Hello one and all!
For the past couple of weeks I've been on the road. What originally was going to be a trip, I planned to combine with work for both my Patreon and Kickstarter ended up in a bit of a sizzle as my old laptop gave up on me a couple days in. This meant I wasn't able to get my Kickstarter finished in due time and that my maps for last month and preparations for getting into this one fell into the water.
Now, these are my troubles and my troubles alone, that's w...

Hey folks!
So for some time now I've been working really hard to try and get started on building my own webtools for TTRPG DM's and GM's. A year and a half ago I began building a rather complex mapbuilder with two web-developers, but because of their lack of spare time and the scale of the project, progress on it was so slow that a year later there was hardly anything in the works to speak of. Looking for help on a smaller project elsewhere, I found a developer who helped me bring the f...

First map of my User Requested Battlemaps is this Simple Trail Encounter map with a clearing for a camp. What I love about this one is that it feels like a throwback to one of my first maps for Patreon. Very simple map, you can use it with or without the camp for any trail encounter. You can find it up in the Supreme Back Catalogue as we speak!
Next it seems like I'll be doing a shack in the swamp!
I'll check every time I finish a map and pick the next most upvoted comm...

Hello one and all!
This month I've got a lot going on in regards to building a foundation of what I've been aiming to create for so long: web-tools for DMs. A big push to really get all the support I need for creating something big in a shorter term. I'll talk more about that later...
As a result of this activity, I'll be a bit lower on creative juices than usual and I had thought to harvest my ideas for this month's batch of maps from you all directly. The goal of this exercise i...

Following up on my Throne Room map, I wanted to build an epic gateway that came before it. The alternative map I had for this entrance was one with a lot more smaller hallways, but I enjoyed bringing some scale to my map like in the previous one and decided to go big once more.
Depending on the Kickstarter I have planned for October-November, I might think of a new approach on presenting battlemaps. Something I'll get into more once we get there, but let's say for now that I am re...

Hello Folks!
It's been a while since I've last posted, as I've been super busy preparing the launch of a digital platform for DnD related content. Something I'll be sharing some previews of very soon. What originally was going to be a platform launched for creating maps (integrating some of the concepts of the Fragmented Map stuff), was put on hold because of the scale of the project and the limited time my programmers had, and so I've decided to launch something smaller first. Whic...

So I've had a lot of fun with the Fantastical theme and would love to continue building that set some more if you are all up for it. Now that I've gotten the basics down I'll be able to pump out more maps in this style than I was able to last month. However if you are up for something new, I'm also open to exploring a Demonic theme, that focuses on islands surrounded by lava in a similar fashion as these surrounded by clouds. The design would be very different (a new series) so that mea...

In the last poll I did here on Patreon (with the Council), it was decided I would try some new types of maps based on a theme of Planar / Feywild ( also jungle) style maps. When doing research to figure out how I was going to translate that I decided to try and create a combined style that would feature all of the above instead of just nitpicking and going on with the theme I had picked up for a while (the Fragmented style).
The result are these floating island designs that allow ...

So I've been working on this design for a set of "Planar" / "Feywild" jungle theme inspired type maps. The idea I'm going for is this chain of floating islands, surrounded by a purple mist. Now for this first set I'm going green / with jungle elements but what I wanted to go for with this series in the long run is a set of unique locals / elemental places that create a varied chain of islands.
Maybe walking across a bridge here takes you into the mist and where you end up is eithe...

For this month I'd like to get into those "Mystical Maps" for Feywilds / Planar or Jungle Maps that people had been asking for or I could continue working on village tiles like the ones I've provided so far, that will focus on bigger buildings (spanning multiple tiles). I could also make some more Dungeon Tiles if you'd prefer that instead!

I just updated both Back Catalogues to include all the maps I made last month + Virtual Tabletop versions of said maps for ease of use. I also added a set of Road maps and Forest + Road maps for to the Supreme Back Catalogue that can be used in combination with the house tiles for villages to create new maps on the fly, as shown in the example above. Or even create your own maps using the PNG's provided in the ITEMS folders. These road maps can as always be u...

