175 Forest Cabin

A werewolf is trying to survive incognito in the deepest part of the forest. He lives with his five year old daughter who is also afflicted with lycanthropy.

Maybe the nearby town is looking for them. Maybe other werewolves are forcefully making them join their pack. Maybe the adventurers will pity them and help them survive in the forest.

This is my latest map pack and adventure idea.

175 Forest Cabin (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 175 Forest Cabin. 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 rasterized to re...

175 Forest Cabin

Good day, Denizens of the Tower!

Last month I did an outdoors map that had the option of using it with or without the roof and people loved it a lot. So here is another. I included a version with and without roof. I'm positive this is particularly convenient for online games through roll20 or similar systems.

I also included some background lore for the owner of this pretty forest cabin. It is a werewolf with a little daughter trying to survive incognito in the woods. The little girl is ...

OP3 - The King's Scepter

Hello, friends, supporters, Denizens of the Tower, and random internet people.

Here's my third installment of the one-page-dungeon series. The objective is to create self-contained adventures/dungeons with all necessary to spawn fun adventures in a single page. This one is about a royal scepter with which one can claim right to the kingdom's throne. It's under the sea but you're free to assume it's flooded or not.

Also, this is going to be my entry for this year's One-Page-Dungeon...

174 The Scarlet Citadel

Here's a magocracy ruled city, the Scarlet Citadel. A city ruled by nine representatives of the nine important magical houses. The city is in the crater of a dormant volcano. The only way to get to the Scarlet Citadel is with teleportation methods using the sigil circles in the port of entry.

If you're in need of a magocracy, magical college or arcane university, this is a great choice.

If you have no use for the legend, title and lore, I also included cropped versions of the illustrations with none of that. You can then repurpose this city as pretty m...

Scorpion Ship

Hey I just shared this battle ship with scorpion ballistae on top. A perfect addition to any water faring adventure.

Aye Capt'n!

173 Scorpion Ship

Hello Denizens of the Tower

I've posted some maps lately with water content: bays, beaches, islands, among others. It was high time to add another battleship to the collection.

This is a two deck ship with two scorpion ballistae installed on top. It should make for an awesome resource for maritime encounters with siege weapons. This illustrations is meant a complement to previous illustrations and that's why I did not write any lore for this one.

Thanks for your continuous support....

172 Golem Laboratory

High Preacher Caroll just became the most important priest in the city, he is so eloquent that the number of converts to his faith is already becoming a threat to other religions in the city. Behind curtains, the High Preacher is the head of an evil cult.

This is a cult's lair they use as a laboratory to create flesh golems. I included a few NPC's and background lore in the PDF about this. It's a whole sect of cultist that use their own follower base to provide parts for flesh golems. Should b...

172 Golem Laboratory

Good day Denizens of the Tower!

Here's another underground complex. This is a cult's lair they use as a laboratory to create flesh golems. I included a few NPC's and background lore in the PDF about this. It's a whole sect of cultist that use their own follower base to provide parts for flesh golems. Should be a fun adventure/ encounter.

As usual there's options with no number labels and printer friendly. Hope all of you are having a nice day. I'll take a few days off because my birthday...

171 Griffinholm

 Griffinholm is one of the most important settlements in the kingdom’s northern territories. It was originally settled right on the Ardent River, which meanders south until it reaches the sea. Griffinholm started as a non-important farming town but grew in size and population rapidly. The soil in the region is fertile and the proximity to the river gave Griffinholm an advantage against nearby farming hubs. After a few generations, Griffinholm became the center of production in the otherwi...

171 Griffinholm

Hey there, Denizens of the Tower

I've created this excellent town full of adventures and lore. Be sure to read that PDF for some adventure seeds and ideas you can use for this town or for any other settlement in your own games. There's plenty of them, most of them aimed for low-level adventurers.

This illustration comes with a layout I tried last month that received very nice comments. I am particularly pleased with how this one looks. I think it's one of my best.

Hope you guys are...

Kuo-toa kidnapping fishermen

Hey Traveler

A tribe of kuo-toa fanatics are kidnapping fishermen to sacrifice them in the name of their demented goddess the Sea Mother. Hopefully there will be a group of brave adventurers willing to go and rescue whoever is still alive. For a handsome reward, of course.

170 Kuo-toa Lair

Hello Denizens of the Tower.

I love kuo-toa!  So I wrote an encounter for them and drew a lair. There is an insane altar to the Sea Mother which is their deity inside. And some interesting background lore and adventure hooks for this in the PDF.

Thanks for your continuous support and love for cartography and adventures.

Elven Tower

Ship Graveyard

Something really dangerous is going on near a small uncharted island a few days northwest. There seems to be a giant monster that comes from the depths of the ocean only to tear ships to splinters and leave. It doesn't even attack the sailors, eat or steal anything. It only destroys the ships.

Some say it's a giant turtle, some say it's a sea dragon. Only a few people have managed to sail back to port with the craziest of stories. What could it be?

169 Dead Pirates

Hello Denizens of the Tower

Hope you guys are having an awesome April. It's always a great month for me because my birthday is coming up :D (April 14th)

The illustration is a hidden cove in a treasure island. There are a few capsized ships in the cove. What's going on is that a dragon turtle guards the island unless it is bribed with gold and treasure. Something pesky adventurers would not know. I included some adventure background and ideas to use this lore. It is actually a low level a...

168 Ransacked Crypt

There are never enough tombs and crypts to explore. But this one, oh, this one has a twist. There's a crippled lich in this lair, and there's also a colony of formians (ant-folk) trying to sack the crypt. When adventurers arrive they find the place a mess because undead and formians are having an all-out confrontation.

Who will the PCs help?

Will they just watch and see who wins?

Will they answer the lich's plead for help?  

Find that out and more in your next RPG game.<...

168 Ransacked Crypt

Hello, Denizens of the Tower!

I've recently finished this cool illustration of underground crypts. There are never enough tombs and crypts to explore. But this one, oh, this one has a twist.

When adventurers arrive they find the place a mess because undead and formians are having an all-out confrontation.  Who will the PCs help? Will they just watch and see who wins? Will they ...

The Cloud Giant's Trial

Hello Traveler!

This adventure in particular ties to Storm King's Thunder, in case you are playing that aventure and are just about to reach the Eye of the All-Father. This adventure is about acquiring a powerful magic item or important information from the cloud giant 's trial.

I also included the stat block for the Cloud Giant Golems in the bottom chamber. Great encounter for high level characters.

167 Cloud Giant's Trial

Hello Denizens of the Tower. I went back to an older style and created this isometric dungeon location. I also wrote a high level adventure to go with it, but you can adapt it to any level with ease.

This adventure in particular ties to Storm King's Thunder, in case you are playing that aventure and are just about to reach the Eye of the All-Father. This adventure is about acquiring a powerful magic item or important information from the cloud giant 's trial.
