Hey guys!
I decided that I did want to include a side on view for this map to give you more of a sense of the building as a whole so I am re-releasing it today as a new post so you guys don't miss it! (Obivously this post isn't charged as you already paid for the map yesterday)

High on the bluffs, rising out of the forest, the late afternoon sun gleams off of a high stone tower.
At last! Your party has journeyed for several days to seek the guidance of the old mage said to live atop this lonely structure and now it lies within your reach.
Tracing the path that lies before you with your eyes you see it end in a stone stair that wraps around the tower, a small wooden door at the top.
A sudden crash p...

Hi guys!
Since the last patron lottery went down so well lets make it a regular thing! Same rules as last time, if you entered last month feel free to pitch the same map or suggest a new one.

Port Gladhurst lies at the northern end of The Talons archipelago. Originally established as a forward supply base for the Havenite Navy in 265AR. Over the proceeding several decades however the town fell into benign neglect as the Kingdom’s focus shifted to internal struggles that saw it drift out of the King’s control in favour of local governance.
That was until a century ago in 306AR

The Talons are a tumultuous region that has seen a long history of stift and conflict. Lying off the coast of both the Kingdom of Haven and the Sultanate of Athad it has been the target of numerous invasions by its larger neighbours who hoped to exert control over the islands.
The last such invasion was attempted nearly a century ago by King Nayar II of Haven, whose great armada was narrowly defeated by an allianc...

Hi guys!
Im excited to present to you the result of the our 'Patron Lottery' for June.
The lucky winner, Micheal Young, asked for a Lich Lair beneath a derelict building (I went with a crypt) and that is what they got :).
I'm keen to continue the lottery as I think loved all the ideas you guys came up with and the more input I can get from you the better!

Here is a free map I put together for you of an armoured wagon. Perfect for those dangerous trips through the hinterland.
Crossbowmen on the lower deck while the warriors atop the open upper deck fend off attacks with ranged weapons and long spears.

Hi guys!
Some of you guys that are over on our Discord Server might be aware that I have been toying with the idea of holding a monthly lottery to allow one of you wonderful people the chance to get your own custom map made.
June is as good a month as any to test the idea, so I declare the Map Lottery open!
Here is how to enter:

Hi guys,
I have been experimenting over the last couple of days with an isometric style for my dugeon maps.
This is my first serious attempt so please let me know what you think and give me any feedback you have. I'm keen to improve :)
I have made the lineart version available to you for free for you own private games. Please let me know how you get on with it!

First things first I want to give a massive shout out to one of your fellow patrons, Brian Mouritis.
He won an instagram competition I ran to celebrate hitting 10k followers a few weeks back. His idea of a cliff side Temple City sounded very good to me so I started working on bringing the vision to life.
This is the result, The City of Watersmeet Dawnhold.
Here is a sneak peak of the versions for all tiers.

Hi all!
Not quite the sort of post you are used to, I wanted to give you an update on some changes that we’ll be seeing which may affect some of your pledges. Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, I have been informed that Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st.
Less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small. For example, sales tax ra...

Hey guys!
For our 4th premium map of the month I thought I would create a palace complex “dungeon map” for your parties to adventure through.
I thought I’d get some input from you guys over the theme of the palace In term of look and style.
If your choice isn’t mentioned leave your suggestion in comments.
