Instructions: coming soon.

Packs marked with an asterisk (*) have been upscaled from 140ppi to 256ppi. They will mostly work just fine, but they were created before I started designing assets with DungeonDraft in mind.

Hangman's Beach & Whale Graveyard [33x51]

Update: sorry for the double post. We had a glitch. 

Well, we decided we needed a good old "beach" map, but I got pretty inspired and 17 variations is what came out of it.

Underground Lake [43x77 + ISO]

"Suddenly without any warning he trotted splash into water! Ugh! it was icy cold. That pulled him up sharp and short.
