470 Willow Castle

Denizens of the Tower!

The exploration of Willow Castle causes more questions than answers. Something has gone horribly wrong in the lavish residence. That much is clear. There are signs of struggle. There is no one to be seen. But apparent only to people sensitive to magical auras, there is a strange arcane energy coming from beneath the castle floor. The answer to this riddle lies in the ancient crypts under the castle. A dark family secret that was recently unearthed and may spell th...

Visit Dragonhorn Road Inn a Place for Adventurers!

Traveler! This is the map/floor-plan of the Dragonhorn Road Inn. A one-story inn/tavern a few yards from a major road. Due to its distance to the nearest town, a 6-foot-tall palisade surrounds the main building, the stables, and the outhouse. One can never be too careful when dealing with strangers on the lonely roads of the realm.  The characters can find rest and solace in the Dragonhorn Road Inn. But they will also hear of a nearby estate where a family of wealthy individuals have not...

469 Dragonhorn Road Inn (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 469 Dragonhorn Road Inn. It is necessary to have Photoshop or a compatible app to use it. Inside you will find that it is all white. That is the uppermost layer, I only use it to make the file-preview smaller in size. Once you remove that uppermost layer you'll see the illustration. (it's just one click)

Most of the illustration elements are properly named and arranged in folders in the layer area. Some assets like textures or smart objects have...

Exploring the deep dungeon in the desert!

Traveler! The Starry Throne adventure leads the characters to investigate a seemingly endless well within a dilapidated elvish structure in the desert (map 466).

Exploring the endless shaft in the desert!

Traveler! An amazing subject for adventure for me is the exploration of old fantastical places that defy the characters' expectations. This location is an old ruined temple in the middle of the desert that is covered and unearthed once a year in the ever-changing sand dunes. In it, a seemingly endless well produces a strong magic aura that comes from the depths of the earth. However, exploring the endless well is a complex obstacle reserved for seasoned adventurers.

Traveler! 

This map depicts a ship graveyard in the middle of the ocean. Strange currents and frequent storms produce a Bermuda-triangle effect that causes ships to be stranded here. Even sea creatures find themselves trapped in this location. The source of the strange climate is a tomb in the ocean depths. It is more of a prison, and its arcane protections have malfunctioned after centuries. They cause the storms and the currents!
