Poll Results - July 2023

It was a really close one this time. We had a so many Patrons vote, what a great community. On the surface it appeared to be a four-way tie; but after going in to tally the votes, there was a clear winner. It was a tough count, some split their votes while others put all their eggs in one basket. So fun to finally find out that the Country Forest Haven is the winner. It has been on the list for some time, and it has been campaigned for on Discord. It won out by a three votes,...

World Wonders - June 2023

There are only a few wonders of the world. True wonders, places of ancient magic and power untold. These are not your average sites, oh sure there are many magnificent statues and epic bridges. Beautiful and grand to behold. And yes, there are indeed several awe-inspiring natural places of marvel out there. But these pale in comparison to the lost Wonders of the World that I speak of. These places were not crafted to spark joy and give inspiration, they were made by the ancients as dedica...

Druid Circles of the World - May 2023

The illusive druids of the world are the keepers of nature, the followers of the seasons, and like  everything else, they are a part of the great circle of life. They eat, breathe, sleep, live and die by  natures’ hand. They are the ones that feel the connection to the Mortal World itself. Few know of  the druid's full range. And even fewer know where their secret circles are located. These sacred  sites are attuned to the fabric of the plane itself. They exude prima...

200 Member MileStone and Poll Results

This month we have a solid 200 Member Community! I wanted to take the time to personally say Thank-You to all the Patrons that have been on this journey with me. Without you, none of this is possible. It has been well over two years now and many of you have been with me since the beginnings. I appreciate all the guidance and technical help you all provide. When I started, I barely even knew how to upload a map, and you all were patient and stuck with me, showing me the little...

Choose the Next Map Theme

The next month is quickly approaching, and that means its time for another poll. This set of choices have been inspired by some ideas from fellow Patrons. There are some new outdoor, open spaced scenes. I have had a number of inquiries for more puzzle dungeons, and even my own players have been thoroughly enjoying them. I am always curious to see what next. This poll will run for the next week, and will be announced about a week after that (time in between for the new theme to launch).

UnderCity - March 2023

The southern rolling hills are home to the remarkable earth sheltered mini homes of the gnomes. Their unique houses and sprawling farmlands surround a city built for commerce with larger races. But that is only the tip of the iceberg; Below the surface is a unique subterranean complex that is a world unto itself. The UnderCity, as locals call it, is a labyrinth of tunnels and caverns connected by twisting corridors that make up a city-like complex. There are more workshops, private residences...

Choose the Map Theme for April 2023

This last month has gone so fast, I can hardly believe it is time to have another poll. To top it off, it looks like we have well over 200 solid members! With that milestone hit, I will be making an extra maps! To best incorporate this, I should probably make a huge scenario set that all fits together. Or, I could just make the 4 Druid Enclaves maps along with a separate scenario set. What does everyone think? Below is a list of themes that can be used and expanded upon. There is a mix of uni...

Scourge of the Sea - Ocean Floor Extras!

The Scourge of the Sea scenario set would not be complete without some open ocean floor maps to use for Random Encounters. I made three extra maps for such a purpose. There are also corresponding alternates. (Admittedly, Ocean Floor 1 is the same background as the Submersibles, but this makes it useable as a map on its own). Hope these help fill in those adventure gaps. GM Tip. Looking for a bigger underwater scene? These HD maps can easily be doubled in size and used effectively for a sprawl...

Scourge of the Sea - February 2023

The tale of the sea beast has been around for centuries. We have all heard of the ships that have been snapped in half by tentacles, dragged into the depths by an unseen behemoth. It is even worse if you live beneath the waves. The sea elves of Wavalin live their lives in the shadow of the monstrosity. Once, their kingdom was vast, a peaceful realm where all sea elves could prosper and swim free. An age ago, the gigantic beast moved into the area, destroying the outlying villages and underwat...
