Community Assets Year 8

Hello all!

When we hit our 8 year mark last month I opened up the 'request line' for patrons to suggest assets they may need in their own campaign or otherwise wish there was more of in the library. I've done this every time for the last handful of years and it consistently generates one of the silliest combination of assets and year 8 is no exception.

From multi-armed deity statues, to psionic weaponry, to new cacti and lounging kitty cats, Community Assets 8 delivers a fun gra...

Furniture Assets 8

Hello all!

During last month's annual patron survey (the overall results of which I'll be sharing soon), one of the earliest, clearest conclusions was a collective enthusiasm for more furniture assets. I followed up on this with a patreon poll to be extra-sure and now I have for you Furniture Assets 8, a set I likely wouldn't have slotted into the rotation until the end of...

Release Schedule Error

Hello all,

It's taken 8 years, but I've finally managed to accidentally not release a 5th "paid post" in March. The Oneshot Wonders Map Pack 29 post that released this morning had ironically been sitting in my 'drafts' and in the increased busyness of March with our various surveys I failed to realize it never got scheduled to post.

After debating my options I've gone ahead and d...

Furniture Assets Preferences

Hello all!

The collective reception to recent packs like Furniture Assets 7 and Royalty Assets 3 (aka fancy furniture) is that y'all are clamoring for interior props and furnishings. This has been reinforced by a clear preference for them as indicated in your responses to the still ongoing Annual Patron Survey in the assets section.

Frankly this is ...

Class Assets 1

Hello all!

While this year's annual patron survey is ongoing, last year's survey indicated a distinguishably high amount of interest in some of the more experimental asset series. It was this direction that lead to the 3 different sets of Planar Assets released this year as well as today's first release of Class Assets.

Dungeondraft Megapacks Update

UPDATE 2: After giving it some time to settle in and test the solution, it would appear the "name changing after downloading" problem has been fixed. Again, not a functional error in any way and the packs will perform the same, but if you'd been holding off on switching over to the new megapacks due to this, you should no longer have any problem.

UPDATE: It would appear that larger file sizes when hosted on patreon are changing their name when downloade...

Planar Assets 3

Hello all!

A year ago you all voted overwhelmingly for seeing an expansion to the asset library further into the realm of the 'weird', trying to explore more visually chaotic and strange elements. To try and fill this need, thusly was Planar Assets born. The first two installments in this series explored the Feywild while the other visualized a more setting-agnostic idea of abyssal, interplanar 'corruption' as is often seen in adventure premises.

Today's instal...

Dwarven Excavation

This month's 5E-based content is another installment of a location from the Dragon of Icespire Peak module, a long destroyed temple to a Dwarven god of greed.

The dungeon possesses a lot of classic dungeon-delving qualities like hidden doors, treasure, and the capacity for the party to investigate all the way into the temple's inner-most sanctum, only to have to fight their way back out again.

If you'd like to see the other maps we've put out from this adventure, simply ...

Shrine of Savras

Hello all!

This month's 5E-based content is another installment of a location from the Dragon of Icespire Peak module, the same adventure where November's Woodland Manse originated. As you can see from the preview image above, the Shrine in question has seen much better days.

Its occupants are now decidedly more of the orcish variety and the map is certainly re...

Furniture Assets 7

Hello all!

It's time for another installment in what is in the competition for our longest running asset series: furniture. A bit of a catch-all theme, this set--like its predecessors--aims to continue filling in gaps in the asset library while also deepening existing sets.

For example, this set introduces things not previously found in the library like stuffed hunting trophies (full body), cloth-draped furniture, incense, and mailboxes while also bringing more stylisti...

Mountainside Assets 4

Hello all!

One particular area of the asset library I've been wanting to supplement for some time now has been the mountains, which haven't seen an update since part 3 over two years ago! In addition to 50+ rocks and boulders that are a bit more in line with my current output, the pack particularly focuses on introducing 3 new styles of cliff sides. All 3 styles are seamless, have multiple options for edge types, and come in 6 different sizes (ranging from 5ft > 30ft). View Post

Nirvana's Depths

Hello all!

So happy to get to share with you all a map I've had in the cooker for quite some time now -- Nirvana's Depths. This is a sprawling, 72-square-wide subterranean layout intended to act in concert with a battle map released last April, Node of Nirvana. 

Both of these maps are inspired by the themes of the home plane of the D&D creature, the Modrons...

Planar Assets 2

Hello all!

We launched the "Planar Assets" series earlier this year after a good majority of you expressed interest in otherworldly assets via 2024's Annual Patron Survey. While the first iteration of the series stuck to the somewhat more familiar terrain of the Feywild, I wanted to make sure this followup set got a little darker.

Hence, Planar Assets 2! A set that is simply cho...

Combat Assets 5

Hello all!

Potentially my favorite "niche" asset series, I'm delighted to bring to you all the 5th installment of Combat Assets. Like its predecessors, this pack aims to deliver an injection of dozens of new slain enemies. More than prior iterations, our abundance of existing humanoid corpses allowed for me to instead broaden a bit more to monstrous varieties, bringing assets for many of D&D's classic enemies.

And while I obviously look forward to seeing w...
