Hey everyone,
One of our patrons and followers on Twitter (a great user of our maps on AstralVTT) asked whether we had a suitable map for a Swamp Hag. We had some suggestions, but nothing perfect, and so we thought it would be a good idea to make one!
So, here it is. Deep in a swamp filled with giant trees, a ramshackle hut built against one of them. Reachable only...

Hey everyone,
Siobury Windmill was very well received last month, and many of you asked about us adding to the Siobury set and extending the map. We thought that would be a fun thing to do for the Third Map, and so we've created Siobury Farm, a 30x30 map that joins seamlessly to the east side of the Siobury Windmill map. It features some nice agricultural fields, lanes and orchards, plus a small farm with animal pens and kitchen gardens. We've also made interiors for t...

Hey everyone,
Time for a peek at December's Alt-Version. The MotM for December is The Quarry, and the winning suggestion for the alt was to turn it into a market, winding down into the pit.
It's a great idea, and we took it a little further. We pictured the location as an ancient entrance to the Underdark, and centuries ago rival societies built a gatehouse to protect and block the entrance. Generations later the two societies are now at peace, the gatehouse is an overgrown ruin, ...

Hey all,
It's time for the final levels of Mudstick Hill & The Locus, the Megadungeon and Megamap we've been working on over the past 6 months.
The Tower Under Mudstick Hill
After going deeper into the tower, past the abandoned and creepy lower levels - it appears that there's an even worse secret at the lowest level - an infernal prison with a gateway to Hell!

Hey everyone,
December marks the final level of The Locus megamap, so it's time to decide what we'll be doing for the next one. It'll run from January to June, giving you 6 levels (one per month).
We've picked some ideas from the previous poll, plus added a couple of new ones.
The options are:
Petraluna Corp - Prison Mine 81-80: A lunar mining prison facility, with surface buildings, deep mines, prison cells, and cavern systems.

Hey everyone,
We decided it was time to complete the 'square' of Eyno Bleside, and make the 4th map in the set. Sitting above the Cantina and to the right of the Military Compound, this map features a housing district, with plenty of homes, including interiors, for lots of story potential.
This 30x30 map will be in the Sci-Fi tier reward bundle for December

Hey everyone,
A few months back one of our Patrons, Maxime Lacoste, got in touch and shared a line-drawing of a tavern he had designed. We thought it was a really great layout and so, with his blessing, we've made it into a multi-level battlemap.

Time for a poll! Thanks to everyone that suggested an idea for the alt-version of The Quarry, the 30x30 MotM for December.
We've picked our top 5:

- Volcanic Altar - volcanic landscape, with lava-filled crater and an altar. Lava pouring from skulls on the rim etc.

Hey everyone,
We're really pleased to be previewing December's MotM - The Quarry! We noticed that these sorts of locations were frequently missing from RPG Battlemap catalogues, despite being really interesting locations for adventures. We love the different levels in this place.

We've also planned out the 3 variants of this:

Hey everyone!
Somehow, being so busy with Halloween maps etc, we managed to forget to preview the Alt-version for November, and the two Megadungeon levels!
So, we wanted to quickly remedy that!
The Alt-Version of the Crypt of the Vampire Queen was, as usual, chosen by you in the poll. The winning idea was an underground city. Such a fun idea, and definitely a unique location. We've made Esopagadi Underground Town:

For this month's Third Map, we thought it would be useful and fun to make one that joins to an existing map, expanding the play area and story potential. We had a little brain storm, and then came up with the idea to make a windmill map that connects to Siobury Market, a map on DTRPG.
Siobury Windmill is a 30x30 map, and i...

Hey everyone,
Time for a preview of the three variants of the MotM you'll be getting in November. If you recall, the MotM is the Crypt of the Vampire Queen, a sprawling network of tunnels and tombs. For the three variants we've changed the theme of these tombs, and made one elven, one Egyptian and one ancient Greek.
These three 30x30 maps will be part of the November reward bundle :)

Hey all!
Preview time!
We thought we'd go for a different type of spaceship this month - one that will be great fun to either raid or escape from - a Prison Ship!
This huge map is 50x30, and we've given both interior and exterior views, just in case your escape plan involves walking over the exohull!
This map will be in the November reward bundle for everyone on the Sci-Fi tier :)

Hey everyone,
Thanks for the suggestions as to how to reimagine the Crypt of the Vampire Queen as an alt-version.
Some really fun ideas. The options are:
- Royal Mausoleum - a tomb complex that has been used for generations. Ancient chambers, but also some new ones, recently used, and some new ones under construction.
- Underground Rock City - a city hewn from the rock, with houses, markets and civic spaces
- Paladin Cathedral Complex - in a dry envir...

Hello!
Time for the final previews of the October rewards (which you'll be getting in a few days time :) )
This time it's the next two levels of the fantasy and sci-fi megadungeons.
First up - the next level of the Tower Under Mudstick Hill. Leaving behind the levels occupied by the necromancer, we reach what was once the entrance level of the tower, now long since abandoned ruined.

Hey everyone
We're working hard, pushing through the maps we weren't able to really work on over the last fortnight. Today's preview is for the Third Map, picked at random from your suggestions around the theme of 'Ghosts'.
We decided it would be useful to base this on a previous battlefield map we made for you in August last year (see pic below for a reminder). In that one the battle was still happening (or just recently finished). For these new maps, we're giving you the b...

Hey everyone,
I managed to work on the alt-version over the last few days (taking a bit longer due to a blurry eye!).
The winning entry for the conversion of Crystalcave Vaults was an outlaw hideout, hidden behind a waterfall. We thought it would be fun to do the surface map too, so you'll be getting 2 30x30 maps for the alt; a forest waterfall, and the outlaw hideout hidden behind the waterfall.
Should be good for lots of different adventures!

Hi everyone,
Finally - a new map to preview!
Thanks to everyone that's wished me well after my eye was scratched (by our 4yr old during a game!). I'm not in any pain, but the vision is still a little blurry in that eye, so it's been difficult working at a laptop too long, so it's been slower making maps. It's a lot better than it had been though, and I'm taking care of it, so hopefully it'll all be fine soon.
Anyway, I've managed to chip away at October's Sci-Fi map. We've r...

Thank you for all your kind words about Joe. He is doing a bit better, but I think it will be a slow week. We really do appreciate your patience in waiting to see your maps.

Hello everyone - a quick update regarding some previews of next month's maps that you should have seen this week.
Joe has got a corneal abrasion and hasn't been able to work for a few days (a war-wound he has obtained in a battle between a child's sharp fingernail and a human eyeball). We're hoping there'll be a big enough improvement by Monday for him to be able to actually see his laptop screen again.
