The Ol’ Silver Serpent Saloon

Hey everyone!

Saddle up for this awesome new fifth edition 5-creator collaboration: The Ol’ Silver Serpent Saloon.

This collaboration is to accompany our Wild West Saloon map pack.

The Ol’ Silver Serpent Saloon is a mini-adventure for 3rd-level characters in which the party must wheel and deal with the patrons of a Weird West saloon, in order to collect the scattered components of a mythical cowboy’s outfit. A mini-adventure is a bite-sized adventure which can...

Wild West Saloon [21x35]

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the Ol’ Silver Serpent Saloon, our watering hole for all kinds of gamblers and gunslingers and other ne’er-do-wells and miscreants.

As you can see, the saloon is two storeys with a small brothel on the top floor. We made a TON of variations this week. 23 in total with an upper floor for each. We made several 'messy' versions for all those inevitable bar brawls...

Czepeku 2.0: Sharkcat Remakening

Hey everyone!

Over the last month we’ve been focusing on some quality of life upgrades around here so that you get the best experience possible being part of this community.

First of all, for the next year we plan to move from 3 maps per month to 4! That way you can get a new map every week and have something new to show off at your table every session.

Inside a Bag of Holding [55x55]

Inside a Bag of Holding 

Hey everyone! This week's theme was a tricky one! We wanted it to feel like your players were trapped in the centre of the map like it was a colosseum, a big flat surface for battling and when they're done saying whatever beasts are lurking in the bag, they can run, jump and climb their way out of the swirls of objects to the top of the bag and be free.

The three tendrils of items are meant to represent the class rpg trio of wizard, thief, fighter, ...

The Frostgauntlet

Hey everyone! We'd like to present to you The Frostgauntlet, an awesome new collaboration between Team Superhydra using our icy Antlion Canyon map. Hopefully this will get you excited for the upcoming Rime of the Frostmaiden release coming in September. :)

We've got a lot of posts coming today including two new battlemap packs and a new map poll. So expect more releases!

Arkus: A 5e Campaign Setting

Welcome to Arkus, a world filled with colossal trees that tower over a barren earth beset by unending earthquakes. Atop these trees, gnomes build massive mechanical cities, orcs and tabaxi forge an uneasy alliance, and elves take to the skies atop massive palm fronds. Governments, religious order, and extraplanar forces vie for control, all while parallel dimensions offer glimpses in...

Windmill Farm [31x46]

Hey everyone we're back with a new map! 

Finally we've made a map that can fit into pretty much every campaign! An idyllic windmill and pastoral landscape, complete with chickens and the innerworkings of the mill. Hopefully you can picture yourself standing here in this bucolic rural land, listening to the cock crowing, the children playing, the mill churning and the threshing in the fields beyond. Perhaps beyond that the sound of carts collecting crops and beyond that the...

Map Improvement Help Wanted

Hey everyone! We're currently attempting to fix all the issues with our previously released maps.

We've found a good way to lower the file size of the maps, so our goal is to re-release all the maps with a smaller file size and also with a consistent naming pattern, separated into Gridded and Gridless folders. Hopefully this will make using the maps a lot easier!

We've created two new ice and snow variations of the Shadowfell Fortress that you can use to battle this dangerous dragon. The dragon itself comes as both...

Giant Kitchen [105x22]

Hey everyone!

We received a suggestion for a 'Giant Kitchen' a while back for one of the polls and even though it didn't win we couldn't get the idea out of our head. We've watched too much Arrietty and The Borrowers not to want to make a fun map like that.

So we contacted some friends of ours and together we made this awesome collaboration for you all! The collaboration comes with a 10 page adventure, 3 new magic items and a new miniature! This'll help you to insert this map into...

What VTT do you use?

We asked a similar question to this last year and we were curious to know how the answers have changed in that time.

We're currently expanding the Patreon so that all the maps are available as printable PDFs for the $5 Master Cartographer tier.

We've also had requests to add a tier that makes the maps VTT ready with the all walls and lighting already set up. Currently this is most likel...

The Great Library [multiple sizes]

Great Library!

Wecome to our grand 7 storey library. For each floor we've created a 'day and night' (even though they're technically subterranean) so there's 16 variations in total for this map!

We wanted the library to be a massive place for your party to delve through, possibly the home of secret and dangerous knowledge or the lair of a studious Beholder or Lich.

We noticed there were a lot of medieval libraries already out there so we wanted to make something a bit more...

Foundry VTT Adventure - Clash at the Kobold Cauldron

"Something's wrong with the people of Knotside. A few weeks ago, a popular new liquor called Red Claw showed up in the city's many taverns. Anyone that took even a sip of this spirit immediately wanted another taste. At first, these desires were nothing more than cravings. But soon, those cravings grew to obsession. Then obsession turned to violence. Now, the city of Knotside faces collapse as the red-eyed Red Claw addicts stalk the streets, desperate for more."<...
