Crumbling Tower - Example Page

“A tower so dangerous, so hazardous that even the hermit that lived there fled in the night. Oh, but he was no ordinary recluse. Banished to the edge of the kingdom as a mad scientist. The inventor was also a caster of forbidden magic. A malign crafter. Luckily, all his wares are now gone, lost to time. But the tower still stands, battered buy the elements, one storm away from falling. Who knows what has been left behind, but make no mistake, it is a accident waiting to happen.” -Corneliu...

Choose the Theme for November 2025

As we enter into the later part of 2025, there are still so many choices, all from members of the community. We have some old favorites that all nearly made it previously. It may not run the normal span of Indoor, Outdoor, Mega Structure, Cityscape, and Extraplanar, but there is a nice array. Excited to see which one finally gets the approval. If you have an idea for a theme you want to see on the poll, let me know in the comments below (or on Discord). Always great to have input from the Gam...

Witch Wood - Example Page

Secluded at the far edge of the swamp, it is an overgrown dark forest. The trees are gnarled and twisted together; there are thorny vines and bramble bushes too thick to surpass. The shadowy wood is unsettling during the day, but at night, the wolves howl like mad. There are trails fit enough for wagons, but most avoid the route. The children tell tales about the wicked witch of the forest. They say the wolves are her pets, and that she can appear as a lovely damsel. But those are just th...

UnderWorld Refuge - Example Page

The UnderWorld Refuge is a sanctuary that saved hundreds. It is a refuge, built to survive an apocalypse. It is an impenetrable vault built into the solid rock foundation of a mountain. And though there are many vaults, built by many different kingships, this one is quite unique. The Underworld refuge opens up to a vast cavern complex filled with thriving flora and fauna. There is a freshwater river fed by a waterfall, teaming with fish. Just when all hope was gone, and everyone thought i...

Choose the Theme for August 2025

Is everyone ready to choose the next theme? This poll comes a little late (my apologies), but it is just as important as the others. We still have so many great ideas; all request from the community! They range from indoor to outdoor, action scenes multi-genre, and even extraplanar. It is always exciting to see what theme other Game Masters' use in their games.

Noble District - June 2025

The high-class society live it up in the Noble District. The striking architecture of lordly manors surround a well-kept park. At the head of the park is City Hall in all its grandeur. There are posh shops, themed cafes, five-star restaurants, fine suite and more. The crown jewel of the district is the Gala Building, an opulent venue that hosts events for the local lords and ladies. They say that the Noble District has the safest blocks in the city, patrolled heavily by guards, they even ...

Test - Tattered Battlefield in 6K

This is a render of the map in 6K [80x60] (foundry: grid 8000x6000 / 100px). It should look a bit better than the original. Previously I was unable to render maps at this resolution (without crashing my PC). Let me know what you all think. Is it worth it (takes awhile longer, but not too bad, like 5 min vs 1 min)?

Shifting Maze - June 2025

In a remote location forgotten by time, the shifting maze waits to be solved. Fashioned in the shape of a step temple, it is more than a labyrinth. It is a puzzle, filled with traps and treasures. Conceived and commissioned by the ancient elf Chief Sumana, it is a vault to hold his most valuable treasures. He issued as a challenge upon his death, “Only the worthy may claim the treasure.” But none that have entered have ever exited. It has a reputation for tempting explorers and adventurer...
