Campsites Token Pack!

Hello, Denizens of the Tower.

I've created a new token for outdoors campsites. It includes a ton of different tokens and accessories for creating campsites. I also included "night" variations for the tokens. This pack does not include backgrounds but I added the ones I did for the Jungle pack. Those are recycled, the rest is new content. You can create cool camps on Roll20 or Photoshop. If you do not know yet how to do this, I created two tutorials for that, watch here: 2018-02-28 19:45:25 +0000 UTC View Post

Captain Avery’s Treasure

A pirates' adventure!

It's about a famous captain from the last century who managed to strike a truce with other 5 captains. They joined their fleets and were feared by all. They settled a pirate paradise in an uncharted island and ruled the seas for some years. In the end, as expected, the revolution ate itself. The pirate captains turned against one another and the dream faded. Captain Avery managed to steal the other pirates' treasure and put it in his flagship. But before he could escape, ...

159 Captain Avery’s Treasure (photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 159 Captain Avery’s Treasure. 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 ra...

159 Captain Avery’s Treasure (Exclusive)

Hello My friends, Denizens of the Tower. February's end is upon us. Since it's 3 days short compared to the rest of the months, I'm releasing this map today and a token builder pack tomorrow.

Now the adventure I wrote here is a slight rip off of Uncharted 4 video game's plot. Super cool if you haven't played it ;)

I'm playing D&D on Greyhawk Stream

Hello my friends.

I'm currently playing in the "Return to Greyhawk" stream. It's a game where we're replaying classic dungeon crawls. Currently we are playing The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth.

I'm playing a 10th level cleric. Feel free to show up and say high on twitch. I'll be playing in this game every monday evening.

The Hidden Bloodline

The kingdom is built on a lie.

The truth is about a cruel king whose elder brother is imprisoned in an old jail for several decades. The old prince is the rightful king but his memories were erased. If the PCs find a way to restore the memories they might have the strongest tool to change the balance of power in the kingdom.

This is a high-stakes adventure hook that can fuel a revolution. Pledge today and get access to this and more awesome mini-adventures and tons of maps.

158 The Hidden Bloodline

Good day, Denizens of the Tower!

Here's another dungeon map. I included a file with specific dimensions for Roll20 and other VTTs.

The attached PDF is something I had not done in a while. The background lore is written as if it were said by an NPC. It's a very different way to convey the story and an awesome tool for DMs to just read as-is, or paraphrase to adapt to the adventure.

The story is about a cruel king whose elder brother is imprisoned in an old jail for several decades. ...

Explore a blood-worshipping cult in this adventure.

It's the headquarters of a blood worshipping cult under a big city. I fleshed out the specific for the cult and described the three leaders. I think it is a fun adventure for low-ish levels. In the same way, an evil party could become cultists and abduct peasants to drink their blood.

Adarask, an alchemist and mathematician, has derived incredibly complex formulae to analyze a subject's blood and determine the ancestry quotient. This figure is supposed to mean the purity of the subject's blood...

157 The beating Heart Cult (Exclusive)

Good evening my friends. Denizens of the Tower.

This is a big dungeon! It's the headquarters of a blood worshipping cult under a big city. I fleshed out the specific for the cult and described the three leaders. I think it is a fun adventure for low-ish levels. In the same way, an evil party could become cultists and abduct peasants to drink their blood.

The illustration is big enough to be used in Roll20 or similar. I included unlabeled versions and a B/W version as usual.

156 The Educated Gnoll

Gnolls are often hand-waived as ferocious, cruel, sadistic creatures. And rightfully so. I did not come here to tell you that this isn't so, but I tell you that there is one of them who is more intelligent and creative than the rest. And he came up with the interesting idea of threatening people for their money, instead of straight up killing them for it. A common idea amongst men, a ground breaking discovery for gnolls.

This mini adventure is made public thanks to the awesome support from my ...

Want an excuse to play an amnesia game?

I've been thinking lately about the clichéd game-type where PCs have amnesia or even players that come up with the oh-so-original idea of an amnesia-stricken character. Well in this adventure, the PCs just recently fought an  aboleth who escaped with their memories of the last 3 or 4 days.  PCs find themselves in the middle of an unknown location with no recall of why they are there or what happened.

The way this is set, you could run this as a one-shot and be done with it, or drop ...

155 - Amnesia Underground

Hello my friends, Denizens of the Tower.

Here's another big dungeon / underground location. Like last one, it is based in an old module map designed for OSR dungeon crawl games. There's the usual versions and also a 4 part split to import in Roll20 at full resolution. Each part with its dimensions in the file name.

Now about the attached adventure. I've been thinking lately about the clichéd game-type where PCs have amnesia or even players that come up with the oh-so-original idea of an...

A minotaur threatens the safety of Arendelle

The king of Arendelle made a terrible mistake and angered his wife who turned out to be a witch. She cursed the king's first male son and turned him into a minotaur monster that eats virgin maidens. (Just like the mythological one). Once a month the minotaur claims either one or five maidens to eat. The king is reluctant to kill the monster because as his son, it is the only heir to the throne of Arendelle. An interesting adventure with many combat encounters and a big maze-y dungeon...

A dark network underneath the city!

Traveler!

The great city is under the yoke of a drow criminal guild. Matriarch Lady Knuckles saw to it that her underground network was also connected to the Underdark. Six caves in the complex were expanded downwards.

This is a different kind of map. It's the underground system of a metropolis. The sewage system is used for the guild's advantage. They also expanded it with a network of caves interconnected with the sewer hubs and the basements of their safe houses.

153 Undercity Network

Denizens of the Tower!

The city watch has spent tons of resources in the past few months in order to map the underground network of sewers and caves under the big city. Good men died in the process of creating this map.  We do not even know if it is accurate or if the drow lairs are where they appear.

Eye Tyrant's Dream

Hello traveler, a recent add to our collection of RPG adventures is here.

The adventure lore elaborates on the current tribute arrangement between a farming settlement and the eye monster that secretly claims the region its realm. While this situation is not ideal, it continued for years with apparent peace until the beholder had a powerful dream and became an undead monster.

After that it became a very real threat to the balance of the kingdom. This adventure idea is appropriate for hig...

152 Eye Tyrant Lair

Good day my friends, Denizens of the Tower.

I have always have a fascination for aberrations and beholders. Thus I always enjoy mapping their lairs and writing about them, this is the lair of a beholder that recently became a Death Tyrant.

Map 40 - Skyward Hold (Free)

Hello my friends, Denizens of the Tower.

One of my patrons, Rick, noticed that two maps were missing from my compilation posts. Map 39 and 40. The 39th was an  exclusive work that I can't post here for copyright reasons. I have no clue why I included it in the numbered series but it is what it is.

Number 40 is the one you see above for whatever reason it slipped my schedule and was never posted here. So I'm adding it here for free. There is a little background lore I wrote in an art...

Good day traveler, allow me a minute to show you my wares.

Councilman Leonard Ohara is a a man with greed. Greed for power and influence. This man runs an impromptu mercenary guild that is more like a distribution of assignments business. The adventure features background lore and adventure ideas about him and a description of his manor.

This lore and adventure ideas are appropriate for low level parties. Pledge today and gain access to countless adventures and illustrations of fantastic...
