Modular Dungeon Part X

For the tenth installment of the modular dungeon series, I've included a set of labyrinthine tiles. Tight hallways and corners will force parties into single-file lines, which could provide for some interesting combat encounters. If I were running a party through these map tiles, I would probably have the small stone faces act as turret traps and have the large stone faces supply riddles to ope...

Pumpkin Patch

Thirteen scarecrows dot the sprawling rows of pumpkins before you. A winding path meanders up to a massive gourd, overgrown to the size of a house, and hollowed out into a dwelling. A roaring bonfire burns from within its withering, carved flesh. As you walk the path, you are made aware of the colossal skeleton whose bones barely protrude from the surface of the soil beneath you.

Modular Dungeon Part IX

Hey folks, we are up to the ninth installment of the modular dungeon series, and so I'm going full deathtrap dungeon. Spike pits, swinging pendulums, improbable pools of water with secret doors and dead ends abound in this set. Your players will have a blast with the shove action here.

As a reminder, Patreon has recently made an update that has broken links directed from master posts, an...

Godsreach

Hewn from solid stone, the large stairs climb treacherously along the diagonally ascending face of a massive forearm, extending from which is an open-faced palm. Shaped by the stone giants as in days of old, the stairs have been added in more recent centuries by the humanoids who have since settled into the mountains.

Edit 9/29: It has been brought to my attention that the...

Damaged Estate

The fortified estate upon the hill has seen better days. The apparent target of a giant's angry tantrum, its walls and roof are studded with boulders and speckled with holes. A great ash tree is toppled upon the east side of the building, with a large boulder lodged between its forked trunk. Nevertheless, smoke rises from the chimney and a warm glow emanates from within.

Bugbear Cave

Bioluminescent spores linger in a rolling cloud, illuminated by the tightly-packed mushrooms of the northern passages of this cavern system. The southern tunnels are lit with steel braziers and cooking fires, and full of straw sleeping pallets used by the group of occupying bugbears. The two areas are separated by an interminably deep chasm, and spanned by a precarious bridge encrusted...

Belly of the Beast

Through the grace of the gods and the might of their champions, the world-ender has been slain. Having claimed countless victims, it now lay atop a pile of smouldering rubble. Cries for help can be heard echoing from within its gaping maw. Could there be survivors inside the belly of the beast? Might treasures have been swallowed in the course of the monster's rampaging gluttony?

Old Shrine

An old shrine to an unknown deity stands forgotten in time, nestled up in the mountains. The dark granite structure has weathered the ages with grace and is an impressive work of stonemasonry. With a domed central structure surrounded by diagonally ascending tines, the building resembles a dark crown sitting atop the hillock. Smoke rises from a hole in the center of the domed ceiling, as go...

Forest Keep

The trees part to reveal a lichen-covered castle in a forest clearing, slowly being reclaimed by the wilderness. Stumps of spruce and pine encircle the moated stone fortress. Moss grows upon the roof of the covered gatehouse, which boasts an imposing, if weathered, portcullis on the other side of a slick drawbridge. A taller tower with an exposed roof peaks out from behind it, with walkways...

Planar Palace

You come to a landing on the planar staircase unlike any of the others encountered thus far. A massive structure floats about the ether, bearing resemblance to a giant ornate censer, with clouds and smoke mingling inside it and pouring out lazily from its open archways.

Infinitely Modular Staircase

Clouds of ethereal matter drift about haphazardly, revealing new sections of winding staircase extending chaotically in all directions. Landings about the staircase are occasionally accompanied by doors of all shapes and sizes, leading to various locales throughout the planes.

As with the modular dungeon series, this map is designed as a set of 9 tiles that can be rotated, flippe...

Modular Dungeon Part VIII

Hey folks! For the eighth installment of my modular dungeon series, I've included some longer pieces with some more caverns to round out the collection. Stairs are coming to the modular dungeon with the next release.

July Updates

Hey folks! Just wanted to check in and touch base with you all. I've got a lot going on right now, with some imminent updates to the Patreon, a bit of exciting news, and a few projects from friends I'm eager to show off.

In addition to the regular content I've been releasing, Sean (McRoMusic) and I have been prepa...

Mountain Summit

I'm really excited to share this one. This post and the previous were originally conceived as a single map, but I had to break it up into two because it ended up being too large and far too time consuming with all the variants I wanted to make. Spreading it across two releases has kept the file sizes down, but when I put the two maps together I have to admit I am very pleased with the results. ...

Halfling Steading

Smoke rises from chimneys dotting the tops of flower-speckled hills, with moss-covered roofs peeking out from under their earthen weight. Torchlight dances from within the subterranean cottages, as a gentle breeze rocks the sycamores overhead.

Shanties of the Sargasso: Pirate Borg Cabin Fever Game Jam

Hey everyone, I want to share something really special, albeit pretty different from my regular content. As I've mentioned previously I've been working on a submission for Limithron's game jam, an adventure and rules supplement for Pirate Borg's Dark Caribbean setting, and I have had the help of an awesome writer and dear f...

Crab Ships

Traversing through the vast expanses of the void, the Blue Crab is a small but formidable vessel. In the interest of form over function, the builders of this craft were insistent that it travel sideways rather than in a forward trajectory. Assailants would be unwise to write off the capabilities of such a ship however, and many have been fool enough to assume the claws to be little more tha...

Flooding Dungeon

A massive, central chamber of both brick masonry and natural limestone is connected by a series of caverns and constructed rooms alike. Staircases ascend to the north and west, with a set of fully-furnished living spaces on opposing sides in the hall along the western stairs, and a third winding stairway leading deeper below. While a series of statues depicting mythological creatures flank ...

Modular Dungeon Part VI

Alright, we're up to six of these now and I feel the collection is starting to get a nice mix of diverse dungeon tiles. As with most of the others in this series, this consists of a group of nine 12x12 dungeon tiles that can be rearranged, flipped or rotated into different configurations, and they are compatible with the other 5 (and counting) modular dungeon releases. I've whipped up some new ...

Cenote

The thick jungle vegetation gives way to a great gaping maw in the limestone. Rays of light filter below into the sinkhole, dancing about the surface of the spring-fed pool of crystal clear water at its base. Its cool, subterranean depths seem inviting from up above in the sticky, insect-swarmed sun.

Tangled Wreckage

A cluster of ships sit dead in the water, derelict and swaying softly in the breeze. The waters are becalmed by the masses of seaweed clumped in thickets about the vessels and extending to the horizon. One must approach from a rowboat to avoid getting mired in its overgrowth. Flotsam and jetsam clump together to form a central mass about the ships, with empty barrels lashed to planks keepin...

Modular Dungeon Part V

This next installment of the series involves some collapsed tunnels, ruins, and natural passages. They still connect at the stone walls along the pillars, so they can continue to work along with the rest of the series. Hope you enjoy these and find them versatile!

A blocky structure of glass and steel stands at the forefront of the conservatory, with double doors leading into its massive interior housing a stand of palms.
