256 The Hidden Intelligence (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 256 The Hidden Intelligence. 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 bee...

256 The Hidden Intelligence

Heya! Denizens of the Tower

Good month April is, because my birthday is just around the corner :D

Now here's a goodie. The map is a large underground cave complex with a small bit of construction on the northern side, a temple of sorts. Now the background lore is something else. I've been toying with stories of emergence of intelligence. Situations when a seemingly un-intelligent being or group of beings acquires consciousness and a new form of mind emerges. Now the story here is ...

Facing a Cult of Atropus Worshipers

This is the hideout of an evil cult. It's part of a larger complex of chambers and tunnels under a cemetery. Some of the locations were intended to be mausoleums actually.

The cult worships an occult entity from the void they only know as the "Black Star", but the high priests know better. It is a thing called an Atropus. It is believed to be the remains of a stillborn god, then resuscitated with evil necromancy. The cult's endgame goal is to redirect the course of the Atropus orbit so ...

255 Worship of the Atropus

Heya! Denizens of the Tower!

It's the end of March and tomorrow the day of bad jokes. Here's a large dungeon where an evil cult have their hideout. It's part of a larger complex of chambers and tunnels under a cemetery. Some of the locations were intended to be mausoleums actually.

The Town by the Corrosive Lake!

Would you live by the lake? probably yes. Would you live there if the town were remote enough almost no visitors came? maybe. But would you live there if the lake water were acidic enough to kill a person in seconds? Hell no...

But some folks call this place their home. They have ways to neutralize the acid in the water for drinking and are good enough fishermen to sustain the community. Oh, did you hear about the only gnome in town who is building a submersible vessel in order to find ...

Captain Rutaga's Secret Stash!

An infamous tortle sea captain named Rutaga is said to have a secret hideout where he stashes all his treasures. Rumor has it that the old captain's ego is so grand that the treasure room features a throne in the middle from where he commands his crew surrounded by piles of gold and valuables. Whether there is any truth to it, no one knows for sure. The hideout is supposed to be in a remote island whose location is a wall-guarded secret. Only the captain himself and his first mate know where ...

252 House of the Elders + Asset Pack (Exclusive)

Hey y'all

Ok here's something a little out of the ordinary. I created this illustration of a small hamlet in the forest. Now the illustration comes in two modes. Without roofs (shown above) and a variant with roofs and no interiors showing. I did this a while ago and people loved the option of showing the town from above and then a zoom in into the houses. Also there's a gridded version.

However, I decided that the whole thing was also usable as separate assets. So I've included e...

A crypt infected by growing crystals!

Adventurers Wanted!

There is a rumor that the family crypt is unusable since a series of strange crystalline formations emerged from the floor and walls. The crystals are more resilient than expected, some of them cover entire hallways and doors. But worst of all, obscure creatures now roam the expanses of the crypt. Shadows near the walls, corpses which should not move, and the worst, a pulsating sound like that of a heart beat. The dark pulsation comes from the deepest part of the und...

250 Water Mill

So I wanted to make a good or at least mechanically passable mill map. This is a water mill. I'm by no means an expert in mechanical systems but I wanted the machinery in this map to make sense. So I researched a little on how actually mills work and went for a two-stepped milling process with this one.  It's supposed to more or less be feasible.

I'm of course open to criticism from people who actually know how this things work!

A cultist hideout map with plenty of adventure ideas.

Here's a cool cultist hideout or anyone else's hideout in a cavern complex next to an underground worship place. The location features an underground stream with plenty of options for visiting each area. The different tunnels and waterways offer a non-linear way to exploring this location. I also made use of some of the tokens from the recently released mansion token pack.

I release stuff like this with included lore and descriptions twice per week at the very least. Consider pledging t...

Hey there, Denizens of the Tower.

Here's a token/tile set for those crafty DMs that love to create their own locations with premade tokens and tiles.

There are 205+ tokens in total. This token pack is great to furnish castles, mansions, and general indoors locations.

Also, if you’re interested in learning how to create your own maps with this, I created two tutorials a while ago, one is ...
