Hey all!
Our second bunch of Twilight maps have now been released, and for those of you who were worried - there isn't a single glittery vampire in sight!
For this release, we wanted to provide more travel locations throughout a Twilight Forest, so we've created 8 different path, crossing, and thoroughfare maps. We've also created a mushroom forest variant of each!

A quick Patreon Poll for you all.
Would you be interested in us starting to flesh out our maps and themes with some MAD Cartographer Lore to tie maps and adventures together?
(Perhaps) unsurprisingly, Alex & Harrison have been DM'ing and writing adventures for almost 25 years between them, and this has involved an extremely fleshed-out world setting from several campaigns Alex used to run. With so much untapped lore and story sat gathering dust in a OneDrive fol...

Hey all!
The first batch of maps have been released for this month's Twilight theme, after it recently won our poll of the themes you'd like to see next. Let's get to it!
This scene features a wide river or expanse of lake, with a day and night variant that can be used as a mundane forest map. We've also included island variants in case you want some landmasses to break up the expanse of water.

Hey all,
We're happy to present our third, and currently final, base for this month's theme - The Mansion!
This map comes with a grass/forest variant, and an astral background for those players with access to pocket planes and the like! The tile-scroll module will cause the astral plane to slowly drift by in the background.
This keep has 3 separate floors as maps. The first and second floor are connected by a large central flight of stairs, and the...

The second of our template strongholds for this month's Build-a-Base theme has now been released! Where last week's Keep provided a traditional castle for your players, the Hideout presents the opportunity for them to make their corner of the world underground - Whether it's a secret complex hidden beneath a shady tavern, or a Dwarven Stronghold carved into the mountainside!

We're drawing close to the end of the year, and looking ahead to our plans for content for 2023. Currently Team MAD are hard at work on January's theme, which we'll be announcing at the end of the month as usual.
For February, we've decided to allow Patrons to decide which theme to produce next! These are the ideas we've narrowed it down to:
