It feels like every time I make an update on this Patreon announcing any changes to the release schedule, I receive some big, exciting news that completely changes my plans.
I am now an official member of the Forgotten Adventures Battlemaps team! This has been something of a dream for me since they established the team last year, and while it is incredibly exciting for me, it comes with an apology: I will be unable to produce new work for my Patreon going forward. I will keep the Patr...

As you step into the murky water of the flooded crypt, you're met with the heavy stench of rot, and something cracks and splinters beneath your feet.
You hold your torch close to the water's surface, and strain your eyes to see through the swirling clouds of filth kicked up by your intrusion.
Scattered bones litter the floor of the crypt, and you know from the feeling in your gut that these aren't the bones this crypt was built to house.
One by one, you hear the so...

Flickering firelight illuminates the hilltop, and you can hear the villagers singing as they dance around the flames, celebrating the coming harvest.

I always intended for this map to represent a ritual site of some kind, but it had escaped my notice that it was getting so close to Lughnasadh, so the map is much more appropriate for the time of year than I initially expected! For those who aren't aware, Lughnasadh is a Celtic festival that marks the beginning of ...

The waves swell, and seafoam spills over the side of the rowboat as you battle the current, oars gripped with white-knuckled determination, rowing towards the cavernous maw of the moonlit cliff-face.

This map was a lot of fun to work on for me - I'm still learning the various workings of Clip Studio Paint, but I think I'm making pretty good progress with it!

Hi folks!
I know it hasn't been very long since my last update post, but given the big promises I made at the end of May I thought I should let you know where things stand currently, especially as I received some pretty big news during the month that's going to disrupt those plans a bit.

The News:
Earlier this month I was invited to work on an as-of-yet unannounced project for Foundry VTT. I can't say very much about it yet, but I'm sure you can ...

When you finally step out from beneath the shade of the forest, you find yourself surrounded by the stumps of freshly felled trees in a clearing devoid of color.
The river has run dry here, and the south bank is lined with jagged stakes to prevent anyone crossing without using the bridge. A crudely assembled palisade looms over the scene, built from the bones of the forest.

As you make your way along the blighted woodland, something catches your eye by the roots of a great tree - a moss-covered tombstone stands vigil over an open grave, an old shovel standing in the dirt to the side.
As you draw near, you hear something muttering from the grave. You ready your weapons, preparing for the worst.
You look over the edge, into the depths of the earth, and an old man glares up at you with an incredulous expression.
"And you are?"

Hi folks!
It's been a long time since I made an update post, and I think it's about time for another, as there are some pretty big changes coming that I wanted to make you all aware of.
I'll go into these points in more detail and provide some previews below, followed by a brief statement regarding the last six months or so, but first, a summary of what's to come:
-I'm going to switch to releasing four 25x25 maps per month.
-I've started using Clip Stud...

The villagers blamed the old tower's curse for all their misfortunes, and they warned you to stay away. Ever the heroes, your party couldn't resist the temptation to investigate, hoping to dispel whatever evil clung to the ruins.
After clearing the rubble from the trapdoor in the northwest corner, you make your way down the stairs. A gust of wind rips through the stairway, accompanied by a blood-curdling scream, and the trapdoor slams shut behind you.
You stand in darkness f...

As you make your way along the road, passing between an old apple tree and a freshly-sown potato field guarded by a single scarecrow, you hear a low laugh on the wind. As you slow to seek the source, you watch as seedlings begin to break through the soil, and, behind you, a hundred white flowers bloom on the tree by the road.
The laugh turns dark then, and you watch a shadow spread across the field. The crops begin to wither, their sackcloth sentry begins to unravel, and the apples...

As you cross the heath towards the apiary on the hill, you feel somewhat unsettled, though you can't quite place why.
As you draw nearer, it dawns on you - for all the heather on the heath, you can hear no bees, nor do you see any insects at all.
A figure dressed entirely in white stands at the north end of the property, observing the empty log hives there. As you approach, they turn towards you, wordlessly, their face obscured by a wicker mask, before slowly turning back to...

The map brought you here, and though you know the chest is likely just beneath your feet, you know not what it contains, or what might guard it.
As your shovel bites into the sand, something stirs - a bony hand claws at your ankle from below.
As you attempt to wrestle yourself free of its grasp, you realize it's not alone - skeletons bearing rust-rotted arms begin to clamber to their feet around you.

Across the chasm stands an old gatehouse with a raised drawbridge. Through the swirling fog, you can just about make out the shapes of several guards standing at the battlements. As you approach, you hear a voice call out:
"Who goes there?"

Moss has begun to grow over the stones of the old well, the winch has begun to rust, and the roof that stands over it all seems like it could scarcely withstand a strong breeze, its frame showing the early stages of rot.

An old well, sealed some time ago, draws from an underground stream. Perhaps it was sealed for the simple reason that the water was making people sick? Or perhaps the well is haunted, or it serves as a hiding place for some lost treasure?

In an instant you are elsewhere, standing on an ancient battlefield.
A sea of blood spreads out around you, its surface broken by mounds of corpses, the occasional rock, and a lone island bearing a long-dead tree.
The wind howls with the anguish of the thousands who died here.

A fog drifts across the water's surface, spilling out onto the lakeshore.
You can hear singing in the distance, lost somewhere in the mist - a hauntingly beautiful sound

This one's pretty simple, honestly, and I didn't have a specific encounter in mind for it, so it's effectively a blank canvas for you to work with! Perhaps the lake is haunted by the spirit of a person who drowned there, and they've been dragging fishermen to a watery grave? Or perha...
