Your 2-Minute March Update

Hello, and happy March 2023! February was the definition of short and sweet, and those 28 days felt more like two weeks to me.

We are still working on the rewards actually, and will be sharing those with you over the course of the week. Please watch your notifications, and thank you for your patience! We will make it worth the wait. :)

So, what have we been up to? Allow me to summarize with a short list:

410 Food Assets

Food and tableware of all sorts, ranging from bananas to biscuits, rations to ramen, crabs to croissants.

I spent much of February jumping between two other yet-to-be-announced projects with my heart not really set on either one, and both proving quite difficult to work on without that advantage. When this happens I try and take a step back and ask myself "is there something completely different that I would prefer to be drawing right now?"

(I'm no stranger to wor...

The Underground Sanctuary

A complex of stone tunnels and chambers have been furnished to comfortably house a small community.

Vladir Winters excavated this space and decorated it with warm lights, meals, and beds. There is a large meeting hall, kitchen, bedrooms, and more. It's practically begging for some fog of war and a session of exploring from room to room!

Who dwells here? A thieve's guild jumps to mind...

The Grand Mage Tower

The spacious tower of a magician who enjoys books, scrolls, and looking out at the cosmos.

Connor Johnston has, in many ways, remastered my Wizard's Tower from 2017. This version is much more spacious, elegant, and downright Grand. Just look at those carpets!

Your 2-Minute February Update

Hello again! It's a sunny February afternoon over here, and about time to wrap up January and get started on a new month.

Knotroot Cave

In the tangled roots of a great tree there has formed a curious cavern.

I have something of a fascination with roots, branches, and the fractal patterns they form, and this month I wanted to explore them in the form of a battle map.

What resulted is a cave formed entirely of knotted roots – a Knotroot Cave, if you will. I made it open and spacious, but with a twisting path leading to a point of interest. 

The little island at the far end is said point...

Rocky Fissures

Water gathers in the fissures of rocky terrain, making this part of the desert relatively cool and green.

This map pack is the first from Vladir Winters, a fresh addition to our map artists team! As you can see, they have the unique ability to take a simple concept and make a map full of interesting pathways, obstacles, and gorgeous colors.

These fissures span a 23x16 space and come ...

The Sinister Woodland

The Sinister Spider

A horrifying arachnid large enough to threaten an entire town. What hope could five adventurers have?

Your 2-Minute January Update

Happy New Year! It's 2023 here in Japan, and I've just finished eating my Ozouni and other traditional bits and pieces. I'm warm and a bit sleepy now, but excited to wrap up 2022 and get a good start to 2023. Maybe I'll have a nap later.

December was more than a little crazy, behind the scenes: I had a friend visit me from Australia and spent the first half of the month entertaining them and barely keeping up with the daily 2MT work. By the time we kicked them out I had...

A Flying City Collab with BluBerrey

The Landing Pad

A sturdy platform built to receive vessels and efficiently process their personnel and cargo.

It's always the simplest maps that bloom into something I really love! This one started out as a mere rectangle but, over time, blossomed into something I really enjoy.

As an artist who usually focuses on medieval fantasy, I lean a great deal on clutter to add interesting detail into scenes: rubble, overgrowth, book-piles, and that sort of thing. On the other hand, sci-fi...

The Sewer Pipes

A branching pipeline bearing dubious water, but doubtlessly leading somewhere critical to the plot...

I have played around with sewers in previous battle maps, but never with a predefined layout and classic, round pipes! These new ones sport bends designed to hide enemies and encourage exploration, all while stomping through thick kelp and other debris. Barnacles and seaweed thrive here because, in my imagination, the tide sometimes sweeps in to replenish them. There is...
