Sometimes plans change.
As you know, the idea behind our alt-versions is to reimagine and reskin the MotM, making it into a new location, without having to make a new map from scratch. So, with that in mind we sat down to convert the Adventurer's Guild into the Caravanserai (winning option from the poll).
However, once we starting pl...

Hey everyone,
Time for a preview!
For May, we've gone with what we hope will be a very useful location - a futuristic scrap-yard. Filled with piles of metal scrap, chunks of wrecked spacecraft etc, it's a great location to encounter mutants, outcasts, rouge scrap-bots or a weird creature.
We've also made an interior overlay for...

It's time for the alt-version poll!
If you recall, the MotM is an Adventurer's Guild - a place for adventurers from all over the kingdom to gather, meet, rest, trade and get info.
We had some excellent ideas for an alt-version - we've picked our favourites:

Hey everyone,
At the start of the month we asked you to pick one of the many Alt-Poll runners-up to get another shot at existing, and the winning entry in the poll was to turn the Dark Wizard's guild into a barrow for a King and their followers.
It's a classic place to explore, and we've mapped out both the surface and interior of th...

Hey everyone,
Time to see the next maps from these two megadungeons.
The Dark Road Map 4 - Megadungeon
For the 4th map we've stumbled into fungus filled caverns, with the air alive with spores and magic.
Hey everyone,
It's been a manic 10 days but we've managed to get the first 5 Candlekeep Mysteries adventures fully mapped and out, including this one - Shemshime's Bedtime Rhyme!
This creepy story takes place entirely within the Firefly Cellar, a library tower beneath Candlekeep, lit by firefly lamps. As such, there aren't any other ...

At the start of the month we shared with you the MotM and three variants, and asked you to suggest ideas for what's inside the ruined-entrance. There were some fantastic ideas, and we picked our favourite for each. We tried in some cases to add a few elements from other suggestions too.

For April's Sci-Fi map, we wanted to imagine New Atami in the far future, when civilisation has collapsed and the natural world is reclaiming the city. And whilst we were making that, we inadvertently also produced a recent post-apoc ruin, and thought we just had to give you that as well!
