Hi everyone,
I have the pleasure to share with you another great collaboration with a group of other talented RPG content creators.
Meezul’s Mysterious Mansion is a light-hearted 5e adventure for 5th level characters crafted as a collaborative project by a team of 19 TTRPG creators and released for free for the community to enjoy. This collaboration includes a...
2020-10-26 15:24:37 +0000 UTC View PostI recently passed a goal of 700 patrons! This is super-awesome and this brings me pretty much half-way to my ultimate goal of becoming a full-time RPG cartographer and content creator. The next goal is at 750 patrons and at that point, I'll start offering map assets on a regular basis (monthly or every second month).
This also means that I start to offer 300dpi PD...

Once a respected botanist, Daniel de Lyon, has slowly turned into a recluse rejected by the local academia because of his radical theories on using fungal cells to repair normal living tissue and nerves. After a fumbled public demonstration he has become a target of ridicule and his claims of immortality achieved by transferring a persons consciousness to a vat grown plant-based body have been ...

The Mercury Interstellar's WL-4b "Wallaby" interstellar transport/utility space vehicle is now a mostly outdated model, but it's 3rd generation Seburu Hypersystems Heimdall 44G Obermann drive core still offers good enough hyperdrive capability for short-range interstellar jumps. It has its own quirks, but for its price, it's an excellent bargain. In general Wallaby-class spacecraft has be...
2020-10-22 11:58:38 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
I have updated the current Miska's Maps Premium Battle Map Modules* for Foundry VTT to be compatible with the latest stable release version 0.7.5
I also added 3 new maps to module 4 and made some fixes to older maps. Added some new light animations and weather effects and made some min...
Dr. Viktor Pendulon is an ingenious inventor and scholar well-versed in the techno-treasures of the ancestors. Recently he acquired some new strange wildsilver parts from the Explorer's Society and was studying them in his tower. Just when he was figuring out the purpose of these parts, someone or something broke into his cellar through a hidden trapdoor and stole the parts, and like that wasn'...
2020-10-22 08:38:38 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the poll for November releases. It's also Mapvember next month and I'll start working on the modular starship/space station sections then, but I will do my regular five releases with Foundry VTT support on top of that.
This underground facility is titled "Recycling Unit", but I wanted to leave the map ambiguous on the sense that what is recycled or what is the current purpose of this facility.
There can be found a pool of some liquid, something that could be a control room, some glowing pods and something that could be a cryogenic tank or a medpod.
When drawing this map I thought...

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to drop a quick message to you and show what's done already for this month and what's still coming up.
These maps are done but the map packs and Foundry VTT versions just need to be prepared for release. I expect these to be released over the next couple of days.
Here are the public versions as previews.
Hi everyone,
With the changes to my focus, I had to unpublish the Fantasy Explorer tier and come up with a new way to balance the tiers. Let's take a look at that first.
These changes will affect all Explorer, Adventurer, and Hero tier patrons.
I wanted to give up the idea of limiting the...
2020-10-07 10:37:44 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I've been thinking about your comments – thank you all for your abundant replies – and this division between sci-fi and fantasy maps in general. This is where I stand now:
I do enjoy making fantasy maps. I'm also a big sci-fi geek and enjoy doing those as well. But here's the thing, there seems to be a huge demand for sci-fi maps and when I'm splitting my focus between sci-fi a...
The recent survey regarding the game systems you are running or playing has made me think about my focus lately. There seems to be a lot of sci-fi and cyberpunk gamers and only a minority of Fantasy Explorers, for example.
Splitting the Explorer tier into Fantasy and Sci-fi Explorers was a try to offer an option to choose the genre you prefer, but almost always in m...

Foundry VTT modules 1 and 2 are updated. Both include now 10 maps. I added The Tomb of the Desert Queen (Canopic Tomb) and Mines of Cthonus maps to vol 2.
Also, Miska's Maps Premium Battle Maps volume 3 is now published with full 10 maps.
You can find the manifest and download links here (requires Hero+ tier):
Hi patrons!
I made some updates to the Foundry VTT modules. I've received some feedback from Forge vtt users and I've tried to make some improvements based on that. I contacted Kakaroto, the developer of Forge vtt, to get things working better and I got a recommendation that the modules should be installed through the zip method to make sure the assets get optimized proper...

As the September maps are now released, here's what's up next:
I'm going to make the long-overdue Foundry VTT module updates first. For the modules I will:
Arakhefon the spider goddess, is the keeper of dreams, imagination, and lies. She holds together the web of secrets connecting the Infernal and Celestial planes and many other dimensions between them, including the material plane.

Hangar Bay 3040 is one of many cliffside hangar bays owned by Mama Fadee at the Mas Azark starport. Mama Fadee and her crew are known as great astromechanics and engineers. They have put together ships that others would have deemed as junk ready to be sold for scavengers. Especially Mama's mechanic Kazom is known for...

I while back I ran a survey and asked you what games are you playing. The idea was to find out which systems might be good options to use for possible adventure releases. Instead, I found out that there's a quite significant number of cyberpunk players/GMs. So, I decided to prioritize cyberpunk maps, or at least sci-fi and modern maps that also work for cyberpunk, pretty high, and here's a batt...

2020-09-29 21:41:26 +0000 UTC View PostI've been thinking which is the best way to use my time working on the maps. More maps or variants (day/night, different environments, themes, etc.)?
Variants take usually take a day from me to prepare, which is usually the same it takes to make the line art for a medium-sized map or to complete a smaller map.
Which do you prefer?
2020-09-25 08:32:24 +0000 UTC View PostI was thinking about how to get something interesting out of this map project and there have been previous plans to make some kind of a modular map. So, I thought I would make a series of connecting maps with a consistent theme (actually three, one for each month for the rest of the year) and I'd like...

This message is especially to my Hero tier patrons, but might interest others too so I made this post public.
Just recently I got informed about an issue with the TIFF file layers in GIMP and started investigating the issue with the help of one of my patrons. Seems like the TIFF files are all flat in GIMP and Krita, while they open just fine with layers in P...
2020-09-23 06:35:51 +0000 UTC View PostIn January I made a new year's resolution that I will make 300 maps by the end of the year. I'm quite a lot behind, but I still intend to make this happen.
This is just to notify you so you won't be surprised when i start to push out maps with limited content. I will make these maps VTT compatible (140 px per square and aligned to the grid), but to save time per map I will make only one ...
Hi patrons,
Here's a quick post about the current status of the maps and other updates.
The kitchen renovation has progressed without big surprises, but it has taken more time than anticipated. Obviously this has also affected my time to work on the maps. Regardless, I'm still confident that I'm going to get the planned maps and some extra releases and updates done on top of t...

Towers with powerful ballistas have been built to strategic positions to fight these colossal monstrosities and their minions.

In celebration of the release of Rime of the Frostmaiden and the (hopefully) cooling weather as we move into the fall and winter seasons of the year, a collection of 36 TTRPG content creators have come together to create a massive 150x180 grid map with new monsters, ambient music, miniatures, and magic items to all complement one another!

So, what systems are you playing at the moment? Or if I publish adventures (or other content) with my maps, which system would you prefer or which one would be most beneficial to you (i.e. easy t...
