Champion Tier - Dark Woods [40x40]

Hey everyone, and happy Release Monday! For today's release, I have updated my forest map and created the Dark Woods. This moody forest map is chock-full of overgrown, twisted nature, plenty of height and elevation, and no clear path for your players to wander into many different types of forest encounters you might have planned! Plus, I have created many different color va...

My Thoughts on the OGL

Hey everyone, and I hope you are having a great Sunday. Well, here we are 15 days into the new year, and it's already been a tumultuous time for the D&D community. By this time, most, if not all, of you are aware of the proposed change to the OGL that many creators have used for over two decades, so I won't rehash that here. However, I do want to go on record stating I am heartbroken over the dir...

Sneak Peek - Dark Woods

Hey everyone, and happy Sneak Peek Thursday! Today I bring you a small section of my next map; The Dark Woods. 

I have realized it has been a while since I updated some of my forest maps, and since most dark realms like Barovia are covered in pine forests, you'll no doubt be running a lot of encounters there! 

This forest map will be a 40x40 map and wi...

Channel Updates - 2022

Hey everyone! Since Jan is a 5-Monday month, there is no release this upcoming Monday, so that I can take some time off for the New Year. Typically today, I would post up the sneak peek for Monday, so I thought instead it would be a good time to reflect on the year and talk about 2023.

First and foremost, I thank everyone who supports this channel and has s...

Hello everyone, and Happy Sneak Peek Thursday! Wow, I cannot believe Christmas is just a few days away, and it will almost be the New Year. What happened to 2022? I guess I've been so heads down making maps that the year just passed me by.

Chance to win a Nintendo Switch w/ Lunch Break Heroes

Hey everyone! I have some exciting news for you. I was given the chance to talk about my map-making passion with none other than Lunch Break Hereos!

Not only that, but when I started CoS, I found the LBH video guides on flushing o...
