Sinister Sanctuary 70x55
Phew, a little later in the month than normal for the first map as all of this OGL drama has been a bit to work through. If you haven't heard about what's going on I recommend checking out DnDShorts on YouTube, he summarises all of the chaos quite well.I won't go into it all again here, but I will say that whilst the initially proposed changes wouldn't impact me directly, I believe that they would result in an untenable situation for many other 3rd party creators out there, and open up our hobby community to some crazy exploitat...
Rugged Ravine 27x48
Trying something a little different for one of the Silver variants on this one, creating a series of map tiles so you can keep extending out your Canyon Labyrinth to really trap those players who rolled a Nat 1 on reading a map. Let me know if this kind of content is useful, cause I think it may be something I could play with in some future map packs.DOWNLOAD FROM HERE:COPPER FILE LISTSILVER FILE LISTMAP ASSET TRACKER SPREADSHEET---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The sun beat down mercil...
Flourishing Farmstead 48x36
DOWNLOAD FROM HERE:COPPER FILE LISTSILVER FILE LISTMAP ASSET TRACKER SPREADSHEET---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As you walk down the road, you catch sight of a thin line of smoke rising above the corn stalks. It's a welcome sight, promising the prospect of shelter and possibly even a hot meal after what feels like an endless journey on the road. Your feet are heavy with exhaustion and caked with dirt, and even just the thought of rest feels like a gift from the gods.As you approac...

Figure Falls 64x27

Passing travellers who stop for rest at the feet of this grand figure would be wise to keep one eye open, for like the statue the crevasse at the base does not appear to be natural in origin an...
Anyone else getting a bit over all the inflation?
Hey all, so I'm willing to bet that many of you are pretty sick of all of this inflation right now, and I'm pretty sick of it too. So I'm going to do something a bit out of trend and re-open the discount tiers, cause people shouldn't have to cut back on their hobbies just cause the world is getting pricy right now.I'm going to keep these discounted tiers available for at least December and into the start of the new year, cause I know not everyone is checking Patreon every week and I want to make sure you all get a chance to ...

This proud vessel was once the flagship of the merchant fleet, but now a pile of slowly rotting wood, serving as little more than a humbling reminder to all who witness it.It’s rumored that the ship changed hands less than a month before it’...

Space Stuff 48x32
Hey all! I was having a little noodle around with some space stuff and thought I'd put it up on the Drive for you all and throw a couple out to the wider community for free too. It's not enough for a full release, but I thought it may be useful backgrounds for anyone running SciFi, Spelljammer or Astral Plane games, or even just for anyone who has a player star gazing!Let me know if there are any other little bits of content that would be useful for your games, or if there are any location requests for larger releases too!DOWNLOAD FROM ...

Cemetery Catacombs 48x27
And we're back in action! Thanks everyone for bearing with me whilst I got some stuff under control, but now the computer is churning away like a space heater and getting new maps rendered up!A few house keeping things first up, along with a few other things in the last month, I've gone back over the Google Drive and have updated all of the static maps to make sure they have correct meta data for easier importing onto various VTTs and accurate printing, and have also generated PDFs for the print scale versions. I've standardised the...
Asset Tracker WIP
Hi All, Hope everyone's having a great start to their September!I thought I'd update you on one of the organisational elements I'm working on over this month as a quality of life improvement for the Patreon.A few people have asked for a better way of knowing what's in each map, and whilst I'll also be improving the gallery view on my website the suggestion has been made for a map ledger/asset tracker.I'm still filling in a lot of the data here, but thought it best to share it with everyone sooner rather than later so you...
Pausing Patreon for September
Hey All! So I won't bore anyone with the details but life’s getting pretty hectic and I'm going to need a month to get back on top of it all. Thankfully Patreon has a system for this so I can put it all on pause for the month of September, and come back strong and ready to roll in October!Your access to all of the maps and perspective images already made will not be interrupted and, as a plus, one of the things that I’m wanting to get on top of is setting up some sort of better system for you (and me) to see what is inside each map ...

Roadway Rockslide 48x27
Hi All!I’m trying out one of those new fangled phased maps with this one, a relatively simple 2 phase map to start with.So this should hopefully not only give you a good staple of TTRPG, a path through the woods, but also a handy little ambush encounter to throw at any party that you feel has become too comfortable on their travels!

Broken Bridge 48x27
DOWNLOAD FROM HERE:COPPER FILE LISTSILVER FILE LIST----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In a grand arc of stone the pathway rises ahead, the bridge spanning a mighty canyon. Battered and broken by the season’s storms, but somehow still standing for those who dare to cross its span to reach the far side.One would be wise to watch their step whilst traversing this viaduct however, as it is a long distance to fall into the fast moving waters below for any who lose their footing.-----------------...

Confounded Clocktower 36x36
COPPER FILE LISTSILVER FILE LIST----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The never-ending metronome of the clockwork mechanism drives you upwards along the multitude of stairs coating the interior of this tower, towards their apex and the source of the incessant ticking.What strange being would choose to stay in such a raucous racket for longer than necessary is truly a mystery, a being of either resolute will or fractured mind.-----------------------------------------------------------...
Mystical Monolith 48x27
Thanks everyone for the feedback on which way to take this one! Turns out it was pretty close to an even split, so I figure let's inflate content not prices!

Work In Progress Map. Mountains or Caves? What's more useful for you?
Hey all, working on one of the upcoming maps and it feels like it could go one of two directions currently to being something mountainous or from within the under dark.So I wanted to get your thoughts on which settings people make more use of within their games?I've thrown a few screenshots above to give context, though it is still quite 'in-progress'
