Near the center of this bygone mausoleum, once the seat of power and trade, the land and the buildings still bear the scorched scars of overwhelming arcane power, evil that has seeped into the very stones themselves.

Derelict and decayed, this ancient ruin was once the epitome of human achievement, but in the millennia that's passed since a great evil scorched and ruptured the very earth, this place has become home to none but the dead.

The sea-beaten cliffside curves, and keen-eyed seafarers might spot a pair of crevices retreating deep within. Only an explorer, however, might search deeper, and discover the antechamber hidden in its depths, a silty cavern tucked away from prying eyes. A hideout for pirates, a dwelling for an amphibious beast, or perhaps the spot of a pirate's hidden treasure, buried beneath the sand...

As the sun begins to rise over the horizon, casting its golden rays across the landscape, a sight of enchantment comes into view. A floating island, suspended effortlessly high in the sky. Its surface is adorned with a carpet of golden yellow grass that sways gently in the breeze, creating a mesmerizing dance of light and movement. Golden-yellow trees rise from the island, their trunks bathed in a soft, ethereal glow, and their leaves shimmering with a radiant hue. The air is imbued with ...

As you meander down the narrow, cobbled street of this medieval city, a sense of history and enchantment envelops you. Your attention is immediately drawn to the fountain at the heart of the bustling thoroughfare, where a large statue of a warrior stands as the focal point. Crafted from weathered stone, the warrior's stoic countenance and heroic form command your attention and reverence. The sound of the falling water mingles with the animated chatter of merchants and the shuffling of fee...

This month, one of the things I wanted to do was expand the toolkit for town and city building, and make a more modular approach. You can see these pieces in action in the City Streets map and its variants this month, and it ought to add some more to your mapmaking arsenal in the future!

A bit of a surprise bonus for patrons, I recently collaborated with Derek and Arthur from Elven Tower Adventures on an adventure module for the Shadowdark RPG system.
In Gorgon in Fairflow, the characters hear troubling rumors about a criminal organization that assails the city of Fairflow. There have been many unexpected developments: the government has been replaced with puppets loyal to a strange magical entity, a strange statue rests at the b... 2023-05-10 18:31:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Dense forest brush gives way to a suspicious clearing, a wooded arch springing from the earth that doesn't seem possible through any natural means. Growth clings to it, and strange, dancing lights drift from the circuitous trunk. Faintly, the growing breeze is threaded with notes of distant woodwind music. Clouds soon blot out the sun, and as you move closer, the music grows louder, as does the wind and the rain. A storm is coming, and fast...

I put these together, wanting to make a little port village, and add some variety to the town-building assets in the 3/4 perspective I've been enjoying. Some thatched roof buildings, some slanted roofs, a little dash of Kul Tiras energy, and presto. Another expansion to your own map-making kits.

This small island off the coast of the mainland means a great deal to the hardy people who call it home. By day, the docks and shores are crowded with fishmongers and merchants and the calls of gulls, and by night, the Drowned Dame Tavern revitalizes throats parched from salted winds with refreshment and fills bellies with the catch of the day. Travelers are surprisingly frequent, providing welcome respite and resupply for longer voyages up and down the coast, and those looking to charter...

Cold and remote, this pockmarked landscape could only be from one place. The surface of the moon. Whether communing with a lunar deity, embarking on a space romp, or your wizard just really messed up his teleportation attempt, you may find yourself here. Tis a cold and lonely place.
I realize this one is a bit off brand for my normal maps, but if there's one thing I've learned from being a DM for the last 7 years, it's that you never know what...

A pack of assets created for use in the Hanging Garden map. Can't wait to see what other creative uses you all have for them!

The tallest structure built atop the tallest peak of this island is a tribute to nature itself, a testament to the beauty and achievement of its former inhabitants, earth and engineering find tranquil balance in this place, still just as breathtaking today as it ever was.

Just north of the island's Arena District, two sprawling staircases ascend to the island's final tier, curving gently around a large fountain. Three giant statues of beautiful women preside over the deep aquamarine pool which glistens invitingly, while the crumbling stonework surrounding it slowly slowly succumbs to time's relentless march.

It's been awhile and I wanted to make some tokens for the Cursed City megamap, and decided to make a bunch. I'm much happier with these than my previous iterations, and would like to keep making more for thematic opponents that fit well into released maps.

Okay, I think I'm finally done working on this map. This variant is thanks to a patron on the discord who requested it. I particularly like the way the new lighting technique turned out. Hope you enjoy!
2023-03-07 01:54:51 +0000 UTC View PostI really liked making some of the other ideas I've gotten from you all in the past. The Druid's Tavern and Post Office were both great, so I wanna do another one. Hit me with your ideas, I'll pick one I like, and make it this month.
As usual, this is a patron-only post!

Variant maps are available exclusively to patrons for no additional charge, as a thank you for your continued support!
Night and gridded versions included. I've been working on this for an extra this month, it's more involved than any of my previous variant maps have been, but I wanted to include it as an extra. Whether it precedes the fort's repair, or falls to this state after a terrible battle, I mostly had the idea of making it as an abandoned ruin for players to ex...

The stony floors of Fort Faustus's lowest level are nothing to admire. Utilitarian and sparse, they serve as the garrison's storage space, for supplies, armaments, and on occasion, prisoners infamous enough to have caught the attention of the military. Though the honorable warriors that man the fort would never stoop to torture, any wise criminals would still do well to avoid winding up here.
And with this, Fort Faustus is finally complete.

I kind of can't believe it's taken me this long to work up a pack of assets like this. Most of these are bits and bobs that I made for the Fallen Fort Faustus variant I've teased on discord, and plan to use in future "ruins" types of maps, and some with a distinct military fortification twist. Considering how prevalent destroyed buildings and structures are in dnd maps, I'm not sure why I didn't save myself the time and make this sooner. Oh well, they ought to be pretty good staples in any DM...
