New downloads in the Patron-Only shop!

These maps were made for my personal collection and/or home games and I thought I'd share them with you! 

As I'm working on a map of Skyrim, I'm reminded yet again how I wouldn't be able to do this without all of you!  My original Skyrim map started this all and I thought it high-time to revamp it now that I can work digitally! Naturally, it's really hard to work on projects like these that I cannot sell (unless Bethesda gives me the go-ahead) when I have bills to pay. You all...

New Goal: Supporting me helps support other artists

This month I'm working on the Dueling Anvils forge: a husband & wife black/white-smithing team. I would love to include tokens for. So, I've set a new goal! I would love to collaborate with Stephanie Brown who already does character packs but need to make enough funds to cover my bills & still pay her for her art.  When she's unavailable for work, I'd still like to hire someone to do tokens for us to help spr...

Exciting new project

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen my tweet about how I have a notebook filled with an abundance of NPCs with stories that I pull from when I DM. One of my players is learning to become a DM herself and when talking about world building, I offered to lend her my notebook to make the task a little less daunting. She asked why I didn't have this available on my site and I realized...I just hadn't thought of it!

At first I was going to just type up the descriptions & storie...

Scouting & Treasure Map Brushes

This pack includes 2 new drawing brushes made by me along with over 100 hand-drawn brushes to make your own scouting or treasure maps! One brush produces a quill-like pattern for a wonderfully "aged" look and the other is a similar "quill-like" brush but shaped perfectly hand-lettering! Lots of icons for building treasure maps or perhaps something found stuffed into a desk drawer or book found in a library. Intrigue your players with a "quickly scrawled map" and start them on an epic quest! View Post

Happenings!

Hello hello! As always, there's a lot happening and I'll do my best to give them headers so you can skip to the parts that interest you. :D

How to access your perks

I cannot stress enough that the best way to access your perks is through my website & Discord. I don't post perks through Patreon anymore because of the completely lack of navigation to allow you to find your perks easily. Not to mention that I can easily gift you things on here like I can on my ...
