June's Map of the Month Preview - City of the Shadow Sword

Hey everyone,

We've been hard at work on the next MotM.  We decided to go with a shadowfell theme, and after some brainstorming have come up with this - a ruined city in the Shadowfell with a deep river, and the home of the Shadow Sword.

This is a big ol' 60x60 map, so plenty of space to explore and fight!

The variants we've decided for this map are:

May's Third Map Preview - The Circle of Highsnow

Hey everyone,

For May's Third Map we decided to look back through the many, many suggestions we've received from you all previously - those comment threads are always packed with such good ideas.

We felt inspired by something Oliver (thanks Oliver!) had suggested - a snowy mountain top with a druidic circle and special tree.    

We've also done a couple of minor-varia...

Sci-Fi Preview - Swamp Planet

Hey everyone

First - pardon the name - it's just a placeholder!

As the regular MotM had a swamp theme, we felt inspired to do the same theme for Sci-Fi. And what's the first thing that came to mind? The iconic Dagobah! So, we present for your adventuring-pleasure - a 40x40 swamp planet map, complete with sunken 'X-Wing' proxy :)


We'll also be providing the map without the...

Delays in replying

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to do a general post about this.

I know that there's a fair number of you that have messaged within the last month or so to ask for re-sendings of claim-codes you've missed in December/Jan/Feb etc.

I'm sorry that I've got got round to doing those yet. The last month or so has been incredibly busy (jury service for 2 weeks was not friendly to self-employed artists that needed to squeeze the work in before and after!) and so all my time has been spent...

May's Alt-Version Preview - Haghome Creek

Hey everyone,

Time for a preview!

The winning idea for this month's alt-version was to turn the swampy graveyard into a bayou-style witch coven. That's a really fun concept, and we enjoyed making it. The rooms all have interiors, and there's roof overlays too.

This 30x60 map will be in the May reward bundle for everyone

50% Discount - Harshmoor House

Hey everyone,

It's been a tricky month or so for us in terms of getting some non-Patreon maps out. Jury service really compressed our schedule - we had to work on Patreon maps before Jury Service, and then were playing catchup afterwards for the next set of maps.  So, we've been pretty quiet over on DTRPG.

However, we've had time to release a new map. We know that many of you have requested creepy old houses that aren't abandoned or haunted, but merely isolated and a little s...

Cemetery of St Caligo of the Swamp is a 30x60 map featuring a long forgotten graveyard in a misty, swampy forest. The mausolea contain a few tombs, except for one which is occupied by the strange gravedigger who lives here.

Just a quick update

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give you a quick update. We've been pretty quiet here the past week - that's because Joe has Jury Service. It's a two week thing, and tomorrow is the second week. It's compressed our schedule, and made it harder to do various admin tasks. We know that we owe you lots of previews , plus there are some messages we need to get back too as well.

We'll try and do a preview catchup post tomorrow or Tuesday, but rest assured all the maps for April have be...

April's Sci-Fi Preview - Caldera Power Station

Hey everyone,

We're pretty excited to share this month's Sci-Fi map preview! We've got 'lava' as a bit of a theme this month (remember the MotM is the lava-filled Prison of the Gods?).   

We've designed a futuristic power station that's been built into the side of a volcanic caldera, with some buildings perched above the lava and other areas dug into the rock.

This 30x30 map will be in the April reward bundle for those on a Sci-Fi tier

Hope you like it!

April's Alt version Poll

Hey everyone.

Thanks for the suggestions for an alt-version of the Prison of the Gods map (the huge 30x60 lava prison!)

The alts we've picked are:

Frost Giants Throne - large building removed and replaced with a huge throne

Dark Forest Prison - the same prison structure, but now within a dark eerie forest setting

Phylactery Store in Dungeon - set within a built-dungeon, the resting place of a lich's phylactery View Post

March's Third Map Preview

Hey everyone,

As I said in a post the other day, some Photoshop errors caused loss of work and delays, meaning the planned Third Map has been bumped to next month.

Instead, we decided to take a previous map and make an alt-version of it.  Browsing through the recent releases we felt inspired to do something with the Bellow & Brew tavern - and we've turned it into Grandma's Cottage in the woods!

Alt-version preview - The Forest Gate

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the delay in getting this preview out to you.

The other day we had some serious Photoshop problems which resulted in loss of work and several days wasted - not only on the lost work but then also catching up with what had been lost.  It's rather knocked our schedule :(

So, the alt-version preview is a little late, but here it is.

If you recall, the winning option was to turn the tower into a gate/wall/defended position to guard a road fr...

Alt-Version Poll

Hey everyone,

We really loved the ideas people suggested for the alt-version of our Forest-Edge Tower, the MotM for March.

It was genuinely difficult narrowing it down to a handful of options, but we persevered and have done such a thing.

We've chosen:

  • A volcanic landscape, with the tower themed like the Orthanc, or a Dark Lord tower
  • A guard tower and gate - a gate and wall across the valley with a North-South road, and ...

March's Map of the Month Preview - Forest-Edge Tower

March's Map of the Month is pretty special, we think! The name is just a placeholder, but we're pleased to show you Forest-Edge Tower. A wizards tower built near the edge of a dark and forbidding forest. Do they guard the forest? Or watch for dangers?

The map is 30x50, and comes with interiors for each floor.   There's also a ruined tower version which includes a ruined cellar.

And then there's the variants - a h...
