Virtual Tabletop Gaming : Review by Eternity Gaming
If you haven’t tried it yet, now is a
great time to look into virtual tabletop gaming. Even when your
gaming group is available to play in your area, gaming online saves
drive time. Plus, during the holiday season, you can play with
friends and family, without the travel. Though it can be hard to beat
the advantages (and fun) of seeing someone face-to-face for your
TTRPG night,
technology is helping us all get a little more RPG in our lives.
Fantasy City
We bring up virtual tabletop gaming
because one of our great artists, David Hemenway (more on him,
below), has a host of graphics and assets that are a perfect fit for
online play. His
Fantasy City set enables game masters to create custom towns for
your RPG. The digital set comes with assets for buildings, roofs,
chimneys, awnings, signs, bushes, streets... and really everything
you need for the PC’s “home base.”
The great thing about David’s work is
the custom factor. There are still versions of it out today, but
there was a game for PS1 called “RPG Maker.” In that game – as
the title suggests - you could design your own RPG. Then, you could
invite your friends over and make them fight their way through the
dungeons you created. Between quests, they could then get better
gear, get instructions, and find rest in the towns you made.
Fantasy City, and
its expansion sets, bring a level of new creative ability to your
tabletop gaming sessions. Of course, you can always play using your
own imagination and theater of the mind. But when you have access to
graphics, especially during online play, why not build the town
you’ve always imagined for your group? For those who love building
worlds for your friends to adventure in, you need the flexibility to
create towns the way you see them – not just stock images created
by another map designer.

host of other titles is David Hemenway. You can see all his work by

could ever find on any virtual gaming platform. Many have over 400
graphics. They can be mixed and matched, overlayed, and as mentioned
above, used for custom – whatever you need. Virtually anything you
can come up with as a setting for your game, you can find with us.
