Release Schedule + Month's Theme Poll

Hi everyone!

Happy June! I hope you are all doing well! I had a few days of much needed rest and I am hoping to be back in full swing. We have a bit of a bad air situation on the East coast, and my asthma has been acting up due to it, but we have pretty good air purifiers at home, so I am hoping it will be sufficient to stave off some of the worst effects.

As is the new tradition, I am including the theme poll for the month. I will pick 3-4 winning themes to release the maps for t...

Sewers Battle Map

Hi everyone!

Since one of the winning themes for the month was dungeons, I decided that a good ol' sewers map would probably do well. I normally stay away from dungeon maps, because my style doesn't suit super well to them, because I like to use (and mess around with) perspective - and that's hard to do with multiple rooms and corridors. I do like the way this one came out though, so hope you do too. I also have not released a sewer map in actual years, so figured it was about time I re...

Dario's Watch Encounter, D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e Compatible + Adventure Hook Poster and Notice Board

The next encounter of the month is here! I apologize for releasing all of these really close together, but we needed to reshuffle the process this month, so it took a little more time to get it all sorted. In the future, these will be more spread out over the month, since we should be better adjusted to the new changes.

Wanted to show you again the notice board sample of the last two encounters' adventure hook posters pinned on the notice board:

The Mysteria Encounter for D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e + Adventure Hook Poster and Notice Board

Hi everyone!

We have several new things going on with our encounters now:

1. The new Pathfinder 2e editor has been recruited and has been closely working with Lee on the conversions. If you see anything that still needs further improvements, please let me know! We are approaching this is an iterative process where we try to constantly improve and revise where the revisions are needed.

2. We are going to start releasing adventure hook posters and noti...

Shadow Temple Phased Battle Map

Hi everyone!

Hooo boy! This map took a WHILE to make. I thought I'd have to delay the release until tomorrow, because it was taking so long. I am really happy the way it came out though, so I hope you like it as well!

Here's a quick reminder, just in case you wanted to use one of these phased battle maps on Roll20, and not sure how to: you can just go to the map layer, and put the phased maps, from last phase to first, on top of each other. Then when it is time to...

Before the Dawn Encounter - Request for Feedback

Hi everyone!

Those of you who are Pathfinder Gurus, I need your help! I hired a Pathfinder editor to help us improve these encounters. They went ahead and edited this one. Now I need your feedback!

Once we get these encounters to a good state, I am going to go ahead and update all the rest we've released (you will get a notification letting you know they were updated).

So yeah, please let me know what you think!

Poster Map of The Month - Shrine of Everlasting Dawn

Hi everyone!

It is time for the poster map of the month! Every two months, my Adamantium Tier Patrons get to choose either a map of the month or a map they can select via a survey (any of my releases are eligible to be printed) to be sent to them in a physical poster format! This month, the map is Shrine of Everlasting Dawn.

Dragon Egg Hatchery Battle Map [30x50]

Hi everyone!

I am super happy with the way this map came out! The thought behind this one is that some sort of a people, perhaps secluded from the rest of the society, have been tasked with hatching and raising dragons ages ago. It's been a long time since their task started, and as time went by, those outside may have lost the memory of these people, and they aren't doing so well anymore. Things are falling apart, there is disrepairs everywhere, but they still have eggs to hatch and th...

Pathfinder Encounters Feedback

Hi everyone!

Now that we released a few Pathfinder encounters, I'd like to solicit your feedback. I have a feeling we may need to further tweak the Pathfinder encounters, even maybe find a Pathfinder consultant who can help us make the mechanics really good for the system.

Please let me know! I want to make sure we improve as we go. Thanks!

So this month I am actually moving to a new place! While I am posting my release schedule below, I am actually not entirely sure I will be able to adhere to it >.<. I have every intention to stick to it though, but there releases may end up being off by a few days here and there.

As usual, we will be releasing the encounters, Foundry modules etc - they are just not on a schedule - you will see them drop between the paid releases.
