Here's a series of WIP maps I'm working on for one of my long-time patrons on Patreon (link in bio). This still needs shading and color, but this will be an interesting set of Cthulhu Mythos themed maps set in a mining town.
I might finish the bio lab plan in between maps, so I could get it out tomorrow.
Hi all!
As coronavirus is already affecting people all around the world I thought it might be in order to send a message regarding the situation.
I live in Finland myself and our government has taken quite harsh measures to control the spreading of the virus and flatten the curve. People are recommended to stay at their homes and avoid any unneces...
2020-03-26 08:44:42 +0000 UTC View PostOk. Time for a map poll where you can vote for your favorites from the list below. I'll pick at least 4 most popular choices and make those into map packs and extra maps.
This time the poll includes some ideas submitted by you and this poll is open for a week and remember that you can vote for more than one option.
SF = Sci-fi map pack
FA = Fantasy map pack
Hi all,
It just came to my attention that I have not received notifications from messages sent through Patreon. I'm not sure about the reason for this yet, but I suspect I might have messed up something with the notification settings (90% of the cases are user mistakes, the rest 10% are system failures :D ).
I will go through the settings and messages right now.
I'm ...

This crashlanded airship could be a recently crashed wreck or a ship that has been lost for some time. Whatever the case might be, it has been transporting something valuable and you better find it before the scavengers.

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that I've been a bit busy with the COVID-19 situation in Finland. Here's a quick recap of the situation:
Mas Azark spaceport is a small but busy backwater spaceport. Mostly, it is used as a fueling and maintenance depot for small passenger and cargo ships, and more recently, also as an unofficial mercenary outpost.
Mas Azark is located on a small rocky planet with vast oceans and steep mountain ranges in Bekor Beta star system.
The system has ...

OK. So, my year has not started quite as I planned. There have been some unexpected and unfortunate surprises that have seriously affected my evenings and weekends. There have been all kinds of things from a stubborn kid that won't sleep to network issues and a cat with diarrhea :D
As you might know, I'm not a full-time cartographer. I have a day job a...
2020-02-24 09:12:56 +0000 UTC View PostInstead of a map poll, I'm going to collect suggestions for upcoming maps from you.
Write your suggestions in the comments with the following rules:
I happened to work on some handouts, like news articles, diary notes, etc. lately and started thinking would this kind of extra content be in demand here with you people.
Specific articles, notes, and diary excerpts are of course something that do not have much generic use, but would you find some kind of templates or handouts more generic in nature useful for your games?
After getting better I had to finalize a big commission I've been working for some time already. I finally got it out of my hands and now I can think of other things for a change :D
Next, I'll crunch some pending maps from January and this month's maps before the end of the month. Starting next month things should be back to normal again.
So, new maps coming finally later this week....
2020-02-10 13:02:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
I'm a bit late with this month's poll due to some other obligations, but it's not too late to have a quick poll.
This time there are fewer options because I already have some map packs decided in advance. Because January's releases are still pending, I decided to move some of them to February. There are also requests from my highest tier Ultra patrons.
Hi all!
The public collection of the latest map releases is coming a bit late now because of a really tough flu and bronchitis that's been sucking out my energy and kept me away from doing stuff. Lately, I've been dealing with the huge pile of work that accumulated while I was recovering in bed in fever.
Anyways, I'm feeling better now and plans are looking slightly more clear...
2020-02-05 09:51:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, I'm back to work from my sick leave and as expected, there's a huge load of stuff in my day job and at home to be done. I still aim to do the minimum releases for January (one Fantasy and Scifi map pack + 2 extra maps), but these will be delayed to early February. They will be released likely during the first week of February. Sorry about this.
February map poll is coming soon â...
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I've been in bed-rest for the most of the the last 4 days. On Saturday I got a really high fever in a matter of hours, probably the influenza, and I still have fever and headache. This will affect this week's map releases, and probably the whole month's releases at this point.
Once I recover enough to start working again, I'll get back to you with...
Hello all!
Here's a quick update on what's going on and what's coming up.
Currently, I'm finishing a big commission that has been pending a bit because of the tough flu I've been having for six weeks already. I should have this off my hands on Monday and then I'll start working on the January maps.
This months list looks like as fo...

Arkfall colony is a small colony built around an old lander shuttle. The original colony ship is mostly stripped down for parts and materials, but there is still a minimally functional interstellar ship orbiting the planet mostly automated. The orbital ship provides the colony with satellite imaging and geolocation data. It also acts as a relay for interstellar communication.

Just a quick update about some practical stuff.
I have a discord server and I use that to post WIP pics of the maps, give quick updates and so on. It's also a great place to give map suggestions or feedback.
I'll try to keep my patreon feed dedicated to map releases, polls, monthly news, and important news, so i...
After the clones are fully grown, they are implanted with memories. Mostly the ENGRAM-payload is completely constructed, but some times the memories are uploaded from another person. Unfortunately, the current memory extraction process is fatal to the source subject, so this is a one-time operation.
Usually, ENGRAM memory implants are used to bring clones to an operational state in a matt...

From now on I'm listing the candidates with tags "Sci-Fi" and "Fantasy" for clarity. Some might be in a bit grey area – for example, many fantasy maps might be useful in some space opera settings and some sci-fi maps might be ...
2020-01-03 15:13:48 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Let's start the new year with some news & updates.
After running a few quick surveys and looking at my most popular maps, I decided that during 2020 I will concentrate mainly on two things.
My new year's resolution: I'm going to have 300 published maps on Patreon by the end of 2020. This means about 8 maps per month, or 2 maps per week on average based on the current 209 maps.
Totally doable.
So, how am I going to do this?
My intention is to publish around 4 color map packs per month with full set of patreon-exclusive variants.
$2 tier patrons will g...

Dark Knight 5 is a small outpost built on the side of a fairly large asteroid. Other asteroids around the base hide its location well and also protect the base from direct long-range scans or beam blasts.
The base has quarters for a crew of 18 (4 officers and 14 crew in double bunk beds). The base has a small hangar bay for small transport crafts, ships' boats, or shuttles and a sma...

Here's a steampunk ornithopter – or a magical aircraft – I did out of the schedule. I was contacted by DM Dave and he asked if I had any aircraft deckplans. I noticed a severe lack of small aircraft deckplans in my archive, so we decided to collaborate on this. I did the map as a quick exercise, and DM Dave did stats for this and shared an adventure that uses the aircraft in it. ...
