Champion Tier - Ancient Oak - [30x40]

Hey everyone, and happy New Release Monday! Taking a brief pivot from the Gothic Village map, I thought I would create a new and updated forest map; while there are a number of forest maps out there, I always feel as a DM, we can never have enough of these. There are so many hidden secrets a DM can add to the forest, especially in campaigns like Curse of Strahd, where any number of horrors and secre...

Champion Tier - Saltmarsh - The Empty Net - [30x40]

Hello everyone, and happy New Release Monday! Today, I am releasing my version of the Empty Net inspired by the location in Saltmarsh. This is a two-story tavern built on top of a weathered pier jutting out into the harbor. Its location is known to attract the rough & tumble, and some say if you need to smuggle goods, this would be the place to do it. The local town guards know to stay away unle...

Hey everyone, and Happy Sneak Peek Thursday!
