Your 2-Minute October Update

Welcome to another new month! It seems that 2022 is determined to pass us by as quickly as it can, as I can't believe I'm sitting down to write another update already. Despite time screaming by, we did make a lot of cool stuff with it! Let me summarize below:

• The Wizarding School Grounds Map from Connor Johnston (CocosTreasuryOfTokens)
  The stylized isometric map of the school grounds of a grand wizarding school complete with towers, halls, and sports field.
• Sci-Fi Industrial Interiors with variants by rootyfulA collection of modular interiors and linking pieces with which you can make an industrial-styled map of any size.
• New Tokens! September 2022 by Austin and David
  Conveniently packaged, pre-colored, ready-to-play versions of the tokens we created this month.

You may notice that this is three items and not our usual four! Indeed, we had some scheduling difficulties this month and couldn't put the pieces together in time for the final map pack, but rest assured that this isn't a new norm! In fact, it may work out for the best – I've been trying very hard to get a release ahead of schedule (to insure against this exact scenario) and this is one way to do it.

(And just to be clear, you will only be charged for three items this month! You only pay for the "paid for by patrons" posts that I publish, so you will not be charged for the missing one.)

We also released a volley of articles from our team and community! They're listed below, chock full of tokens, NPCs, stat blocks, and crackling with raw inspiration:

• Vincent’s Moving Battle Map Community Spotlight from @vynx_
  Using foam board and some other simple craft supplies, Vincent has  brought our Moving Staircase map to life for his physical tabletop!
• The Port Town of Estago by Garmbreak1
  The system-neutral port town of Estago, populated by necromancers, unscrupulous merchants, and a deranged elven ship captain.
• Port Kalgyx: Extortion on the Highest Sea by Garmbreak1
  Looking for a space-fantasy adventure? This article outlines is just such an adventure set in the midst of the Astral Sea.
• Crime and Slime – Sewer Ooze Encounter for D&D 5E by Troy McConnell
  Strange new ooze variants have filled a thief hideout in the city  sewers. What can these new slimes do, and where have the thieves gone?

We are slowly but surely catching up on our Dungeondraft backlog (thank you @AlexionStar!) and have some exciting developments underway to better utilize Smart Tiles. From September onwards we'll be keeping you updated on our Dungeondraft packs via one tidy post, and you'll receive a notification any time it receives a significant update. You can find that here: New Dungeondraft Packs! (Sep–Dec 2022).

Troy's also working on another Monk encounter, for which I'm drawing a specially-made arena which (though it only exists as a bullet-point list at this point) promises to be very fun to play on. As always, we have other maps, assets, and tokens in the cooker too! I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop.

Thank you sincerely for funding this artistic adventure, and we hope that what we're making is enriching your games! Even after all this time I am so grateful to sit down at the start of my work day knowing I get to draw cool fantasy stuff. Thank you.

Hope that you have a great October,
– Ross
