November's Sci-Fi Preview - The Wreck of the HLS Turnstone

Hey everyone,

For November's SciFi map, we present the Wreck of the HLS Turnstone, a 30x40 map depicting a haunted space hulk map, drifting through the void of space.

You'll get interior and exterior views (two different interior styles), plus a non-haunted standard spacehulk version, if you don't want creepy lighting etc.

This will be in the November reward bundle for those on the sci-fi tier :)

This will be in the November reward bundle :)

November's Alt-Version Preview - St Gerrin Museum

Hi everyone,

We had a nice weeklong trip away for my 40th birthday, so the posts for this month are a little shuffled from their regular dates, but here's the preview of the Alt-version. The winning suggestion was to create a museum - something that has been asked about for ages! 

It's a large place, with a ground floor, first floor, small cellar and a rooftop, and we've also done a night version (when else would you do a heist?)

It has natural history exhibits, ancient...

Halloween - 90% Mega Bundle & Modular Kit

Hey everyone

We had planned to start this next week, but we figured why not start it now, and give you a little more time to prep your Halloween games.

Our Halloween sale is now on at DrivethruRPG.

We've put together a Mega Bundle with over 70 Halloween maps, and taken 90% off. This discount will run until the end of October.  Do...

Some news :)

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to let you know that we're taking a week off - it's Joe's 40th birthday on Wednesday, so some previews for maps will be coming a little later.

But, that said, they're pretty exciting maps! The winning alt-version, by just 1 vote, was St Gerrin Museum, and we've already made a start on it. It's going to be so fun, and we'll be doing a night version too, for heist purposes, but also for when the exhibits inevitably come to life...

November's Alt-Version Poll

Hey everyone

Thanks to those that suggested an idea for the alt-version of the Ghosthunters office

We've picked out six options for the alt-version - and they are:

St Gerrin Museum - animal skeletons, old artefacts, stuffed creatures - and odd collections in the basement.

St Gerrin Bank - a large bank with rooms filled with clerk de...

Thrones & Bones Map Pack 2

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that our second bundle of maps for the Thrones & Bones Campaign setting by our friend Lou Anders is now available at DTRPG.

It's a bumper bundle - 22 maps, many of which are huge! It's a really diverse collection, and the bundle has a massive discount (which is only so heavily discounted for 2 ...

Third Map Ideas please!

Hey everyone,

For November's Third Map, we're going to randomly pick from your suggestions.

We'd like you to suggest a fantasy map inspired by the word spirit. What map do you think of when you hear that word? 

Put your ideas in the comments (as many as you like that are related to the word), and we'll randomly select one in a few days time. The map should be a single level map (although we can change that if we think it works better)

Good luck! 2021-10-08 10:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post

November's MotM Preview - The Office of the St Gerrin Ghosthunters

Hey everyone,

We're really looking forward to sharing this preview. As it's Halloween this month, we wanted something appropriate, but also something pretty fun and unique.

So, introducing The Office of the St Gerrin Ghosthunters - a group of 4 eclectic characters who operate out of an old tavern in the city - thanks to the work of a gnome artificer they're able to trap ghosts and spectres in a ghost-proof vault in the basement, travelling to any hauntings in a old hearse.  2021-10-07 10:03:23 +0000 UTC View Post

October's Rewards sent!

Hi everyone,

We're really to say that we've sent your rewards to you (check your inbox), and that the Old Kingdom project is complete! 12 maps, 12 adventure supplements, a regional map with everything - it's a bumper project, and Baroncliffe Castle finishes it nicely.

Of course there's also the maps from the Megadungeon project too (forgot to take preview pic of the sci-fi, but they're good!)

We'll do a schedule in the next day or so, but effectively we're back to our regula...

October's SciFi Preview - Eyno Bleside Docking Bay

Hey everyone,

For October's Sci-Fi map, we decided to revisit Eyno Bleside and add a huge 60x60 map that adjoins to the market and cantina maps. And what better location than a docking bay, from which you may need to make a speedy escape!

We've also done a 50x50 map of the lower level, with storage rooms and workshops etc, so plenty of space for adventure!

MotM Preview - Baroncliffe Castle

Hi everyone.

It feels like it's been ages since we've shared a preview with you all, and that's because this month, with the conclusion of the Kingdom project, we've done a multi-level giant map, which has taken the 'slots' for the MotM, the alt and the Third map.

Baroncliffe Castle is a huge ruin with extensive dungeons underneath. Three of the levels are 50x50 (and one is 40x30), depicting a ruined castle, and creepy dungeons beneath, home to a witch (or any suitable villain!) 2021-09-21 10:15:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Thrones & Bones KS - Map Pack 1 on Sale now!

We're really happy to say that the rewards are starting to go out, including a brand new set...

October's Schedule

Hey everyone,

October's schedule is going to be a little different!

As you might recall, for the last 5 months we've been working on The Kingdom Project - where each MoTM, variant and Third Map was a location on a large regional map (The Old Kingdom), with supporting adventure supplements.

October is the 6th and final month for The Old Kingdom, and we'll be mapping the ruins of Baroncliffe Castle.

This is going to be a big map, and so, as we explained ...

September's Mega Maps Preview

Hey everyone,

Here's previews of the two megamaps that will be in September's reward bundle (coming very soon!) - both the fantasy one and the sci-fi one.

For Brooklime Gorge, we've come to a bend in the river with a ruined keep on the cliffs above. There's an underground element too - the ruined cellars, with various ways in.

September's Third Map Preview - Mandible Hill Giant Ant Nest

Hey everyone,

At the start of the month we asked you for suggestions for what's in the hills for our Kingdom project, and we had some great ideas. One suggestion was a giant ankheg/ant nest, and that overlapped with something we had thought about doing for a while, so this seemed like a great opportunity.

Of course, we couldn't just do a little ant nest..  So, we've gone for four 30x30 maps - a surface map, and then three deeper levels riddled with tunnels, chambers and final...

September's Alt-Version preview - Sewer Shanty Town

Hey everyone

The winning idea in the recent alt-version poll was to turn the mansion dungeon into a shanty town set in a sewer. It's a very useful setting - all manner of different reasons it might exist, who might live there, and why the party might need to visit.   We'll also be giving a non-shanty version of the sewer, in case you just need a sewer..

September's SciFi Map Preview - New Atami Arcade

Hey everyone,

We decided to go back to New Atami this month for some more cyberpunk goodness!

New Atami Arcade is a great location for an encounter - neon lights, flashing screens and even a dance-dance you use to settle any territorial disputes you have with the local cyborg gang..

September's Alt-Version Poll

Hey everyone,

We asked for suggestions regarding the alt-version of the dungeon level of Beaugrey Hall

We've picked our favourites, plus one of our own . The options are:

Sewer Shanty Town - an old sewer system, now home to tents and shacks belonging to refugees and outcasts

Gnoll Lair - demonic temples, holdin...

September's MotM Preview - The Ruins of Beaugrey Hall

Hi everyone!

We're into the penultimate month of the Kingdom project - and this month's MotM is the Ruins of Beaugrey Hall (circled near the bend of the river, beside a bridge).

Beaugrey Hall was first mentioned in our Forest Necropolis adventure supplement, a notable family with many members buried in the cemetery.

This month's map is a two level 30x30 - a ruin on the surface, and ...

August's Third Map - Suggestions please!

There's only one Third Map location left on our Kingdom Project that needs an idea - and it's the question mark in the hills in the middle of the map

We'd like to hear your suggestions for what should be there. Remember the Old Kingdom is a ruined place, but there are monstrous settlements, old ruins, secret places and more. What should we have here in the hills?

Your idea shou...
