More! Roofs AssetPack | Nr.1 | 124 Assets

Welcome to our first 'More!' pack! These addon packs aren't introducing a new theme or style, rather they are adding assets that you can use anywhere.

This particular pack is built with one thing in mind. You guessed it, ROOFS!

We will also add some color modifications to fit some more existing packs and styles. We will add the Victorian packs' green, a nice neutral grey and a rich purple to give you all even more variations.

Enjoy the assets! You will find the PNGs and _pack file for DungeonDraft inside the ZIP folder below.

See you soon with variations and Happy Building!

Siege TilePack | Nr.1

Man the cannons! Take to the trenches! Run to the hills!
The earth rumbles beneath the Siege Tiles, as they arrive to your inbox..
 

Welcome to the Tile Pack reward of September! This time around we've added some much needed tiles with a military focus, especially looking at sieges, raids and other such scenarios.

Many of the tiles are actually reworks of already existing ones (from the Classic1 and Classic2 tile packs), only with a bit of added carnage..

The docks are ablaze, the ship is ready to be armed with cannons, a battering ram is moving up to break through the main gate to the city, and more!

You can simply add these on top of already existing cities you might have that feature these tiles, even in your VTT of choice, as long as you did no edits to your original map. It's a great way to show progression in your games, represented in your maps.

We've also included a brand new trench system, army camps, hideouts and forts. Look around and give them a spin!

In the ZIP file below, you'll find both HDjpg-s, and LowDefinition ones (size reduced to 770x770px at 72dpi), to match with all preexisting packs and with dungeondraft's grid size.
And of course you also got your _pack file for DungeonDraft use.

The HD JPGs can also be used as battlemaps, as they are 2k x 2k resolution. You can easily fit them with a grid, and let battles commence!
We will delve deeper into Battlemaps through this method, so you can keep an eye out for updates on that.

Victorian tiles will be arriving shortly, along with the new roofs assets!

Stay tuned for those as well, and as always,

Happy Building!

Victorian AssetPack | Nr.1 | 118 Assets

Whistling steam, a car whizzing by, a paddleboat passing under a bridge, sunlight beaming down through the glass roofs... you get the picture!

Welcome to our brand new Victorian asset pack! It includes new houses, many roof elements, windows, chimneys, lead glass windows, a new train system, a new road system, cars, trains, carts, a paddleboat, a pipe system, steam engines, a factory, big mansions, tower buildings, and more tiny goodies sprinkled on top!

We've made the pack to work well with previous packs, such as the Classic packs, or even (the slightly older) Flying City packs!


The ZIP file includes 'HD' assets too, which you could even use for battlemap scale mapmaking.

And of course, you can simply install for DungeonDraft with the included _pack file. (paths included for roads, fences, traintracks, pipes.)


Show us your creations, using the new assets, on our discord server! Join if you haven't already!

Bonus Content | Ythryn before the fall | Rime of the Frostmaiden custom map

Here is a pretty unique treat, thanks to a lovely customer who commissioned this map!

It's a custom representation of the city of Ythryn from Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, before it fell from the skies and got embedded into the ice of Icewind Dale.

We wanted the map to be modular, and created extra elements that can be used as addon PNG tiles, to change the map.

You can simply used the 'baked in' version that you can see above, but the ZIP also contains extra elements.

  • Different backgrounds, so the city can fly over various terrain.

  • Birds that you can place above the city, to add extra depth.

  • Clouds to be placed above and below the city.

  • Landing legs that you can place below the city, in case, well, in case it lands.

  • Similarly, a descent platform, which you can add in that case also:

Enjoy this unique reward, and again, much thanks to the customer for allowing us to share it with all of you to enjoy!

And as always,

Happy Building!

Volcano Forge | Monthly Maps | September

To warm you through, during these cold October sessions, we thought a volcano might just do the trick! Welcome to the burning eye of this dwarven city!

With a mythical forge at it's center, the city definitely has some godly connections, or shoes with heat-resistant soles.

The map is highly... well.. high fantasy of course, it's not meant to be realistic, but to convey a strong narrative idea for your sessions. Building a city inside an active volcano is not a great call, let's be honest. But why would it be built there? Start your worldbuilding here, and I think it will roll from that point quite nicely!

You can get 6 variants for this map by becoming a Settler (5$) Patron! Check them out HERE!

Happy Building!

Terrain Rework AssetPack | Pt.1 | 74 Assets

Part one for the Terrain Rework pack is finally here!
This pack will be massive, so we thought we would cut it into 3 parts. This first pack focuses on the three key elements of any mapmaking: grass, stone and 'dirt'.

Many of the assets being paths, you can easily draw cliffaces, roads, edges to your grassy/rocky/dirt areas. As per usual, Dungeondraft ready _pack files are included inside the ZIP folders.

We are also introducing different color variants this time around. Here they are:

  • The default pack has your usual coloring of green grass, white/light gray stones, yellow sand and brown dirt.

  • The yellow pack is perfect for desert packs or perhaps more burnt and hot regions where the greenery is dried up.

  • The Red is fantastic for volcanoes and similar hellscapes.

  • Grey works great for your moody, overcast regions. Nordic packs would especially work well with that one!

