Farm Track Battle Map - Launch
Hello Adventurers! This will be the last map for the month from me, a more general use map with a rural theme, the Farm Track. I wanted to create an encounter battle map which could be used as a travel map for when your party isn't quite out into the wilderness. A good transitional map for traveling to a farm, or entering the outskirts of a village. I took a look at farmland locations from around the UK and Europe for this, which tend to have rolling hills, dry brick walls and abandoned tumbledown farm buildings.October mapsOctober is the s...

Dragons Call Battle Map - Exclusive Patron Launch
Hello again Adventurers! As I mentioned in my earlier post, here are the Patron Exclusive variants for my Dragons Call map which is part of the Shards of the Storm Mega Map Collaboration. I tried to make sure they would be useful for people not currently running a winter campaign. The map is themed around the idea of some kind of Dragon worshipping religion or cult (although it doesn't have to be dragons). The 'Dragon Trumpet' is used to call the scaly beasts to the cliff top. I've even drawn a handy altar for... well you can de...

Hello Adventurers! This is the latest map launch from me, part of a collaboration with some amazing creatives. I was asked to participate in this project a few weeks ago and got to create the mountain pass location, which contains a ruined watchtower, destroyed by some mysterious force!

Excavation Site Battle Map - Launch
Hello Adventurers, here is our next map, this one is a themed mini dungeon, the Excavation Site! I wanted to create a location that had a research or excavation site vibe, a place that's uncovering secrets or long forgotten dangerous knowledge. I took inspiration from novels and films like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Thing and classic eldritch horror. I imagine something has been uncovered here, and either the place is deserted when the party finds it or the facility is on the verge of uncovering said horrors and the party is witness ...

Fighting Pit Battle Map - Launch
Hello Adventurers! Here is our latest map, the Fighting Pit! What I wanted to create with this map was a smaller arena style fighting pit, with some of the buildings I imagine would go with such a structure. So I added a holding area with cells if you want to use this as a place where people are forced to fight. A training ground behind the pit with some equipment and cages for animals. There is also a villa style building attached to the arena with a balcony for the use of dignitaries or the owner. Out front are a few stalls which round out th...
Maps for August!
Hello Adventurers! I’ve taken a good look through your suggestions for new maps and come up with three themes for August I think should be really fun for me to create and for you to use in your campaigns, or run as one shots.The Fighting Pits - I imagine this is a small grimy fighting arena, but also I’d like to create some of the other areas associated with a building like this. So along with the arena and stands there will be training grounds, fighters quarters, animal pens and anything else I can think of ;)Flooded Excavation Site - A Dw...

Causeway Battle Map - Launch
Hello Adventurers, it's the end of the month and I’ve finished our last map, the Causeway. This is a wilderness map with a bit of a water theme. I can imagine some fun encounters while travelling across this map, obviously the area your party can occupy is slightly more limited unlike your chosen monsters which could rise from the depths or swoop in from above, I mean the party is all lined up… ;)Next month I’d like to create some slightly more unusual maps, try to mix it up a bit. I’ll take a look at the Patron suggestions and see ...

Forest Shrine Battle Map - Launch
Hello Adventurers! I’ve just finished our latest map, the Forest Shrine. I wanted to try for a small wooden temple/shrine in the middle of a forest with a long flight of steps leading up to it. I added a few smaller details like prayer gates, prayer wheels, places to leave offerings and paths surrounded by dozens of small stone shines. I hope this will work well for a travel encounter, or a specific location. I’ve tried to keep it fairly generic, so it could be used for a number of different gods, or a simple shine to the forest spirits or ...

Shipyard Battle Map - Launch
Hello adventurers! I’ve just finished our next map, the Shipyard, which should work well for any dockside encounters. There are a fair number of environmental obstacles on this map, from elevation, to mud creating difficult terrain. The cranes can be used to swing things about the map, while the half built ship could work as a battlefield within the larger map.I’ll be moving onto the next map for the month shortly, this will be the Forest Shrine, a small shrine nestled into the landscape of an overgrown forest. It should be a fun one to wor...
Maps for July - Update
Hello Adventurers! Just a quick message to let you know what I'm planning on creating this month. I'm looking at 3 map ideas, as mentioned on my last release.The Shipyard - A docks battle map with ship construction as its mean theme. It will contain things like slipways, half constructed ships, stacks of lumber and wooden cranes. Great for any city on the coast or river.Shine of the Forest Spirit - I imagine it will have a somewhat Studio Ghibli feel, very much inspired by the beautiful shines hidden away in Japan's forests.The Caus...

Ratking's Nest Battle Map - Launch
Hello Adventurers! Here is our third and final map for the month, I call this one ‘Ratking’s Nest’. It's a sewer mini dungeon map which should fit well under any medium or large city. When designing a sewer map layout I wanted to make sure there were a few places to have fun fights in both enclosed and more open areas, so I made sure to create a couple of larger rooms to allow for bigger encounters. I also left the base map a little more generic, so it could be used for a number of different encounters, be that oversized alligators, a...
