Who are you dear Patron?

As you probably noticed, we wanted to get to know you better and that's why in recent weeks we have been asking you a lot of things by means of surveys. Thank you very much for all the answers! What image of you as Patrons emerges from these answers?

You are mostly the DMs who play DnD 5th edition. Like to play in 2020-04-19 15:57:53 +0000 UTC View Post

What RPG do you play/DM the most?

Hi Patrons! We want to create add-ons (adventures) and we need answers from you - what system should we prepare them for? You can choose several answers.

City Canal

Hi Patrons! This week's map is "City Canal" (a city where the canals play a key role). The players can organize a chase with a boat or hide on a barge. Imagine visiting Venice in times of magic and dragons!

PS This is a bonus map for Tier $3 but remember - if you want more maps you have to 2020-04-16 13:00:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Do you print maps or do you use VTT?

Analog vs digital. We know that many of our patrons print their maps but also many use a digital versions. We want to find out more about how you use our maps!

The Bridge In The Forest [Free]

 

Hi Patrons! This week's map is "The Bridge In The Forest". A seemingly peaceful and safe place. Meanwhile, it may be a place of ambush, meeting with a local criminal or beast. It may also be the final place of defense for the team that escapes from the opponents.

Oasis

Oases are made fertile when sources of fresh water, such as underground rivers or aquifers, irrigate the surface naturally or via man-made wells. 

The presence of water on the surface or underground is necessary and the local or regional management of this essential resource is strategic, but not sufficient to create such areas: continuous human work and know-how (a technical and social culture) are essential to maintain such ecosystems.

The location of oases has been of crit...

Meet Spellarena!

Hello patrons!

First of all we hope everyone is safe and healthy in these special days! Listen to the right sources of information, stay safe, stay health and stay at home if you can!

As you know we are a creative collective - we have discussed our future and direction of development many times during the last year. 

We decided to change the brand from "Printable RPG" to "Spellarena" because the new name better reflects the nature of our activities - w...

Roadside Tavern [Free]

The roadside tavern is where adventures begin and end. Players can rest there, eat something and listen to information from local people. They can also hear the bard's song, read the ad hanging on the wall or get into a fight. The tavern is a place where a lot can happen.

"Roadside Tavern" [30x30]  has 10 map variants (plus grid, no-grid, JPG, PNG and PDF versions, ready for Roll20, Foundry or your favourite VTT platform).

March 2020 (Month Summary)

Hello Patrons! In March, we created four maps and the Siren (paper miniature) for you. We focused mainly on the sea and we are very curious to see how you have succeeded in your adventures using our maps and add-ons (if you have photos, please send to us!)

Another big event was the change of tiers - if you haven't read them yet, we encourage you to do so because in April a lot will change (yo...

Frequently Asked Questions

We receive many questions that are similar to each other - we decided to make a list of them and make it easier for you to search for information in one place called FAQ. If you're reading this and don't find the answer to your query, write a comment below.

Can I download all maps at once?

Unfortunately this is not possible. Patreon allows you to create files up to 200MB size. Our single package with maps is sometimes 150-190 MB.

Where can I get my maps?<...

Siren - Paper Miniature [FREE]

"In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν, Seirḗn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες, Seirênes) were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.

Changing of a tiers (new tiers, new content)

Hi Patrons! We have decided to modify the way we distribute maps - from now on it will be related to the number of maps per tier.

We made this decision after discovering that Patreon allows patrons to limit the amount of money they want to spend per month, but does not block access to the content.

Let us explain it with an example. If a person who chooses the $1 tier and selects the option "I want to support creators only with $1 a month" then such a person in the current version ...

The Kraken Attacks a Ship [FREE]

According to some legends and myths, the Kraken is a legendary cephalopod-like sea monster of gigantic size in Scandinavian folklore. Such a giant sea monster can sometimes come in handy at the end of a campaign.

So we decided to help both players and the DM - this is our version of the Kraken that attacks the ship. Its tentacles submerged in water can be moved freely on the map and the ship itself has three levels of decks.

In addition, we have created a large ocean water texture...

Lighthouse Ruins

There's some amazing magic in lighthouses. Maybe it's a matter of location or climate. Recently we discussed which location is the most iconic for  horror adventure and the lighthouse came first (the second was the cabin in the woods :)

That's why in the night version we added shocking mysterious lights in the ruins - the skilful DM will know what to do with them!

Submerged Temple

We wanted to create a map with light as an important part. And so the idea of a "Submerge Temple" was born. The DM will receive a map with which he can gradually introduce a climate of horror. 

We leave you when the light of the sun appears and when you flood the players with water and make them fight for their lives. Enjoy!

Dragon's Hoard [Free]

For a long time we wanted to create a map related to the classic adventure - the team discovers a cave and there is a dragon hideout, which by the way has hidden a huge treasure in it. What an opportunity to create a scenario based on confrontation of troublemakers with a powerful and very dangerous magical creature. 

Dragon's Hoard is another map, which is the result of your vote. Thank you for your ide...

February 2020 (Month Summary)

 First of all, we welcome many new patrons and thank our existing ones very much for their support - remember that we can only create thanks to you! 

I don't know about you, but we've had a month of meteorite speed. Before we realized we made all the maps, created ideas for the next month and started planning our next DnD sessions!

What can we do better?

Hello, dear patrons! In April, it will be an equal year since we decided to create an account on Patreon and start creating maps and RPG-related additions. Now we're doing a little summary and we want to ask you for help.


During the 11 months we've been experiencing an emotional rollercoaster - from a few patrons and support dollars to a total of 173 supporters. This is a huge success for which we thank you very much! We love you!

Monster Nesting Grounds (Procreate 5 speedpaint)

You often ask how our maps are made - this is the backdrop to the process. As you can see, drawing a map by hand takes time, but it has a very nice effect. And one more thing - you can download this map for free here (thanks to our Patrons!)

Monster Nesting Grounds [Free]

The next map you asked for in the survey. A mythical animal living on top of a holy mountain. The locals say it brings luck, but it also happened many times that gryphon attacked a flock that grazed on the slopes.

The locals also say that there are wonderful treasures and magical objects in the nest of the gryphon. Will your team dare to test this place?
