Community Connection

Hey everyone! This poll around is a little more obviously self-serving, but I'd really appreciate it if you took five seconds to give me a quick click and let me know how you ended up hearing about the Patreon. This in turn will help build a picture for me of where most of you are coming from out in...

Village Mapmaking Guide

Here it is!

The second mapmaking guide that I've made and released as a result of your support here, the Village mapmaking guide focuses on just that, villages. Using our recent village of Poaret as the example that's broken down, I delve a little further into my own thou...

Old Owl Well

Since we released the Wyvern Tor map earlier this week, I thought it would be fitting to go back to our original battle map guide and reconfigure the Old Owl Well map into our standard battle map formatting. 

This one's free, and now has been resized and edited to nicely acc...

Wyvern Tor Photoshop Files

The Photoshop files used in making Wyvern Tor. All of the drawing elements, colors, textures, and map labeling are on separate layers, so it should be easy to not only edit the map overall within  photoshop, but take distinct portions of it for more specific uses. 

If anyth...

Wyvern Tor

 About a month ago I posted a poll here assessing where all of you stood on preferences between original content that was released here vs. maps that were based on or intended to supplement preexisting, officially published adventure modules. Responses were somewhat split between the options, b...

Town Mapmaking Guide

Module-Based Maps

Hello all!

In releasing the Crystal Kingdom map today I've been thinking a lot recently about map supplements to preexisting D&D stories/modules. The Crystal Kingdom map is an accessory to be used/listened with The Adventure Zone podcast and our battle map making guide is for...

Crystal Kingdom

This is a public post releasing a map I've made based off of one of my favorite D&D podcasts right now, The Adventure Zone. This is a map of one of the story arcs they go through in the campaign that I had personally always had a little trouble visualizing the layout of.

Thought I wou...

For right now I am only looking for a little further direction in regards to what ...

Owl Well Map Guide

Here is the first map-making guide I've produced, a step-by-step process of how I would go about making a smaller scale, single structure battle map. The map in this case just so happens to also function as a supplement to a side adventure in the Dungeons & Dragons starter adventure Lost Min...
