Inside the download section you will find downloads for the base map, its three variants, and night-time reskins for each one;
- A deep jungle variant that matches our Jungle Temple battle map's color scheme, and has a rich brown earth in place of the tropical beach sand.
- A dazzlingly vibrant Feywild variant with glowing plant life and a glass podium.
- A dreary foggy rain variant with pooling water and a misty curta...

More Content for Higher Pledges!
Hi everyone! It's December [here in Australia] and I'm back again with a coupon and some news. It's big news too, and all of it good, so I'm excited to jump straight into it.
In short, I'm going to be releasing more exclusive content on Patreon than before. The pledge rewards are not changing except for the higher tiers where I am strictly adding content. This is all in an effort to revise the Patreon campaign, add value to the ...

A high wall with a single entrance stands unmoving in a sea of blazing white sand.
This battle map is the canonical entrance to our previous Desert Catacomb and Tomb. It is a tall gateway flanked on either side by seated stone golems and baked by a white-hot sun.

Do you dare approach the temple in the night, when the temple is sealed and protected by searing magic?
Also attached is some variant line art I created but decided not to pursue. I'm going to take the concepts that I cooked up and instead use them for more exciting, specially-made maps some time in the future. I thought some of you may still enjoy them though!

Greetings, Patrons! I have been juggling a few projects at once (again) and this has pushed back most of my release to the back half of the month (again). It's not the best way to get noticed on social media or the smartest way to release content, but darn is it more enjoyable for me. I think I just need to get ahead of my release schedule, and then everyone wins? I'll figure it out!
Anyway, this latest piece of content is 70 new assets for building city and town maps. It is part three ...

Troy's at it again with another ten creative encounters! This time the theme is fiery deserts, with encounters such as...
- An archeology camp, devoid of life, is found outside a shadowy cave entrance. The party can hear movement from within.
- A sandstorm brews, forcing the party into cover. But there is something hunting within the storm.
- An ancient warrior, petrified in a glass form, wanders the desert wastes.

With great difficulty the Relic Hunters have breached the arcane seal and opened the catacomb. It now falls to you, adventurers. Enter first into the forgotten interior and meet the defenses that surely await.
I enjoyed drawing the Tomb battle map so much that I had to expand it with this corridor. It is lined with Anubis-inspired statues and resting mummies, and provides a platform at its end for a sphinx or similar encounter of your choice. The map in its entirety looks like ...

The hot breath of the desert has patiently eroded the dunes to revealed a sundered stone ceiling. Only the bravest of adventurers would dare lower themselves into the long-forgotten tomb exposed within... And as their eyes slowly adjust to the cool darkness, what will they find?

Ten classic Halloween monsters to haunt your player characters this spooky season!
We have classic undead such as vampires, skeletons, and a zombie. We have the exotic mummy and a humorous ghost. Along the same line, a wicked witch and a pumpkin beholder! Though made with Halloween in mind, all of these (with the possible exception of the pumpkin beholder) will also serve as great foes in any month of the year.
Never fear, for I do realize that a single zombie and skeleton t...

In a crowded wood bleached by white snow stands a grove of headstones with names erased and corners rounded. A persistent breeze blows, and the surrounding trees resembling stony lightning bolts with withered limbs whistle a dissonant lullaby for no one to hear.

The harvest was complete, and the town of Prosper celebrated its brimming granaries heartily and with due excess. The autumn breeze carried the smell of meat and ale, jostled the colored lanterns and encouraged the perspiring townsfolk to greater feats of music and dance.
Yet, if one were to leave the warmth behind and venture into the sodden fields, they would hear the low lamentations. Atop the the hill, with ragged limbs turning wearily, stood the old mill, bemoaning the secrets that...

August Maps & Assets
This August we drew a hill for our keep, began a set of infinitely-tiling sewer tunnels, and made a solid start on a steam train. I have been refining and practising my Photoshop brushwork and leaning further in with the line art. Altogether, a good month of progress!
For fans of the Old West or the Harry Potter series, this is for you! This map pack contains a wood-clad economy class passenger car, and a Hogwarts Express-inspired premium class car with private booths.
Our train grows ever longer! You can now run a complete train heist encounter should you wish to do so, forcing your players through rows of benches and passengers, any one of which might choose to be a hero.
In the coming weeks I intend to flesh this train out further with open ...

An network of dripping tunnels lined with grime, debris, and unspeakable things. And with these four map tiles, they can go on just as far as you need!
A sewer tile set is an oft-requested item and one that I have put off for far too long. These tiles stand alone very well, but the set is not yet done! I intend to draw a collection of decorations for you to ad variety to the tiles, such as various wooden platforms, debris piles, and submerged oddities.

Several years ago my friends and I sat down to play a Wild West one-shot with high mortality homebrew firearms, a "death & dismemberment" table in place of death saves, and three character sheets per man for when the inevitable happened. Our heroic gang would intercept a train to the tune of the William Tell Overture Finale in an attempt to steal an invaluable gattling gun. They were not successful, but we still had some of the best TTRPG fun we've ever had along the way.
Ever since...
