Monthly Recap April '23

Hello all! Here's your recap of everything released in the last month:

Fistandia's Mansion: Candlekeep Mysteries Map // Direct Link to Post 

Fabled Fighters Tokens pt.3: Generic Guards!

Hello token users!

This set is actually a part of last month's token production, but because I pivoted to it later than normal, it was wrapped up a little later than normal too. Generic Guards is just that... guards! Some of the more resounding feedback from our Annual Patron Survey in March came from our token users and it was for more NPCs! And after that... melee fighters! Thusly, Guards seemed the best of both wor...

Riven City Sewers

Hello all!

For our last release of April I have for you, Riven City Sewers!

The 17x30 square battle map is a longer length view of a rather grandly-sized subterranean chamber located beneath the streets of any city with enough size to necessitate such a infrastructural wonder. It's been a little while since I've done anything strictly along the boundaries of the "sewer" theme and it was fun to return!

In addition to the base version of the...

Steinhardt's Tokens for the Eldritch Hunt: Part 3

Prepare for the Hunt...

Hello token users! Welcome to Part 3 of our mini-series of Steinhardt Tokens.

These tokens are developed for the highly successful Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt. While the original kickstarter campaign earned it nearly 20,000 backers, if you're not already familiar with it know that it's...

Garden Assets 2

Hello all!

As the name suggests, this is a follow up pack on one of my personal favorite asset niches: Garden Assets. Like any followup pack, I had balance of things I wanted to do to expand the series as well as improve on the original. It's possible I may have gone a little overboard as the final set here includes 350+ assets.

6 Year Community Assets

Hey folks!

Last month as a part of our 6 year milestone on Patreon I invited all of you to submit ideas and requests for various asset needs specific to your campaigns! Like its 5 year counterpart before, those requests have generated a rather diverse selection! Altogether we've gathered 80 a...

Creobold's Ballroom

Hello all!

Last month as a part of our 6-year anniversary on Patreon I revisited one of my oldest dungeon maps, Creobold's Underbelly and re-envisioned it at battle-map scale. The premise of the dungeon is that of a secret subterranean complex hidden beneath the home of a local noble. It houses all their dirty little secrets and even provides a nice escape route in case of a... fiery uprisi...

Fistandia's Mansion

This permanent casting of Magnificent Mansion is secretly accessible through one of the rooms within Candlekeep proper and is the backdrop to the first chapter of the adventure.

Calling all Pathfinder Players!

Hello all!

As indicated in the recent patron survey feedback, there was a pretty good clamor for Pathfinder to be considered amongst the options of new directions for making adventure-specific content. While I have a vague understanding of Pathfinder and its history, I will be frank in acknowledging that I have very little familiarity beyond that in terms of its game structure, settings, adve...

Adventure Assets Theme

Hello! In the recent patron survey feedback, one of the many questions was a list of possible new asset themes. Among these one of the clear favorites as a concept I referred to as "Adventure Assets". These packs would be geared towards a specific, published Adventure setting (likely 5E for now, but with lots of potential for PF and even other roleplaying settings).

The premise of this would ...

New Environmental Assets Preferences

Hello! As indicated in the recent patron survey feedback, it's looking like we need to put some renewed energy into further charting out as of yet unexplored or underappreciated biomes. 

If you would, please select the biome(s) you'd most want to see given some love in the asset library. If you are keening for an environment type that I've not listed here, please say so! Thank y...

L'Arsene's Ledger of Tokens: Part 1

Okay, okay, the official title is actually L'Arsene's Ledger of Treasure & Trinkets, but I digress.

Token users, I am so very pleased to get to share with you a bite-sized preview of what's to come as a result of the newest Kickstarter campaign from the same team that I worked with last year on the token...

Monstrous Assets

Hey folks!

I actually had a different pack lined up for March's 2nd asset pack, but in the recently closed Annual Patron Survey there was a section for you all to indicate interest in specific themes and much to my surprise, Monstrous Assets was a pretty clear favorite over the others.

The Mastaba of Hamukai is another location from the Candlekeep Mysteries 5E adventure that we've been steadily releases maps from for well over a year now. This mastaba and its subterranean area are found within the Alkazaar's Appendix chapter of the adventure, the same arc that last month's map of Haruun is ba...

6 Years of Maps: Photoshop Archives!

Hello all!

A few days ago we shared the first official event of our 6 year anniversary celebration, "Open the Vault" (as well as the Annual Patron Survey before that). This is a temporary gift of a year's worth of content, but is also most only useful for our Pilgrim and Strategist tier supporters, as Explo...

6 Years of Maps: Open the Vault!

Hey folks!

As mentioned last week, March marks our 6th year of making maps from your support on patreon. I've got a few things cooking to help celebrate and show some of my appreciation for your continued encouragement and assistance. The first of which is an appropriation of an event we did last year that seemed too good to pass up again this time.

Grounds of the Southern Temple

Hello all!

Squeaking in a final map release here at the end of February and I gotta say, I am loving this one and how it's turned out. I'll admit I'm kind of a sucker for ruins anyways, but was trying out a couple of new things here in particular that I was excited to experiment with. 

One of my favorite games of 2022 was Tunic; a fairly popula...
