This wizard tower was a little experiment working from a piece of concept art as my reference as a way of figuring out a dynamic design for a winding tower that the players would be able to explore. I am putting together a little video on this experiment so you can see how I mapped it out in my mind and how I turn it into a city scape pretty easily using the prefab system that I will be putting this tower into very soon.

Hello one and all!
Just finished my first set of 20 tokens for the past 2 months (will be posting a second batch in the current link very soon). This set contains some of the most voted for tokens in the NOLT (dragonborn, tieflings and commoners). Most of them come in 5 color variations, the dragonborn all come in 6!

UPDATE 3!
Another important part of my asset update was to include lots of tools to tear down the buildings you create. "Flower Town", named because it actually can be placed right underneath the Flower Castle map, was my showcase map to tear down 10 out of 14 buildings I had released in my previous pack. The town is available in both ruined and normal versions (with roofs and without) at night and day.

UPDATE 2!
The big goal of my building pack was always to have all the tools to build castle content. I had originally split it up in minor little theme packs (tavern, armory, smithy, alchemist lab) that would eventually combine into all the assets needed to build a castle.
Now with all the broken parts I had to deal with in my big update I found that fixing them one by one was a lot easier by actually doing some castle design to fix each separate issue and that's ...

Hello, all you fine folks!
It's been a wild ride this past month to finish up my latest Building update, and for those of you who'd like to get some behind the scenes I'll get to it later in this update, but first let's talk about what is new in the update I've been working on for the past 2 months and what is still in the works to release in the next couple of weeks!

Hello all you fine folks!
Here is a quick status update of all the content I've been working on in April, it's a pretty massive update like last time so I'm basically splitting up the content over two months to build everything. The last map I did was basically my test of the basic building assets, mainly doing homes. This asset update will feature my Laboratory assets (lower right corner), my broken/ruined assets, additional roofs, castle assets and dungeon assets.

The Battlemap featured with this latest release is my massive Village on the Lake, which has 4 versions (Night and Day, and Roofs and Interior). It is the first in my series of village/city maps that I'm working on now that the Building Pack has been released.
10$+ Patrons will also find that the save files for this map are available on the website, so you'll be able to adjust any of the buildings used in this map on the fly or switch out the terrain for anything else you need for...

Over the past couple of years I've been working to find all ways to implement user feedback into what I'll be working on next. Using polls on Patreon and channels on Discord to help users make suggestions. Recently however I've decided to update all of these outdated ways of gathering this info and build a nice creation board using nolt (special thanks to AvgDan for introducing the idea)

Hey one and all!
Part two of my content dump is all the tokens and their color variations! For now what I've been working on is to make color variations a lot more interesting. I divided all my coloring for these up into solids that can easily be changed on the fly with a single shadow layer to make it workable.
I might release the PSD files of these as well (to my higher tiered patrons) so that you can tweak these colors yourself. For now it's a way to make it a more dynami...

Hello, one and all!
First of all, happy holidays! I decided to run a short update on everything in the Crosshead pipeline and announce the winner of the map-making contest!
Due to a small error in my setting up the poll, it seemed people outside of patron were also able to vote. Now since not everyone was aware of this, it seemed most fair to just filter out all outside votes (something I will make sure is fixed in the next mapmaking contest) and count patron-only votes.

Hello one and all!
For the past couple of months, I've been slowly expanding the team here at Crosshead, including artists to help me with tokens and items, so that I could work my way to publishing adventures that feature all my concept work as I had always planned for in the past (creating one-page adventures was the first step). Finally, with the help of writers Pim Ottenhof and Oz Mills (who's done work for the Dragon Age RPG books and Fallout RPG books), I was able to kickstart my ...

I've been hard at work to set up a steady release of Animated Tokens for the Gold Dragon Tier and the way things are looking now I should be able to update this series every month with 12 new animations. This first batch features the new Spine Animated version of my tokens, at 30 FPS instead of the original 10FPS. Looking smoother than ever! To celebrate I plan on releasing an additional 12 by the end of this month!

One final announcement for today!
I've teamed up with a fine app developer called Tomorrow Thoughts who have developed a neat little app to mirror maps from your phone to your TV or any screen you use to display your maps. I plan on playing around with it myself now my maps are on there, and if you're interested you should check it out as well!

Why not!

So as I'm often running two themes at the same time now (One for me and one for my partner), which seems to be working a lot more smoothly. I would love to have one theme based on our contest and one based on votes of what I will be working on next.

This theme might also be used to draw out some tokens, and other art!

Hello, one and all!
For a long time now I've been wanting to expand my gallery of user-made Battlemaps on the website. The original reward I had set out for this was to get access to some bonus content for anyone who made a submission, the only issue being I was starting my team projects and had little time to get to updating it.
Now that the Team project has started to run a bit more smoothly, however, I'd love to return to this project with a much better prize for submissions!
