Hello Adventurers! Sometimes you just need a nice convenient back alley to ambush your party. And so our next map is one of those. It's inspired by victorian city planning, where alleys would run behind working-class housing. These had many quirky names like Gunnels, Gates, Gants and my favourite Snickets. I’m not a fan of extremely narrow places to fight, so I’ve made the ‘Snicket’ a little wider than would be 100% accurate, which I hope will allow for more dynamic fights.

Hello Adventurers! I’ve got a new map for you! A Doomsday Machine built into the side of a cliff's edge. I went with a steampunk aesthetic, with lots of cogs and brass. References came from old clocks, watches and 19th-century mechanics. I can imagine this working as a gnomic device, or some ancient machine, built with a long since forgotten purpose. With Spelljammer coming up I like to think there will be more things like this appearing in your campaigns ;)

Hello Adventurers! Here is my next map for you lovely people, Enter the Underdark. A small Keep or Outpost, embedded into the side of a cliff with an entrance to the Underdark at its rear. I imagine this is an Outpost for Drow or Duergar, a place to muster troops or raiding parties. Or maybe it's just a guard post, preventing unwanted entry into their domain. Either way, if the party want to go into the Underdark they need to get past this place. I think this would also work ...

Hello Adventurers! This is my next map project, the Fishing Village! I originally wanted to create a simple encampment, but after looking for historic material I found some awesome references for Viking settlements. I went with earthen walls, a sort of palisade fence and a few thatched houses by a body of water, which could be a river estuary or ocean. This would work for a small village or homestead, a fishing outpost or a Norse style raiding settlement.

Hello Adventurers! March is nearly over and with it comes my last map of the month, a general use travel map of a crossroads in a rural setting. I imagine this is outside a small town or village, the kind of place you may find bandits holding up the local merchants coming into town for market day. Crossroads have some quite dark myths and folklore around them, which I’ll incorporate into some encounter ideas in the Map Notes below.
I’ll be working on the Vi...

Hello Adventurers! This is the Bog Troll Cave map I worked on earlier in the month as part of a collab with some other fantastic creatives. Unfortunately, they are running a little behind schedule, so I thought I’d launch this map now and update you with their awesome extras towards the end of the month. Sorry for the wait, I’m sure it will be worth it ;) Anyways, I love how this one turned out, it looks as slimy as I hoped, perfect for a waterlogged swamp, or Underdark m...

Hello Adventurers! I’ve managed to complete our next map this week, February is a short month, so I had to put in a few late-nights ;) It's a Frozen cave/dungeon that would work very well as a White Dragons Lair, but as with most of my maps, it would work for a bunch of other frozen encounters. Take a look at the notes for my suggestions.
I also want to wish every one of you the best in what has been a terrible few days. I hope you and your loved ones are safe.

Hello Adventurers! I’ve finally put the finishing touches to our next map release, The Secret Garden. This is a formal garden with open areas for dynamic combat, a bunch of structures, different levels, a maze, and even a water feature. It could work as part of a larger garden, or as a posh backyard for some noble’s townhouse. It’s a little unkempt so could be abandoned, or it could even be a pocket dimension for some weird spirit or minor deity.

Hello adventurers! The end of the month is here and with it comes my latest map release, the Lord’s Quarters. This is an interior of some Noble’s private quarters (King, Queen, Lord, Ambassador), along with an audience chamber. As always I did some research into this layout and came across some useful bits of information I’ll be adding to the description found below and in the PDF. Hopefully, it will help you add flavor to your encounters with the nobility :)

Hello Adventurers! January is well on its way and I’ve finally got our next map ready to release to you lovely people! This one is the Swamp Hag's Shack, a small wooden structure in the middle of a swamp, along with a cellar and some caves underneath. Obviously, it doesn't have to be a hag's home, but it does have some odd magical and herbalist-style items laying around.
