Hey!
Here is a recent status of graveyard map. Total progress I'd say it's maybe 35% something. IT still needs a lot of work. As of now I'm placing the objects, sculpting the terrain and all that jazz. Spooky atmosphere? - Well, that's for later :)
Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone!
I came here to tell you that another map is in production and we're staying in the spooky, grave and gloomy mood as it's the map of a graveyard!
The goal is to have some background for my next Descent into Avernus map which is the Elturel Graveyard Chapel (no, it's not the one you see on the picture :P) Aside of that there will be plenty of other nice spots on the cementary, where I'll be creating some separate maps from.
The next thing is, I'm going to po...

Hey everybody,
Just a bit of an update on this week. I'm packing Avernus maps into one chunky module for Foundry VTT. Pretty much teh same as I did with Lost Mines. New module includes maps from Chapter 1 and lots of additional stuff such as static and aminated illustrations.
Soon the module will be available in in-foundy module browser. For free ofc :)
Cheers!

Hey everbybody!
OMG this isn't real! Patreon opens a shop! Yup, a complete functional internet shop! And guess what? I plan to use it! So far - given that I've just learned about it - there is one (1!) product there, just for the testing and it's Astrolabium Animated Map. If it's successfull there'll be more!
This is a great option for those of you who just want a single map!
Fo all the Patreons - fear not, you have the same maps available for your tiers! Check out the Colle...

As the adventurers ventured deeper into the Dark Forest, an unsettling feeling gnawed at their senses. The twisted trees cast eerie shadows that seemed to shift and whisper secrets. Unseen eyes watched them from the depths of the forest, and a cold shiver ran down their spines. Suddenly, a faint growl echoed through the darkness, leaving them to wonder what lurked unseen in those ominous shadows. With weapons drawn and hearts pounding, they steeled themselves for the unknown lurk...

Hey y'all!
I'm so excited about the new map release on Saturday (Friday for Patrons! <3).
The map was a really a challange in terms of keeping it dark, but also colorful and eye catching. I've been working tirelessly to create this epic battleground for your next tabletop adventure, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share it with all of you. 🗺️✨
Thank you all for your incredible support, and I can't wait to see you on the battlefield! 💪🎲

Hi Dear Patrons!
I've always found it difficult to fit the pages like Patreons to our needs. Patreon as a page has a very vertical and blog-like structure and IMO wasn't taht good for supporting the digital products like my maps. I know, you had a hard time finding the post and map you wanted and that's why I opened a website where things are more categorised. Well now Patreon page makes a step forward.
Let me welcome you to the Collections! A new feature Patreon rolled out quite ...

Hi everybody!
I'm thrilled to announce the release of my latest creation: the "Cathedral Catacombs" animated battlemap! As you and your players are on the campaign of Descent into Avernus, this map will be perfect for your adventure in depths of the First Layer of Nine Hells.
The map was created using Unreal Engine 5 and thanks to my beloved Partrons support, I was able to bring some nice floor textures and decals to the map.

Alright! Essentially the map is ready. All what's left is to set it up for Foundry module, stand-alone files with different variations (grid, gridless, sound etc.) Pack it all together, publish on Patreon and website. Well that's gonna take me another couple of days, as releasing process isn't what I like the most (- it's like something completetely different than mapmaking, lol). All I can tell is: soon! :)
Cheers!

Hi everybody,
So this is how it is going. Thanks to you - my awesome patrons, Is was able to buy some assets allowing me to add more fancy statues to the Catacombs. Thank you! <3
Now I'm working with the lighting and I've already managed to clutter the crypts a little with some sort od damaged mosaic and debris. After all the Cathedral went through a bit, so its underbelly cannot be intact :)
Till next time!

Hello dear wonderful people,
So this time I'm bringing to the table v.2 of Lost Mines of Phandalver based Foundry VTT module: "Lost Mines by dransky v.2".
What happened with the v.1. and why a new version?
Well, that's a good question, Jimmy! It all began with Foundry switched to version 11. I described whole the fuss I had to go through so... long story short - previous version didn't work very well with new Foundry database. Second reason was, I just wanted to refresh the ...

This post is especially for those of you, who use Foundry vtt in its newest version 11. For the rest of you dear community it's just an information, a heart beat that I'm out there, feeling quite well, missing my RPG sessions (therefore planning them!), thinking about the new map ideas and on the route to normal. :)

Some of you may have noticed that I wasn't around for a while. This is even more visible as there was no new maps release on July. Well I feel I owe you some explanation on this and to be honest it will require to touch my private life. Last couple of months my dad's condition get worsen as he had been ill for a couple of years. Two weeks ago he passed away.

Hey beautiful people!
June was very busy for me with the maps for Rural Tavern and partially with rural roads. Those project took the most of the time, but in the end we got a really fat pack of maps, variations and sceneries done in UE5.
Along with that I was able to make some really quick side project with Landing Page for Warhammer 40K Dark Heresy system. Which is a niche - I know, but I made it for my another campaign I'd like to run soon and I share it with you for free.

It took a good few moments for your eyes to adjust to the dark room, illuminated only by the candles standing on the tables. The inn was poor, like most of the ones you visited on the trail. Despite this, you immediately felt relieved - the air was heavy with the smell of barley malt. Brewed on the spot - you thought and together with the rest of your companions you took the table. Your group has not yet noticed that several armed people are watching you from the back of the room...

Hello dear Patrons!
This week I have an update for Champions and those of you who are thinking about upgrading their tiers. Based on the poll I made couple weeks ago, I noticed https://dranskybattlemaps.com/ isn't that much easy to navigate. Especially for Champions and I must admit, this page was a bit messy and missleading. Well, I have streamlined the page and made it more gallery-like. Hope you'll find it easier ...

The noon sun was mercilessly hot as you walked along this forgotten by merchants route. Finally, in the distance, you saw the outlines of buildings, which could suggest that there is a village nearby, or even better an inn, where you could drink a cold beer and eat properly. The dusty road, however, led past a high cliff – an ideal place that can be used by bandits to ambush you..

This clifftop castle was once the crowning architectural jewel of Elturel. Only three of its five watchtowers towers still stand, though they appear abandoned. The wooden gates that once led into the castle grounds have been shattered, leaving a gaping hole in the wall.
The west side of the castle has been reduced to a pile of smashed brick and broken wood. The surviving buildings are blackened by soot. At the c...

Hello dear Patrons,
I'm back to DiA maps with new tool and new energy! As you see, the progress is really good and all what's left to have this part of the map complete is a little bit postprocessing, adding animations, setting up for Foundry, create set of files... well, yeah there's plenty. Fear not! Because High Hall Cathedal is on the way!
