In a city of sorrow, floating above the lava flows and burning cinders of the plane of fire, sits an opulent palace of gleaming brass. Eight minarets surround a large central dome at the building’s center. Guards look down from behind stone crenelations atop the gatehouse, beyond which the imposing projection of wealth and power can be beheld in all its grandeur. Blemished by a long and w...

Turquoise waves crash upon the sea stacks and lap at white sands, bringing debris from the nearby shipwreck ashore. A breeze sends the palm swaying and tugs at the billowing walls of the makeshift shelter. The scavenged rations run thin.
The salty breath of the sea mists upon the wooden bow of the ship. A northerly wind catches the sails, launching the vessel forward into rou...

McRoMusic will be writing a track to accompany whatever map and token theme you choose. Please vote for up to three.
The musty, damp chill of the underground captures your senses as you descend the spiral staircase into the crypt's depths. Flickering torches cast golden light over stone tiles and crimson rugs, but neither flame nor carpet can muster enough warmth to dispel the cold indifference of death hanging heavily in the air.
Thirty open graves are aligned in rows before a mausoleum flanked by...
Billowing clouds swirl between great alabaster cliffs, with two larger than life angelic statues carved from the rocks holding up a precariously balanced architectural structure. Gleaming gold-ornamented railings line the perimeters of the open-air stonework towers which are held aloft by a series of marble pillars. Beams of light shine down through parting clouds upon the celestial dwellin...

Hey folks, I've got a little free bonus content for you, courtesy of my friend One Page Mage, who writes quick 5e single-session encounters. For this encounter, I have modified content from my Mimic Colony release, changing the furnishings and adding a cellar and secret larder to one of the base cabin maps. I hope you e...

A broken wagon lay in pieces in a little wooded hollow along the mountain road. A makeshift campsite sits adjacent to the damaged vehicle, where two bedrolls lay in the open grass next to a firepit. Sheltered from the wind by rocky walls, it seems as if whoever rested here had no challenge starting a fire, for a few red coals can be seen scattered about the ashes.

Mud sticks to your boots as you pass under the canopy of old growth. Dappled light pours down from above, illuminating the soggy trail and the dew-sprinkled foliage upon the forest floor. The sound of a rushing stream is accompanied by the flute-like trills of a singing thrush.
I really enjoyed the modular dungeon tiles I put out in the Labyrinth map set a while back, and after a...

Hello patrons!
A troll sits at a camp at the end of a bridge, bemoaning the task of collecting a toll on all crossing travelers. Will the heroes aid the troll with its job satisfaction woes? Will they vanquish the monster? Or will they simply pay the toll?

I will be gone for a few days on a camping trip and this poll will close upon my return this ...
Smoke rises from a charred crater at the impact site of an asteroid. Otherworldly blue light pulses from within a hollow in the rock. Covered in softly glowing crystals, the chunk of space debris sits firmly embedded in the earth. In spite of the heat and smoke, you feel inexplicably drawn to the ethereal glow, which swells and recedes like the breath of a great being. It is almost as if th...

A temple rests on a spur atop the ridgeline, with a path of stone tiles switchbacking up the mountain’s face. A wall of relief carving is highlighted by the flanking staircase that climbs to the threshold of the cathedral. Ornate sculptural features decorate the exterior of the structure.

Traces of pinkish light swirl about in a glowing pattern upon the air, weaving a bridge across the churning void of the alien realm. The bridge ends at a stone altar that stands prominently at the precipice. Light pulses from its four corners, emanating from some strange violet crystals that are hoisted skyward by snakelike objects made of some unknown material. Vats filled with brains susp...

It is said that the cruel wizard who built the Labyrinth had hallways constructed between the main passages that were too narrow for the minotaur’s horns. The unfortunate souls who found themselves lost in the beast’s maze would seek these spaces out, only to find them heavily trapped and reeking of death, and yet time and time again they would choose this death over the minotaur that h...

Hey folks, this week I've got a special release for you, as I've teamed up with Instant Encounters, McRoMusic, and Jan Loos to bring all of our collective patrons a series of quick adventures with maps, tokens, and music!
The package consists of:
Hey folks!
This week I am excited to release the House on Gryphon Hill, a 5 floor manor from the Ravenloft setting, just in time for the launch of Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft.
This map was created as a commission for a client who is kind enough to allow me to release it on Patreon. This free map falls under WotC's 2021-05-16 05:29:04 +0000 UTC View Post
You open the set of heavy oaken double doors to reveal a rectangular chamber. Fire burns in braziers on each end of the space, flanking another set of doors across the way and sending flickering lights to dance about the corners of the room. A pathway of red-checkered tiles leads to the far door. You can hear chanting from within.
As promised, I've released a 5 room dungeon that covers th...

This time I kept a few themes on the poll that have consistently received some votes but never made the cut. I've also added a few new ones in to spice things up. Please vote for up to three map/token ideas you'd like to see this May....
2021-05-05 23:00:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello patrons,
Thanks so much for all your feedback on the recent poll. I've got another one coming soon to determine next month's boss monster map.
While there was some interest in seeing some different kinds of content on here, it's pretty clear that by and large you all want more maps, and specifically some more dungeon and interior scenes, so that's what I am going to make. I mi...

You approach a hollow within the cliff’s face. A natural stone archway welcomes you into a cavernous space with a massive opening in its ceiling. Light pours in from above, casting deep shadows about the corners of the chamber. As you approach, you see statuary in various stages of ruin scattered about the ground. The figures of humanoids, beasts, and monsters alike are strewn throughout,...

As some of you who are close to me are already aware, I have been burning out working my management position while trying to continuously raise the bar on the content I've been releasing, and so I made the decision to step down to part-time at my day job so I can progress my career as a fantasy illustrator. While I'...

You descend the stairs leading deeper into the dungeon. Its simple stone masonry is unassuming, but the flickering light from the chamber at the foot of the steps suggests you may not be alone. Fires burn in the twin braziers that rest upon the far wall, and a set of unopened chests sits conspicuously on either side of the threshold. All is still and suspiciously quiet, save for the occasio...

The land opens up before you as you climb the final switchback and ascend the mountain's summit. The wind whips over the steep grade, whistling between six stone pillars that stand tall surrounding a circular altar. The effort in building upon such a site begs the question, what purpose could these ancient monoliths serve?
This map pack contains 12 map variants, each with a gri...

Mist swirls about you, heavily obscuring your party. You can barely see your hand in front of your face. The air is humid and sticky, but not nearly so uncomfortable as disconcerting. What dangers lurk hidden in the fog cloud?
April fools!

Wind howls as it passes through the narrow canyon passage, stirring up dust as it sweeps the craggy walls. A winding switchback climbs alongside a cascading run, and an unadorned bridge crosses above a majestic waterfall. A massive stone gate towers over the peak height of the passage, with the stream and the pathway descending from beneath it. The carved heads of a dragon, a lion and a ram...

A natural void in the stone extends before you. Dark and damp, with a draft of cool air emanating from its egress, the space is hardly inviting. But who could resist the mystery of exploring its depths? What dangers will you face within its cavernous halls? What ancient treasures rest within, long forgotten to the surface realms?
This map is designed to expand upon "The Cave," my first co...

I know I had said I would release one more map for the month of February, and that was certainly the intent, but I've got some big real life stuff going on right now that has split my focus. I probably could have gotten this map out tonight (I am 98 percent of the way done) but I don't want to make it seem like I am trying to squeeze one more paid post out of the month...
