Map Artist

Posted in Hobbies, Personal on May 31st, 2011 by Peter van Arkel

For a project of mine, Erian LRP, I’m looking for someone that can draw some maps for me for use in a Live RolePlay setting. Erian is a (dutch, for now) LRP-system based on DnD rules and will eventually be released under the Open Gaming License, but the maps will remain a part of the setting, so they will not go into the system-content.

I have no budget for this, so I’m looking for someone who is willing to do this for free or for someone to point me to open source software which I can use to make good looking maps. If there is proprietary software available which is infinitely more useful, for a good price, I’m open for that as well.

Also, if interested, anyone can join in on the project as an artist, since I will need artists to make a “Monster Manual” and “Players Guide” as well. Those pieces of work /will/ go into the system content though, so any work submitted to that, is going to be part of Open Content.

Please direct anyone interested to this post, many thanks!

Regards,

Pete

sneCMS – a new project

Posted in Hobbies on May 15th, 2011 by Peter van Arkel

Okay, so I have been trying to force myself to learn better html/css and php for a very long time now. Similarly, I have been annoyed by the lack of lightweight, easy to use content management systems. I’m often asked to put up a very small website on very short notices, and I always run into the fact that usually most CMS-es are way to bloated. I really like Concrete5, which I encountered a while ago for the first time, but I guess the wish for a real simple and easy content management system was still in the back of my head, that’s why I decided to combine my wish for a new cms and the will to learn to code and start a new project: sneCMS – Simple and Easy CMS.

For the time being, I will update on this blog and I’ll probably keep doing that in the future, but when the first version comes out, I’ll put up a website at sneCMS.org.
