Death of Ophelia (10x10, 200px) - Monthly Mini-Map
🕑 Added 2023-04-04 13:20:04 +0000 UTCBut long it could not be
Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pulled the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death.

Hi folks!
You can also find this map on my Ko-Fi, if you'd like to give something back for it but don't want to use Patreon for any reason!
I had originally planned to release this map at the end of March, but unfortunately, travelling back from the US took so much more out of me than I expected, and so I only managed to finish this map up last night.
I've always really loved John Everett Millais' painting of Ophelia's death from Hamlet, and I've wanted to represent the scene in the form of an encounter map for a very long time. Perhaps the party stumble upon a moment of quiet tragedy and have a chance to intervene, or perhaps they are too late and are met with a vengeful spirit that haunts the riverbed?
I've provided versions of the map without Ophelia's body, and a token you can use if you're so inclined!
I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things quickly this month, and I really enjoyed working on this map, so I hope to work on more maps inspired by paintings and literary works going forward!

My maps are made with assets from Forgotten Adventures and AoA (bolstered with assets of my own making here and there), and they come with day/night, edited/unedited, and light/lightless variants, plus JPEGs, WebPs with transparent backgrounds, and UVTT (DD2VTT) files for Foundry VTT.
