Slight Delay but Sneaky Late Night WIP!

Hi all!

Unfortunately, I've had a bit of trouble getting this upcoming release done on time (I took a short break earlier on this month), due to a CERTAIN Kickstarter project taking much longer than expected to sort and with it launching in...about 15 hours from now, it's a bit much.

However, I am making a perfect and also ruined v...

  • The Forgotten (Lost) World - based on the Lost World in ...

[Slot-In Session] Entomb the Unknown

Hi all, welcome pack to another slot-in session. This one is a level 6 oneshot for 4-6 players! Here's a little description:

A few months ago, the noble vampire clan of Ilrang was nearly wiped out by a rival house. The remnants of the group took shelter in a massive underground tomb: the Macguffin Family Crypt. The survivors took to the crypt, and began to use the last of their strength to summon an ancient weapon, a Dracolich, so that they might destroy their enemies once and for a...

Have you played any Snowy's Maps Oneshots?

Hi all! I just wanted to do a mini review regarding the slot-in sessions/oneshots that we have been releasing over the past three months - moreso out of curiosity!

So have any of you used the slot-in sessions so far? If so, then how did it go?

I realise my main thing is still battlemaps and honestly most people will still be here for that, but I just wanted to see who also joined for the oneshots! :D

[Public] Spooky Season (Halloween) 2024!

Hey all! Welcome back to another release. I know a lot of us have different Halloween traditions, but I thought it'd be cool to incorporate some traditional Halloween options into some of these maps. For example, the Village has little pumpkins outside each house - where in the UK we use this or decorations to let others know that we are participating in trick or treat!

Anyway, this pack has three main maps - all along the feywild swamp theme from a few days back. This includes:

[Public] Feywild Swamp - TikTok War Release!

Hey all! I just wanted to share my latest map with you - a standalone release because we beat my friend in the TikTok war. Additionally, this is a thank you for 100 followers over there! This was suggested by Jan for the last poll and well, I thought it'd be a cool little map. The witch hut will release as part of the Spooky Season pack!

File Types n Sizes

Hey all! I just wanted to ask your opinion on file size and types when it comes to maps! As you know, I have been making larger and more detailed maps and admittedly it is QUITE difficult to keep file size down as a result.

Here I have a few choices!

  • Keep as it is, 140ppi JPGs

  • Reduce to 100ppi JPGs

  • Offer JPGs and WEBP

  • Just transition to WEBP

[Slot-In Session] Where Mimics Come From!

Hey all, welcome back to another paid member slot-in session. This month we have another epic adventure, this time for level 4 players. This one tells the story of Mimstrel Icken and how he lurks deep inside a dungeon, protected by many mimics.

Mimstrel Icken was a talented transmutation wizard, who always wanted to create smart objects that would change form to whatever their owner needed. This included a spoon, that could turn into a fork. Clothing that could harden into armour wh...

Ongoing Patreon Link Issues

Hi all! I just wanted to provide a mini update regarding the link issues I experienced with the latest release. I am not entirely sure why Patreon has made this change, and it is QUITE frustrating.

I am also realising a lot of other creators are also struggling with this and we have no idea what's happening at Patreon behind the scenes. I and several others have submitted tickets/reports regarding this issue - and hopefully something comes out of it!

[Slot-In Session] Twisted Shadows of Iliki - Remastered

Hey all! Welcome back to another release - this time it is a remaster of my FIRST oneshot - Twisted Shadows of Iliki, but in the form of a slot-in session. I was still very new to the writing scene and reading through the original, I can tell that I have improved a hecking lot! As part of this, monsters have been mostly reworked, full Foundry integration has been added, text made more interesting and interactive - and more!

Iliki is a small, prosperous village with a large lake at i...
