Stonefall Haven Map Pack!

Hey guys!

Been working on this one for awhile, and I am happy to release Phase 1 of a new village location called Stonefall Haven. This quaint village is nestled against the base of a large cliff, with a beautiful waterfall cascading down into a river that bisects the town. A set of old ruins hints that this is not the first time someone has chosen to live here, but the remnants of that civilization are long gone and the location hosts a thriving settlement.

To d...

I am pleased to bring you another Illustration Support Pack, which includes [12] item illustrations, [4] landscape scenes and [8] NPC Portraits & Tokens.

This month's item illustrations were built on suggestions from y...

Goblin Tower Wagons | Vehicle Map Pack!

New Vehicle Map Pack!

This is my interpretation of the Goblin Tower Wagon depicted in the module, Rime of the Frostmaiden. There's no map in the adventure for the wagon, so I took some liberties in deciding its height and structure, creating [3] floors and a rooftop that can be accessed by a ladder, for ranged goblins wanting to fight from the top.

The map pack includes both PNG transparent tiles of each floor, as well as a stacked PNG tile that can be used for t...

June Fantasy Art Gallery Update!

Covert Art by Maria Monticelli

As you may know, I started a Fantasy Art Gallery initiative in 2024 to create a gallery of human-only artwork for DM's and Players to draw inspiration from for their games, whether it be for NPC's, PC artwork, BBEG, Creatures or whatever was most useful!

This month, the theme is Interesting Townsfolk that one might meet in a city, town or village in your campaign. The idea would be that these characters could serve ...

Crystal Dome | Shattered Obelisk Map Pack!

New Map!

This is my interpretation of the Crystal Dome from Phandelver & Below | The Shattered Obelisk module, though I've included a variant for people not using that module that could serve as a great boss fight, interdimensional location or other set encounter.

The map depicts a massive black marble sphere floating above a fleshy landscape in a colorful cosmic and alien setting. A long black marble bridge leads to the sphere, accessible by a glowing purple...

Elven Ruins Map Pack!

Hey guys!

We have another great collaboration with James RPG Art for a wonderful concept scene and animation on this great Elven Ruins map.

The map depicts an overgrown and long-forgotten set of elven ruins set in the woods. Once a proud and majestic community of the elves, this half-buried skeleton is all that remains of their fine buildings. Grass, dirty and vegetation claims what little remains ...

Patron Exclusive - Morvold Mini #4 - Dwarven Outpost Leader

May 1

Custom Sculpt by Corvinus Creations.

I am excited to bring to you the fourth Morvold Mini, an exclusive Patron-only benefit being offered to Tier 1+ Patrons moving forward -- the Dwarven Outpost Leader from the Bellhammer Mine Outpost map.

Each month, the plan is to bring you an STL file of a custom sculpted miniature for your table t...

Backlog Sprites & Promos | Seatower of Balduran

As mentioned last month, I've begun going back through the catalog of maps to create sprites and promo headers for older Map Packs to maintain consistency with how Map Packs have evolved over time.

So, here is the next backlog Sprite and Promo, for the Seatower of Balduran, a 3-Level map depicting the location in Baldur's Gate. Sara helped create a wonderfully fun representation of Ulder Ravenguard, Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate and Marshal of ...

Golden Dragon Monastery - Illustrated Scene

Illustration by Mondcuow

Each month, I try and pass along the generosity you show me by employing other artists to create a variety of illustrations, portraits, magical items and other works of art that can be used in your games at home, whether they be homebrew or official modules.

This month, I wanted to highlight one of those pieces -- the Golden Dragon Monastery with art by Mondcuow.

This was our interpretation of a Monastery located high in th...

As voted, June's theme for the Fantasy Art Gallery will be Mundanes and Interesting Townsfolk!

These will be NPC's that you can slot into your games and campaigns to serve as Interesting characters for driving plots, social encounters, shop merchants and corrupt nobles, etc...

Harper Guild Safehouse Map Pack!

Hey guys!

I'm happy to provide a couple of options for a Harper Guild Safehouse for those of you playing in the Forgotten Realms, or any other kind of base you may wish for in your own homebrew world/campaign.

One of your fellow Patrons mentioned that their party had defeated the Black Spider in LMoP and used the basic layout of the headquarters I'd built for that location, when their Harper PC took it over and wanted to make it into a safehouse moving forward. I...

