Sneak Peek - Video Trailer: Candy House

Hey everyone! I'm on the road to recovery from this bugger of a flu and finally feel my creative blood returning to me. So, I made a fun trailer video for my next map launching tomorrow! 

Hope you enjoyed this fun little vid, and I'll catch up with you all tomorrow for my holiday map, "Candy House" release. 

Cheers,

Sneak Peek - Gingerbread Hag's Home

Hansel reached up and broke off a little of the roof to see how it tasted, while Gretel stood next to the windowpanes and was nibbling at them. Then a gentle voice called out from inside:

Nibble, nibble, little mouse, Who is nibbling at my house?

Hey everyone, and happy sneak peek day! I know I'm late on t...

Quick Update

Hey friends! Just wanted to let you all know I'm currently down with the flu, so was not able to post yesterday's sneak peek. My apologies! I'm hoping to get something posted today and hope this won't impact my map schedule too much. I must have rolled a nat 1 on my CON save this week!

I'm confident I'll bounce back and get back on schedule, though. Thanks for all your support. 

Cheers,

Champion Tier - Saltmarsh: Faithful Quartermasters

Hey everyone, and happy New Release Monday! Today, I visited the salt air and warm sun of Saltmarsh to bring you the 7th location in my series of mapping out Saltmarsh: The Faithful Quartermasters. 

This map was inspired by the entry in the Saltmarsh book and ended up being a super fun project to work on. Originally, I was not sure how I would approach this trade delegation / magic item b...

Champion Tier - Gothic Village [40x60]

Hello everyone, and happy New Release Monday! I'm excited to have finished the exterior version of the Gothic Village (inspired by the Village of Barovia). This 40x60 map features over 30 homes in various states; some lived in, others abandoned and boarded up. For now, this is just the exterior version, but I do have plans to create interior locations for each of the homes ...

Sneak Peek - Village of Barovia Streets (Gothic Village) v2.0

Hey everyone! Sorry, the sneak peek is a little late; with the holiday this week, I'm a little off my schedule. 

I present to you a small section of the revised Village of Barovia Streets map I've been working on! (I will market this as "Gothic Village" for IP reasons). 

This map is a re-work of my streets map I did over three years ago! A few notes about this map:

A Thankful Message


Hi everyone! On this day of thanks, I wanted to take a moment to tell you all how truly grateful I am to each and every one of you. As a creator, I often struggle to find the right words to say that don't sound fleeting and inauthentic. However, each day I wake up, I think of how much you all have helped me achieve my dreams of being a full-time artist and map maker and I will forever be ...

(Early) Sneak Peek - Village of Barovia Streets

Hey everyone! I thought I would give you all some early insights on the next map I'll be working on for the streets of Barovia. I decided to use the eastern part of town for this one as I wanted this to be a more generic street map you can use for various encounters. 

I also added in Death House in the middle row of houses and plan to create a variant with and without it. This way, you ca...

Quick Update

Hey everyone! Just a quick reminder that I'm taking this week off from posting a new map. I like to keep my releases at 4 per month, which normally results in a weekly post, but every now and again, there is a five-Monday month, and it's a nice chance for me to take a little breather before I'm back in the workshop.

The good news is I will end the month with an updated CoS map I did a while ba...
