Wizard Prison Part 7 [33x46]

In part 4, we encountered the strange Angel of Atrophy.
In part 5 we entered its mouth, with its maze-like tongue.
In part 6 we descended into its stomach, meeting the swallowed Ancient Key Dragon.

The Ancient Key Dragon contained a chest within its chest. Our idea was that players would enrage the Key Dragon, steal the correct key from its key breath and use it to unlock and the chest.
... Or just sneak in through the key hole.

In Part 7 you enter the chest.

Badger Hill - Animated Battlemap

Hey everyone :)

Welcome back to Badger Hill! Sometimes you just need a cosy, rural shop for your campaigns. Although it's not in the preview, we've also animated the entire dungeon for this release. We really hope your players all enjoy exploring through it.

Enjoy!

Czepeku Updates: CRIT Awards, Pride Tokens, Sci-Fi Bundle Discount and More!

Hey everyone!

We've got a whole bunch of updates for you. :)

CRIT Awards

First of all, we were kindly nominated for a CRIT award! We're in the Best Map Designer category. Please vote for us here. It would mean a lot to us! There's a lot of great people nominated for awards this year, going through the nominations is an easy way to find great TTRPG creators.

Jungle Treasure Trove [17x22]

Hi everyone!

We get regular requests for jungle themed maps. For this one we wanted to create a beautiful spot, hidden away from prying eyes. When we created this map we were heavily influenced by the cenotes in the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. They're incredibly picturesque water-filled sinkholes that are naturally formed when the surrounding limestone collapses and they're also a very important part of Mayan...

Forest Pass [18x22]

Hi everyone!

We often get requests to create more 'generic TTRPG maps' so here's a nice simple one for you. A forest road is a story staple for exploration, combat and of course sneaky ambushes.

In general, we try to cover 'generic' map options within our variations. If you're looking for more plain, simple maps you can try tags on our website like 'Natural', '2025-06-18 17:16:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Forge of the Wizard Blacksmith [33x46]

Hi everyone!

Have you ever wondered where wizards forge their finest creations? Well now you know! Only an artisanal blacksmith with the enchanting skills of a well practised spellcaster would be able to forge these powerful, magical items.

We wanted the location to feel fantastical. A Wizard Blacksmith certainly wouldn't set up their forge in a town centre, the place would be constantly watched by spies trying to find the secrets of crafting enchanted weaponry. The brilliant blue...

Templar Sea Fort [40x48]

Hi everyone :)

For this map, we wanted to work on creating a well defended, small fort set just off the coast. We like to think that it's the home to a collective of Knights Templar who are stationed here to defend their deepest darkest mysteries. Perhaps even treasures?

We thought you may enjoy running some intense siege scenarios here, or perhaps an infiltration. Maybe you need to escape the fort? We know some of you will be too tempted to try and search for those priceless trea...

Low Town Docks [33x46]

Hi everyone!

Here's another urban map for you to use in your campaigns. We imagined this to be part of the Low Town set within a sprawling city. Some of these buildings are still under construction and the docks are always busy with building materials being ferried to and fro along the river.

Hopefully the different pathways and alleys between the buildings will allow you to create some nice combat/ambush opportunities too.

Enjoy :)

Chained Dragon [28x53]

Hi everyone!

This map has been requested for many, many years now and we really hope you enjoy it. Hopefully your party end up flying on the back of this mythical creature because they've helped to free it from the cruel monsters keeping it chained up.

We're very excited to hear about how you plan on using this in your games and the stories that happen within them. Please do tell your gaming tales in the Discord. We love to hear them and we hope that you all experience some intens...

Lighthouse Isle

Hi everyone!

We're returning today to our Ship Building City series. So far you can also visit:
- Market Streets
- Port Bastion

We wanted to design a fantastical lighthouse, instead of the normal oil light lamp, the fishermen here feed their catch to the dragons who use their fire to power the li...

Chimera Creation Forge [24x33]

Hi everyone!

We find ourselves in the laboratory of a crazed professor. After years of brutal experiments carried out on innocent creatures they've finally managed to create a Chimera!

Now the real question is, how will this poor thing feel when it wakes up? Will it embrace its creator or attack in a blind rage? Will you protect the professor or will you allow their lab to be destroyed? Perhaps if you make the right choices you could end up with a Chimera Companion for the rest of...

Mellow Marshland Mill [17x22]

Hi everyone :)

We're interested to know who you think could live in this cosy mill nustled away deep in this marshland? We like to think it could be the reclusive home of a retired legendary hero, spending their days living a more simple life.

However you choose to use it, we hope that this becomes a welcoming stop off point in many adventures to come. Or if you feel like it, perhaps the site of a terrible ambush?

Enjoy!

Martial Arts Dojo

Hi everyone :)

We've had a Japanese style dojo on our to-do list for quite some time and here it is! This hall is reserved for learning, training and meditation. The students that attend can practise on their own to develop their skills or learn directly from the masters.

Will you be practising a martial art like karate, judo, aikido, kendo or will you be simply attending to meditate and improve your mental resilience?

We hope you find this very useful to create story hooks ...

