Release Schedule and More Deckplans, News, Freebie Maps, and A Question

Hi everyone, 

First of all, thank you for your support! 

It's time for a quick update and some news. 

Next Release

The next map will be a Cerberos-class prisoner/troop transport. The release should be out later this week in a few days. 

New Release Schedule and More Deckplans

Lately, I've been focusing on building a new workflow, and new map releases have been more irregular than usual for the past few months. But, based on the two latest maps, the map-making workflow seems to be in order again and smoother than before, and I'm going to commit to weekly sci-fi and cyberpunk map releases. 

Every other week the map will be a deckplan or a modular spaceship deck, and every other week something else. 

In addition to these roughly 4 monthly maps, I'll make other releases including asset packs, Foundry modules, tokens, and bonus maps or deckplans. 

More Modular and Serial Content

Another switch in focus will be an increased emphasis on modular or serial content.

By modular content, I mean maps that can be connected directly, and by serial maps, I mean maps that share the same aesthetics or visual theme. While serial maps may not connect directly, they can be used easily as maps for the same scenario or campaign.

I'm currently working on map tiles and prefabs for Dungeondraft and making some tests. The first map tiles should come out by the end of the month or early next month. 

State of Foundry Modules

Last week all the modules were checked against the latest Foundry VTT version 10. Some fixes related to this are coming. 

Also, most of the missing scenes are now dynamically lit, but some require a little performance optimization and fixes still. I expect these to be done and the updates released by the end of the week. 

The Big List of Maps

There's now available a Google sheet list of all maps with relevant details like the grid dimensions, resolution, tags, genre, and so on. This is a living document and will be updated regularly. Some information might be missing from some maps. For example, many of the legacy maps do not have a clear grid size, as they were not designed for VTT use originally. 

You can find the list here:

Would you be interested in (Science) Fantasy Content by Miska's Maps? 

I think I'm not the only GM who is running sci-fi and fantasy games at the same time. I have two D&D campaigns running – Spelljammer and Hombrew world with flying skyships, steam power, and some magitek. I need to make fantasy maps for my games occasionally, and I've been thinking if there would be any interest in this sort of bonus content here. 

In general, when thinking about certain sci-fi or space opera worlds, there can be a lot of archaic elements mixed with high technology. Star Wars and Dune are great examples of this. 

Please let me know in the poll below how interested you would be in (science) fantasy content by Miska's Maps. Thanks! 

Freebie Maps by Aikku's Adventures!

Last but not least, one of my daughters wanted to try making some maps with Inkarnate. Here are two of her first maps as freebies, shared with her permission :) 

You can download these maps in the post attachments.
