 Hello everyone, and happy New Release Monday! Today, I am releasing another rework of an older map I did inspired by Lake Zarovich and the Bluto Encounter! This map shows the true darker side of the people of the land and pits your players up against protecting the innocent before it's too late!

Hey everyone, and happy Sneak Peek Thursday! Halloween is almost upon us and each year I enjoy making a special seasonal map that has close ties to me personally.

 Hey everyone and happy New Release Monday! I am finishing the Sinister Secrets of Saltmarsh project today by releasing the lower level basement/cavern section. Additionally I created a parchment style map containing the three levels of the house so that they are all on the same page.

September 2024 - Montly Recap

 Hey everyone, and welcome to my monthly recap post! Here is where I review each of the maps released this month and provide you with the links for each of them in case you missed anything (if you're like me, my inbox is always so cluttered all the time so it's easy to miss a map drop alert!).

Additionally, there are currently two resources to help you find the maps you need:

Champion Tier - City Docks [40x30]

 Hello everyone, and happy New Release Monday! Today, I am launching my newest map in the Saltmarsh series called the "City Docks".

This docks map features a 40x30 gridded area of the town featuring both the dockside of the harbor and one of the city streets where most of the dock traffic passes by.

I designed this map to be encounter-rich, with many areas to explore and fight on!...

Sneak Peek - City Docks

Hey everyone and happy Sneak Peek Thursday! We've had both a spooky and chilly month so far with the Burgomaster's Manor and the new set of Winter's Grasp maps. Now, I am pivoting over to that golden coast of Saltmarsh to create a "City Docks" map. As a DM, I'm almost always in need of docks for all sorts of encounters, from sea creatures attacking to pirates fighting on the streets to my players ma...

Champion Tier | Winter's Grasp: Blood on the Vine Tavern | 30x20

 This post contains the map files for the Winter's Grasp Blood on the Vine Tavern. It may be cold outside, but at least it's warm by the crackling fire of the tavern. Be sure to fill your belly with some Red Dragon Crush wine, just don't plan on having many great conversations with Arik the bartender.

Champion Tier | Winter's Grasp: Bildrath's Mercantile | 25x20

 This post contains the map files for the snowy Bildrath's Mercantile. It might be miserable outside, but trust me, it's equally miserable inside as well as Bildrath is just not a pleasant man to be around.

However, if your players need some snow gear, he's the only shop from here to Vallaki that can help! Just don't harm our dear Parriwimple!

Champion Tier | Winter's Grasp: Barovia Reimagined | Bildrath's Mercantile | Blood on the Vine | Mad Mary's Townhome

 Hey everyone, and happy New Release Monday! I am continuing down the frosty path of Project "Winter's Grasp," and this time, I've re-done three of the key Village of Barovia locations.

Whether you are creating a new, snowy landscape of this dark misty land or playing in a snow-based campaign, this will give you three versatile buildings to use which cover a home, a tavern, and a shop! View Post

Champion Tier | Winter's Grasp: Mad Mary's Townhome | 15x20

This post contains the .zip files for the WInter's Grasp Mad Mary's Townhome. This is one of the first introductions many have to the dire Village of Barovia by hearing Mary's cries echo through the half-empty town. When everything is covered in snow, it makes the surrounding area even quieter, and I'd like to think it makes her wails of anguish stand out more, surely attracting your party to help t...
