Pazuzu's Aerie Token Package

Hello $2+ Supporters!

I know I just released the first half of the Monstrous Marauders set earlier this morning, but we've also just put out our first map as a part of the adventure collaboration for Pazuzu's Aerie and the dungeon uses a number of our tokens that I wanted to make available.

Pazuzu's Aerie: Adventure Collaboration

Hello all!

Coming out swinging with our first release of November: a high-level adventure dungeon made in collaboration with our friends at DMDave. Pazuzu's Lair is a dramatic, flight-based encounter scene great for high-level parties for all of the many obstacles it puts in their way. 

A scourge of abyssal foes assail adventurers as they make their way to Pazuzu atop hi...

Monstrous Marauders Tokens pt.1: Orcish Outlaws

Hey folks! Welcome to the first half of November's Token theme: Monstrous Marauders.

This is a theme I've been particularly excited about in preparation for it as it contains just so many great, classic enemies that I get to help visualize for your table. As the "Orcish Outlaws" subtheme suggests, the first half here focuses more on the orcish side of things with 3 orc variants, 2 trolls, and an ettin for your enjoyme...

With the end of October here and after a series of new maps  introduced, the maps that have grown older than 2 years will expire from the Patreon page to become only available on the website. To ensure that all of you have the opportunity to download those expiring maps before they'r...

Fearsome Flyers Tokens pt.2: Pazunian Provokers

Hey folks! Squeezing in the last half of our Flying-themed tokens today.

The second half of October's tokens brings us some more classic winged enemies such as the Kenku and Peryton, alongside a new friend in the form of Pazuzu. The pack's namesake will be appearing in a full-length adventure being released this week where you will be able to find his relevant statblock.

And as you probably noticed from this pack's preview image...

Cragtop Halls: Level -2

Hello all!

As promised, here is the final map for Level -2 of Cragtop Halls, the followup to the release of Level -1 shared yesterday. The dramatic confrontation with hell itself unfolds within these chambers and I'm excited for you and your players to get to encounter them yourself!

Wanted to notify everyone (but particularly my token users) that a new archive system is up-and-running for the library of tokens I've been creating since March of this year: The Token Menagerie.

Map Collection Theme Poll

Hey folks! 

I've taken a bit of a hiatus on Map Collections as there's just been so many other things to make and release, but I want to return to them! If you're unfamiliar, these are "collections" in the sense that they are many different maps that I also take the time to make sure can be stitched together to form huge maps. 

As an example, I released the Buil...

Graveyard Assets pt.2

Hello all!

Trying not to double (triple?) down on the spooky theme too hard with it being October and all, but I couldn't just not release Graveyard Assets Part 2, the followup to its nearly 2-year-old predecessor in Part One

What I had originally planned on as simply an expansion of the original themes explored in part one instead gre...

Academy Assets

Class is in session.

Hey everyone! Today we are releasing our first asset pack of October: Academy Assets. A pack that had originally began within the "library" theme, I decided to expand it partway through to an "academy" theme in order to encapsulate not just shelves and books, but a wider manner of objects spanning an early breadth of academia. That is why you'll find the following among the 262 assets included:

Aquatic Attackers Tokens pt.2: Sinister Sahuagin

Hey folks! The latter half of this month's underwater tokens are here!

Like the Undead Uglies theme from August, this month's set features a more significant percentage of 'known' or existing monsters and fewer wholly original ones. While the first half had more of a focus on the Merfolk tribes of the ocean, this set instead turns its gaze to the more sinister Sahuagin by rendering tokens of their footmen, priestess, and baron. They appear alongside a Giant Oc...

Underwater Assets - Remastered & Expanded

Hey folks!

Today I get to share with you a somewhat unusual release for me--a return to an asset pack I've released before! I'd been wanting to expand more on our fleetingly small underwater portion of our asset library and unlike other themes that may still be able to stand on their own to be built upon, the original underwater assets were released nearly 3 1/2 years ago in March of 2018 as one of the very first sets I ever produced after the immediate popularity of ...
