemies Adventure Path Module for Foundry VTT! Learn about the design and perks of the module in today's blog!
y'all do amazing work with the foundry adventure modules. i've been running abomination vaults and it makes things so easy for me as a dumb little baby GM.
particularly stoked that this one is gunna use the multi-floor scenes. it's such a cool feature. my players will finally be able to throw enemies out of 3rd-story windows properly <3

So if that single map was printed IRL at 300dpi, that's... (quick maths)
... 13.3 by 10 feet? :o

Thank you, thank you, owls!!
Looks and sounds very cool! I hope the performance is good, but having a massive multi level map is very cool as a GM for handling things. Makes it easier for sure!

Definitely think this would be my preferred way of either running or playing Bastion of Blasphemies! Having a really solid ambience is super important for some AP's and they end up feeling a lot better when run on a VTT with dynamic lighting and sound to utilize, whereas it's a bit more difficult (but not impossible, certainly) to capture that same "isolated" feel at a live table. The Strange Aeons AP had a very similar emphasis on that as well, when my group ran through it on Roll 20 (we also had a GREAT GM for running a horror game)
Very excited for Bastion of Blasphemies to shape out in a similar manner! =D

It would be SO cool and fun to print a big map like this at a con or something. If only!It's 180x240 1" squares. So 15x20 feet!
BoB is a large boy.
I've always wondered what one of these big maps would look like, printed out at a scale of 1 square = 1 real world inch. But as expensive as it would be to print out a map that would cover the footprint of a small (or even medium) bus, it's more than that. Since there are multiple levels of giant maps like this. I did the math ages ago for Scarwall from Curse of the Crimson Throne and mapping out that castle (which is large but not as large as Bastardhall) would have resulted in a map folio product that, if I recall correctly, would have cost folks like $500 in late 2000s bucks to buy. And then again and again every month if they wanted maps for every volume of Pathfinder and not just one book.
Today, print costs and logistics are even more complicated and expensive, but the ability to use VTTs and projectors and even monitors as maps makes it finally viable to do things like this, like folks are seeing over on Foundry. It's not easy nor inexpensive to set up though, that's for sure!
That explains the delay in release. That's a lot of hoops for optimization, which I very much appreciate. I know this will be well worth the wait!
Quick question: Will there be a bundle of this module + the PDF in the store like with other adventure paths with Foundry modules?
