Hello everyone,
I just realized that I haven't posted an update on the situation here before.
First of all, apologies for the radio silence.
What's Going On?
As you have noticed, there have been no new releases for a few months. The reason for this is that I had to make some sudden business decisions in January and hit the reset button.
In practice, this means that I found myself going in a direction with Miska's Maps that didn't appeal to me and was c...

Churches are quite basic scenery in modern horror, so here's one. This one also happens to have a basement with a small room with a workbench and some gun racks. So, not quite your basic church.
Thank you for your support!

Hi everyone,
One of the most popular choices in the recent poll was a motel, so here you go. This small motel can be used as a hideout, a meeting place, or a place of investigation, for example.
I hope you fing this map useful and remember not to go to the shower without blocking the door first.
Thanks for your support!

Hi everyone,
Usually when someone dies and ends up in a morgue, they stay there until they are buried. But in the case of the player characters, it's not always that simple. If a case is reported where a corpse has risen from the autopsy table with its chest cut open and killed the autopsy doctor and their assistant, this case is taken seriously and an investigation is launched to find out what is going on. Even in the paranormal, this is not exactly common, so you have to prepare for t...

Hi everyone,
It's time for a poll about the next month's maps and some quick updates.
Upcoming Maps
We are doing our best to get two new maps finished by the end of the month. We have a strange garden and a museum with a weird ritual in the works.
New look and Patreon overhaul
This has been delayed as we've had some sick leaves this month that have reduces available hours. We are going to rework the visual look and tier names into something with a more ...

Hi everyone,
In every remote neighborhood or sleeping small town there is that weird house that looks abandoned. It has curtains on day and night and no one seems to be around ever, except at nights.
This house is a haven for unspeakable horrors and stomach-churning human fates. It is unclear whether the occupant is a psychotic serial killer, or perhaps a cultist worshipping anonymous deities in preparation for a gruesome ritual. What is clear, however, is that no soul...

Hi everyone and happy Halloween to all!
While we are still working on our new look, let's introduce a new spooky map.
This map features more sticky webs and slimy eggs. The idea behind this map was that this could be connected with the previously released sewer map.
One idea we had was that there could be a creature hiding in the water pool at the center of the map. Or it could h...

Hi everyone,
Time for the first monthly Field Report post.
First of all, I have to say that my month so far has been a bit chaotic as my daughter got hospitalized at the beginning of the month, and I've been able to work only part-time. And my mind has been a bit unfocused. Fortunately, things are under control, but I cannot say when they return to normal.
Here at Miska's Maps office, we've been working on new maps, but because of the above reason, my part in Foundry updates...

Hi everyone,
We are back! As I wrote in the previous post, we are changing the direction a bit and jumping a few decades forward in time. However, this map is suitable for various eras from 1920's to the modern days.
The idea with this map was to make a map that could be hiding place or a small nest for some spider-like monstrous creature like Ananasi or Leng-spider.
It would be great to hear how you like this map style in the comments and if you have any suggestions for Oct...

Hi everyone,
Not sure if you have watched Last of Us, but this map has similar vibes.
The map is not very large but works as a final reveal or even a boss fight map.
This map has a small attic with a strange fungal infestation. Some person has been sacrificed or has sacrificed themselves to nourish a fungal growth of alien origin.

This map features a small building plan with offices, laboratories, and a small greenhouse with exotic plants and flowers.
But, as you might expect from a Mythos Map, something dark and sinister is happening on this map.

Hi everyone,
A new map, at last. This is a two-story building with day and night versions of the building plan. More details and some story hooks about Rawley Cliff Asulym can be found below under Seeds of Terror.
Some changes to tiers and upcoming maps
I've decided to simplify things a bit to get things back on track better. I have unpublished the Keeper tier for now until I get everything back to a good speed. Now, there are two tiers:

As we enter the new month, we wanted to give you all an update on our plans for the future of Miska's Mythos Maps.
First off, December had no new releases due to some extra time off during the Holidays and sick days on top of that.
However, I'm glad to inform you that Pauliina, who has been helping me with assets and tokens since last spring, is now starting as a part-time artist. Pauliina is already working on an asylum map as the fir...

