The Bathhouse Battle Map - Launch

The Bathhouse battle map is finally here, this was another suggestion by you, my wonderful Patrons. I loved this idea and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I spent some time researching Onsen (Japanese Hot Springs/Bathhouses), I've never actually been to a bathhouse so YouTube really helped with finding out all about them. I also wanted to make sure this could be used in a more general fantasy setting, so although its certainly got a Onsen look, it should fit into most fantasy towns or...

Map update for June!

Hello adventurers! Just wanted to catch you up on my plans for June. I've taken a couple of days off to take advantage of the amazing weather in the UK (and maybe play a game or two) but will be back scribbling hard this week!

Next Maps

I'll be looking at two maps for the first half of June. The Bathhouse will be coming in the next week or so. I'll also be combining the rocky desert and sand flats ideas together i...

Fire Giant's Forge Battle Map - Launch

Our next map is finally ready to go! This time it's the Fire Giant’s Forge suggested by you lovely patrons! This is the first lava style map I’ve created, the lighting was certainly something a little different to work with. Fire Giants are a great choice for a higher level party but could be swapped out for something a little less deadly without much trouble. The variants should give a little flexibility to the map. There is an extra cage variant which could work as a prison, a variant w...

Map Schedules and Suggestion list - Update

I just wanted to send out a quick update to you all on timings for our next couple maps and also update the map suggestions list.

Fire Giants Forge and future releases

The next map, coming Monday or Tuesday, will be the Fire Giants Forge, its nearly there but I need a little extra time to get it finished (check out the header for a sneaky peak!). After that I'll be working on a new map to be launched for the end of the month, or more likely the start of next month...

The Plaza Battle Map - Launch

I'm really happy to be launching our new map, this one based on the Patron suggestion a Desert City Plaza. I'm hoping it will work in most settings, as a desert city, a more tropical location like Chult or a coastal town you would find around the Mediterranean. I could even imagine this as a more unique quarter within a traditional fantasy city.

I took at look at places like Morocco for my inspiration here. Lots of flat roofs, tiles and sand blasted paint work. This bec...

Next Map theme and Free Wilderness Pack

Hello adventurers! Just a quick update on our next map theme and plans for next month!

Next map theme

I've picked the Desert Plaza idea (from our Patron suggestions list) for our next map. I'm going for a Moroccan/tropical style, so hopefully it will fit into most campaign settings. I'd say it should work for a desert location, but also maybe somewhere more tropical like Chult. I'm trying to get it done for the end of the month, however its possib...

The Amphitheatre Battle Map - Launch

Hello brave adventurers! I’m happy to present the next map based on our Patron suggestions list, this time it's the Amphitheatre!

I wanted to create a ruin for this map idea, an old abandoned stone structure which could be used as a general map for wilderness encounters, or something with a bit more story behind it. It could be a meeting place, a lair of some creature, or the entrance to a dungeon complex. Hopefully the different levels, cover and overall shape will help create a fun ...

Next map in the works - Update

Hello again, well met and all that :) Just a quick update on schedules and our map list.

I'm planning on creating the Amphitheatre for my next map. Its going to be a ruin in a similar style to my Barrows map. So hopefully it can be used as a fun basic encounter location or as a useful place to hold a more specific encounter (village meeting, cultists conclave, open air concert). I'd expect to have it out early next week assuming everything goes to plan.

The Workshop Battle Map - Launch

I'm finally ready to launch my next map! This one is the Grand Laboratory patron suggestion from our map suggestions list, renamed 'The Workshop'.

The original suggestion was some kind of lab, maybe a necromancer or alchemist. I also wanted it to have a super villain vibe, so it could work as a boss room/lair. In the end I went with a dark creepy feel and with enough bits of 'technology' to work as an alchemists workshop or some sort of Frankenstein 're-animator' style necromancer/mad s...

Next map and new variant! - Update

Hi everyone! Another quick update from me.

After launching Moon Cove I thought it could do with a ship variant and spent a little extra time to create it over the last couple of days. I've updated the download zip files, available in the normal place. Thank you all for your support! I hope you'll find it useful. Just to be clear this is included in the Moon Cove release, its a completely free update.

Moon Cove Battle Map - Launch

Our last map for March is a wild and rugged coastal theme with a classic cove and sandy beach, backed by a windswept cliff. Its inspired by some of the places I've visited along the south coast of England. Hopefully this will work for adventures along the Sword Coast and more exotic regions as well.

I'll pick a new map from our Patron suggestions list in the next couple of days and let you know in an update post later this week! And now to the map notes!

Weekly update!

Hello again, just a quick update to let you know whats going on this week. 

New community goal and Map Packs!

I've added a new community goal to Patreon. At 400 Patrons I'll create a free Wilderness map pack for all you wonderful Patrons! Wilderness Map Packs were a popular choice in our last Poll, so I thought it would be a good choice for a community reward. I'll announce more details as we get closer to hitting the goal.
