New Adventure Content Teaser

Hey everyone!

Exciting news. Going forward, we're going to be including full-length adventure content in our monthly production cycle — this type of content will be released on top of all of our NPC, encounter, and dungeon content and will be made freely available to patrons at the Fable tier and above.

These adventures will include maps, art, and full PDF layout. Coming in September/early October is "Dread in Whitchurch" - a cult mystery adventure for 7th to 9t...

Carnival

Is your party in between adventures?  Have they made poor choices with their gold?  Maybe the carnival is for them!  If you have strange talents, gold can be yours at the roaming carnival.  Whether it is run by minstrels in town purely to entertain, a Rakdos troupe spreading their chaos, or a cult headed by a hag trying to build her following, the carnival always has room.

Hey everyone, slow month last month, hoping to make up for that in September. The Carnvial, voted last month, will be our first release. Meanwhile, vote on our next releases for this month. Top 2 get made.

Military Checkpoint

If you get assigned to this station, you know you are being punished for something.  Between the unnatural rolling fog that can appear and disappear within a blink and the rumours of an orc warband moving closer, the guards stationed here are always alert, living in a constant state of stress and fear.

(Free) Growth of the Twilight Court - Full color map and dungeon adventure

Hey folks, one of this month's dungeons is being released free for everyone, partly to make up for the fact that we are publishing one less map this month (we're taking a small vacation). 

Hope you like it!

Background

Weeks ago, an expansionary mining expedition stumbled upon a network of caves lit with mysterious blue light and filled with the echoing sounds of impish laughter. Knowing better than to push their luck, they hired a group of adventure...

Seaside Gallows

Just like the Swamp Village, this is a map we made over half a year ago.  It is one we have been excited about for a while and it is finally released!

Although it has some similarities, you can really see how the style of our maps have evolved.  I really loved how the shadows turned out on this one.

August Map Poll

We got some fresh ideas in the poll this month along with some higher voted ones that didn't get done from that past and some ideas from the discord.

Swamp Village

We have been excited about this one for a while.  This map was actually made over half a year ago for another project and now we can finally release it here!  Although this map is older, it is still one of our personal favourites to date.

There will be some more of these older maps coming out over time now that we can release them and there are some goodies in there to look forward too!

Amphitheatre

A nice, peaceful amphitheatre in a park where your party can go to enjoy an impromptu show put on by the Rakdos Guild or listen to the mad man that preaches certain doom.

The NPC art was done by our dear friend Gerardo Guttierrez — you can find him on instagram @gerardo.social. He takes commissions.

City Battlements

Even though a siege battle would probably be difficult to run in game, I have always thought it would be fun, and have wanted to do a siege-battle map for some time.  When I saw that the City Battlements option was won the poll, I knew I had to give it a go.

It could be an interesting start to a campaign, your party starting in the top of a moving siege tower, their first taste of combat a battle for the walls.

Along with the $2 variant we also included siege tower and ram as...

Castle Courtyard

A small castle with a courtyard that has the potential for a variety of hooks.  

Maybe the party has to recover a very specific ledger kept in the Arbiters personal library.  

Perhaps the corrupt Baron has called the entire town to listen to him speak from his balcony.  While all eyes are on him, other plans are put into motion in town.  

You could even take some inspiration from a certain book/tv show, setting up an ambush in the feasting hall.  The...

Wasteland Chasm (Mournland)

This arid wasteland chasm has an additional arcane variant at each tier to spice up a seemingly "normal" location.

The jagged rocks along the sides are perfect for your barbarian to impale things against whether they are fighting behirs or bandits.

Dockside Warehouse

With "Building on fire" just edging out the win on the poll we decided to try our hands at a warehouse fire!

At the Rumor tier we have the base map along with the fire variant.  Included there are also a handful of fire assets you can throw on the map when you want the fire to spread and trap your players.  At the Tall Tale tier we have have a propless edition of the map and at both tiers we also have map variants that are just the warehouse, no docks, so you can be a little m...

Demiplane Farmhouse (free)

Hey folks,

Here is a free map for everyone that accompanies the Fable Tier dungeon we just released, The Angrave Farmhouse.

When you enter this seemingly ordinary farmhouse you can quickly guess something is wrong.  Perhaps it is the kitchen that tips you off, the dimensions of the room and the dimensions of the objects all doubling in size as you enter.  Or maybe it is the flock of ravens, sitting patiently on the fire place mantle, eyeing you with intent.

Collapsed Mine Tunnel

The adventure we are currently working on for the 100 Patron goal is under way and is looking to include four battle maps.  Two of those we plan on releasing before hand and this is one of them! 

The version of this map that we will see in the adventure is going to have the water replaced with something else that will hopefully make your players think carefully before making their next move.

"Thank You", New Tiers

A couple weeks into April, Ben and I had been talking about how excited we were about approaching the 100 patron milestone, and what we should do when we hit it. I think we were sitting at around 80-90 patrons at the time. Up until that point, since we started the patreon, we had been growing by 6-8 patrons per month, and had expected to not hit 100 patrons for maybe a few more weeks. We hit 100 patrons in the next two days after our latest release and then we left that milestone in the dust....

New Tiers On The Way. Help us decide?

Hey folks, 


Hope everyone is doing well. We're looking at introducing some tiers either next week or the week after, and we have some ideas in mind, but we want your input. What are you looking for in additional tiers? What are you looking for across current tiers? 


We plan to introduce a new monthly poll (and a discord server) so that patrons will be able to vote on maps/dungeons/encounters at the beginning of each month, so we'll work that into cu...