Been working hard on a set of village map tiles that include layered buildings (meaning you can strip off each level to look inside), which I had planned on finishing today and uploading for the Dungeon Masters & Lords, but I had a small setback so it'll be a bit later than expected. I wanted to upload a preview of four of the tiles however to give you an idea of what is coming. As you can see the map above consists out of four tiles you can use as a set to put together a village road, bu...

So for the next month there are again a bunch of options to pursue, and I waited before I could post the design of my Camp Vengeance to talk about some of the options I would love to pursue myself. Including: Building the base for a town / village with buildings you can open up and building you can just use for style. (Think fighting in the streets / fighting on roof tops etc.).
The Other Options could also include building a Keep - Homebase (looking a bit into modular Keep buildi...

RELEASE NOTE - JUNE
The package I have been making for June, a design for a multi-purpose palisade / wooden walls pack with towers and a gate, took me a bit longer than I had planned to finalize. The design of these tiles makes it possible for the user to create anything from a small fortified position like a Camp Vengeance (which was my inspiration for the release of this pack as it is the ideal setup for a massive scale camp (by simply re-purposing the tent tiles) ) to a town with a w...

Including stuff like background colors, types of attacks, etc. and even a couple of design choices for the layout itself.

So next up I'm doing "connection tiles" as i think most users would like a combination of structures and roads to connect them. Now it is up to you to decided where we'll start on that front. There are a couple of options and depending on your votes here, I'll do a combination of a couple or focus on one specific type for a while.
So either you get quantity for creating a long pathway of a single set or several sets and combinations that can be repeated into infinitude. In order to make...

Fragmented Outdoors. Working on the outdoor tiles has a been a real treat so far, creating seamless tiles with separate scenes has been really rewarding I feel. For now I've only experimented a bit with the basic concept, but there are two major paths for us to explore that I would like to suggest for our next month.
On one end we've got:

Made the first tile of the Outdoor set for the Fragmented Dungeon. You might also notice that this set will feature 10 x 10 square tiles instead of 12x12 this has to do with the fact that I'm looking into teaming up with a kickstarter focused on printing maps on 10 x 10 inch sized tiles.
Doing this first tile I did a bunch of tests (including tests with low opacity trees etc) and came to this final result as my favorite.
This month's mapset so far included 11 basic dun...

As he generally focuses on magical items, I decided to start creation of my own set of what I call my mysterious wonderwares. The design was made with a possible printed set in cards for the future and might see some changes over time in order to find good icons to display the core abilities of each item.

The theme for April was Pirate Hideout and it gave me a little room to play around with the Fragmented Dungeon system. Creating new types of connection tiles but also try out combining exit types on main tiles (like on my dock tile).
Now in order to optimize patrons using my tiles I've enlisted the help of another programmer, as I've already got two working with me for my largest map building project, to try and create a handy little website that will make creating maps with these...

So for the next three tiles I'm going to divide them up into A and B, to sort of figure out how big of a role the river is going to play inside this hideout. Either it will only span one tile in the next set or multiple depending on your votes.
So A will be the tile options with water coming through, and B without.
Also I would like to do a large piece in this dungeon, a three tile or two tile piece that features a big tavern, what I believe could be a great feature of...

Starting off with a couple of basic introduction areas for the dungeon. Each with a unique setting. For one I had in mind to create a place where the crew might hang out near the entrance, one is a waterway entrance (I will feature some waterway tiles in this one) with some natural elements and the other will be a fe...

For our next foray into the Fragmented Dungeon I would like to start with another setpiece entrance to get us started in our theme. It's a good way to set the mood for what follows and have a better understanding of the full map in terms of the setting.
So again i would like to suggest a couple of concepts and we'll see what direction were going to take to kick this off. Remember that you are always free to suggest more subthemes for each set of tiles (generally they go by three) ...
