The Gates of Brazenthrone Remastered

I remade the Gates of Brazenthrone for two reasons. One, there was a  mistake in the annotated version. And two, the more I looked at it, the  more I started to dislike it. So I decided to simplify the background  and make the whole thing vertical (which I don’t normally like to do,  since this is a website and your monitor is horizontal).

Anyway, I hope you like it.  The print versions and the rest of the patron content are below.  A few of the files in ...

Alchemists' Guildhall and Manufactory - Patrons' Edition and DM Notes

Here's the Patrons' Edition, DM notes and other stuff for the latest winner of the Cartographic Congress vote, based on the proposal of Senator Tim.

Again, this map now has Roll20-sized versions included, as will all maps from now on.  If you use Roll20 or another VTT and the Roll20 version works for you (or doesn't), please let me know in the comments!

The Gates of Brazenthrone - Includes VTT maps sized for Roll20!

It's been brought to my attention that I could be making life easier for those of you who use Roll20 and other VTTs, so from now on I'll be releasing versions of my maps sized specifically for Roll20. Since the margins are cropped to fit the tiles, they should work with other VTTs as well (although you may have to size them up or down a bit if yours uses a different standard tile size than 70 pixels).

If you use Roll20, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know if the maps work righ...

Work in Progress – The Gates of Brazenthrone

This is the first four (out of six) floors of the gates of Brazenthrone.  I still need to touch up a few mistakes and color them, as well as get  the other two floors done, but since this map is taking a while longer than usual, I wanted to give everyone a look at what I'm doing.  I'd say this will be finished and online on Tuesday. 

The Grey Huntress - Annotated, Print and DM Notes

Here's all the stuff for the Grey Huntress.  I also made individual files for each of the decks in case that's helpful to anyone.  Everything is collected in the ZIP and PDF files if you want to just download 'em all and let the DM sort 'em out.

Next up is the city gates of Brazenthrone.  It'll be six floors, featuring defensive towers carved into the mountain, several large balconies and war machines including ballistas and trebuchets, so it'll take a bit longer than the...

Brazenthrone Surface Trading Outpost Patrons' Edition and DM Notes

Here's the first part of Brazenthrone!

The next map to go up will be a ship, then the next Brazenthrone map will be the city gates.  At first, I had planned for these to be fairly simple and not the city's main line of defense, but I had a  change of heart.  Brazenthrone is getting some big, impressive, heavily-fortified gates.

As always, the DM notes and print versions are below.  The ZIP and PDF files are collections of everything.

The Century Pelican - Annotated Version and DM Notes

Here's the annotated version of the Century Pelican.  The DM notes and print versions are below.  The PDF and ZIP files both contain the whole collection.

By the way, I'll be out of town for a few days for Christmas, so the next post will probably be around a week from now.  Have a good holiday! 

Print Map Collection

These are the print versions of all my maps in PDF and ZIP form. If you are looking for VTT maps or 1-Inch Grid maps, I recommend downloading the file from those pages. Many of the files here either don't contain those versions or have an older version that I later remade for some reason (usually not because it wa...

The Town of Tortuga - PDF and ZIP of all print versions

As requested, here are all the print versions of Tortuga collected in PDF and ZIP forms.  Both contain the same files.  I'll be doing this in the future for all maps.

Brazenthrone City Layout - Print Versions

Well, here's what she's going to look like. Check out the post about it on the site for some more information.

Print versions are below.

Tortuga Overview - Print Versions

Here are the print versions of the overview map.  And that completes the Town of Tortuga Upon the Great Zaratan Monhatnus.

Tortuga - DM Notes

Here are the DM notes for Tortuga.  I hope they're useful.  It's not exactly "lore," but more of a guide on things to consider when using the map and ways to make it what you need it to be. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! 

Tortuga Upper Levels - Print Versions

Here are the print versions of what is easily one of my least-fascinating maps.  Roofs and a bell tower.  Yay.

Tortuga Fourth Level - Patrons' Edition and Print Versions

Here's the Patrons' Edition for level four.  As you might expect, the maps do get smaller and less interesting as you go upward.  On the other hand, you get four maps in four days.  The last two are coming tomorrow and the day after.

