I thought I'd take a short break and try something new in-between tile set projects, and that something became this Rocky Coast. I drew the lines digitally this time round to see how it compared, and also tried a slightly different painting technique. It's good to know I'll be able to keep drawing with only a laptop, should I hit the road again!

Perhaps a Sahuagin shaman is calling down perpetual rain on the nearby town and must be stopped, or maybe it's just a particularly bright night? Whatever the case, f you'd like your coastline with an extra dose of misery or drama, this is your map!

Welcome to Highreach, an immense castle battle map built from our now-complete Castle Tileset!
This is the largest 2-Minute map yet, at four times the size of anything else I've made. It offers a birds-eye-view of the castle grounds and, should your players venture inside, all you need to do is overlay this map with an interior layer.
I built this map as a demonstration for the 'Tileset mor...

You've built up a castle from our tile sets, you've furnished them with the furniture pack, and now you can knock them right back down with this siege pack!

Finally, something to furnish your presently abandoned castles with! This pack contains exactly 100 medieval furniture tokens, ranging from your everyday wooden stool to your mounted dragon head. They're designed for VTTs but the pack also contains highres versions for the Photoshop/Gimp-savvy.
I'll also be putting together a few pre-furnished castle prefabs for you in the near future, in case this idea of furnishing each room isn't your cup of tea.

Here it is, our revised Keep map! Whether at the heart of several curtain walls, or standing alone in a wide field, it's a formidable piece of stonework. It's unfurnished for now, but my next project will be the accompanying Furniture Pack. I'll release a pre-furnished Keep then, too!

I think I went too far down the modular hole, guys! I spent the last two days on this addition to the Castle set and... I don't like it. It's rather time consuming to use and the end result looks half-baked to me. That said, you may still find use for it, so I'm releasing it here for free.
The attached ZIP contains a bunch of tiles, some tiling terrain, and a mock up of Cragmaw Castle. Enjoy!
Tomorrow I'm going to start on a less modular, more better keep. I'm thi...

Hi everyone! I'm rebooting my personal campaign this weekend after a few months off (we last played before my Japan trip) and we're picking up right where we left off, with my players pursuing a large ghoul through a crypt, fighting lesser ghouls as they go.
As it turns out, he's no ghoul, but an ancient magic user leading them into his place of power! I needed a boss room, and so this map was born.
Why the walls, you may ask? For lore reason I'll gloss over here, our ghoul-wizard is abl...

These great towers served as storerooms and living quarters, offering a scenic view in peacetime and a strategic firing angle during siege. Also included, a moderately secure inner gate!

After a week straight working to get this thing right, this enormous ship is now sea-worthy! It's based roughly on the dimensions of a real life galleon, with a few tweaks in layout to make it play nice with a grid.
If you're a fan of Assassins Creed: Black Flag, you'll be happy to know that the Jackdaw is also a (loose) galleon! Alternatively, the Black Pearl of Pirates of the Caribbean is also classed as a galleon!

I couldn't resist creating this Black Pearl inspired variant after seeing the new Pirates' trailer. That said, it also works well as a nighttime version of our regular galleon! (Lanturns coming in a future prop pack)

This map might begin a whole new campaign, or act as another plane in an existing one. Perhaps it's been up there all along?
Whatever the case, this high fantasy region map comes from the mind of our very own Trung Duong, so all creative credit goes to him on this one! I'm slowly catching up on these reward tiers. They make for fun side projects to work on alongside the castle bits!

Hello! I have had quite the learning experience putting this one together, and I apologize that it's taken so long! Anyway, it's perfectly functional now, as you can see by my Roll20 mock-up above, and this post is a small prerelease before I release it "officially" along with a demonstration video in the next few days.
You will notice that this one doesn't come with a PDF, and that's because it seems there's no good way to print these pieces out. How many doors should be on a page? How many w...

Hi everyone! It's been an admittedly unproductive week this week for various reasons, but I'd like to at least share some progress with you.
I've spent a lot of time brainstorming how I can best make a castle-themed tileset and the pieces that would go into it. Above is a (jagged, pre-touch-up) mockup of the first and simplest curtain wall tiles. As you can see, (so far) there's a rounded style and a square style, and the option to widen your wall with a wooden platform.
