City Dump Battle Map - Launch

Hello Adventurers and a happy holidays! I’ve been drawing trash for the last couple of weeks and although it's not exactly holiday themed I thought you’d still want this one before Christmas :D

I did a little research into historical junkyards and rubbish dumps for this and found some interesting information on historical waste disposal. Simply put there weren’t really large-scale dumps as we know them today (we really do live in very wasteful times). There were privately run rubb...

Bathysphere Battle Map - Launch

Hello Adventurers! Here is our next map, a sturdy research ship that carries a deep-sea exploration vessel called a Bathysphere. I love sea-based adventures and this could be used for a simple encounter or a more lengthy adventure exploring the depths. I’ve created a map for the ship itself, and two Bathysphere maps (Sandy Bottom and Ocean Depths). This would work great as a sequence of encounters, from ship deck to hanging in the depths of the ocean.

Fey Vale Battle Map - Launch

Hello adventurers! I hope your November is going well. I’ve finally finished off our next map, the Fey Vale. This one should make for a great Feywilds encounter map, with all its mushrooms, brambly vines, and weird purple hue. It’s quite a big map as well, so you could split it into two and get two encounter maps from it. I also created a new Feywilds variant of the Bamboo Forest map, which is linked below for Delver Tier Patrons.

Starlit Tower Battle Map - Launch

Hello adventurers! Here is our next battle map, a multi-level map I’ve called Starlit Tower. I wanted to make an arcane tower map that was useful in a number of different circumstances. This could be a wizard tower, a home to some magical being, a teleportation tower, or a place specifically designed for some sort of arcane ritual. The star motif kind of developed as I created this layout, I think it's kinda cool :)

The next map on the list is a Fey Valley, very magic...

Tar Pits Battle Map - Launch

Hello Adventurers! Here is our next map release, a sticky mess likely to hinder the passage of even the hardiest adventurer. Making a pool of black liquid look cool was a bit of a challenge but I’m happy with the final results. The edges of the pools are cracked and dry, but still treacherous with soft tar under seemingly solid ground. I imagine this would work as a deep canyon the party is traveling along, or the lair of some monstrous creature.

October Maps and a Free Asset Pack - Update

Hello Adventurers! I hope you are doing well. This month I’m looking to put out at least two maps, themed with a little spookiness and a little fey wildness. I’ve picked three map concepts I’ll be working on over October (thanks to you all for the map suggestions):

  • Tar Pits
    A set of pits full of black sticky tar with bones around the edges. A path leads through the pits, in places makeshift bridges traverse the dark bubbling pools. Who knows what evil cou...

Castle Courtyard Battle Map - Launch

Hello Adventurers! Here is the last of my paid maps this month (just two this time as I’m trying to do a bit of self-care). I’ve called this one the Castle Courtyard. This is a gothic-inspired layout with a massive open courtyard as the main battleground and the castle entrance at the rear. It’s large enough to be perfect for a large-scale fight with something big and scaly ;) This will be one of a few maps I create for a full gothic castle. I’m thinking dungeons, a b...

Bamboo Forest Battle Map - Launch

Hello Adventurers! Here is our latest map release, the Bamboo Forest. This is a wilderness map with a path leading through a watercourse. I imagine there are Koi carp swimming in the pool, probably the pets of some forest spirit or hermit. Obviously, the party will want fish for dinner which could become a problem ;)

Ruined Village Battle Map - Launch

Hello Adventurers! I’ve finally finished off our latest map, the Ruined Village. It’s a general map that can be used for any encounter that needs some ruined dwellings. I’ve spent a long time drawing rubble for this one! Hopefully, it will work for a bunch of wilderness encounters in those classic spooky abandoned settlements sprinkled across every fantasy world ;)

Temple Dig Battle Map - Launch

Hello Adventurers! Here (finally) is our next map release, it’s a rather large archeological dig site excavating an ancient temple. It’s ripe for fun with all sorts of buried treasures and more than likely buried evil. I took inspiration from numerous sites around the world including India, Thailand, South America, and Europe.

Our next map will be a Ruined village, mostly walls, the odd section of burned floorboard and roofing, should be a very useful general map. A...

August Map Schedule - Update

Hello Adventurers! It’s August and I’ve been rummaging through all the amazing ideas you have sent me over the last few months and picked three I think will work well together. I normally pick a weird/fantastical map theme, a structure (building) theme, and a wilderness map (travel encounter) theme. These are the current ideas I have for our August maps (Suggested by you all! Hopefully I credited the right people, let me know if I didn’t) :
