286 Mal, the Capital

Denizens of the Tower!

Here's Mal, a metropolis and capital of a mid-sized kingdom. I'd been wanting to do a city layout which consisted in concentric circles and several layers of walls. The result is very visually enticing. One of the internal wall-circles protudes from the outer wall. this one includes Mal Palace, the home of Queen Galiana. Outside of the city walls, the bridge district is an interesting place to visit. Scores of stores and merchants sells their wares on the bridge i...

285 The Sage from Beyond

Travelers and Friends!

We made a map and wrote an adventure.This island features a small "mountain" or elevation of some kind and a strange construction at the summit. This location of unapparent purpose is a way to open a communication channel with an otherworldly entity that regularly answered questions to an ancient human civilization. There are few reports of this location or maps that include the island. Finding out about this place can be a quest of itself. But perhaps the knowled...

285 The Sage from Beyond (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 285 The Sage from Beyond. Notice that it is necessary to have Photoshop 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 been r...

284 Red Beach Cove (Patreon Exclusive)

Hey there, Denizens of the Tower

Closing the month here with a city map. This is Read Beach Cove, a place settled originally by pirates and corsairs. It benefits from a strategic position downstream. Over its 200 year history, it has withstood lots of attacks thanks to the natural defense from the rocky formations that surround the settlement. Access has been restricted to water only where they have superiority. Things are changing now, and fast, the current King of Pirates is rapidly c...

283 Cave Complex + PSD file - 48x30

Hi there! Denizens of the Tower!

I recently did this underground cave complex map. There is a shallow stream of spring water passing through the place. Someone has split the stream artificially to water a fungi farm. The rest of the complex features sparse details but it is clear that the place is a mining place of sorts. There are a few oil lamps, tools, wheelbarrows, etc.

You'll find the map pack below. It includes gridded, ungridded, labeled, and unlabeled versions of the map. ...

Short Adventure - New Hindell Ruins

Travelers!

So I recently played Dark Souls I and had a great time playing through New Londo Ruins. the place is awesome and it left a lingering impression that I wanted to turn into a short adventure. Now, sure, this location is very different and so is the plot. I just wanted to share the main inspiration for this one. In the short adventure, a vengeful hag poisons a community with a curse that makes them behave like destitute deranged zombies as they slowly die from malnourishment (si...

Do not mess with the syndicate!

Hey Travelers, We wrote this adventure and made a map to go with it!

Silberstein District is one of the poorest neighborhoods in a large dwarven settlement, Ivory City. Most people are poor and work long hours to make ends meet. Quality of life is a non-concept in Silberstein. The large market in the square gives the impression of a regular place of business, but forbidden deals hide in the shadows. A criminal guild called the Juniper Syndicate controls all illegal activities and call S...

280 Castle fo the Sun and Moon - Patreon Exclusive

Hey, Denizens of the Tower!

I've been working on this interesting one-shot module. An excerpt:  

"Long ago, in a wood-elf settlement, a half-elf was born; the fruit of a love once strong. Ithilia, an elven maiden, had a son with Darrel Sunburst, a human adventurer who helped the elves. He aided them to get rid of orcs and goblin vermin who wanted to put an end to their lives in the forest. Darrel was just passing by but could not stay idle when facing such atrocity. Plus, the...

279 The Pondering Elemental

Traveler!

Talking about a stranded earth elemental in the material plane. It arrived there through a process akin to spontaneous teleportation which often occurs with the elemental planes. The plot thickens when the earth elemental arrives to a strange crystal mine. The crystals are naturally imbued with psychic properties and at first help the elemental communicate with local miners. However, the crystals did more than that. The miners are now enthralled and obey every instruction they...

A quick development about the current multimap project. It is going to comprise four maps. Also, we've changed the lore so it is not a dwarven guild or construction. The location is home of a multi-racial criminal guild in the sewers of the city. The next and last map include a lower version with a water filtration system and the lair of yet another faction. This map feature the same general architecture of the previous one as it is intended to be a continuation o...

The appropriate labels are not included for now since the script is not finished yet but I will include the rest of the final labeled versions when I release this multimap project.