Fantasy Art Theme for June!

I started working on commissioning artwork for a human-only Fantasy Art Gallery in January, 2024 and was able to commission artists every month through March, 2025.

In March, I quit my full-time corporate job of 22+ years to work on Morvold Press full-time, which meant giving up that additional line of income. Due to that, I had to put a pause on the Fantasy Art Gallery I was working toward, because it was just money out of my pocket (not monetizing it elsewhere) to commission artists t...

Morvold Scene | Blacksmith!

Scene by Ken Boledo, Portrait/Token by HIIDRA Studios.

Hey guys!

I'm excited to offer another Morvold Scene to you guys this month, to help improve levels of immersion for your games and give you a backdrop upon which you can hold social encounters, party discussions and more.

What is a Morvold Scene?

Sometimes the party wants to travel to a specific location (i.e. merchant, town council, mage tower, barracks, tavern, etc...), but you...

Town of Bremen Map Pack!

Hey guys!

Apologize for the double ping today, but I've been putting in the work and finally finished this monster of a map -- the Town of Bremen from several modules, including Rime of the Frost Maiden.

This map depicts the town of Bremen, one of the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale, with a few artistic liberties here and there to provide a little framing, but all of the important pieces should be present, especially within the village itself. The maps is a wh...

Announcing - Backlog Sprites & Promos!

I began updating the Map Pack posts a couple months ago, adding a Character Sprite with every pack that could be used for imagery or as a token, as well as a nicer header for the packs themselves.

I enjoyed this workflow and result so much, that I've engaged with another artist, Sara Pregel, who is helping me work through my backlog of maps to produce Sprites for all of them to help keep with the new aesthetic and provide some fun characters for you to use, if you happen to st...

Illustration - Assault on Gold Dragon Monastery!

I released the Gold Dragon Monastery and Gold Dragon Lair maps earlier this month and really fell in love with the location, so I've decided to have some supplemental materials created and work toward writing up a one-shot module for it. This will include illustrated scenes, an action illustration (above), some magic item illustrations (to be released later this month), NPC's and probably a new subclass around the monks at this monastery.

I wanted to share one of those...

Tunnels of the Deep Map Pack!

Hey guys!

This is my interpretation of the Tunnels of the Deep encounter from Phandelver & Below - Shattered Obelisk.

The map depicts a miles-long tunnel with [3] smaller, encounter maps at different stages of the journey to allow you to provide the party with a sense of travel and discover along the way. The regular map was designed to be played at 50 x 35, but I would likely play the map at 100 x 70 to provide more room for the encounters and the party to m...

Gold Dragon's Lair Map Pack!

I am excited to bring you Stage 2 of the recently released Gold Dragon Monastery map, an actual Gold Dragon's Lair set beneath the Monastery that you can use to develop larger-scale and higher-magic plots and narratives!

There are [2] entrances to the lair, a False Lair that through a cave mouth on the northeastern side of the stone pillar on the Monastery map, and a set of secret stairs that exist beneath the large golden dragon's head statue in the far easte...

Gold Dragon Monastery & Village Map Pack!

Sprite by Katsudon Art.

I'm super excited to share with you the Gold Dragon Monastery & Village, a tribute to the traditional monk monasteries located high in the mountains, as well as my love of kung-fu theater and that entire realm.

I grew up watching movies like Seven Deadly Venoms, Kid with the Golden Arm, 36 Chambers, Iron Monkey, Drunken Master 2, etc... I've always loved the depiction of monks training far away from society, completely devoted to honin...

An Illustrated Scene for the Oasis of Selu!

Illustration Art by Mondcuow.

I released maps of the Desert Oasis of Selu over a year ago, representing a massive encampment surrounding a large oasis amidst tall sandstone cliffs in the desert. The map has two main entrances and many different potential uses from a starting location, quest hub, character background location, resource center or combat location.

I'd commissioned Mondcuow to do an illustrated scene for this map, and I just wanted to share the end r...

Introducing Morvold Scenes!

Hey guys!

So, I'm always on the lookout for ideas on ways to provide you with more resources and ways to improve the level of immersion for your games. This month marks the beginning of a new offering called Morvold Scenes.