The resurrection of Mythos Maps took of bit slowly, but this was largely because of #mapvember and me founding a new RPG publishing company, Ironspine Press, with a few of my friends. Mapvember is over now and we have everything set up for Ironspine, and I'm getting a bit more help starting January, so I expect things to speed up soon.&nbs...

Hi everyone,
It took me longer than expected to get started with new maps, but here we are, finally!
We are working on new PNG and Dungeondraft assets for Mythos Maps, and meanwhile, I wanted to try something different. Instead of using mainly digital tools, I wanted to try a hand-drawn map without any assets for a change. At the same time, I tweaked my workflow a bit, and there will be some gradual changes to the release model.
Most importantly, Different archiv...

Hi everyone,
Let’s start the new Mythos Maps with a poll.
For the first new maps and assets, what era would you like them to focus on?
Pick all that you find useful and/or interesting.
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
After much consideration, I have decided to re-open the secret tome of Mythos Maps and bring back the horror-themed maps, but with a new and much more manageable approach.
Also, I'm going to have a stronger focus on horror in general. Not just 1920s or Cthulhu Mythos, but instead, think of this as an anthology of horror maps.
If you are playing games like Call of Cthulhu,...

After investigating the disappearances in the village and examining the findings in the forest close to the village, the investigators find out about an old ritual site deeper into the woods. Just before they arrive at the site, they hear loud creaking sounds and a terrible scream. When they get to the ritual site, the investigators witness something that is hard to comprehend or explain. A towering mass of tentacle-like appendages flailing around stands on the edge of light in the shadows. Y...

Under the old stable, there is an old dried well, that has a crack in the wall at the bottom of the well. The crack leads to a cavern that finally ends up into a strange spherical space with alien carvings all over its inner surface. The center of the sphere has a round platform that is surrounded by oval recesses together creating a shape much like a flower and its petals.

Hi everyone,
Samuli got the last map of his Lord of the Woods story arc done (coming out this week), and I’m working on the last maps for the Woodley mystery and Yellow Royal Hotel maps (hopefully all coming out within the next two weeks or so).
We are thinking of the next Mythos story and have a few suggestions for you. Vote for your own favorites before the end of the month.
Thanks!

As the investigators travel further into the forest they see a huge tree ahead. The tree is at least twice as tall as the tallest tree in the forest. As the investigators get closer to the tree they find out that the tree is actually growing out of the remains of an old crumbled down tower of some sort.
When the tower ruins are examined more closely a slaughtered goat is found lying next to the tree with its bowels taken out and blood spilled all over the roots and the trunk of th...

This map belongs to a new four-part story arc we are calling "The Lord of the Woods". This is still a bit of a working title, but let's see. The story revolves around strange disappearances and events taking place in a remote forest. As the investigators travel further into the woods following the leads, they will find more and more disturbing proof of strange rituals being performed in various old ruined sites in the woods.
This forest pool is an old and mossy stone pool...

This plan of a Yellow Royal Hotel's deluxe suite continues the mystery of the Yellow Royal Hotel. Like the Seedy Hotel Room map before this map also has a hidden room with a peephole and a secret door leading to the bathroom.
While this map is designed to be used so that the hidden room is made to ambush the hotel guests, it can be also used as a hidden escape route if this map is used as an apartment plan for a cultist or other antagonist – why not a protagonist too.

Yellow Royal Hotel is a fairly new hotel located in a fairly busy part of the town close to nightlife. Actually, the hotel has a small bar that offers live music and food in the late evenings.
While Yellow Royal Hotel looks like any other hotel, it has a dark secret. It is only a front for a cult that kidnaps hotel and nightclub customers to sacrifice them to their insane god.

This is the first map in the Murder Hotel series of maps.
This map depicts a hotel room with a secret door to a secret stairway leading to other floors and the hotel basement. In the basement, there is a hidden cult temple complete with a laboratory, holding cells, and a crematorium.
My idea was that there would also be a hidden peephole on the hotel room wall above the bed and a small hole for a gas hose in the bathroom's secret door. the idea being that when someone ...

So far I’ve been doing maps that are more ”tactical” in scale and level of detail. What kind of situations do you use maps for mostly? Would you like to see more large-scale maps, general building layouts, or other styles for different use cases?
Also, mixing different scales and styles is not out of the question, if there is demand for different scales.
Feedback and suggestions in general are very welcome.
Thanks!
