River Garrison - Release

Greetings Adventurers!

After last week's release of the Town Market, we are shifting this week back over to the military side of things. As requested by this community's Patrons, I worked up a River Garrison to hold unwanted visitors at bay!

The base map releasing to the Barbarian tier takes place in the middle of the day. Once again you can see the sun shining it's light onto the river ...

Magic Shop Battle Map - Release (Free Map - 12x16)

Greetings Adventurers!

So while I'm sitting here thinking of ideas (and talking to Patrons on Discord) regarding the next set of themed Patron maps for the month of November, I had an idea for a small quick map! And if you know me, if I have an idea pop up, I just have to get it down onto paper so I jumped in and got to work on a Magic Shop! It still fits the theme for this month, particularly cities/towns, and as I'm sure your players are much like mine where they always ask "is there ...

Town Market - Release

Greetings Adventurers!

Coming back from my vacation, I definitely felt a sense of refreshment and quickly got back to work on the next set of maps! As the first release of the month focused on the military theme, this next release will shift over to the city/town theme as voted on by you! I didn't want to simply do another city streets battle map, so I decided to create something a little more lively!

The base map releasing to the Barbarian tier takes place in a very bright and su...

Forest Barracks Battle Map - Release (Free Map - 32x24)

Greetings Adventurers!

I have returned from my vacation refreshed and ready to get back to it! I figured why not start off with another free map for everyone to enjoy! So sticking with the military theme, I decided to dip a little into my recent vacation atmosphere and create a barracks that is pleasantly located in a beautiful forest. I wanted this to have an oasis-like feeling to it where training for military officers would take place because as we all know, they get the best accommo...

Military Checkpoint - Release

Greetings Adventurers!

This is the first of our November map releases with the Patron-voted theme of Military/War (and City/Towns coming up). As mentioned before, I will be taking a leave of absence for about a week, so I wanted to get something out prior to my departure. For this one, I went with a military checkpoint to start it off with!

The base map releasing to the Barbarian tier takes place in a cool autumn type of day where the colors are shifting in the trees and surroundi...

Sky Temple Battle Map - Release (Free Map - 32x24)

Greetings Adventurers!

So I worked on this Sky Temple map while I was working on the previous free map, the Water Temple Battle Map. I originally decided not to release this Sky Temple map but after thinking about it, I figured who knows, maybe someone is running a campaign that needed a sky temple and I could help them out by releasing it. I didn't plan on doing anymore work to this one so releasing it for free was the way to go just like the Water Temple. As you can see, this temple i...

November Map Theme


First off, I hope everyone had a very safe and fun Halloween! It's wild how fast this year has gone but it isn't over yet. As we move into November, our Patrons have spoken and the theme for this month has been a tie between Military/War and Cities/Towns! I was thinking about perhaps flipping a coin to make the final decision but thought, why not just do ...

Water Temple Battle Map - Release (Free Map - 12x16)

Greetings Adventurers!

After doing so many dark and spooky themed maps, I needed to step back into the light and doing something a bit more uplifting for my soul! So I dove into creating a beautiful scene hidden deep within a forest where rumors of a Water Temple reside. This particular spot in the forest is completely enshrouded by forest greens, vines, bushes, etc. The small lake in the center gets fed fresh water and is home to many fish looking to make a peaceful home. Hidden undern...

Halloween Forest Path - Release

Greetings Adventurers!

This is going to be the final Halloween themed map for the month of October! I pretty much jumped all in with the theme as this map includes the staple of Halloween: Jack-o'-lantern Pumpkins!

The base map releasing to the Barbarian tier starts us off in the middle of the day lost in a spooky forest. The path branches off into 3 different directions, giving the choice of which is the lesser of two evils. Trees, pumpkins, dirt, vines, rocks, webs and more poll...

Archduke's Throne Battle Map - Release (Free Map - 12x16)

Greetings Adventurers!

This up close and personal battle map takes us down into the pits of hell. I personally feel this would fit in the realm of Avernus, but that's just because I've really loved the Descent into Avernus campaign. I imagined this would be the throne room for an Archduke of the Nine Hells. The throne is sitting on top of a river of lava, veins of blood and souls that power it. The constant reach with magic to other planes can be seen through the various summoning circl...

November Map Theme

As I'm finishing up our Halloween themed maps for the month of October, I wanted to poll our community for ideas on November's theme. I'll list out a few, but if you have any suggestions not included, post them in the comments and I'll update the poll for others to view.

Ghost Ship - Release

Greetings Adventurers!

You guessed it, this release of Ghost Ship Battle Maps are free to my Patrons as we continue to build up on our map catalog. It actually makes me smile to be able to give my patrons a few extra treats to help show my appreciation for your support. I can't thank you enough as it means a great deal to me!

So this one definitely sticks to this month's Halloween theme and I couldn't pass up on creating my own version of a Ghost Ship. First off, I love pirates an...

Tortuga Tavern Battle Map - Release (Free Map - 32x24)

Greetings Adventurers!

I admit, this time I sort of ran astray from the Halloween theme of October, but I had this idea in my head and needed to see it come to life. As such, this will be part of my ongoing initiative to expand on our catalog of maps, so it is being released completely free to all! I know, you're so disappointed but in all seriousness, I do hope you enjoy this one.

Tortuga Tavern rests upon the shell of a colossal tortoise that slowly traverses the sea. As its loc...

Haunted House - Release

Greetings Adventurers!

Our next set of maps for the October Halloween theme is a classic Haunted House! I couldn't pass up on taking on the theme of a haunted house, it's pretty much a staple of horror so I threw down the gauntlet and made a little magic happen. 

This particular house has a very open floor plan as I'd love to see all kinds of battles take place in this once beautiful home. It's very much aged and has seen better days, so who knows what kind of shadows, specte...

Haruman's Hill Battle Map - Release (Free Map - 32x24)

Greetings Adventurers!

So there I was, working on a map for all of the Patrons, when I came up with an idea that may be beneficial to all. I currently DM for a Descent into Avernus campaign and could not for the life of me find a battle map for Haruman's Hill. So I figured I'd create one. Since there wasn't really any way I could create a variant version of this map, and it comes from one of the main D&D campaigns, I figured I might as well just let this one out for free to all!

Torture Chamber Battle Map - Release (Free Map - 32x24)

Greetings Adventurers!

Here is a Free Map for all! It comes in 4K resolution with and without a grid for your creepy environmental needs! 

Keeping with the Halloween theme for October, I decided to create a Torture Chamber. It comes complete with jail cells and an entire section devoted to the torturing of lost souls. Everything you see here is aged, tattered, and destroyed since the prisoners that are sent here receive no comfort. The chamber itself is equipped with dead bod...

Old Cemetery - Release

Greetings Adventurers!

This release of maps will be one of those free maps I've mentioned Patrons are going to benefit from as we continue to build up on our catalog of maps. Each tier will receive their respective maps, and will not be charged for it! Who doesn't love free?

So as I'm trying to keep with the spooky Halloween theme this month, I naturally had to create a cemetery to play in. I wanted to create something that was easy navigational while giving the DM a few opportuni...
