Construction Site with Hex Grid + blank Hex grid.png
For those of you running your games with a little more tactical flair I put together another map with a Hex Grid.
I'll be making more, I promise, but (as requested) I've also attached a big, hex grid PNG file. It's white with a transparent background.
I also want to note that, unlike nice simple squares, hex grid math is a little funky.
I've oriented my grid hori...

I had a request for this map with a Hex Grid.
I did some mucking about and came up with something that I think would work.
If you have thoughts about hexes, let me know.

Hey Neighbours,
This month's map is a big house. It's got a big garage, a pool, three bedrooms, etc.
Is it haunted? Is it where the heroes are hiding, planning, investigating, or vacationing? Is it one of the drug lord's safe houses?
I wanted to make both the exterior and interiors useful for play, so each map is really four maps: Exterior, Ground Floor, Exterior with the Canopy Hidden, and Second Floor.

Welcome Home,
As of yesterday (June 21st, '23) it is summer; grab your favourite floatie and dive into the pool.
This map is just a big house. Boring? Not in the hands of you GMs!
It's not only a big house, it's a big map. I wanted to make the exterior and interiors useful for play, so each map is really four maps: Exterior, Ground Floor, Exterior with the Canopy Hidden, and Second Floor. This took some serious fiddling in Blender and Photoshop. I hope it ...

Welcome Travelers,
The DC-3 is generally considered the greatest aircraft of all time.
“Built to last, to land anywhere and never to break, Douglas churned out more than 11,000 of the type before and during World War II.”
This is an 80+ year-old plane and there are still likely more than 150 of them flying today.

Welcome Gamemasters,
Maybe the thought of spending more time in an office building doesn't excite you, but think of all the great fun heros can have infiltrating, destroying, defending, and investigating in one.
The Original map has a modern open-concept layout with 'pods' of workspaces, break and 'conversation' areas and a few meeting rooms and private offices.
My generous patrons get up to 9 Variations of this map, all in

Hello Gamemasters,
This is a big one, perhaps inspired by the building going up outside my window (bye-bye view).
My Patrons get up to 8 variations of the map plus 9 construction vehicle tokens to play with.
There's an ruined/abandoned variation, plus one where opportunistic squatters/survivors have made it their base.
Then there's a couple of 'discovery' variations: an arcane portal and dinosaur bones (yes, I know this is ridiculous, but I think it'...

Hello you Blue-collar Heroes,
This is a big one, perhaps inspired by the building going up outside my window (bye-bye view).
I made two versions, the main difference being the size of the building (version 2 has no crane). Both of those versions come with a 'No Vehicles' variation so you can take advantage of the nine construction vehicle tokens in the pack. Personally, I like making vroom-vroom sounds as I move the bulldozer around like a Tonka toy.
There's a rui...

Longtime patron Joe Ryan has done it again!

Looks like there's some serious action around the basement bar and pool.
Map Pack 46 (Bonus): Hospital Emergency + Imaging
Bonus Variation
Patron Robb McClune suggested that a CT Scanner would have fit nicely into the Emergency Department map pack and imagined a scene where some super-powers were activated by the device.
Great idea! Too good to let go, I thought, so here's a bonus variation for all of you. I changed the top-right area of the map to show a CT Scanning room and a Radiographic X-Ray Room.
Speaking as someone who has had more than his fair share of medical s...

Hello Again Patrons,
Here's a place I hope you're not too familiar with (unless you work in healthcare): an ER.
It's potentially a sister-map of my old Hospital Ward map.
Heroes and investigators will surely enjoy having bloody 'Trouble' sprung on them when they're trying to get a bone set.
And a ruined ER has got to be fully of unhappy spirits.
I hope you c...

If you're curious about Savage Worlds, or would like a refresher on how to play, GM Lee (who happens to be a patron here), has just started a video series about the game.
It's an excellent introduction and he shows the the rules in action using a couple of my maps. It really makes me want to play more! And make more maps!
Map #45: Nightclub
Welcome Adventurers,
It's dark out, a good time to hit the clubs.
Looking to reach as many customers as possible, the owners of this place have divided the space into two rooms: one for the main dancefloor, the other with more seating and the bigger bar. When you want to look at the stars you can grab a seat at the patio bar.

For my first map of the year I decided to embrace the darkness.

Perhaps because there is a large, and very noisy, construction project going on outside my window, my thoughts turned to feats of engineering this month.
