Fragmented Dungeon PART 2 (Theme)

So the way things are going in the poll so far it looks that we are going in the direction of a continuation of the fragmented dungeon concept, it might still shift but I want to give everyone time to vote ahead of time so once I can make it definitive I can just start doing polls about the individual tile sets. 

Now first of I'm still doing 3 tiles that will feature a big throne room and a whole lot of room to do a nice boss battle as a final touch to the first part of the fragmen...

TILES FOR MARCH

Here we go, the first poll for our package made from tiles! As I've mentioned before there are 3 types of tiles: panoramic, which span multiple tiles, main tiles, which have a view and four exits, and finally connection tiles, which create space between tiles and don't always connect all exits but might connect 2 or 3.

In the poll below we will be putting together a package that will consist ou...

Council Meeting - April

 Fragmented Dungeon. I feel that creating the tile based dungeon set, also known as the Fragmented Dungeon, has been a success so far. There is so much to explore in creating dungeons like this and especially because there is a lot of room for back and forth between the creation and the output of each tile. In the long run I think there are so many paths to go down when creating more of these modular tiles, not just dungeons but also outside maps or even buildings that a...

MARCH 2019

Package Update

I'm going to attempt to add a new layer to my content creation, where I do not only give updates on my instagram on the content I'm making but also give you updates on how much is already in the content pool and how far I'm in the process of creating (map related content specifically). Before the month is over, I'll have a poll to put together a content package for the lower tier that will be accessible to everyone in that tier that will even give you an ...

Fragmented Dungeon (Structures)

So for the next three tiles of the Fragmented Dungeon I would like to introduce some underground structures to the mix. As we have already determined there is this hint of an ancient civilization that permeates throughout the dungeon, but other factions might have also made their ways inside these halls. 

For the first part of this poll I would like to focus on the possibility of these factions having made camp on top of the ruins of what was before or that whatever raged inside th...

The Fragmented Dungeon

I've just finished the prototype version of the inside of what I'm calling the Fragmented Dungeon. It is basically a dungeon I'm putting together through a series of votes and suggestions made by the +$3 Tier Patrons consisting out of tile fragments of a dungeon that is designed to either be played as a dungeon as is or repurposed as fragments to create your own dungeon. In the gif above you can see how the four hallways that connect the tiles to each other can be blocked off by dropping a si...

BACK CATALOGUE SUPREME

Introducing the "BACK CATALOGUE SUPREME ", a folder for all the top tier patrons with more content than the old Back Catalogue.

Fragmented Dungeon (Gateway Drug)

As we enter the first section of the dungeon, beyond the mountain gate, I would like to design 3 tiles (with a unique theme each) that serve gateway drug to the rest of the dungeon, a first taste of what lies beyond. Could be anything that introduces adventurers to the dangers of a dungeon. I'll keep it vague so I can either mix match suggestions, or you can leave stuff in the comments to guide my hand.

I'll most likely keep this system going of doing 3 tiles per "theme", in the beginni...

Fragmented Dungeon (Entrance)

To start this dungeon I would like to create a fun 3 tile entrance for our dungeon. Something that will provide it with additional atmosphere. Let's figure out what that entrance should look like and what the tone is.

Remember it will be fragmented so the rest of the dungeon doesn't have to be bound by the rules we set up here. We could have minor details return but the goal is to have freedom in our creation of separate elements.

Check as many boxes as you'd like in th...

Arcane Prison

Battlemap: The Arcane Prison is a bit of an experimental map. Looking into animation and higher quality rendered areas. This is something I am playtesting for upcoming map creation like the dungeon builder I am working on. Where I will be able to crank the quality of my content up by a large margin. 

Tokens: 15 BEASTS: Flying Snake, Frog, Giant Ape, Giant Badger, Giant Bat, Giant Boar, Giant Centipede, Giant Constrictor Snake, Giant Crab, Giant Cro...

Patreon Update by the end of March

I've been on Patreon for a while now and I'm still fine tuning the way I want to distribute and manage content. I started off with a pretty rocky start (managing my content in separate maps per month and having new patrons be able to access older content on a monthly return rate) and took a complete u-turn by instating the back catalogue system (having new patrons be able to access all content instantly, with no differentiation between tiers (except for the one dollar tiers)). Something that ...

Council Meeting - March

 So as you might have noticed I skipped last month's council meeting in favor of doing some experimenting. The idea was that I would have some stuff finished in like the middle of the month that I could present and have a vote after that. The experimenting includes a animated map I'm still working on, having some updated graphics (which I would like to possibly introduce into the digital dungeon builder I'm still working on) and really gunning it for a first printed product: the Creature...

The Underworld Pack

Had a bit of a scrambled setup in my packs over the last couple of months, double the miniatures in January and now I am posting three monsters instead of my one. Made me start to rethink my delivery system somewhat, as it is just better sometimes to keep on track when you are really on point with one of the three subcategories. Like when I was designing those creature cards or the somewhat more stylized artstyle I'm putting together for my monsters. It might sometimes be more interesting to ...

Metalhead Race - 300 Patrons Bonus Booklet

I've uploaded my first preview of what the booklet will look like on the inside once it's finished including a custom race I've designed for the story. You can find the pdf and some art in my Monster Folder in the Back Catalogue (RACES)!

Miniatures + Statblock Cards

Hello!

Had some catching up to do on the part of my miniatures / tokens and as promised I have delivered two batches of them to make up for it! 16 tokens and even one remake (of the ape miniature). 

I've also included a brand new concept to the miniatures, featuring a simplified statblock for the beast cards. Not all of them are finished as of yet, as I am still tweaking the layout somewhat, but this is what it will most likely end up looking like. It was a design I wanted to...

Council Meeting - Januari

MAPS -Would love to work on my level 2 of the titan dungeon map. I could also work on another dungeon map if you prefer. Other suggestions are also welcome

TOKENS - I will be working on the creatures in the back of the Monster Manual. I'm also working on simple design for monster cards using my token art. Been looking for some additional uses for the art, this might be interesting.

CHARACTER - I'm going to try to create two monste...

What's in store for 2019

Happy New Years!

The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazy around the house here, but it looks like things are finally cooling down. In order to make up for that lost time I am planning to double (or even triple) the amount of tokens (as I didn't get to finish last month's batch in time) for this month. Theme is the creatures in the back of the monster manual. As always I don't tend to post too many updates on Patreon, as I don't want to spam your email, but you can fo...

Titan Underworld Dungeon

When they locked away Elterok, they had made sure to take all the right precautions. Imprisoning him in the darkest reaches of the underworld, guarded by powerful titans and a whole consortium of creatures under their command, and for thousands of years, all had seemed to have gone according to their plans.

Unbeknownst to them however Elterok had been biding his time, studying the habits of his keepers. It was foolish of them to think that locking him up and robbing him of ...