Tortuga Third Level - Patrons' Edition and Print Versions

Here's the Patrons' Edition for the third level of Tortuga.  The fourth level will be up tomorrow, the fifth and sixth on Thursday and an overview map on Friday.  Then we get started on Brazenthrone.

The print versions are attached below.

Tortuga Second Level - Patrons' Edition and Print Versions

Here's the Patrons' Edition of the second level of Tortuga, along with a lovely selection of print versions below.  As before, we've got gridless versions for this one.

Also, just to let you all know, this is taking a bit longer than I expected.  I'll get the third level out by around Tuesday, but the rest might not be finished until Thursday or Friday.  Also, there will be a pretty substantial DM Notes for this.

Tortuga - Patrons' Edition

Here's the first of six levels of the town of Tortuga.  I think I should have the rest done in about a week or so.  There will be DM notes for this map once it's finished.

If you don't know what a zaratan is, check out the post on the website where I explain it a bit.

There are gridded and gridless* versions of this map in the print versio...

This is coming.

This is a work-in-progress picture of the next map.  It wasn't originally going to be quite so big, but somewhere in the planning stage it turned into kind of a semi-megaproject and now I've got six levels planned and... anyway, it'll take a bit longer than usual.  I'll probably have the first level by Wednesday and the rest of it about a week after that.

I love zaratans.

Brazenthrone

The patreon goal has been reached!  Thanks to everyone who threw in!  In return, I'm going to draw you a map that makes Finbarr's Marsh look like a scribble on a cocktail napkin.  Read about it here.

The Old Rampart Inn - Annotated Version and DM Notes

Here's the annotated version of the Old Rampart Inn.  DM notes and the print versions are attached below.

By the way, there's another big map coming in the next week.  Not quite Finbarr's Marsh big, but this should easily take the #2 spot.

Small Town Jail - Annotated and Print Versions

Here's the annotated and print versions of the Small Town Jail.  And can I just throw an idea out there?  End a session with an NPC saying, "Thanks for your help with whatever our problem was, let's go to the tavern and celebrate.  Drinks are on me!"  Then begin the next session with the party waking up in a jail cell.  Run an adventure where they have to escape and find out what the hell happened the night before.  If you're looking for inspiration, watch The Hango...

The 3rd Cartographic Congress Vote

We have four proposals to consider today.  This poll will stay open until Sunday. If there is no clearly dominant winner, there may be a run-off.

Senator MacTorg proposes a roadside inn, featuring stables and other accommodations for travelers on the road.

Senator Guzma proposes a map of post-apocalyptic winter terrain, reminiscent of Frostpunk.

Senator Tim proposes a busy town market and shops, including a fortune teller.

Senator Ryan proposes a city on the back of a gi...

The Crimson Chateau - Annotated Version and DM Notes

Here's the annotated version of the Crimson Chateau.  The DM notes, along with the print versions, are attached below.

Which version do you like better?

I really want to know which version of The Source of the Lifespring you all like better, the one with dim colors or bright colors?

The Source of the Lifespring - DM Notes and Print Versions

Here's the DM notes and print versions of The Source of the Lifespring.

The Collected Finbarr's Marsh in PDF

At a patron's request, I'm uploading the print versions of Finbarr's Marsh in two PDF files, both containing every level of the city, top to bottom.  One contains the print versions with titles removed.  The other contains the print versions of the Patrons' Edition annotated maps.

I'll be doing this in the future for all larger maps.

A Patrons' Guide to Finbarr's Marsh - The Crypts

This is admittedly not a super-exciting annotated edition, but the reason is that, for 1-4, the rooms are all just full of either dead people, the ashes of dead people, the belongings of dead people, or memorials to dead people.  Of course, they don't have to be, but that's up to you if you prefer your dead people a little more lively or talkative than normal.

5 and 6 are a little different.  6 is just a series of underwater tunnels and caverns connecting a few rooms in the sewers, g...

Finbarr's Marsh - Sewers Annotated and Print Version

Here's the annotated and print versions of the sewers of Finbarr's Marsh.  One more map to go!

A Patrons' Guide to Finbarr's Marsh - Underground

A Patrons' Guide to Finbarr's Marsh - Upper Levels

Here's the last of the upper levels!

The patron content is attached as well.
