IMPORTANT: UPDATE YOUR TIERS

Hey all!

The new tiers are now available for you folks to switch into in preparation for the April changes. We've had to leave making the new tiers until a little later in the month to avoid too much confusion from new patrons signing up this month expecting next month's rewards.

If you do not make the changes before April 1st you will be automatically charged whatever tier you are still in.

[Gallery] March Theme: Modular Caverns

Hey all!

For this theme we're making a whole bunch of modular tiles for you folks to build up your own caves and cavern complexes. We'll be starting with the core tile set for various twists, turns, connecting pieces and smaller rooms, which are available to everyone, including some example maps that we've made with the tiles.

We'll be releasing some larger feature room tiles for the Essentials and All The Things™ Tier, and making some more maps with those through the month.

Important: Our Patreon Tier Changes (April)

Hey all!

Big announcement about the changes we're making from April regarding our Patreon, we've eluded to this a few times over the last few weeks, and now we have everything in place that we can make an official announcement.

Everyone needs to watch this video.

I tried to keep it as short as possible, but there's a lot to talk about. Making big changes like this are never easy, particularly when folks disable a lot of the notifications from Patreon, we'll ...

Patreon Post Purge

Hey all!

You will notice that I have deleted nearly all the posts from the Patreon, with format changes, link changes, tier changes, and the like it was seemingly confusing for people to find where to download their content (the big banner that says "DOWNLOADS" for anyone curious). Even with the FaQ video folks seem to keep trying to download maps from the posts, which have broken links (as we ...

What A MAD Week #023: First look at March: Modular Caverns Theme

Hey all!

We're well under way with this months theme, making a whole bunch of modular tiles to make your own cavern maps. We're a little bit backwards this month as we'll be building the basic tiles and then making some maps directly with the tiles and assets we make, so they'll come a little later for those who just want maps and not tiles. For now, enjoy what we're putting together and see how it works in Foundry.

Keep rollin' those 20s folks!

What A MAD Week #022: Strongholds Final Walkthrough and March Theme Announcement!

Hey all!

Last of the maps have been added, and we've done a final showcase of both these final maps and showing the ones released previously, but didn't have a Foundry walkthrough of. We've got some big maps done this theme, great for some attack and defend type encounters.

The Strongholds Foundry Pack has now been removed from the All The Things™ master list and we have sent out over Patreon PM the JSON link so you can install it at any time. Anyone joining the...

[Gallery] February Theme: Strongholds

Hey all!

So we finally got there and released the first big batch of maps for this theme, delays at the beginning of the month meant that these started to build up, so then when I came to put them all into Foundry with the Levels module.... man did it take a while!

For this theme we already have a pretty damn good collection of strongholds, forts and keeps, much larger maps than normal, with a number of multi-level maps (Foundry users can instantly switch between floors with the L...

We're not planning on doing any recreations...

[Gallery] August Theme: Dreaded Domains 2

Hey all!

Finally got a spare minute to upload the first maps of this months Dreaded Domains 2 theme, for our first set we have three maps for the jungle domain of Valachan. I'll be doing a showcase of the maps in this weeks What a Mad Week. This took a little longer to setup as I was fighting for ages trying to get the canopy stuff working in Foundry only to realise it doesn't do what I wanted it to, instead we're now using the Better Roofs module for our canop...

[Gallery] July Theme: Dreaded Domains

Hey all!

After a seemingly endless amount of tweaking to try and get the maps working how we wanted in Foundry, we've now got our first four maps up, two maps for the Indian themed jungle domain of Kalakari, and another two maps for the desert/ classic-Egyptian themed Har'Akir.

The Foundry JSON are now available in your Master Lists, and the maps have been uploaded to MyAirBridge! I'll do a run down on the maps for the What A MAD Week video at the end of ...