Alchemy RPG Survey

Hey everyone!

I think a lot of people might not know this but Czepeku are building our own VTT, it's called Alchemy RPG. You can check it out by clicking that link. :)

We plan to reach version 1 in about 3 months time. For now we're building out features and trying to make it as great as we can, but it's still early days!

If you've used Alchemy yet or not, we're looking for feedback from all VTT users. We hope ...

Battlefield Bridge Blockade [24x33]

Hi everyone!

Today unfortunately we arrive at a grisly scene. The battle here was obviously hard-fought but these brave defenders laid down their lives to defend this bridge.

Now it's down to you to discover what happened here. Was it an ambush? Murder? Could it just have been caused by a simple barbarian that was 'done talking'? You should probably try and work it out quickly before whatever caused this death and destruction returns!

We don't often include bodies in our map...

Drow Market Port [46x33]

Hi everyone :)

Welcome back to our Drow City series. So far we've made the Drow Warship, Drow War Port and now we've created this Market Port. Hopefully this setting feels much more welcoming than the heavily armed warships you've seen so far. I'm sure your gold will be welcome here (a...

Flooded Fey Ruins - Animated Battlemap

Hey everyone :)

Since we animated the incredibly creepy Wizard Prison Part 4 last month, we thought we'd go for something slightly more serene in April.

We welcome you back to the Flooded Fey Ruins!

Secret Cave Hideout [33x64]

Hi everyone :)

Here's our latest release, the Secret Cave Hideout! So many tabletop game campaigns contain settings like this. A simple, unassuming crevace in a mountain or cliffside suddenly opens out into a secret lair. Now you just need to decide who uses it as their lair!

Could there be a bandit gang in here? Perhaps bugbears and goblins? It may be that it's the lair of the murderous crabfolk. If that's the case you should just turn around and leave right now.

Wizard Prison Part 4 - Animated Battlemap

Hi everyone!

You asked for it. Now it's here. Now we're scared.

We thought this would naturally be the next most fun part of the Wizard Prison series to animate. We're really happy with how it turned out.

Enjoy creeping your players out with it!

On another note too, we'll have the latest Animated Foundry modules uploaded tonight and tomorrow.

Birdfolk Village [33x46]

Hi everyone!

Unless you've got wings, we highly recommend that you watch your step whilst moving around this village.

We approached this map with the idea that the village would have a lot of things similarly to human villages, but would be made by a species with clawed feet and spittle to glue things together. The thatched buildings are inspired by Weaver Bird nests.

The village is nestled into the edge of a steep clifftop to reduce risk of attack from attackers on land and...

Moth God Temple [33x56]

Hey everyone!

Shrouded in mystery and bathed in the glow of celestial light, the Moth God Temple stands as a sacred place of transition and change. Winding terraces and stairways encompass mosaics and lunar moth motifs. At its heart, the altar houses a doorway, a portal leading beyond the known.

From the astral plane to the depths of the ocean, this temple shifts across realms, its presence ever-changing. Will your party seek enlightenment, uncover its dark secrets, or witness a s...

Beetle Tribe Canyon [26x35]

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the Beetle Tribe Canyon. We wanted to create somewhere that insect folk could adopt a monastic lifestyle, preferring isolation and tranquility, the beetle-folk here spend their time meditating around their sacred salt pit. The activity cave could be used for their sound baths and rituals, or in some more gruesome games, it may well turn into a battle arena!

Perhaps they maintain their livelihoods by selling the blue salt crystals to passing traders at the t...

Lizardfolk Sushi Bar [33x46]

Hi everyone!

A Sushi Bar might not be a setting you'd expect to come across regularly in DnD campaigns. But where else are civilised Lizardfolk supposed to go when they choose to have an evening out dining on delicious fresh food?

The village engineers crafted several wind turbines to harness enough kinetic energy to power this incredible mechanised sushi river which allows each customer to have their choice of artisanal, hand-crafted sushi.

This map was actually drafted bac...

Czepeku Tokens - Early Bird Offer Ends March 10th - 44% Off

Hey everyone!

The Tokens are currently at $14 per month, but will be increasing to $25 per month on the 10th of March, 3 days from now. Everyone who subscribes now at the lower price will stay on it indefinitely.

We hope to be on about 800+ tokens by the end of the year. We're really very proud of the team working on it. It's been fun focusing on c...

Drow War Port [46x33]

Hi everyone!

This drow war port is a dark, foreboding place, built deep beneath the ground in the vast caverns and tunnels of the Underdark. You can expect to find drow armed forces preparing to launch their ships into battle.

Perhaps you stowed away on one of these warships? Or it may be that you're attempting to make your way out of this drow city and back to safety. Good luck sneaking past the guards!

Enjoy :)

Hi everyone!

We reached 20k subscribers today! Thank you all so much for supporting this project and us as artists, this is a huge milestone and means a lot for us. We promise to keep making the maps as amazing as we can!

With this map, we were hoping to create opportunity for discovery. We've stowed many fossils around this stream and hopefully it will be fun for your players to see what mysteries they can uncover within the Fossil Caves.
