275 Criminal Lair 1

Hey there travelers.

I present you a goodie in the making. This is a criminal guild lair with access from the sewers. It is the first of a 4 or 5 map pack I'm currently working on. Most of my releases are stand-alone publications but in this case we're working on a larger project. There is no PDF-lore release with this one because we'll wait until all of them are done to include a larger than usual (7000-8000 words) PDF.

Now, the map shown above is included with no labels or title...

274 Aldini's Chimera Lab (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 274 Aldini's Chimera Lab. 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...

274 Aldini's Chimera Lab - Patreon Exclusive

Denizens of the Tower!

Here's a cool map. A forest temple in the Feywild. Although it could be any forest area, really.

The lore is about a n evil mage named Aldini who built an eldritch device capable of merging two living beings. It works by placing to lifeforms in the crystal pods. By activating the machine, both of them are merged into one in the upper crystal sphere. So pretty much this is the plot of The Fly, but in a fantasy setting.

Thank you for your support this fa...

273 The Mines of Viarkanni (Patreon Exclusive)

Denizens of the tower.

Now this is an interesting map. The original idea pitched by one of my patron supporters. It is an old abandoned dwarven city. Descried as a ghost settlement. Of course that idea is awesome but since the map is from such a scale that individual buildings are not depicted, this could be used in many different ways.

Notice that there is color coding for three different depths within the city. Also, The name above is only a place holder name. This release inclu...

272 Riverside

Hey, traveler!

Riverside is a large-ish town which surrounds a river, hence the name. The town is one of the largest settlements in the province and is surrounded by many smaller towns and hamlets. Most of them agricultural settlements. Due to its advantageous position, Riverside seldom makes use of its forces and wall but it is good to know there is a protected place to seek refuge when times are hard. People in Riverside are superstitious and hold a moon festival during the full moon....

A cautionary tale for overachieving drow....

This is the sad but well known tale of Jysdar, the ambitious drow mage. Jysdar was a prodigy magic user with great ambitions for his future. His power was such that his very existence would one day grow to content with the matriarchal hierarchy of drow society. Jysdar was an expert in necromancy. One day, he decided to try the grandest achievement of his life and tried to create and bind an undead black dragon. He procured the remains of an already dead specimen and brought them to a temple t...

A rakshasa in disguise...

Stop! Traveler...

This tower belongs to a rakshasa named Mandodaris. He uses illusory magic to pass as a human mage. Mandodari goes as far as to use his advanced magic abilities to help the townsfolk from nearby communities. He does this to avoid suspicion and be left alone. His real goals consist of summoning and sometimes binding fiends to his will. Most of the time he just summons them and sets them free in the material world. His goals are not grand, nor does he have a master plan. ...

270 Mandodaris Tower

Hello Denizens of the Tower!

Here's an archmage's tower. The location is ambiguous on purpose. This can be a regular tower or an underground construction (your choice). The place belongs to a rakshasa named Mandodaris. He uses illusory magic to pass as a human mage. Mandodari goes as far as to use his advanced magic abilities to help the townsfolk from nearby communities.

What's worse than a beholder?

Well... a beholder who's mastered the art of polymorphing. Genorq managed to master the spell and replace one of its eye rays with polymorph. It can now take the unassuming form of a human tycoon who's taking over several businesses in the city. The first one he and his cult of worshippers took over was Wilhelm's Jewelry. They now control all the ins and outs of precious metals, jewels, and foreign coins.

Genorq is unlike others of its kind because he prefers an economic approach toward...

Late start this month!

Hi y'all, Denizens of the Tower

I am out of town and the internet and Patreon responsiveness here is very bad. I have everything here to continue posting as usual as possible but the page does not respond for me over here.

Because of this, I will delay map/adventure publications until June 12th when I return to my office. I will probably post a bunch of adventures in a row over from 12-20 June to make up for this.

Nothing to worry, I'll catch up with the usual schedule befor...

Save the gnomes!

Tar'Duk, is an orc unlike the others. He had a human grandfather no one knows about, not even himself. After three generations, he looks just like any other of his kind but he is far more intelligent. With his strength and brain, Tar'Duk climbed ranks and became a warband leader. They've had a streak of victories since he came in charge. The other orcs respect him and know that he is intelligent but the difference is so large that most clan members prefer to think that Tar'Duk is some kind of...

Mountain View Inn and the strange innkeeper!

This establishment is located in a large city and did not enjoy of an ample clientele until very recently. What changed? well, the innkeeper. No, actually, it's the same person. Or is it?

Now these are just rumors, but the gnome innkeeper has been behaving unlike himself on account of several vendors next to the inn. The gnome appears to have forgotten about them all and acts in strange unpredictable ways. However, the inn is more popular than any other hospitality business in the city,...

266 Crashed Nautiloid

A long time ago, the terrible conflict between illithids and gith ended up with a derelict nautiloid crashing into an abandoned location in the material plane. The nautiloid barely survived the forced landing. It entombed itself in the skirts f a large mountain range and was left undiscovered for eons. Only one of the illithids survived by hiding in a hibernation pod. The landing incident damaged the pod and the illithid remains trapped until its conscience found a way to break from the physi...

Veldanterra and its floating fortress!

This is Veldanterra. The most prominent feature of this grandiose city is the floating fortress. A chunk of land floats freely and moves around the city at a height of 500 feet. This is possible thanks to the work of a great wizard ho lived 200 years ago, he created a complex apparatus which uses affinity stones attuned to the Elemental Plane of Air. This creates a connection with the raw energy from that plane that allows the castle to float.

Something has gone amiss recently, however....
