I'm currently working on a huge world map that will be another large map pack (probably about 6 or more maps from it) but after that I'll be working on the following:
These double width digital papers are perfect for book or double page layouts. 25 digital papers in total at 300 DPI & 17 inches wide by 11 inches tall - split into 3 packs to easier downloading.

Hello my Ruebees, I've got a surprise for you! Ok, sort of. I vaguely talked about this previously but this month I'm taking steps towards making it happen!

I give my players the following series of questions to not only help them develop a character but also give me something to build more of their hometown with them. We also use these questions for any downtime, travel, or time skip to give my players a sense of getting to know each other even when it's not fully role played out.
One of my favorite things to do with my players is to have them join in the world building process by building everything associated with their backstory. I start off by asking them a series of questions about their childhood and then have them world build anything they mention in their backstory.
So if they say they went to school, they world build that school. If they say they were best...

If a player is revived before having to make any death saves, they are revived with a point of exhaustion and can only heal to 75% their full HP until their next long rest.
They can, however, receive the benefits of any spells that grant them additional HP.
For each death save they make (pass or fail) before being revived, they suffer an additional point of exhaustion and have 25% l...

Karma can be used to influence the world & the DM. You can use several karma points to achieve something you desperately want for your character/party. Want to find ...

This might seem like a "common sense" thing to you but I can assure you, a great deal of people have a very misguided way of looking at and reading fantasy maps. I know this because whenever I work with people on their maps, I realize the are looking at it from a perspective that often gets them lost in the details instead of focusing on the maps true purpose: to provide a look into the history...

Not all precious material is in mountains! Just digging under the soil's surface can be enough or mining specific stones that are embedded in hard earth. Things like granite, limestone, marble, and specific colored sand. There are 2 types of quarries: one dug into the ground and one that is dug into a hill or cliffside. Both can be indicated on a map and both present interesting and unique desi...
