Hey everyone, here are some options to vote on to see what you'd like us to animate next!
The options will grow over time but we have to make sure we have the original PSD files to be able to animate the maps, so we're still digging those up. If you have any requests though, mention them in the comments and we'll see what we can do!

Hey everyone!
We decided we hadn't made many outdoorsy or Asian themed maps in a while, so here's an Oni Hideout for you all! We were joined on this map by Jesse, who helped us with the Opulent Ballroom, Train Station and others. :)
The original is rather peaceful like our Zen Temple and Hot Springs maps but lurking in ambush is of course a terrible oni. We'll leave the fate o...

So our question is, do you want Eberron-like elemental airships with big rings of fire? Or more traditional fantasy/steampunk airships with wings and sails?
You can vote for both options if you'd like to see a mix!
Or if you have other t...

Hey everyone!
We're back with a new animated map. Check out the preview in the video above!
This is hopefully perfect for some post-battle scenes, recovering below swaying plants and softly bubbling springs. Or maybe just a disconcerting place for a zombie outbreak!

Hey everyone!
This was the winner of our last map poll, hopefully its what some of you envisioned when voting for it!
Our idea for the map was a clocktower that showed the time in different planes, for those planescape-like cities with lots of portals, where busy folks are heading to work in the cities of flame and going for groceries in the verdant fey planes.

A wicked creature has decided to make its new lair outside of a bustling town - a creature so vile a mere glance is said to turn a person to stone. Is your party brave enough to travel into the depths of its lair, fight past its pets and defeat The Gorgon?

Deep within this enchanted birch forest there awaits a gate to the stars. Or maybe somewhere completely different if the Fey have been messing with it! Time to open a portal, jump in and find out!
Our idea for this map was trying to find some mix between the eerie and ancient and the peaceful ambience of an ancient forest.

A dragon will see the rise and fall of many civilisations before it has to face its mortality. The most ancient dragons are born into the stone halls of people so long forgotten that our ancestors spoke of them in myth and legend.
A Dracolich may live for many millennia longer than that.

Every waterfall has something hiding behind it. After all, that's what waterfalls were invented for. Behind this particular waterfall is a secret fountain of the Fey, a pool of replenishment and rejuvenation or perhaps a blood altar or a secret oasis in the desert or a door to the astral.

Deep in the Astral Plane, beyond space and time, the gaps between of nothingness opens into a vastness and there in that infinity lies the graveyard of the gods.

At the base of the mountain a campfire crackles. Everything is stiff with frost. The adventurers hardly dare peer up out of the flames. They’re afraid to see to the submit lest the weight of tomorrow’s hike become too much to handle. They wonder why they even took on this job. Would the gold be worth the frostbite? Worried glances spread among them until one of the huddled camp... 2021-03-25 23:07:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Back when our parents were children a lighthouse stood here. A red and white tower guiding merchant ships into town and bringing with them pickled plums and salted figs. The sailors would sing shanties of sea monsters and barnacled beasts with eyes the size of melons. And in turn the weaverfolk would line the docks and swoon to their songs of the sea.
