The idea for this map was originally for a mini-map, but it turned out as a bit bigger map. The idea for the map was originally by "HR" on Twitter. This map was made with Star Wars in mind, but I tried to make the map generic enough, so that it could be used in most scifi, cyberpunk and why not modern secret agent setti...

Last night I drew a little map and in the morning I noticed that my $30 per creation goal for software subscription was met (well, it's 12 cents short, but I consider the goal met :) ). I'm really happy about this and very grateful to all of you for supporting my work! Thank you!
As I might have mentioned in some context before, we have five kids at home and my ...
I had an idea of a map with something that could be used for more investigative adventure. Instead of abandoned ruins and murky dungeons, I decided to go with a temple that is actually a façade for a demon, an immortal monster or an undead monstrosity, like a vampire. I didn't want to specify what the monster is, so you can pick your own favorite monster of the week that fits the PC's power le...

Here's a map of an abandoned underground keep that I drew to test a new sketch book I got today.
This map has a big deep chasm at the center, and there's a pool of water at the bottom of it. An underground lake or river perhaps? The stairs built into the chasm's wall lead down into the keep. The stairs are old and crackled. Anyone stepping on the stairs should be caref...

I drew this map to test my new Rhodia dotpad that I got in mail yesterday.
Thanks for your support! It really matters to me. It's very likely that I would not have ordered this notepad without your help.

I started to experiment with some alternative fill patterns to replace the "Dyson-style" hatch pattern with something more suitable for spaceships and other technical structures. After a few tries I came up with this pattern. I made a small sample, and decided to make a bit larger map using the same pattern. This little experiment tu...

I just got this new cliffside temple finished. This dungeon map consists of a temple where unnatural rituals of reincarnation are conducted by zealous priests of Nahkhiir, an old forgotten god of deception and death. In the caverns hidden deep in the mountain dwells an abomination. A creature who feeds on the living, but also has the power to resurrect the dead - for a price...

The last release was a wrecked walker, and right after I made that map I thought that I need to make another map to go with it. I decided to continue riffing off of Star Wars The Force Awakens and ended up drawing a map of a small trading post for trading junk and other scavenged valuables for food, water, clothes, and equipment. Sometimes maybe even for a ride out of the wasteland.&nb...

Here's a quick freebie map. The idea was to make some kind of base or "dungeon" that would be on a side of a much larger facility, like an atmosphere processor, refinery or a colony station.
This map was made on a post-it note with a 0.3 fine tip pen and pencil.

I dare to say that this new scifi hatch pattern I'm testing is starting to look pretty darn good.
This quick test turned into a full map of panopticon-class prisoner transport vessel, but I'm still waiting for some ideas to pop-up regarding the interior details. Ideas are welcome, as always.
But even if there was no grand plan for this map, this will be one of the Ja...

This extra freebie is a quick map I did to test the idea of vertically built spaceships and it was kind of inspired by The Expanse tv-series and one of its spaceships. So, in other words, this map was made hard scifi in mind – no artificial gravity except for rotatio...

The idea for this map I got from the latest Star Wars movie. In the movie Rey, a wasteland scavenger has her home in a wrecked AT-AT walker. I though that it would be a really cool idea to have some sort of hideout built inside a wrecked walker. I expanded on the idea a bit and designed the map so that the walker has fallen against a rock formation and as the walker bashed against the rocks an ...

Here's another Star Wars The Force Awakens inspired map that I'm working on.
This map will introduce a small community of scavengers trading junk and other exotic items that can be found from the wastelands.
This will be out by the end of the next week.

The 1st map of the year is ready for the final touches. This one will be released before the weekend with a little background. Obviously the map is inspired by Star Wars Force Awakens :) There's other Star Warsy maps coming in January in addition to this one.

Originally this map was supposed to be a small minimap. Well, it's not exactly a big map either, but it turned out as much bigger what I intended. The idea was given by Steve Barr on Twitter when I was asking for some ideas for a minimap. The idea happened to fit my own plans regarding my own Force and Destiny Star Wars RPG campaign.

One of our Efreet-class shuttles was intercepted by local insurgents and we have located the shuttle’s crash site.
We expect the insurgent to be scavenging the ship wreck for parts and taking all survived crew members as hostages.
The shuttle has an armored pod for VIP persons and we have picked up its signal close to...

Extra Freebie: Here's a quick practice I made with different sized ink pens. I actually took my spare pen pouch by accident instead of my map pens and could not work on another map. So, I decided to do a quick map on a coffee break with the pens I had with me.
I don't have any kind of story to go with this map, but I imagined the nose of the ship and the cockpit as something l...

Extra freebie: Invaded Shelter
I started to draw a map without a clear idea and it turned out as an underground shelter or lab of sorts. There is also some tunnels leading into the shelter - or perhaps out of it?
Anyway, this didn't quite turn out as I hoped and just gave it a quick finish. You can find the map attached below with this ...

A post-it sized minimap turned accidentally into a full size map. One Imperial Orbital Listening Post SB-426 coming up on Patreon soon.
This map is designed with Star Wars in mind and it should be usable in any space opera setting, but not necessarily so well in more hard SF settings.

This small outpost is located in the middle of a remote marshland. The structure is quite old and made of concrete bricks and light-weight elements assembled on site. The facility is mainly powered by old solar panels installed on the roof of the main building. These panels provide energy for lightning, communications and other essential electrical systems. Otherwise the facilities are quite st...

Here's a map I started a while ago, but finished today. The idea for this map came from a Star Wars campaign that I'm playing with my boys. The two Clone Wars era bounty hunters need to extract a VIP from the holding cells on the top floor. They can either try sneaking in from the air vent next to the defense turret, or fly into the base blasters blazing. I wonder how that is going to turn out ...

After much consideration, I'm on Patreon. I didn't plan to do this, but here I am.
It all started with a post-it note and a weekly meeting at the office. I had a pad of post-it notes and an ink pen and I was waiting for the meeting to start. Suddenly I got on idea to draw a map. That was the first actual RPG, or dungeon map, in years if you don't count quick doodles ...
