RHoD Ch4.4 The Coffin Maker's Shop (30x30)

Greetings adventurers:

We are only a few maps away from wrapping up The Red Hand of Doom campaign. Time sure does fly by when your having fun!

Scene Flavor:

As the PCs near Cathedral Square, they hear outcries of alarm, screaming, and the sound of dozens of armored soldiers running. Lord Jarmaath has just fallen to a sniper’s arrow, fired from somewhere on the western side of the Square.  Rather than regrouping in preparation for Wyrm...

RHoD Ch4.3 Streets of Blood (45x30)

Greetings adventurers:

Another city street map. I'm enjoying these and thinking that it would be fun in the future to make a city map made of multiple district maps that form one large map.

Scene Flavor:

While the PCs are catching their breath after their fight with Abithriax, Lord Jarmaath contacts them again. Fighting has moved into the city streets, and the defenders are trying to slow the horde’s advance into Brindol. They’ve managed...

How to: Print Maps

We had a recent request on the best way to print maps so here is my guide on the best way I know how:

Overview:

  • The map size is indicated by it's grid size.
  • A 30x30 grid map is intended to be 30"x 30" or 762mm x 762mm.
  • One standard square grid is 1"x 1" or 25.4mm x 25.4mm.
  • The PPI or Pixels per inch indicates the resolution of the map
  • To figure out the t...

RHoD Ch4.2 Rampage of Fire (35x35)

Greetings adventurers:

Another phased battle map with increasing degrees of fire spread! I love a good phased map.

In other exciting news.. My birthday is this week and I'm turning 30, ya!

Turning a new decade has me reminiscing on where I've come from and the person I am today. This project, Canvas Quest maps, brings me immense fulfillment and helps me believe I'm seizing life. Soo, a big thank you to everyone here and anybody reading this.

RHoD Ch4.1 Save the Walls (50x50)

Greetings adventurers:

Happy New Year everyone! 2024 will be our best year yet, definitely, hopefully, probably.

Scene Flavor:

Four giants have crept forward quietly under the cover of darkness and taken up a position on a low hill, about 500 feet south of the southern city gate. Each giant has an ample supply of throwing rocks to throw and topple down the wall. The guards defending the wall are mostly armed with light crossbows; given the p...

RHoD Ch3.1 The Ghost Lord's Lair (20x50)

Greetings adventurers:

Happy holidays everyone! Enjoy some time away from work and make merry memories with family and friends.

Scene Flavor:

Rising from a low mesa is an intimidating sight. A massive lion of stone crouches, as if ready to pounce on a nearby hill. The cyclopean monolith is composed of a dull tawny stone. It looks to be about two hundred forty feet in length, and the top of its maned head rises over eighty feet from the groun...

Ch2.5 The Sunken Town Hall in the Ruins of Rhest (20x24)

Greetings adventurers:

Happy holidays everyone! Enjoy some time away from work and make merry memories with family and friends.

We already hosted Christmas this year for my side of the family, and now we are off to spend time with Mrs. Canvas' family. We enjoy a gingerbread house competition tradition every year and are looking forward to the quality time together.

December's monthly vote is up and has 1 week left!

RHoD Ch2.4: Dirty Rotten Looters (No Name Tavern)(28x24)

Greetings adventurers:

Happy holidays everyone! Enjoy some time away from work and make merry memories with family and friends.

We will be hosting Christmas this year, so Mrs. Canvas and I have plenty of cooking and decorating before the family arrives. There's nothing like getting together and eating too much food with family and friends.

This map was selected by Patrons in November's monthly vote. December's monthly vote will go up this Sunday!

The Dawn Way

Greetings adventurers:

This is a repost. I'm cleaning up the Patreon posts with the Master tier posts and accidently deleted this, oops!

Scene Flavor:

This trade road cuts through the western portion of the Witch wood for almost 40 miles. It is generally broad, level, and clear. Every few miles, rudimentary log shelters built by teamsters using the road stand in clearings nearby. A handful of old woodcutters’ and trappersâ...

RHod Ch2.3 Sunken Bell Tower in the Ruins of Rhest (24x24)

Greetings adventurers:

This week, we head into the Ruins of Rhest to explore the Sunken Bell Tower, encounter.

Scene Flavor:

This stone building, obviously an old bell tower, protrudes from the lake at a slant, reaching a height of thirty feet above the surface of the water. Eroded images of dozens of lions—stalking, sleeping, and pouncing— adorn its sides. A rickety-looking wooden platform has been built around the towe...

RHod Ch2.2 North Road Blockade (36x36)

Greetings adventurers:

This week, we head further towards the Ruins of Rhest on the North Road and stumble into the North Road Blockade, encounter.

Scene Flavor:

Up ahead a crude, ten-foot-high palisade of logs has been erected across the road, extending forty feet to either side and completely blocking all passage. A squat, twenty-foot-tall watchtower looms in the middle of the palisade. You catch a glimpse of movement up i...

RHod Ch2.1 - Mercenary Gold (35x20)

Greetings adventurers:

This week, we head into Chapter 2 of the Red Hand of Doom adventure to showcase the lost Mercenary Gold encounter. This is usually in the woods, but we like our desert, summer, fall, and winter options.

Scene Flavor:

You spy trouble ahead on the road. In the shade of several tall poplars, a two-horse wagon has been dragged off the road. Small goblins clamber all over the wagon, shouting in wicked glee,...

Marauder Attack in the woods (35x20)!? Or the Desert, or anywhere

Greetings adventurers:

This week, we head back to the beginning of the Red Hand of Doom adventure to properly showcase the marauder attack encounter. This is usually in the woods, but we like our desert, summer, fall, winter, and fey options.

I had a lot of fun with these variations and tried improving the lighting on these maps. I think it really helps them pop!

Scene Flavor:

The road crests a small rise and descends into a dusty grov...

Skull Gorge Bridge

"The ground has been rising for the last few miles, and finally the forest itself peters out. Ahead is a stretch of barren ground, about sixty feet wide, ending in a gorge. Roughly a hundred feet wide at its narrowest point, the gorge drops away precipitously to a fast-rushing stream far below. The ancient Dawn Way crosses the cleft on a bridge of stone. Anchored at both ends to large stone towers with pentagonal roofs, the bridge seems sturdy despite its obvious age. It is, clearly, the only...

Vrath Keep

"Looming out of the shadowy woods ahead is a haunting sight—a ruined keep. The old castle sits on a small rocky hillock, and you can catch glimpses of a broken tower between the trees.

The old keep is in very poor repair. The gatehouse is partially collapsed, as is a section of wall to the south. The walls surrounding the keep are about fifteen feet high, with a two story tower looming in the southwest corner of the courtyard within. Large boulders lie strewn amid the ruins of the two...

Jorr's Cabin Overlooking the Blackfins (Links bellow)

Traveling further into the Witchwood, our adventurers stumble upon Jorr the woodsman's cabin. His three hunting dogs quickly alert Jorr of the stranger's presence. Solitude hasn't made Jorr the easiest to get along with, but he does know the Witchwood better than anyone.

So it Begins! River Crossing Attack

Everyone has to start somewhere and this is our beginning. I've spent many hours of research, map making, and Patreon fiddling to get to this point.

It's with great hope that I look forward to reading this post 1 year from now. Opportunity, is after all, always on the horizon.

For our first post, Causeway Attack!

Traveling deep into the Witchwood the adventurers attempt to cross an old and creaky causeway, bridging the gap over the marsh river. A hydra lurks...
