Hey everyone... we are half way through August already and I can't believe that it has been a whole month since I finished the coastal encounters bonus maps and started in on these wilderness roads ones! Time seems to be flying past for me at the moment.
This bonus maps experiment is going well and it is looking like I will be able to ma...

This is going to be a month of taverns I think... This is the 1st one, the Sane Bard's Inn.
Many many years past, a group of adventurers passed by this way and camped in a little clearing among the trees. Their bard unknowingly had access to a rare type of music-magery - once they started singing, nothing could stop them until the song was sung and the spell triggered by t...

A simple one level map of a medium sized ballroom this week. This is the first suggestion from your wish-list that tickled my fancy... and I managed to shoe-horn it into a Trinpari building. The building shape I chose, which is part of a defensible fort, has no exterior windows... so I made the ballroom space wrap around a central courtyard conservatory. Wrapped all around the outside of the ba...

Hiya everyone... I got distracted again this week and we ended up with a region/campaign map! I started this map a year ago, got it to a point were everything was flat colour with no frame or title box, and then did not know how to make it look finished... so it got shelved and forgotten for a year. I have really enjoyed reviving & finishing it off for you. Here is a close-up:

Hey everyone, here is the sawmill to go with the sawmill owners villa from 2 weeks ago. It is a 2 level map (+ roof)... as I thought a bit of a loft area for mill worker accommodation might be a good idea - no kitchen though, as I figure they mostly eat at the owners house. It is also an alternative route to the small mill shop on the other side of the mill race.
This map was ...
