After many days of wrestling with the many circles, 5' thick walls and styling to maintain the look, feel and atmosphere of the original work by Mike Schley, I'm happy to announce the release of the Cragmaw Castle Map Pack!
This Map Pack contains [3] different maps:
1. Cragmaw Castle (Ruined), as written/presented in Lost Mine of Phandelver.
2. Restored Cragmaw Castle (1st Floor)
3. Restored Cragmaw Castle (2nd Floor)
The Restored Cragmaw Castle was done in...

I am soon going to tackle Cragmaw Castle and finish the remaining [2] physical homes in Phandalin to round out that complete map and call it done. I will also be considering a "Restored" version of the castle, as well, since I've had some people mention their parties wanting to take it over and fix it up en route to other parts of the adventure or post-adventure.
If you have any specific interests, requests or ideas regarding that, let me know!
Best,
Jeff

It's a crazy end to the month, but there's another Map Pack!
For you desert dwellers, this piece may be helpful as a transition, destination or siege-based encounter.
Forged in fire, the soldiers of Demon Craw Keep have fought for decades against the constant press of the Eastern empire and its many demons of the desert. Razed and rebuilt time and time again, this keep safeguards the Western nations and offers safe passage for refugees seeking asylum from t...

Every month, I do a map of the "thing" you (the collective you) vote for the most, so I'm putting up this vote for a week to give everyone a chance to discuss and vote for the map(s) they want to see the most!
Please vote for the option you want to see most, and feel free to suggest alternative maps, if I've not included the one you'd like to see most.

Joren woke with a start. His heart was racing, skin slick with sweat.
Joren sat up with a groan before closing his eyes and took a few deep breaths. His stomach hurt, twisting and writhing like he’d eaten something rancid. Bringing a hand to his forehead, he forced his eyes open and glanced about the stone cell in which he sat.
It was bathed in blue light, emanating from what appeared to be some type of fungal grow...

Moonlight spilled over the woods, slipping through the trees and piercing the ground with translucent spears of light. A group of canvas tents nestled against an old, withered tree by the side of the road, shadows from the campfire dancing across their surface.
A light wind rustled through the trees and the contented snore of a well-fed barbarian rumbled from the largest of the tents.
Borralus sat upon a stump, gazing balefully toward the flap of the te...

Welcome to the Isle of Velkarta!
This is the Patron Voted Map for November!
A hidden port, where lives a throng of cutthroats, thugs, swindlers, thieves, swashbucklers, merchants, cheats, pilferers, ruffians, dregs, drunks, lunks and…maybe your party!
Large vessels must dock on the southern tip of the island, under careful watch by the Pirate Lord’s cannons, where one can rent dock space to offload and store their boot...

The old castle/keep has always gotten votes for the Patron Map of the Month, but never enough to earn first place. That said, I know there are many of you who need a good solid keep and so I'm working on a version similar to the attached castle. It won't be -quite- as large, as I won't be including the exterior wards/postern, but most all of the interior buildings will be represented and I plan to (eventually) do a lower level/dungeon, 2nd level and ramparts.
If there's anything specifi...
