What Foundry VTT Version do you use?

Hey everyone! I’m working on expanding my Foundry VTT content and could really use your input. One key decision I need to make is which version of Foundry to focus on as I develop new modules.

So, I’d love to hear from you:

What version of Foundry VTT are you currently using in your games?

Artic Sea | Ice Flows

The frozen sea stretches endlessly, a grinding field of ice floes creaking underfoot, each shift revealing the dark, frigid depths below. Shadows flicker in the mist, and strange sounds echo across the icy expanse. Ancient powers and unseen creatures lurk here, following those brave—or foolish—enough to venture across this desolate tundra. Here, every step is a gamble, where survival depends on ...

Hail Travelers!

As the spooky season comes to an end I am shifting focus to colder climates. To prepare your tables for the winter ahead I am putting together some maps that are on the more desolate and frigid side of things.

Wayfarer — Foundry VTT

Hey Wayfarers, I should have all of your modules to you by the end of the week! Hope to get them into y...

Frozen Den

A vast, hidden chasm suddenly looms before you, nearly invisible until you’re standing at its edge. Scattered with jagged mesas and shrouded in a relentless snowstorm, this treacherous rift stretches deep into the frozen earth. Only the bravest—or most desperate—would dare to descend into its icy depths, for to enter unprepared is to risk vanishing into an unforgiving world of frost and peril....

Slime Lair

Beneath the bustling city streets lies a dank, forgotten world where filth and rot flow unchecked. But just because it’s out of sight doesn’t mean it’s harmless. What monstrous things might lurk in the shadows of this putrid underbelly—or worse, what horrors has it created? The slimes that call this place home wait in the darkness, eager for the foolish or the brave to wander into their slim...

Amberleaf Orchards

Red glints catch your eye from the treetops, scattered among the dappled golden light filtering through green orchard leaves. A cool breeze rustles the branches, prickling your skin with a chill beneath the warm sun. Something stirs under the orchard's tranquil surface—a feeling you can’t quite name, yet one that sets your pulse quickening. The shadows grow, stretching long and dark, urging you ...

The Silkspinner's Lair | Spider Nest

The silky strands of a spider’s web catch you off guard as you brush them from your face, only to walk into another. Frustrated, you clear it away, wondering if no one has come this way in ages. Surely, something—a traveler, an animal, or even the wind—would’ve disturbed the webs draped across the trail by now. But as they grow thicker with each step, a faint unease creeps in. You shake it of...

Duskfield Windmill

Whump, whump, whump. The steady rhythm of the windmill's blades is all you hear. From the hilltop, they’ve turned like this for centuries, a soothing, almost hypnotic sound. Outside, the soft hum is calming, like the world's own lullaby. But inside, the air changes. The gears grind, louder, sharper, filling the space with a harsh, mechanical scream. It feels alive in here—dangerous. As the mundan...

Hail Travelers!

Hope you're all enjoying the cooler weather and the changing leaves as fall settles in! And I hope the first batch of Halloween maps has set the spooky season off on the right foot.

Keep your eyes peeled—it's coming soon!

Family Crypts

Perched on the far edge of the estate, the family crypt houses the remains—and the memories—of generations long gone. While the stone walls below were meant to seal away the past, not everything has stayed buried. Unnatural forces have begun to stir, bubbling up from the depths...

Map Description:

The crypt is a place where shadows cling to worn stone walls, the air thick wit...

Ghost Train

On a night void of warmth and light, the forest holds its breath. Birds and insects fall silent. From within the fog, a low, haunting sound stirs, growing louder and closer with each passing second. It's familiar, rhythmic, and unmistakable.
The ghost train is coming. No—it’s already here. If you can hear it, it’s already too late...

The Traveler's Journey | Lunar Stone Circle

Perched on a windswept bluff, Wanderer’s Journey stirs to life under the full moon. The ancient stone circles, aligned with the phases of the moon, hum with power as runes glow and flicker in the lunar light. Legends tell of a ritual performed here, unlocking forgotten secrets beneath the moon's watchful gaze. Those who dare to walk this path may uncover ancient powers—but only if they survi...

Hail Travelers!

Spooky season is creeping in early this year, and we’re diving headfirst into the shadows! For all you GMs out there, I wanted to get a jumpstart on delivering some truly terrifying maps, giving you plenty of time to prepare for the horror-filled adventures awaiting your players in October. We’ve already unleashed the eerie "Taker's Well" map, and it’s just the ...

