Welcome to the lands of Fara Wei, or simply "Wei." I've been meaning to draw this for a long time, as it just so happens to be the setting of my own 3+ year old campaign!
The provinces of Wei are the setting of an eternal clash between fantasy-Japan, fantasy-China, and the ancient oni living in the mountains. It's a land with a shrouded history and many secrets, where dreams seem at times to overlap w...

Hello everyone, the tokens are finally here to accompany our Cave Room Builder pack! Inside you will find 141 tokens of varying bio-luminescence and underdark-y-ness, from mundane rocks to plane-tearing crystals, your everyday mushroom to nirnroot-er, ethereal ferns.
Also inside, I have a full-color version of the...

Hi everyone! After many hours plugging away at it, the Buildings Pack is finally ready. Inside you will find a collection of floor plans, a bunch of compatible roofs (in red AND grey), and a couple of other pieces to customize them with.
This is the completed version of last month's pre-release, and is built upon the pieces of the Haunted Mansion. With these new roofs and stair/door/wall tokens, I've ...

October is over and the Halloween decorations are slowly coming down! Still, if you want to celebrate with a spooky one-shot, last month's Haunted Estate map set make for a great adventure:
Now that it's November and we leave the spooky theme behind I want to catch up on a few promises I've made. I'll keep it vague for now, but expect a region map or two, a pack to enhance those buildings I...

This is the Haunted Garden, which attaches seamlessly to the bottom edge of the Haunted Cellar. As you can see, it features a tall wall (with convenient tree overhang), a fetid wate...

What lies beneath a haunted mansion? Why, a haunted wine cellar of course! This map serves as both an atmospheric base for last week's mansion and as a battle map for its spooky basement.
The entrances to the cellar are outside and under the two interior staircases, and you will find that the first floor snaps neatly over the cut-away space on this map.
I went all in with the Hallowe...

As promised, with the release of the Mansion Tokens, I have put together this furnished Haunted Mansion, and with a spooky color palette to boot!
I spent half a day cluttering up the place, and am happy with the result! As you can see, this abandoned home features a dining room, library, and a drawing room on its first floor. On its second, bedrooms, a study, and a trophy room.
There's certainly...

Wow, are these token packs labor intensive! I'm glad that all the busywork is going to such enthusiastic people though, and I can't wait to see what you all put together with these.
Stay tuned, for our haunted mansion project is still growing!

The first piece to our spooky October project, the unfurnished mansion!
This two storey mansion is based on an encounter my brother Troy created, which was in turn based on the 1890 residence of Henry R. Towne ESQ.
As you can see, it is quite unfurnished. I wanted to break this project down into modular pieces (see the Buildings Pack prerelease) so that it would be good for more than one session...

I saw an opportunity when I started the Haunted Mansion to break it up into a bunch of useful pieces. Originally, my plan was to form a space-warping door-connected-to-random-door encounter but, as you can see, these can quite easily pass as standalone smaller buildings too!
I call this a prerelease because I want to draw up roofs for each of these "standalone buildings" so that they match the rest of our set piece buildings, but that will come next month.
I would love for someone to bre...

(Please just pretend with me that I'm posting this on time, and that the Castle Town came out days ago).

EDIT : Here it is, the finished Castle Town! Though much delayed, I'm glad I took the time to polish this new town map, and I'm excited to share it with you today.
This is a small castle town on the coast, in a defensible location on a well-trafficked sea route. The township is basically there to support the castle and house its samurai.
I'd love to hear your names and lore idea...

A glowing tunnel suitable for the Underdark or flavorful mountain pass.
This map was an experiment in a more whimsical line style, which I used in an effort to give the tunnel the look of a rounded floor. It doesn't look so fabulous on its side (as seen above) but works great in portrait!
What do you al...

Also known as the non-luminescent luminescent cave, but that was too much of a mouthful.
Perhaps the encounter starts out like this but, upon brushing by one of the cave-ferns, the whole tunnel lights up as a mycanoid ambush is sprung?

Hello again, at long last! My vacation is over and I have a few maps to share before the month is up, beginning with this slightly-boring-but-endlessly-useful highway.
This map is ready to go as-is, but I recommend seasoning it with some free Forest Tokens, or one of our set piece buildings. I like to t...

It's September already, can you believe it? Well, I am satisfied with what I accomplished in August, and very excited for the opportunities that have materialized.

Right now it's particularly time consuming to film and edit videos so, rather than wasting time, I am just going to wait until mid next month when I can get back to my work station. Then, I'll make a whole bunch of hay while the sun shines. In the meantime I will just focus on my maps and other projects.
So, thank you all very much for hitting that Tutorial Videos milestone! I absolutely plan to foll...

Fun experiment, or the start of a new series? I would love to hear your opinion.
Till now I have only drawn tokens of furniture, trees, and other objects, but many people have requested hero tokens. So, this is my take on some hand-drawn heroes!
It is not a comprehensive collection, rather it is an experimentation in posing and perspective, with only a little thought paid to representing the rac...
