Wooster
Hello folks!
Today I bring to you another addition to my setting of the Great Expanse: the town of Wooster. As you can see from the image this map is a bit of a departure from previous maps that I've made a variety of ways: the perspective at which it is presented, the coloring and rendering styles (I got to cross-hatch!), and even the slightly-over-the-top cutesy label banners I drew.
I hope you all will forgive the variance in direction for a location map ...

Elemental Phylactery (collaboration)
Hello all!
Thought we'd kick off the last month of 2020 the right way: with a crazy set of maps paired up with a collaborative collection!
The frozen variant of the Elemental Phylactery was my contribution to a winter-themed collaboration from the same group of creators that I worked on the Morley Estate with back in October. It comes packed with other winter-themed battle maps, p...

With the end of the month drawing near 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're no longer available here, I've collected the links for them below for you.

Hey folks!
Today as the last release of November I have to share with you the 2nd edition of my recent category of map I've been experimenting with in 2020: map collections! The last one (Forest Maps Collection) was a bit more of an experiment born out of the Annual Patron Survey in June. After releasing both...

Hey folks! With the release of this month's Feywild Assets, it's time to deliberate and begin planning for what the next Public Asset Pack will be. I've included the remaining options from the previous poll as well as an option for a 2nd iteration of a previous pack. If that option were to win there would need to be a followup poll to decide between the various options: Forest, Tavern, Snow, Rivers, Urb...

Ruins of Neandolen
Hey people!
Earlier in the month I shared with you The Wilted Tower, a multi-level, encounter-scale map(s) depicting a corrupted tree that'd been overtaken by an evil witch. Today I get to share with you a followup location from the same setting: the Ruins of Neandolen.
These elvish ruins are also a part of the 5E adventure module To Catch a Unicorn and help to align so nicely with the other fey-related content released this month. This dungeon map ...

Feywild Assets
They're here!
Hey folks,
The patiently-awaited Feywild Assets have arrived and I'm pumped about it. This has been such a fun and weird combination of things to create and prepare for an asset pack, at times revisiting classic pieces like simply trees (!) alongside stranger props a la the Spell Assets in the form of mists and 'dazzle clouds'.
In total within the pack you'll find:
- 1 new grass texture (in 4 color variants)

Wilted Tower Photoshop File
Hey folks! When I'm working on larger maps I sometimes end up breaking up different steps/sections into different PSD files, as I did with this one. Follow THIS LINK to the google drive folder where I've got different downloadable files for different sections, labeled accordingly. Enjoy!

Hello all!
Excited to kick off the month of November with a few pieces to supplement a loose ~fey~ theme in anticipation of the Feywild Assets coming later this month! The first of these locations is the Wilted Tower--a multilevel decrepit tree that's been overtaken and corrupted by an evil witch.
This location (as well as another coming later on) are both a part of the recently kickstarted 5E adventure module, To Catch a Unicorn. The author, Anders Jorda...

Meezul's Conservatory
Hey folks!
So the "default" spooky version of this map is a part of the Meezul's Mysterious Mansion mega-collab for Halloween, which you should definitely check out as it comes with a ton of really fun, quirky stuff that makes for a phenomenally fun Halloween one-shot.
Here however I've separated my map for your own downloading as well as two patron-only variants of the map, an 'unspooked' normal conservatory alongside a winter one! This map is a slightly...

It’s that time of year again.
The air grows cooler and the greens of summer burst into hues of gold and red. The harvest is reaped and the children stir as if manifesting the restless spirits they mimic in their costumes. The Festival of Souls is upon us, and while the townsfolk prepare for the season’s festivities, the entity who inspired these very traditions grows ever more sour for having been forgotten to time...

Hey folks!
One area of confusion that I've been dealing with on my end over the last few months lies within the realm of actually printing these maps. I've heard different things from patrons and differing opinions from other creators, so I thought I'd come directly to the source--you!
This poll is for patrons that have, do, or intend to print out my maps for use at the table (VTT users, please abstain). Essentially, my goal is to get a clearer understanding of which form...

Hey people!
Got a fun one for you today: Ruin Assets (how have I not made these already?)
This pack is a bit bigger than most, bringing you 87 unique assets, all of which come in 4 different color variations (blueish, purpleish, yellowish, and original) as well as with or without a (hand-painted!) shadow.
Altogether these 696 assets fill a much needed gap in the asset library. How critical and near-universal are ancient ruins ...