  • Black is more high fantasy. Some of the rocks could be used as vulcanic rock/obsidian, while the purple grass works great for underdark maps!

Of course these are just suggestions. The packs have as many uses as you can dream up! Take them on a spin, and let us know what you think!

Pt2 is coming shortly, mainly focusing on elemental assets, such as: Fire/Lava, Clouds/Smoke, Water/Shores and Fields, Dirt roads etc. We will also include more stone formations and town squares etc., mainly focusing on texture and terrain brushes.

Pt3 will be almost exclusively brushes and textures, and any assets that we might have missed out or are highly requested by the community.

We are doing our best to give these packs as much flexibility and make them as useful as possible. Let us know what other assets you'd like to see featured in Pt2 and we'd be happy to include them!

Download the packs below and try them out!

Monthly ASSETS Theme Vote! | Pack of September

With the Terrain Pack 2 closing the finish line soon, we are looking to the community to pick a new theme for September!

We want to introduce a new type of pack, similar to the siege one, which would be an overarching, more 'generic' pack. Not a separate style, but a themed pack around 1 central idea.
IE.: Statues, Towers, Castles, Temples, Squares, Fountains, Trees, etc.

We've included some themes, with this new type of content in mind.

Dragon Spire | Fantasy City Map | (Custom Order)

Thanks to the lovely customer, they allowed me to share this work with all of you to enjoy!

This map was a lot of fun to create. It is probably the most unique piece I've worked on so far. Because of its unique nature and original setting, we thought it would be best to draw the whole map by hand.

Let us point you to a few interesting locations (--there are many--):

  • Southern Farmlands

  • Castle/Keep

  • High Quarter (I.: Blood Mage Palace, II.: Mage's Livery, III.: Grand Library)

  • Spire and Commons (I.: Catacombs II.: Guard Station III.: Dragon's Spire IV.: Volcano)

  • Merchant's District (I.: Docks II.: Alchemical Factory III.: Broken Bridge)

  • Old Town, Ruins
     

    Of course you can make these locations into whatever fits your setting/worldbuilding.

    Let us know if you want variations for this map and what you'd like to see!

Thanks once again to the generous customer who allowed us to post this here for all of you! Enjoy the map and as always,

Happy Building!

Asking the community! | Future of BluBerrey Maps

Thanks for stopping by and taking your time to fill out this poll!

BluBerrey has experienced a divide in the community since the introduction of maps and accessory rewards.

The original rewards were tile packs and assets, which were considered the core of the community.
The new rewards include finished maps (with variants now), and accessory packs, which are more extensive than ever before.

We are currently considering two paths:

1.: Allowing the community to grow and adapt to a wider selection of mapmakers and finished map users.

2.: Splitting the reward structure into multiple pages with specific rewards for different audiences. (BluBerrey Cities, BluBerrey Mapmaking, BluBerrey Battlemaps etc etc.)
This would involve restructuring pricing and rewards, and relocating the audience to split pages.

We are seeking input on what would serve you the best experience and bang for your buck!

(Thanks again for taking the time, and of course, this is a big decision. We will continue to look for feedback for the forseeable future, and if there will be changes made, it will come with January next year.)


Appreciate you all, and as always,

Happy Building!

Hellenistic 'Acropolis' City | Monthly Map | July

Welcome to our Ancient Greece inspired map for the month of July! This base version features quite a big city, with 6-7 big areas/main sights.


1.: First we have the outskirts.

This region includes an open grazing grounds with a big pond in the middle of it, and rows of grape and small vineries at their side. Because Ancient Greece LOVED their vine!


2.: Next up, the lower section of the city.

Here you will find the trading square, aka 'Agora', where most of the commerce took place.

Above it you will find the hippodrome, currently featuring a cart race.

There are 2 types of living areas here. On the Northern and Southern side you will find smaller, more orderly homes for the poor, workers and soldiers.

At the center, you'll see bigger and more lavish housing for the merchants and the kind.

Here you will also find a second open square, next to which there is a gymnasium. Perfect place to hold your olympic events!


3.: Going up the serpentine or the long way around South, we can start our climb to the Acropolis above!

First you will pass the tiered gardens.

Then you will start to see bigger houses, some of them with pools. The most rich of the population lives here of course.

Carved out of the mountainside, you can see the concentric half circle shape of the Amphitheater. An open sky stage, with plenty seating, ready for a night of drama!

Going further up you will find two covered walkways, also known as 'Stoa's. Another Ancient Hellenistic classic!

And of course as the name suggests, at the top you will find the Acropolis. Here there is a palace building and a main temple surrounded with smaller temples, shrines and golden statues glinting in the sunlight.

As you can see, we tried to include a lot of classic greek themed buildings and ideas. Even the shape and general layout were inspired by the ancient city of Pergamon.

3d model of the ancient city of Pergamon

Still, the map holds plenty of small details and charm to be used in fantasy games. (PERFECT in our opinion for Thedas based campaigns!)


We've had so much fun making this map for all of you, and we couldn't be happier with it. In our opinion, it might be our best map yet. But of course as always, you be the judge! Let us know what you think in the comments below!

With all of that said, we hope you enjoy the map and can find many adventures within and out of its walls!


And as always,


Happy Building!
