Here are some Prototype floors from earlier stages in the development of our Castle Map (Free Map #40) rework!
These have been long awaited, so thank you for your patience!
As these are prototype floors, they do not all line up perfectly, so fret not if you are confused!
Of course, the final map will be much more polished, user-friendly and is already lining up pe...
In the grounds of Myrtower Academy of the Arcane Arts, in the city of Myrtower, there is a small shrine to its founder. Beneath the shrine, hidden, is a complex of tunnels that leads to the Tomb of the Founder.
This map comes from a suggestion made by one of our marvellous Chibbin Dukes, Callum Jinks!

Here's Map 007, a blank woodland lake region!
This map is an experiment in a new style, playing with lots of simple forms to build up complex images.
There was no method to this madness, just a lot of doodling!

After playing some board games these past few days, inspiration struck to create this cyberpunk-esque, murky back-alley map! This kind of map is great fun for encounters; you can easily create some choke points and it's a prime spot away from prying eyes, perfect for shady dealings!
This map was produced within a 2-hour time limit, so you can expect to see some variants with more detail (sign posts, graffiti, etc) being released for Chibbin Knights and Dukes in ...

As some of you may already know, we have now opened a Discord channel!
Thanks to Patreon and Discord's automated systems, some of our Patrons have already been pulled into the channel. Saves you a job I guess!
The main thing to look out for on our Discord is the WIP tapestries. These are channels exclusively consisting of WIP images from Connor and his custom written commentary. These count as previews for you and little notes for himself! This means ...
Here's Map 005!
This map was created for a friend (@TartanDM), who was actually a catalyst in the creation of Chibbin Grove! He was also part of the DnD group that sparked the whole thing.

A lot of progress has already been made on this map so you may be seeing a final version soon! For now though, we thought we'd give you this prototype to play around with!

Here is Map 003, a 19x36 temple, influenced by Mosque/Basilica architectural styles.
Initially we didn't know what kind of temple this would be but luckily Connor made a little mistake and - Voilà - the cup shape was born and we went with it!
From there the rest of the map developed and now we have the Sacred Grail Temple!

Since the last time you saw Map 001, the line rework has begun! This stage has been sort of an experimentation with what detail we could add to the perimeter of the map to give it a bit more character and flavour!

But first, a quick word from Connor about new map directions:
Some maps will be larger studies and consist of several prototypes and concept developments (Map 001). Some maps will be small, short studies that won't require as much time and fine-tuning. This can be down to simple necessity and also curiosity in the piece. I like to stay engaged with what I'm working on so sometimes I will come back to a piece later once I've... 2019-07-14 20:14:52 +0000 UTC View Post
Prototype unlocked for all Patrons!
Prototype maps like these will normally only be included in the Chibbin Duke tier, however, as a special little thank you for being so patient with us during our internet issues and also to give you an idea of the new tier changes, we're giving everyone full access to all content of the first new map!

Hey folks!
Just to let you know, we are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our internet.
We did plan to have a map released today so that will hopefully be posted tomorrow, though our service provider said it might not be back until Wednesday.
Terrible timing, just as we're getting into the swing of the new setup and schedule but hey, that's life!
Updates will be posted here and on Twitter....

You may or may not have noticed but a few changes have been made to the Chibbin Grove Patreon; particularly the tier system.
Before we get into it I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm Lady Chib, the new Media Manager of sorts for Chibbin Grove. I've been lurking behind the scenes from the beginning but we feel like now is the perfect time to let Chibbin Grove (Connor) focus more on producing maps while I take the reigns of, well, the rest!

In a hole in the ground there lived an artist obsessed with the Shire.
Yes indeed it is clear as day my inspiration for this map came from Tolkien's wonderful hobbit holes.
The entire 6 hours I worked on this map I had awesome Shire Ambient Music created by the very talented Ambient Worlds (I wont lie I listen this more often than I would care to admit)
