Hey all!
Our second bunch of Twilight maps have now been released, and for those of you who were worried - there isn't a single glittery vampire in sight!
For this release, we wanted to provide more travel locations throughout a Twilight Forest, so we've created 8 different path, crossing, and thoroughfare maps. We've also created a mushroom forest variant of each!<...

A quick Patreon Poll for you all.
Would you be interested in us starting to flesh out our maps and themes with some MAD Cartographer Lore to tie maps and adventures together?
(Perhaps) unsurprisingly, Alex & Harrison have been DM'ing and writing adventures for almost 25 years between them, and this has involved an extremely fleshed-out world setting from several c...

Our maps and variants for this month's theme so far - Wild Woods.
This theme took us back to the early days of TMC, and we decided on an updated, renewed take on forest environments. This has allowed us to present a polished, updated take on a forest environment - as well as filling in some of the gaps that we felt Forests & Wilderness had.
