Steam Salamander Stat Block

Our friend Kyle over at IADnDMN had the awesome idea of putting together a stat block for the Steam Salamander from our newest map. It has everything you need to run in it your games including some useful lore.

You can go grab it for free at his Patreon here. Please go and check it out and see what other c...

Weekly Poll #19

After some requests on the Discord, we're going to try having a poll where you can only vote on 1 option and we'll remove all but the top suggestions next week. This is mainly so the poll doesn't end up being ridiculously long. We've carried over everything from last week that recieved 30+ votes.

As always, if you have any suggestions for the next poll leave them in the comments below or come join the discussion in the Map Suggestions room on the Discord!

Steamy Japanese Bathhouse [16x43]

いらっしゃいませ!

We happen to be living in Japan right now so this was a particularly interesting map for us to make. There's a lot of misconceptions about what warms the onsen baths here. People like to believe that they're hot due to geothermal heat but really it's all about those fire bellied salamanders, the water hits them and beautiful hot steamy water comes pouring off. The owners of this particular onsen have found a relatively tame one to run the baths for them. Althou...

Medieval Monster Festival [26x42]

This was a really fun map to create! We've designed it in the style of a European village fête, with all the usual fun and games, beer and cheese and pies and other festivities. 

We've given everything a slight twist though and tried to include the monster theme wherever we could, including our spit-roast Giant Spider, Owlbear petting zoo, Griffon rides and more. Hopefully your players will have fun spotting everything! Just make sure they don't go crazy and kill all the monsters....

Weekly Poll #16

We had some suggestions on the Discord this week to do a runners-up poll. And as we had no new suggestions sent in this week, why not! All the following poll options have been 2nd place in previous polls. This is to give them another chance.

Ancient Battlefield [25x45]

First of all, we're changing how we post each week. From now on there'll only be one post, with links for all the tiers inside of that. I didn't realise that was possible, so thanks to PaperForge for explaining it to me. If you haven't seen their cool tokens, you should! This means a lot less post spam from now on and it'll be easier to find the maps in future.

Next, I've had some more Patrons asking about the d...

Intrepid Explorer Master Post

Each time we post a new map pack it'll be added to this post. So in a way, this is just a placeholder for all the map pack zip files to rest. Head here whenever a new map is released to grab the zip file directly.  

Information about all the maps can be found in this ledger.

Weekly Poll #15

Time for another weekly poll! There was A LOT of options on the last one, so I cut off the least popular options. Hopefully I've covered all the recent suggestions, let me know if I missed out any! And remember that $5+ supporters can suggest new poll options whenever they like.

Edit: A supporter of ours, Jenny, is going to be running a campaign using our Underdark Drow Manor maps. If you're interested in joining that, there's a discussion going on in the Discord.

Realm of Dreams [30x30] x 9

Hey everyone! We're back after our little break. We've got the Realm of Dreams map for you today! Here's what the different tiers will be getting:

This map is unlike anything we've made before. But what else could we do for Realm of Dreams other than something completely different to our usual?

We've created one giant expanse for the dream realm. Higher tiers get access to further areas ...

What day does your party play?

Just thought we'd run another community poll as we were curious! If you play on multiple days you can tick as many boxes as you like. I know some patrons have 5 or more on-going games!

We also want to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all our patrons, we've hit a lot of milestones recently which is always super encouraging for us. We've got some extra goodies we've been working on recently that we'll be ready to reveal soon too. 

Colosseum Process GIF

Hey everyone, here's another process gif to show how we made the Colosseum of Challenges map. 

We've also attached a new variation for you all, as suggested by a patron. This one is completely blank, no weapons or blood or anything else, just in case you wanted to make props yourself.

Lastly, for comparison, here's a pretty terrible photo that Peku took yesterday of the actual Coloss...
