Waterdeep City Map - Castle Ward - Pt 1 (All Tiers)

Waterdeep. The City of Splendors. Castle Ward. The central ward of the city and home to much of the government of Waterdeep.

Back to Waterdeep we go! This will be the first of many releases for Castle Ward (as I continue to fine-tune what size is reasonable to complete in a week - so many boxes). This map adds the first 232 buildings to the Castle Ward.

I've changed up a few things with this ward - adding some more texture and depth to the ground layers. I plan to...

Changes to Patreon and Content Focus

A few weeks ago, Patreon announced the retirement of the per-creation billing model, effective November 2025, forcing all creators on this model (like me) to switch to a monthly subscription model.

Since the announcement, I've been contemplating the implications for Tych Maps. This abrupt change is a significant shift in my business model and content release strategy.

Under the per-creation model, you are charged your tier amount with each new map release. You can also set a cap o...

Baldur's Gate - Upper City - City Map (All Tiers)

Baldur's Gate - Upper City - Manorborn - City Map (All Tiers)

The fourth and final district of the Upper City.

Manorborn. Home to the oldest and richest Baldurian Patriar families.

I'll be taking a short break from Baldur's Gate to focus on developing more wards in Waterdeep before venturing into the Lower City.

Map sizes at a 5ft grid for the Manorborn only map is 240x310. The updated in progress map, shown below (v4 - Wide, Temples, Citadel, Manorborn) is 765x1290.

Baldur's Gate - Upper City - Citadel Streets - City Map (All Tiers)

The next of Baldur's Gate's districts - Citadel Streets in the Upper City. A tiny little section of the city, so I took the opportunity to start to work on what is beyond the walls to the west.

Citadel Streets. A small, segregated district of the Upper City housing the Watch Citadel - the barracks and training grounds for the Watch. Beyond the walls lies rolling grassland, scattered trees, and a valley that dips down towards the river.

Baldur's Gate - Upper City - The Wide - City Map (All Tiers)

Why tackle one giant city map (Waterdeep) when you can tackle two! This kicks off my city map project for Baldur's Gate! I'll be jumping back and forth between the two over the next little while and will post a separate update on that in a few weeks laying out the planned work.

This is my interpretation of the Baldur's Gate district The Wide.

Coast Way - OC/DIA (All Tiers)

Coast Way. A winding road through windswept grass and farmland. Heavy rains often soak the ground causing the path to become thick with mud, while whisps of fog blow off the coast and over the hills.

Map Notes. This map could be used for any generic road/travel random encounter but was intended to serve as an encounter map for the Knights of the Shield with farmer Kaddrus from Descent into Avernus. For the setting of the...

Basilisk Gate - Baldur's Gate - Descent into Avernus (All Tiers)

Basilisk Gate. Standing tall against Baldur's Gate's eastern wall, Basilisk Gate provides passageway to the Outer City and the road beyond...at least normally, until the Flaming Fist shut the gate to stop the flow of refugees in and Baldurian's out of the city.

Map Notes. A map like this was a lot of fun to do (I mean...I got to load up Baldur's Gate 3 for a while and wander around taking screenshots to get started...) I wanted to use the BG3 layout as...
