Creation Montage | The Oasis of the Alamir Mountains

I've had a lot of requests for a breakdown of my map-making process. Because commentary and long breakdowns aren't my thing I decided I would take screenshots along the way and make a montage. Obviously huge parts of the creative process are not shown here, arguably the parts that take up most of my time. Examples being, accumulating the assets I will use, reworking them to work together to create the theme I am making. Creating all the custom texture, effects and lighting. But this shows what it kind of looks like when I have everythin...

2022 Update

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a wonderful beginning to the new year. I had great break spending tons of time with family and getting other projects done that have been neglected. But, I'm excited to be back to creating again. I just wanted to pop in let yall know I am alive and creating content and update you all on a few things.First off, about trying out Mega for storage and locking content on a timer.. and all that mess. Had a lot of issues with Patrons getting access to content and it just created a lot of confusion. Because o...

November Release

Hey guys and gals. I'm going to be pushing November packs back until December. They needed more time in the oven to get them to the right quality you all deserve. I was planning on taking December off for the holidays, with how much time I will be traveling and having family visit I would not have the time for a whole new pack. But will have the time to polish this release up and get it out to you all.Because no one will be charged this month and that's on me, all new patrons will still get access to the 4 latest packs via message soon....

Shoreline | Overview

This pack is to complement The Haunted House pack out of Ghosts of Saltmarsh. They act as gap fillers to more "main" destinations. They all are entrances in one way or another to what could be another location. I also tried to keep them some what close to other past packs so that they could be used with them as well, ex: Clifflands.These 2nd packs will most likely will not stand strong on their own, but be made to complement other previous map-packs.You should have link in your messages to both packs. Hope you and your players enjoy!All...

The Haunted House - Overview

Hello! Hope you all are doing well! After looking at the poll from last month of what official modules you would like me to create maps from, it was clear I could not focus on one module. So, instead I decided I would pull from all of the most voted on modules. Then decide what maps by how usable across most campaigns it could be.So this month I decided on The Haunted House - The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, which is in the Ghosts of Saltmarsh module. A large deprecated house usable in most settings and is also a fitting choice for the season!...

Lost Ruins | Dungeon | Overview

Hello my wonderful Patrons! Feels good to make a proper post; one I'm excited about on top of it.This is one of the largest packs I've created. With a whopping 8 maps, with 2 more small dead ends to be added in a few days bringing the total to 10. A series of tunnels and rooms that lead to a magic/mechanical device that can be used by you the DM for multiple purposes. A device that can rebuild the body of a dead party member and resurrect them. A portal that rips open reality and takes your party to another plane. A device that summons ...

Lost Ruins - Dungeon | Tier D10

Hope you and your party both like and enjoy this pack! Once again thank you all for supporting my creations. I'm looking forward to the new content I'll be creating with you next.

Also look forward to a continued increase of content with two map-packs this next month. Once again, thank you all, have a great one!All Map-Pack Content (4K, HD, Still Maps, VTT Maps.

Temple of Blood | Overview

I've had a lot of requests to create a full pack around the free bloodbath map I released back in 2019. So, thought it was about time I got it done :D. Because it has been so long from now to back when I created bloodbath, all the assets I created and the map file itself were a loss (hard drive failure back in 2020). So the style is close, but I hope these have a little more magic/pizzazz to them.I've really liked the dungeon / connected maps the past two packs have been and I expect to keep to that format for a lot of my future release...

Temple of Blood | Tier D10

Going to be honest, I had a hard time with this one. Bringing my ideas to fruition can sometimes be challenging for a plethora of reasons. But for this one it was was the blood and structure; getting them to look right took a crazy amount of time. But I think it came together quite nicely in the end.Don't forget to read the overview post and watch the video demo.I'm looking for more ideas for future packs and I'm needing some inspiration.

Underdark - Dungeon | Overview

Hello again my wonderful patrons! Ok, I guess I kinda lied last month. It wasn't the last underdark themed map-pack. But in my defense , the ominous doors in the underdark pack-one needed a dungeon to explore behind them!... and its dungeon so it is different!After looking back at my past few packs and some solid patron feedback. I realized how much I had strayed from the content I wanted to create. That being beautiful maps that beg to be explored that add wonder and magic to your games. I want them to not just fill a need of a theme but i...

Underdark - Pack Three | Overview

Hello everyone! I bring you the last pack that explores down in the Underdark... for now anyways. I decided to do one more pack in the Underdark because I had quite a few requests to create some maps that act as connections between other maps.It being a theme I've now worked in for sometime it gave me the extra time to play around with a new effects and pick up some new skills. As a result, I hope these map seem a little less static then the last pack without putting cheap effects or movement that doesn't fit the theme of the map. Anoth...

Underdark - Pack Three | Tier D10

UnderDark - Pack Two | Overview

If your players are going to take a trip down into the Underdark you should at least offer them the opportunity to take another type of life altering trip along the way! Shrooms all the beautiful shrooms! So bright and beautiful! Are they poison? That's up to you! :DIve really enjoyed working in the underdark these past map-packs. I'm currently unsure if this will be the last part of the underdark or not. I'll be taking the next week off which will give me ample time to ponder over what is next! That being said, expect a color varia...

Animated Token of the Month: Larva

Hello Lady and Gents. I've decided to start making tokens a separate post every month to make it easier to find tokens as the collection grows over time. Also plan to include one or more stat blocks to go along with them from now on aswell.Because I'm continuing the Underdark Theme this month and also I wanted to continue with creepy crawly feeling from last months tokens; I decided on making some larva tokens! I would hate for those nasty pincers to get around your players necks... heads popping off everywhere... the horror! ; )As alwa...

Underdark - Pack One | Overview

Adventurers be wary while exploring the realms below our feet. Long forgotten things deep in the underdark depths waiting for discovery -- or waiting to discover you!This will be the first part of a small series of map packs that will focus on exploration below the surface. Think glowing mushrooms, relics of the past and ancient evils. This pack is a mixture dark caverns, lost souls, ancient ruins and forgotten evils.Also to top off the creepy vibe why not some giant spider tokens to freak out the players with Arachnophobia!Hope you gals and gu...

Western Town | Interiors | Overview

We are wrapping up the western town Patreon Goal with the interior maps for the Bank, General Store, Hotel and Saloon. Had fun making these interiors, especially getting to play with lighting to try to get a realistic exterior light inside each building. That being said, I think I'm going to be taking a break from interior/room type maps for a while.If you didn't know, I made these maps because a Patreon goal was met and not because I just wanted to take a western tangent, lol. Now that it is done I have started work on some more beauti...
