March 2020 Update

What a month....this one went a lot different than what I had anticipated, I was practically ill for the first half of the month with the worst cold I ever had....and now the Corona virus is picking up a lot of speed all over the world. Stay safe and practice social distancing in these times!

I'm once again way behind schedule, but I'm working on a very big map for all of you, incorporating last months theme "Redwood Tree". This will be a Two-release map as I am planning to draw multipl...

The Blacksmith

Hey everyone,

Basically in the last minutes of February I was able to finish the last map, worked the whole day on it! I hope youll enjoy this small Blacksmith combined with a shop.

The Smith is working with some very unique materials and is known far beyond the cities walls for his craftsmanship. Are you looking for some magic items or do you want to commission a custom sword or armor? Are you sure you can afford his prices? ;)

The Cursed Throneroom

Hey everyone,

Here is this months bonus map, this map is a reward for one of my Hero-Tier patrons Miss-Rolles Adventures.

A brief description from him:

"This is a map taking place in a royal castle. It is designed to look typical to a throne room as well as have a curse or potential threat as there is a figure encompassed in amber like gemstone!"

The Oblex Lair

Hey everyone,

This first map is the voted map from last month, a small Dungeon, in this case an Oblex Lair!

For those not familiar, an Oblex is a very intelligent ooze that was created by mind flayers. They always hunt for more victims as they feed on their memories! An elder Oblex is able to create multiple replicas of their victims, which they then use to get new prey close to them again.

This is also the theme of this little dungeon. Unbeknown to the adventurers an Elder ...

The big old Stump

Hey there,

This months bonus map is another wilderness map, the big old stump!

Legends say that beneath an old tree stump lies the home of ancient fairies and other creatures from the Feywild. Some say the Stump and the tunnels under it lead to a portal that connects this plane with the Feywild. After arriving at a small village and listening to the local chitchat of a few farmers that swear to have seen fairies flying back into the nearby forest and vanish from sight if you follo...

Deep in the jungle your group is looking for the ruins of a long forgotten civilization, after days of travel you have the feeling that you're hopelessly lost in the depths of vines, trees and other plants, at night you have the feeling that you're being watched and slowly you and your group ...

September Update

Hey everyone!

Welcome to all new patrons, thank you so much for the continued support!

This month I will implement some changes to how I'm posting maps, thanks to cze from czepeku (Check them out!) I now know how to link files in posts and as a result there will be only one post per map now with links for each tier if needed, this will streamline the post and will hopefully make the maps easier to access =) View Post

The Forest Portal

Hey everyone,

Today our heroes set foot into an old forest that lies 2 days away from the port city of Anbar.

From Anbar they saw a light errupting from various points spread across the planet, one was in the direction of this forest and they decided to investigate this.

The forest is old and dark and as soon as they set foot into the dense undergrowth they feel how something is wrong in this forest, it seems that all wildlife has fled and there is an eerie silence. In the m...

Welcome to Hell! Welcome to Avernus!

Hey everyone,

Last Month you voted for another map theme and the poll was pretty much set on a visit into the Nine Hells, fitting for the upcoming WotC DnD 5e Adventure "Descent into Avernus"

This is one of the ruins you see all over Avernus. Before the Blood War this has been a civilized realm, but now its only a charred, blasted and abandoned wasteland. The earth is cracked and civilisation long gone as the only intact structures are of military type.
