How To Play with an Isometric Grid
🕑 Added 2021-08-10 11:51:06 +0000 UTCEver wondered how to run an isometric encounter on your virtual tabletop and retain all of the grid functionality? I hope to break it down for you in our new 3-step guide.
I find it strangely satisfying to write how-to guides, so this was a nice side project for me. I hope that it's also useful to you or someone you know! I'm not sure if you could run a campaign purely in isometric yet, but it's certainly a flashy thing to bring out once in a while for a dramatic encounter.
It's also a deceptively simple way to draw in 3D so, if you want to up your map-drawing game, I highly suggest looking up some of the many guides on the internet...

Well, it's time for me to put away the keyboard and get back to drawing! Wish me luck...

Sweet! I thought for a moment this was a post by Epic isometric as I patronize them as well... it pays to have multiple patreons!

I may not be the best at it, but I've been trying this in some of my recent packs. It's a skill I hope to develop. :)

Looks very cool and nice to have something new to challenge my players with. Bonus that I have Roll20. Can I suggest something that may not work but if it does would be cool. How about an image with a forced perspective? Basically take something like trees, make them bigger up front and smaller in back. Thinking it might make the grids in back seem farther away.
