🎉 Kingmaker Begins! 🎉 Week 1 - The Town of Roserun, Doctor's House and the Duelling Stone and an Early Preview of our GM Pack.

Today marks the first release for our new theme: Kingmaker, and I’m very excited to finally get this in front of your ball shaped eye doodads!

Much like the sandbox nature of Kingmaker itself, all of our maps this month will be focused on fleshing out one specific region, the Barony of Estania. Rather than hopping all over the place, we’re digging deep and building something you can truly live in with your players.

🗺️ The Barony of Estania - Part of our Fallen Kingdom Setting

At 60 miles wide and 40 miles high, Estania is a big region, and we’re cramming it full of everything you’ll need to run long-term adventures, political intrigue, wilderness exploration, and messy local drama.

Below you’ll find a preview of the region map as it currently stands, but for now, let’s focus on the main event: today’s releases.

🏘️ This Week’s Maps

The Town of Roserun

A small but vital market town whose wooden bridge is the only reliable crossing of the River Ere for hundreds of miles. Control Roserun, and you control trade, travel, and trouble.

The Doctor’s House

Home of a well-to-do local doctor in the heart of Roserun, who definitely isn’t secretly a necromancer....absolutely not....for sure. Nothing to see here.

Note: I also made quite a bit of progress on mapping out Roserun Fort, but sadly three maps this week is all you’re getting out of me, but keep an eye out for that one later! 😉

The Duelling Stone

About 5 miles outside Roserun, an ancient standing stone sits atop a low hill. Placed there by persons unknown, for purposes long forgotten, but now used by locals as a place to settle grudges at the point of a sword.

📦 GM Packs – Early Preview

In my 2026 Roadmap post last week, I talked about wanting to introduce GM Packs as a way to add more value and utility to the Patreon.

To give you a rough idea of what that might look like, I’ve included a PDF in Master Cartographer's Rewards folder.
This is very much substance over style for now, but it should give you a clear sense of what I’m thinking in terms of contents and usefulness.

👉 Please let me know what you think! Feedback at this stage is hugely helpful.

The Plan for Estania

Also included is our rough working plan for the Barony of Estania. You’ll see annotations all over the map with suggested Points of Interest:

• Red – Maps that still need to be made

• Green – Maps we already have in the archive

• Orange – Maps releasing today

As you can see, it’s already looking pretty full—but I want more ideas.
Drop suggestions in the comments below or hop over to our Discord, where we’ve got a dedicated channel just for this project.

❤️ Want More?

If you’re enjoying this direction and want to see Estania grow into a fully realized sandbox you can run straight from the page:

Your support directly makes projects like this possible—and helps keep the maps coming at a frankly irresponsible pace.

As always, thank you for being here, and welcome to Kingmaker. 👑

Cheers!
