This Eldritch Temple was designed to be the "The Tartarian Temple" in The Sinking of C'Thagn, a Pirate Borg adventure I'm posting later today. See that post for more information (coming soon). It's basically a HUGE Cthulhu style cultist & aquatic themed dungeon. Need I say more?
I've included several useful versions, including flooded, underwater, drained water, a vampire lair, some ritual and space variations—and my personal favorite—a set of maps ...

Welcome to the Anchor Island, the first in a series of modular islands you can use for your campaign, or perhaps a #dungeon23 wave crawl!
We've had a decent amount of internal discussion, and this release is an experiment born from that discussion. I've created a ton of tools for use in DungeonDraft, and then used those tools to create maps. The benefits are:

Happy holidays, everyone!
I'm very excited to reveal a project I have been working on for several months: the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh from H. P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu.
I've been drawing this on my iPad as a passion project, and it is finally ready to share with the world. I have plans to turn this into a printed map with an adventure and location guide on the back... more on that later.
I've got a total of 19 variations for this one, s...

I'm trying something new and I need to know what you guys think about it.
The past few days I've been diving into DungeonDraft. I've converting a lot of my assets and props, and created some tools for creating walls, cliffs, islands, and terrain. I've also drawn lots of new trees, rocks, boulders, and plants.
The benefit of using this tool is that I can create very large battle maps much faster then drawing...

Ah, a classic Limithron boat release.... it's a GOBLIN RAFT!
I've had a sketch of this thing on my hard drive for over a year... this month I decided to finish it.
Of course you can use this as a skeleton or pirate raft, but I love imagining a horde or orcs or goblins crowding is deck. If you are familiar with the Magic the Gathering setting Ixalan, I love the idea of goblins like those... basic...

Update: sorry for the double post. We had a glitch.
Well, we decided we needed a good old "beach" map, but I got pretty inspired and 17 variations is what came out of it.
You'll find the classic "dead pirates hanging from a rock as warning" beach, but also several versions and assets for creating a Whale Graveyard. I've even included black sand versions for those of you running the ever amazing 2022-11-01 05:31:37 +0000 UTC
