Hi everyone,
I'm happy to release the second and the last part of the Outpost Sisyphus sci-fi horror scenario.
Outpost Sisyphus is structured in a cinematic style with three acts that escalate in terms of action, drama, and tension. The scenario is designed for 3-5 players plus a GM and takes at least 4-5 hours to complete or more, depending on how the p...

Sorry for the radio silence and lack of recent releases. Here's a quick status report explaining my situation a bit and a survey about 5E systems and settings.
I've been preoccupied with stuff at my day job and some family matters, and I've had time very sporadically to make new releases or finish maps. Despite the silence I've been...

This post got a bit long, sorry about the wall of text. I tried to bold text or use lists for the important stuff, so it's easier to browse through the post. There's some important stuff related to the upcoming tier and reward updates.
Please, ask or comment if there are any concerns or unclear bits. There was a lot to cover, but I didn't want to split this into m...

I have some big news for you: starting from July I will work full-time on TTRPG cartography and publishing. What this will mean in practice is that I will have full weeks to work on maps and any extra content.
Before going full steam making more content I would like to do some things first. I will use some of my time to make...

Hi everyone,
While I create mostly sci-fi and cyberpunk content, I would assume that some of you are interested in fantasy RPGs also – especially in fantasy with some sci-fi elements.

This question is for the Foundry VTT users mainly, but as I expect there to be Foundry users also on lower tiers than Hero, I'm asking this from all of you. Please disregard this post if it's not relevant to you and apologies for the "ping".
I'm going to add some extra features for my Foundry VTT maps using some of the most commonly used modules. Before doing this, I would like to h...

Hi everyone,
DasBismarck, one of my patrons gave me permission to share these weapon asset variants based on some of my previous weapon assets.
It seems like I really need to make some proper Aliens and Halo type weapon racks for my upcoming asset packs so you can have a place to store all these cool guns and blades :D

While the original idea was a cargo airlock of a salvage station, this map can be used also as a regular cargo airlock. I also included a version with a force field and an unpropped version for further customization.

In 2019 I did a this poll last time and I thought it would be a good time to do this poll again.
For the past year or so I’ve been doing mostly tactical scale maps and the level of detail has increased at the same time as the scale has gotten smaller.
What kind of scale and level of detail you prefer or need most often in your games?
This map is a simple warehouse building for storing various tools, spare parts, chemicals, and explosives. This map comes with three variants and an unpropped version. The variants include a normal version with no damage, a variant with a crashlanded cargo pod, and a crashland variant added with a raging fire.
This map is designed for the upcoming sci-fi horror adventure, which will...

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the radio silence. to be honest, this month did not go quite as I planned. My father passed away earlier this month and this messed up my plans, obviously. Chris has been working on the adventure and I'm working on the maps for the first part of the adventure.
Below you can see the rough drafts for the locations and these should be released be...

We had a Discord meeting with Chris who is teaming up with me to write some adventure content to go with my maps. One topic we discussed was what game system to use. Especially when thinking long-term and making a possible series of adventures.
Obviously, for copyright reasons, we cannot use any existing game settings, but we can deal with this by providing ...

An orange and red neon sign flickers at the corner of Destiny and Horizon. Standing watch since the alley was built. Back when cars couldn't hover, belonging to a time when the sun's light could still reach the alley. Now only man-made lights try desperately to keep the thick urban smog at bay.
Sunset Alley is a market locked in deep city life. A place to get lost in. A...

I've been working on modular maps for too long, but for a reason or another I have not been satisfied with the results or I've had to put them aside for some other reason.
