Desert Caravanserai

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the Desert Caravanserai! Now what is a Caravanserai I hear you ask? They're roadside inns where weary travellers can properly rest up for a night or two before carrying on their treks through the desert.

In an RPG setting, an idea for this scene might be somewhere for your pa...

Alchemy Dungeon

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the Alchemy Dungeon! The original map was based around the idea of an underground laboratory of an Alchemist or Wizard concocting their strange experiments deep below the ground.

Why not try and hint to your players that climbing into one of the boiling tubes is a great idea? Who knows what magic they'll become imbued with...

Tutelary Turtle Island

Hey everyone!

When we created this map, we imagined the location to be a fey-imbued floating chapel. Perhaps star crossed lovers would travel here for a moonlit wedding away from prying eyes.

Our turtle friend here will slowly travel the waterways of the world guided purely by its sense of where it's needed most. Over the many centuries of diving, navigating storms and rough seas, most of the chapel has collapsed, but the altar still stands for those ill-fated lovers who are in ne...

Lair of the Elder Brain

Hi everyone!

This is our next BBEG Scene. We hope you feel suitably intimidated within the Lair of the Elder Brain!

This was also our first ever Boss Map almost 5 years ago now back in 2019. The theme being a mysterious and ancient lair deep within the Underdark. The Brain itself plotting destruction from within this giant hollowed skull whilst feasting on minds offered by its minions.

Czepeku are Ennie Award Nominated!

Hey everyone!

We've been nominated for Fan Favourite Publisher at this year's ENNIE Awards!

The voting ends tomorrow (21st July). We'd absolutely love your support!

If you don't already know, the ENNIES are a fan-based celebration of excellence in tabletop roleplaying games. We actually won the Best Cartography category back in 2022 which we're incredib...

Windmill Farm

Hi everyone!

We're fairly sure that both the Windmill Farm map and scene could fit into almost any campaign!

This idyllic windmill with a pastoral landscape, complete with crops and animals to keep the farm up and running. Hopefully your party enjoy a few nights here or perhaps they could even spend a summer here. Farms always need able bodies and capable fighters to fend off those pesk...

Beach Town

Welcome back to this pleasant little beach town. The Beach Town map was inspired by several real world locations. When we created the scene, we wanted to provide GM's with several potential options with ways to include this in their games.

We wanted to give them options leading out towards sea by showing the coastline, but also perhaps this could set the scene for a shady deal hiding down below ...

Japanese Castle

This scene has been heavily requested ever since we released the Japanese Castle Map! Hopefully this will give your players the majestic approach that the castle deserves.

I'm sure it won't be long until they're defending it from waves of samurai or oni!

Please enjoy and keep your daimyo safe from all those pesky ninja.

Flooded Fey Ruins

Hi everyone!

For scenes this week we return to the serene, green ruins for your players to explore.

We hope you all enjoy investigating strange statues, flooded walkways, mysterious trees and more. Aaaand try not to get dragged into the depths by nefarious spirits, or the giant Crab Queen.

Enjoy!

Forbidden Gates

Hey everyone!

The Forbidden Gates battlemap was originally designed to accompany our Mountaintop Observatory battlemap. We wanted to give the same feeling with our scene. Our plan was to give a scale of the monstrous gates, but then in the background just give a hint of the majestic mount...

Archaeological Dig

Hey everyone :)

This has been a highly requested scene for quite some time now! The long buried ruins of a fight to the death with this monstrous dragon. We wanted to make the dragon a little more magical and vivid than a normal fossilised skeleton. In the sunlight you'll see glittering shimmering shards emanating from every bone. Perhaps there's still magic to be harnessed here?

Enjoy!

Peaceful Village Church

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the Peaceful Village Church! This flint roundtower church is inspired by a very similar building in Cze's hometown. We like to think that this will fit quite easily into any fantasy setting!

We're really enjoying creating these cosy interior scenes too and we have plenty more to come over the next few months!

We'll have a new Scenes poll up soon, so here's your final chance to get your suggestions into the 'Scenes Suggestions' channel in the Discord!<...

Beachside Bazaar

Hey everyone, welcome to the Beachside Bazaar! 

Back when we designed the Beachside Bazaar map, Peku's original idea was that the Kuo-Toa lived here a long long time ago and built giant fish statues here to their deities. Some unknown event forced them out of the region and soon traders came to settle in this peaceful beachside valley. The Kuo-Toa temples ages and crumpled and were soon re...

Dragon's Hoard

Hi everyone :)

We created a scene for a classic fantasy staple this month. This of course is the Dragon's Hoard! Now, you just need to decide which one of your party is going to head in first to check there's no slumbering dragon waiting for you!

Good luck with those treasure hungry players too, they're about to get everything they could ever hope for. Perhaps you could even treat them to a ...

Village Bakery

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the Village Bakery, this is where you can get all your delicious baguettes, buns and a selection of delicate pastries.  Just inhale the aroma of that fresh crusty bloomer on the counter!

We're really pleased that we have a nice amount of 'Starter Village' scenes building up now for you all. We may even have one more before the end of May! We can't wait to hear how you fit the Cat Cafe into your stories!

As always, the music in the preview is fro...

Rebel Camp

Hi everyone!

When we created the Rebel Camp battlemap, we thought of the layout as a last stand of rebels trying to defend their territory. With the scene we wanted to give a nice approach to the palisade walls and watchtowers.

We thought this could also be used as a bandit camp, village entrance, or small military base. We've included some normal camp variations too which we hope you'll find u...

War Room Interior

This has been a highly requested scene for a while! The War Room is a place for generals to plan their battles and strategies. Or of course it could be a place for meddling adventurers to disturb planning sessions and potentially change the course of history!

We angled the view of this scene directly from the perspective of someone sitting at the planning table as we thought...

Colossus Port

Hey everyone!

The azure ocean reaches its end once it meets the Colossus Port. Visible from miles around, this monumental statue watches over the coastline to guide home friends, and ward away enemies.

This original map was loosely based on the Colossus of Rhodes. One of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient Worl...

Motte and Bailey Castle

Hi everyone!

The map was requested for many years, and since we released it, it's also been a highly requested scene! As with the map, we wanted to be sure that we included lots of life to the scene with resident heron's, ducks and willow trees swaying in the wind.

You could either set this scene up as a potential raid on this medieval village, your players could visit for a shopping spree with the village traders, or perhaps you could even use it as a home base option!

The ...

Train Station Approach

Hi everyone!

This scene has been fun to put together! We've made several train focused battlemaps like Train Station Concourse and Train Station Platforms but we thought it would be great if we could create a scene to introduce people to the hustle and bustle of the train statio...

Fey Tavern

Hi everyone!

We had a lot of requests for more Tavern Scenes and more Fey Scenes! So here's one to tick both of those options for you!

Will you shrink your players down to meet tiny folks within a tree trunk? Or is this a normal sized tavern deep within the feywilds? Either way, we're sure the bartender will be happy to make you a tasty cocktail!

The song in the preview is 'Dreams of Cinna...
