Cold Iron Mines - Hero Tier

The Cold Iron Mines are found deep in the heart of the Dwarven Kingdom. They staunchly guard over it, as it is one of the only sources of the rare metal. Aye, it is just like they say, the mine is cold, and the ore is even colder. It takes a keen eye, and a trained hand to harvest the raw ore from the caves. Only the finest forgers are employed, it takes them days on end to craft just one cold iron piece. They say the greatest weapons against evil and chaos are dwarven crafted, and this w...

Gothic Mansion Game

How many different items can you find on the map? There are jack-o-lanterns placed throughout the mansion. Colored candies are strewn about the rooms. But watch out for the spiders, they are hiding everywhere! Have Fun

World Tree - October 2023

The mythical World Tree, the connection between the mortal dimension and the divine. A massive life force that transcends the bounds of reality to represent life and its bonds throughout the cosmos. To gaze upon the World Tree’s beauty is to see creation itself. Only the chosen, a privileged few, are granted entrance by the deities. The keys to both enlightenment and madness, good and evil, life and death can be found within. The treasures of the gods are kept therein as well, it is bey...

Wow, only two more themes for the year. I wonder which ones they will be. Help me out, choose the theme that you want to see done next. We have a nice variety, from outdoor scenes to underground mines, a few different cityscapes and a planar temple. All of the concepts have come from this creative community. As usual, everyone gets one vote, with Champions', Masters', and Legends' votes counting as multiples.

Industrial District - September 2023

The gritty inner city is comprised of the Industrial District. An overcrowded area, filled with wagons and porters. Smokestacks line the horizon whilst dingy brick and worn wood buildings make up the façade. There are smiths and millers, carpenters, and smelters. The sounds of boilers and the chopping of wood fill the air, there are calls and shouts, it is best to watch your step. You can find a crafter of any trade in the industrial district, there are even some tinkerers and inventors if y...

It is time again to help me choose the next map theme. It is so inspiring to have all of the choices come from Patrons.

WayWard Islands - August 2023

The Wayward Islands, lost somewhere in the Forlorn Sea. A haven for pirates and treasure hunters alike. They say there is an island coiled like a snake, with a hideout at its head. There are sea shanties about an island littered with booty, where the palms grow gems instead of coconuts. A hidden paradise in the middle of the ocean. The bards say that only the most steadfast sailors ever reach the site, but I have yet to meet one that can attest to its location. The Wayward Islands are a j...

Country Forest Haven - July 2023

Nestled at the foot of the rolling green hills, on the edge of the forest between the gnome kingdom of Feneras and the human kingdom of Cronsit, sits a country forest haven. Some call it the “ol’ holler,” and others call it home. A pure stream flows between the small community of log cabins. A water wheel works the sawmill, and the hills are sprinkled with windmills.

The Country Forest Haven is a scenario set of a small settlement in the wilderness. The base set includes four batt...

Poll Results for August 2023

The community has spoken in another great poll. We had tie, but it was for third place. The clear cut winner, with 29% of Patrons voting for it, a total of 25 counted votes, is the Tropical Island Chain. This has been a choice for awhile, and now its time to make it come to life. I foresee several tropical islands, that can all be fit together in a large mega map. I will strive to give each island its own unique flavor. The main island will have an indigenous style village.
