Hi everyone,
I thought it would be good to write a little summary of the past year and what kind of plans I have for 2021. I'll try to keep things short and to the point. Let's start with what happened in 2020...
The last year has been maybe the most eventful year in my history as a Patreon creator since 2015.

At the end of 2020, I had more than 250 released map packs on Patreon. Forty-seven of these were released ...

Mos Cyre is a small spaceport located on a remote planet close to the Rift. The city is surrounded by high rocks protecting it from the harsh weather conditions. Mos Cyre was originally established by a sect of monks, but around a decade ago it was found by a group of refugees who were met with hospitality by the monks. While the city is now under a new rule, the Temple of Ab'Aherran...

Hi everyone,
The Foundry VTT modules are updated now and you should be able to update installed modules from the Add-on Modules tab and install new modules, including the latest work-in-progress module Vol 5, from the same tab using the manifest links here (Requires Hero tier).
Big Foundry VTT Module update coming later today. One more map to do, and I'll do that after my day job in the evening. Module 4 will be complete with 10 maps and there will be 2 more maps in module 5.
The city map I've been working on for some time already got approved by the patron whose custom map it is and I'll wrap up the delivery probably tomorrow. While I have the ...

Killball is an ultraviolent blood sport that became popular in the underworld through illegally distributed sensory streams and virtual reality holocasts.
Two cybernetically or otherwise technologically augmented teams fight against each other trying to take the ball from the center of the arena to the other team's goal.
During the past few years, some areas have legalized kil...

Hi everyone!
One of the changes I'm going to roll out this year is the map themes and theme polls. Before there was a bunch of miscellaneous maps as candidates for the next month's releases, but when I started working on the map assets, I quickly noticed that this method doesn't work that well.
So, from now on there's going to be a theme for the next fi...

The White Rabbit Nightclub is a map that I made for all kinds of nightclub encounters. This can act as a regular meeting place or the characters might need to meet someone here to make a shady deal, or the players might need to heist the nightclub's owner's private office.
I designed the map so that there is an office, backstage, private lounges, and a VIP area beside the obvious bar and ...

Just a quick update on what I'm working on and what to expect still during this month.
First of all, I'm almost done with the White Rabbit cyberpunk nightclub map and an asset pack for it. There's also some more generic cyberpunk themed assets included.
Then I have an abandoned mining colony in good order already. All it needs is some extra props and at first, I was going to draw in a mining ...

This bioship deckplan is inspired by the biomechanical ships of the Engineers in the Alien universe. I wanted to make a map that has the feel of H.R. Giger's amazing art with strange biological shapes and an uncanny feel. I admit that I surprised myself channeling my inner H.R. Giger so well that I need to rework some parts of the ship a couple of times to keep it "safe for work" XD. ...

This map could be a hidden weapons cache for rebels or smugglers in locations like these inspired by Kashyyyk, Rodia, Felucia, and Endor. There are also empty versions that would work in a fantasy setting as a hag or faerie lair, for example.

I've been thinking about my plans and goals for the next year and here's some news before the end of the year.

Volcanoes are always cool places for encounters – well, actually not – but who would not want to run an intense battle scene or an exciting scene against time on top of a bubbling and hissing pool of lava. So, I decided to make a map just for those moments. I also did space and sky background variants and propped the map with a generator of sorts, an open portal, and a magic circle.
This map comes also with a bunch of ambient audio tracks by Michael Ghelfi to set th...

Hi everyone,
First I'd like to thank you all for your patience. At the beginning of the month, I started to feel a bit under the weather. I had a severe lack of energy and some signs of getting sick, so I needed to get some rest and take it easy for a few days.
As you might know, currently maps are something I do in the evening and late at night. I still have my day job and family that needs my time and attention and sometimes it can get straining ...
2020-12-16 16:25:23 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
So, December is here and today is the 5th anniversary of Miska's Maps! What a journey this has been! :D
Here's a quick summary:
Ok, here it is :) I'm very happy to announce Miska's Maps Starter Prop Pack.
This is sort of a first version. I'm still figuring out a naming convention for the assets, so didn't see the effort to name all the assets properly. These props in this pack are not yet very well titled. Sorry about that :/
This set is without any drop shadow effects, but I'll make some experiments and see if the future packs would have versions with and without a sha...

Hi everyone,
Writing this quick update on my break from finishing the first assets pack.
I’m very sorry about the delay, but these assets have taken much longer than I expected. On the other hand, this is another 100 props on top of the other 100 or so props from the last month. In practice, this means that the upcoming asset pack will include more that 200 unique hand-drawn props.
Once these are done (and I expect these to be done vefore tomorrow), I can finish the pend...
Hello all,
here are some drafts of the maps and assets I'm working on. I'm been working heavy on the assets lately and there's going to be another 100-ish new asset coming this month. (I'll try to push them out before the end of the month so the first asset pack would have around 200 assets).
As I started to make map assets and props a little over a month ago this changed my workflow quite a bit. Earlie...
2020-11-26 09:43:06 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, time for a map poll. Next month will be dedicated to cyberpunk. Some time ago I asked for your suggestions for the maps and I got around 50 suggestions after similar suggestions and duplicates were baked together. Thank you everyone for the ideas!
Obviously, having a list of 50 options might not be the best idea, so I picked the 12 most popular and interesting ideas for the poll.
Vote your favorites and let's see what maps and assets I'll be working on ne...
2020-11-26 09:01:29 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve been looking into the grid scale used in different games, and seems that actually quite few sci-fi games use the traditional D&D scale of 10 or 5 feet squares.
Some that I checked use actually 2 meter squares, so I thought it might be a good idea to set up a poll to find out which grid sizes are the most popular among you.
Please note that by squares I all kinds of grid cells, square or hex, or whatever there might be :)
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I'm very happy to announce that a new goal was achieved today: 750 patrons!
This means that from now on I will be making monthly asset pack releases, likely at the end of the month. First release will be made this month with well over 100 mixed assets and next month will be coming more and the theme is Cyberpunk.
Thank you for your support!

Hi everyone,
During this year I have started making battle maps for virtual tabletops, especially for Roll20 and Foundry VTT, and just recently I started making props. While I haven't released yet any asset/prop packs, they are coming before the end of November and I'm sure there will be more on monthly basis in the future. I've also started finally working on some modular map sections (the first batch coming out soon!)
But, what's next? <...

My main theme for December is going to be Cyberpunk and I'm looking for some ideas for cyberpunk, or futuristic urban locations, scenes, and such for the upcoming map poll.
When possible there will be steampunk or urban fantasy (e.g. Ravnica or Sharn) variants of the maps. Otherwise, and by default, I'll fit them for Cyberpunk and sci-fi aesthetics.
Submit your ideas in the comments below by 21st of November, thank you!

It's a tale as old as time, the endless series of costly intergalactic conflicts have destroyed supply lines, devastating the manufacturing industry of New Corazon. The collection of old factories on the outskirts of the city have been shuttered, workers turned away by barred steel doors. However, rumors abound among the local residents. They say the sounds of clattering machinery can once again be heard, emanating into the cold and unforgiving night. And the workers say that the technology l...

These will be specifically for the upcoming Factory map, but also for the upcoming modular space station pieces.
