Return to Greyhawk!

We're live in our weekly Greyhawk game with an amazing DM. If you love the  setting and want to reminisce old editions hop along. (we're playing 5e though)

A retired knight now lives near the forest...

So I was illustrating this pretty house near the forest when I decided I could try something new. This illustration comes in two versions, with and without roof. It's the first time I do this, I know it's not a game breaker but it's something I had not tried. I also included the roof files individually for people who play in Roll20 or so.

The PDF lore is about former knight Lou Gartin, who now lives near the edge of the forest breeding warhorses for wealthy buyers. 

166 Forest House (photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 166 Forest House. 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...

Hello, Denizens of the Tower.

The Dwarven Throne

Traveler

The location described here is an underground throne room with its adjoining areas. The location is suitable for a dwarven, gnome, or drow settlement. Or other similar inhabitants of the Underdark with organized societies. The illustration is lightly inspired in Gauntlgrym, a dwarven city in the Forgotten Realms setting.

Most of my releases come in PDF format like you see above. The exception is  map often packs and one-page-dungeons.

One-Page-Dungeon #2 - The Well of Knowledge

Hello, Denizens of the Tower.

It has been a really long time since I created a One-Page-Dungeon. That one is here.

I came up with the idea of doing one-page-dungeons once or twice a month and have them be in a parallel numbered series, this would be number 2. These illustrations are self-contained dungeon crawl ideas with map, lore, and description.

Let me know what you think of stuff lik...

Good day travelers!

164 Cobyr Square

Good Day! Denizens of the Tower.

Discover Cobyr Square, a small logging town that has grown fast in the past ten years. The person in charge, Lord Jason Cobyr, accepted a grant from the council to become the town's mayor and erect a wall around the town as it grew in importance. Ten years later, Lord Cobyr is in trouble and unable to repay the debt to the council. He is inclined to believe he was conned to accept an impossible to pay contract.

Ever wondered how hags create her own covens?

Hello Traveler

Elven Tower just released a cool adventure idea about an evil hag who moves close to a growing settlement to form her own coven. It goes about the happenings in town and the evil deeds of the hag.

Hags are truly terrible evil creatures. Frolic Town will surely be in need of valiant warrior willing to risk it all for the safety of the peasantry.

162 Hag's Lair

Hello, Denizens of the Tower

I did a hag lair almost a year ago. It was one of my earliest isometric maps. I decided to revisit the idea and also add some interesting story to come with it. Here the lore is about a night hag that formed her on coven over the course of a little more than a decade.

Due to her nature, she destroyed plenty of people's lives in the process. Be sure to read it, it's a cool story and it really goes into the evil doing of hags.

161 - Fountain of Life

Hello, Denizens of the Tower!

I was looking at my map collection and realized I had never drawn an underground location with greenery and vegetation, other than fungi. So I decided to draw this underground location with a magical fountain. The fountain has healing powers or really, any power the DM wants to give it for plot reasons. As stated in the attached adventure idea, the cave is located in the deepest part of a great forest.  Sentient fey creatures protect the places from would-be ...
