Besieged Battlements 48x36

Hey all!

Back again with a part 2 of the previous map! Keen to get your thoughts if this sort of connectivity is something that is useful on your table for larger story telling, so feel free to shout out your thoughts!

Sustained Siege 48x36

Hey all! 

We're a little later in the month than normal for the first map, but have no fear, there is some method to the madness. I'm experimenting with building a bit of a larger scene to have multiple maps joining more directly onto each other, which you'll see with the next map, soon to be released as well!

I hope this sort of thing is useful for your gaming tables and keeping action flowing from one encounter to the next!

Verdant Villa 48x27

Here we go, the last map of March! The render times on this one definitely caught me a little off guard going into 4 levels, but we've made it and I've got a few more in development for April already!

Third March Map Incoming

Wow, we're at the end of March already! You've probably noticed that we've only had 2 of the 3 releases so far. Never fear, the third is on its way, though it is taking a little longer to finish rendering than I had anticipated. 


I of course want to make sure that I'm not giving you something half baked, so bare with me and I'll have the map in your inboxes soon, fresh and piping hot, straight out of my graphics card/heater with of course 3 more through the rest of April...

Cloud Cruise 48x27

Hey All! Stoked to get this one out to you! Not only did I really enjoy putting it together, but I’ve managed to optimise the render/export of it (unfortunately not yet possible for every map) and get an animated version out for each of the alternate versions. Due to this I’ve made the animated version of the base map also available to the COPPER subscribers to share the love around for everyone!

Hope you and your players have fun with it!

King's Cavern - 96x27

Hey all! My apologies that it's taken a little longer to get the first one out this month, the wife and I have been shifting accommodation (first of several anticipated moves over this year) and getting the internet connected proved to take longer than expected. That said, I've been working away on the content for this month offline, so expect a few more posts as we head to the end of the month!

Hey all! Just wanted to take a quick moment to say thank you for all your support over 2021, whether you have been on here for a single day or since day one your support is incredible and I couldn't be making these without you all! 

Looking forward to making bigger and better maps with you all going into 2022!

Hey all! I really ran the gauntlet with this one for getting it out as the last of the November maps, but there was a few little extra elements that I wanted to add in before releasing it and I wanted to make sure that I was 100% happy with it before putting it out for you all.

I hope you all enjoy it! Now onwards and upwards to the December maps!

Some Bonus Content - Laboratory of Lunacy

Hi all, it feels like it's been a while since I managed to last put out some bonus content, so whilst I keep working through the remaining maps for the month I wanted to kick out a few new versions of the Halloween map, one with a portal and crystal energy coloured to align with the Shamanic Sanctuary map from August (just in case you need two sides to the portal) and another with some retro film grain applied to it for the retro vibes!

I'm really digging these next couple of maps that...

Hey all! So I've uploaded PDFs of the high resolution maps for this one. It was pointed out to me that most of the free programs that can do poster printing pay wall JPG compatibility, so PDFs hopefully can help save everyone who is printing these out a few Dollarydoos. If these are useful please let me know and I can work my way through the back catalogue to convert those over as well!

Repository of Records 48x27

I've been a little delayed in taking down the discounted tiers, but I will be getting onto that over the next few days, so jump onto those if you havent already, especially for anyone still on the older, pre-monthly tiers, which will be getting rolled into the closest current tier as this happens.


Also, I've chucked a bit of bonus content into the last map with the tower levels laid out next to it in both the static and animated version of the base map, something that I hope ...

Sodden Spire 48x27

Phew, just made it with the last map for August. Keeping in with the theme of this month of going bigger and better than previously I think this is the most levels I've managed to fit into a map so far, and my take away from it is that rendering and exporting times really add up on multi level maps!

Cause it's taken a  bit longer I've not gotten around to doing a final reminder of the discount tiers closing, so I'm going to keep them open for one more week...

Wasteland Waterway 48x27 - Jungle Update

Another extra bit of content (don't worry a fresh map is on it's way as well), with a patron request for an animated version of the Jungle map from the 0045_WastelandWaterway on the SILVER tier, as well as a bunch of perspective views for everyone. For all you on the COPPER level I have made the Jungle variant static map available for download also, so I hope you all have some fun with that!

Map Poll - Biomes!

Hey all, my aim with these polls are to make sure I am making maps that are relevant to your needs! I'm going to kick it off with the biomes that you are all running. If you cant see an option that you want on this please let me know and I'll add it! 


I'll also say that this poll will help me figure out what map variants are useful as well as the main maps, so if you're really keen on a specific biome feel free to reach out and I'll do my best to keep you covered!
