The Cursed Pyramid

Hello Patrons! Good news: we've created one more free map for you this month. As you have rated the "Arabian Castle" map very well, we also wanted to do something about the desert. What could be more iconic and desert related than the pyramid? 

In addition, a cursed pyramid with an ancient ghost defended treasure? So we created a camp next to the pyramid and then its subsequent levels ready to be explore...

Wyrm Under Ice

We've been thinking about this map "Wyrm Under Ice" for a long time - winter, frost, I've deserted the battlefield and a dead, giant monster under the ice. What is this beast? Which side was it on? How did it die? Are you sure she's dead? What powers did he have and what knocked her down? From this simple picture you can create many cool adventures. We hope you'll have as much fun as we did while creating this map!

Should we organize a contest?

Hello everyone! We would like to thank you for supporting us and organizing a contest once a month. First rule - only patrons will be able to participate in the contest. Second - the competition will be simple and the prizes will be small (for example the equivalent of $15-$20).

Arabian Castle

Hi Patrons! We have a new map this week: as you have decided in this vote, one of the maps we have created this month is the Arab Castle. It is a beautiful building surrounded by a wall and well guarded. The interiors are wonderfully decorated and there are frescos on the walls. Numerous expensive sculptures and many precious gemstones enriches the rooms for the ruler of this land. When dusk falls, lamps illuminate...

Radiant Waterfall

Hi everyone! This map is unique in many ways - we wanted to escape from reality, problems, and standard associations. We were wondering what adventure, team, and beautiful, great story we associate with. Everybody thought the same thing - J.R.R. Tolkien! With this map we pay homage to the great writer who conjured up a wonderful and beautiful world. Rest in peace, Professor!

The Menhir [Free]

Hello everyone! This week's map is the menhir: standing stone, orthostat, or lith is a large man-made upright stone, typically dating from the European middle Bronze Age. They can be found solely as monoliths, or as part of a group of similar stones. Menhirs' size can vary considerably, but they are generally uneven and squared, often tapering towards the top.  

Almost nothing is known of the social organization or religious beliefs of the people who erected the menhirs. There is n...
