Mage Academy Mischief! Your turn to suggest themed pocket rooms!

Hey all, with the final release of the Mage Academy series coming up, I wanted to do a lil something special for it. As explained in the poll I will still be doing basic rooms for each of the 8 schools of magic found within 5e.

All of you here today have been part of this lil adventure in one way or another and I wanted to commemorate that :D

I think in the end I am going to do this as a dungeon of sorts with each room being between 6x6 and 15x15 in s...

[Public] Mountain Pack 1

Hey all, welcome back to another release! This is a set of three mountain themed battlemaps - but this one has got to be my favourite! I really love these cloud assets I have used from SkrontStuff - although I've got to admit, it's actually smoke!! XD

Anyway, here are your maps for this release:

FoundryVTT V12 Support!

Hi all, just thought I would let you know that ALL of my FoundryVTT modules should now be compatible with V12 of Foundry! Let me know if you have any troubles with this, you should literally be able to check for an update and it should just update you. :D

[Public] A crossover with the lovely 'a day at'!

Hey all, welcome back to another release! Oh, what’s this?! A sneaky lil crossover with the wonderful a day at! Over the past few weeks, I’ve been chatting with Ana, a modern and post-apocalyptic themed battlemap and asset pack creator, who makes her releases themed around “a day at…”, and to be honest, it blew me away when I realised. XD

Anyway, we obviously couldn’t help ourselves, and chatted a bit about doing a crossover with my restaurant and waffle house maps, and her ...

Schedule for June

Hi all, just wanted to provide a bit of a quick update regarding things happening in June/July. These next couple of months are admittedly going to be a bit hectic for me between my IRL job and changes coming up on Patreon (more about that coming soon!), so I've shuffled around a couple of bits to make up for it and ensure I release on time! :D

1st June -> The poll again will be on the 1st (two hours from this post), and conclude on the 4th. This is for the pack which releases on the...

[Public] Mage Academy Lecture Halls!

Hi all, welcome back to another release! This time we are continuing the series of maps in the Kitoro Mage Academy series and this time I bring a set of three lecture hall battlemaps - all of varying sizes. The one pictured has got to be my favourite - but I realise it would be set in a high magic campaign, so there's a couple of more normal lecture halls. :D

Anyway, here are your maps:

[Kickstarter] Tome of Maps: Forest Edition

Hey all - I just wanted to share and showcase my latest Kickstarter project (I usually share these twice on my Patreon, once when it is announced and the second when it is active). This one is a battlemap book and is the first I have done!

I would love it if you just share it around to anyone else who might like this (even if you aren't interested yourself), as this time I am going to launch when we hit 100 followers. Check it out here:

Trees - walls for FoundryVTT/Dynamic Lighting

Hey all! Just wanted to do a quick poll and see what people would prefer in terms of dynamic lighting on Foundry and other places where you can use DD2VTT files.

Currently I do not put any sort of walls for my trees and also include the treetops on one map. I realise that people might have different preference that I am potentially open to explore. So - what would be your preferred way of trees in VTTs?

[Monster] Death Seer

While this is a cool monster, I would definitely recommend that you speak to your players first about playing this one if they struggle with a fear of death or the like. This will be the last monster for a while, as I will be restructuring the patreon etc. :D

[Public] Fast Food Restaurant + Waffle House

Hey all! Welcome back to another map pack release. Initially, I was going to release this pack alongside a mini collaboration with a friend but she's unfortunately had to delay a bit - so we are going to separate out our announcements instead!

Today's release is another one chosen by our paid members, which includes a two storey fast food restaurant and a bonus waffle house map! We don't really have these in the UK so I had to go on pictures from Google, so might not be an EXACT recreat...

Fast food restaurant WIP!

Hey all, just wanted to show a little WIP image for the first floor of the fast food restaurant - and it's going to be BIG! I started off at 30x25 and have ended up with a size of around 50x40, with a second floor still to come!

I am also going to delay the release by three days, to the 23rd of May. I am looking to do a little collaboration project with a friend who makes modern maps, but they won't be ready until then. To make up for it, I will be adding a little waffl...

I've just started sketching out maps before I make them - and while this isn't the best in the world, it really helps get my brain going! So enjoy the layout of this restaurant!

[Public] Desert and Forest Time Warp

Hi all, welcome back to another map pack - and oh boy! This one is a BIG release - with 6 BASE maps for Patrons and 48 maps total! The public get access to the forest maps.

The idea behind this release is based on Skyward Sword. In the distant past there was a lush forest, which was abandoned and over time turned into a desert. However, hitting crystals (as an example) get throw the players back into the distant past. Anyway, here are your maps:

What GENERIC biome maps should I focus more on/focus on next?

Just a sort of follow up from the other day. I realised a lot of campaigns take place across multiple biomes and my maps are mostly forest or city based.

I want to focus a little more on making generic maps, especially ones that are flexible/usable in combat encounters. I feel like I have a lot of forest ones, so going to leave this option out, and add others that I missed.

These polls might seem a bit random, but I have a few ideas in the works to make this Patreon better for GM...

A Heart-To-Heart!

Hey all! I kinda wanted to share this with my paid members first before this goes ahead in the coming months - moreso as a trial period....so this isn't currently set in stone. Although needless to say I have been procrastinating this post a bit.

Over the past couple of years, I've been trying to see where I fit in the vast sea of TTRPG creators, especially fellow mapmakers. And honestly, it's been a bit of a difficult one...and is in part, why my releases change so much and my projects...

What biomes does your campaign/sessions mostly reside in?

Hey all, just wanted to ask what biome(s) your campaign is mostly set in. Over the next month or two I am going to be working on a physical battlemap book but to start with I am thinking that it will be ONE theme to maximise its usability.

Feel free to add in more suggestions in the comments. :D

The main details include rooms dedicated to the four elements, a prayer room, zen garden, teleportation circle, lecture hall, dining hall, extra bedrooms and a master's wing! I am really enjoying this series - so maybe we should add in another floor. :D

I also made some fixes to the ground floor map, such as moving around a couple of walls and doors to make the stairs fit - ...