Taker's Well

Taker’s Well is a cursed site feared by locals, known for its dark legend. Travelers who toss coins into its depths seeking fortune or favor are said to vanish without a trace, their wishes swallowed along with their fate. Once a simple wishing well, it became infamous after a wealthy merchant disappeared, leaving only his empty cart behind. Some say an ancient spirit, bound to the well, colle...

Adventure Map Pack Library | Trailblazer +

Let’s be honest—prep and planning can be time-consuming. Prewritten adventures are fantastic, but they often include content your party might never encounter and still need some tweaking. What if you had a collection of dynamic adventure prompts that not only inspire great stories for your table but also drive gameplay? Imagine having enough structure to make the game master’s life easy, while still leaving plenty of room for improvisation. This is what I am looking to accomplish with t...

Brigand’s Den

Introduction

For years, a ruthless band of outlaws has preyed on innocent travelers, driven by greed and a sadistic thirst for violence. They target the vulnerable, avoiding well-armed convoys and instead striking terror into common folk and lightly guarded merchants.

Despite efforts to hunt them down, the outlaws always vanish without a trace after their raids, leaving...

Ruined Farm Encampment

The barbarian camp has stood here for quite some time, fiercely guarding their territory. To an unsuspecting wanderer, the camp might seem like a welcoming refuge, but behind its rugged exterior lies a band of brutal, iron-willed warriors who fiercely claim this land as their own. Can you convince them of your peaceful intentions, or will this unexpected encounter spell the end of your journey? The c...

While we all like to see the finished work, sometimes its nice to take a look at the work in progress. This month we will be diving into some maps that are still under construction.

Hail Travelers!

I had an absolutely fantastic week-long vacation with my extended family at the end of the month! It was the perfect dose of much-needed R&R. I even got the chance to play and "impromptu GM" some game sessions, and enjoyed some blissful time in the sun and water with loved ones. I hope you've been able to find some time for fun and relaxation with your friends and family this summer too!

For my table, I ran an incredibly thrilling one-shot that had b...

Safehouse Construction - Part 1

When your team needs to lay low, they head straight to the safehouse—a newly constructed hideout in a nondescript part of town. Here, your players can rest and regroup while the bad guys scour the city streets in search of them. With vantage points from the second floor, a sentry can keep watch over the streets below, giving the team precious time to plan their next move. But stay sharp—it only t...

Cathedral Restoration

During the renovations of an ancient cathedral, a priceless artifact has been unearthed. The bishop, excited yet cautious, has been ordered not to touch it until the higher clergy can verify its authenticity. However, a fierce storm is brewing, expected to rage for a day or more, delaying the clergy's arrival for at least two days. The bishop already suspects that word of the treasure has spread thro...

Alley Construction

Pardon our dust, adventurers! Growth and innovation are forged from the ground up, and this alley brims with untold possibilities. Sometimes, your party stumbles upon opportunity—if they know where to look. Tools can become weapons, lumber can form barriers, and crawl spaces can serve as secret hideouts. It may not look like much now, but with the right player and a dash of imagination, this alley ...

Greetings Traveler,

We continued our exploration of the urban sprawl! Last month we began setting up some of the areas within our bustling metropolis and this month we will continued down that path.

The direction remained the same, creating unique locations within our city for you and your parties to explore. I was aiming to create some more interior locations that are narrower in breadth but deeper in detail. Useful locations and their immediate surroundings.

Urban Tavern — The Broken Barrel Inn

Travelers are always in need of a few drinks, hearty food, and a place to lay their heads at night. The Broken Barrel is renowned for providing all these needs at a fair price. With plenty of room to spread out or find a nice quiet corner away from the central fire, it caters to every adventurer's preference. Chat with the barkeep to get the latest gossip or to learn about some work that needs doing....

Urban Mortuary

Death is big business, and for the city’s largest mortuary, business is booming. While those who grieve say goodbye to their loved ones, the mortuary workers tirelessly prepare bodies for burial or cremation. The bodies enter discreetly through the back, away from prying eyes, while only the elegantly furnished ceremony rooms are open to the public.

Anyone stepping into the mortuary would be ...
