Stuck in a Square World (April Fools)

The free full archives are attached to the bottom of this post. Yes, that includes the Foundry modules, the PDF, etc. It's all free.

(Website link if you want to stare at it on my very pretty website with all the thumbnail teasers and stuff.)

A very silly parody. Now you, too, can torture your players when their next wild magic teleportation goes wrong. Or if you actually use the portal joke variant from the Japanese Mountain Village Temple map, now you have a proper place to send them!

This is a kinda-sorta spiritual remake of my very old April Fools map from 2021, which is only incidentally topical, haha. I didn’t even consider the (currently) upcoming movie until I was already through my planning with it.

Thoughts

• There’s a consistent problem where if you set up a trio of portals too close to each other, each portal will preferentially target the closest. If you want to do a silly diversion, have a teleportation go wrong and put them on the path to go set up a new portal in a more distant location (hey look, there’s some desert & snow variants in this pack. there’s your distant locations.)

• Alternatively, you can just use it as a quick opportunity to give them some very weird magical loot!

• I would treat every step up as a 2× cost movement, if your system cares. Climbing meter-high ledges must be exhausting!

Contents

Edit: Oh yes there's also a 140ppi WEBP asset pack included with all the downloads so you can drop matching portals or items or whatever in wherever you want on any map.

• Natural: Nothing around but the trees & the bees.

• Portal Open/Closed: It’d be a shame if it suddenly closed for no reason whatsoever. I hope that doesn’t happen.

• Square Hut: Was this already here, or did someone build it?

• Aether Portal: And they said it’d never work.

• Desert: A distant empty desert, with or without portal.

• Snow: A distant empty snowscape, with or without portal.

• Canopy Overlays: Built for VTT canopy usage!

• Day/Night Variants: Wherever applicable!

Dimensions

• 24”×36” wide/tall

Reminder

I am not sorry. I will continue to sin against good taste & reason, patronage-enabled or otherwise.

Also thank you etc etc
