Hey everyone,
We've been working on the alt-version of the Cartographers' Guildhall over the past couple of days. The winner of the poll (of 6 amazing ideas) was to turn the Guildhall into a prison. We had a great time planning this, trying to make it into a realistic prison that is packed full of story ideas and locations that will feed i...

Hey everyone!
We thought that it was about time for a spaceship! The Godwit is an Exploration ship, equipped with enough to cope with travelling long distances, and with sufficient crew. We're going to provide it with a space background, a hangar background, and also a plain white background. This will be the January sci-...

Hi there!
Thanks so much for your support this month, and for your understanding. We're really happy to be able to send you links for December's Maps. It's a great set - two levels of a Wood Elf Village, Day & Night Volcanic Sacrifice, the final level of the Goblinstair Megadungeon. Sci-Fi supporters also have th...
2019-12-12 00:10:15 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Thanks to everyone that suggested an alt-version for the Cartographers' Guildhall map. It was clearly very inspiring because there were lots of great ideas. Our initial 'shortlist' had 14 ideas on it!
We've narrowed it down to 6:
Ad-hoc War Room - the Guildhall has been taken over as a military HQ, with...

Hi everyone,
First off, thank you to everyone that has shared a kind word or message of condolence. It's been a very shocking and upsetting week, but it's getting better and your support has been very much appreciated. We're slowly working on maps (it's a good distraction) and so your rewards for December will be out in the next week...
2019-12-08 11:42:10 +0000 UTC View PostJust a few words to explain that unfortunately your maps bundle will be a little delayed this month. At the weekend, Joe's Mum died suddenly and unexpectedly, so we are a bit all over the place with things right now (quite literally even, as Joe's family live quite far from us). Hopefully you will understand this has set us back a bi...

Hi there!
Completely forgot that we hadn't previewed the final level of Goblinstair Cavern megadungeon.
Sublevel 5 is a dank flooded cavern that is accessed from the Chieftain's chamber. It's the perfect place to put a huge boss monster, or perhaps a swarm of fang-toothed little things that are just as scary! It also has a tunn...

Hey all,
We love New Atami (and it's clearly something many of you enjoy too), so we wanted to expand the range.
We figured that a large wide city plaza would be a useful location, and the bright neon lights would be very atmospheric.
Hi all,
For December's Third Map, we thought we'd visit an idea that someone suggested many weeks ago as a suggestion for a Third Map or Alt-version (can't quite remember!). We thought it was a fun idea though, and so we thought we'd go ahead with it.
We thought also that Day & Night versions would be useful, as the torch-lined p...

Hi everyone,
The winning entry for December's alt-version was to add an upper level to the Wood Elf village you'll be getting as the main map in December. It was lots of fun, and adds lots of tactical and story elements to the Wood Elf Village. We've also made suitable modifications to the lower level so there are stairs etc, and sha...

Hi everyone.
It was a very close poll, with a handful of options taking their turn at being in the lead. It finished with two options on 26%. Oh no, I hear you say.. a tie?
Well, we dug into the actual numbers, and it turns out it's not actually a tie (the percentage is just a rounded figure). There was one vote in it. T...

Hey,
We loved the various ideas in the sci-fi poll we ran last year. We were super pleased that the winner was the New Atami diner, but we also loved the other ideas. We thought that for December we'd take the runner-up in that poll and make that - so here's the Cryostasis Facility.
We've gone for a very high-tech, slightly gritty lo...

Hey all,
Time for the next preview. December's Map of the Month is going to be a 30x30 Wood Elf Village, built around a huge hollow tree. These elves are pretty civilised, and clearly appreciate the sacred pool that has been carved into the base of the hollow tree.

Hey all,
Time for a sci-fi preview :) The winning suggestion in the recent sci-fi poll we had was for a new addition to the New Atami range - a diner. It's a really classic location for cyberpunk/sci-fi stories, and definitely a good starting point for adventures.
The Hot Chop diner will be in the November reward bundle in a fe...

Happy Halloween!
We wanted to round out our Halloween Sale with one more map, and we're giving it to you for free!
It's an alt-version of a previous Patreon map - Black Scar Mine, and we're calling this The Haunting of Black Scar Mine! (good name, eh?)

Hey all,
This month the alt-version poll was, for the first time ever, a tie! We decided to make both of the winners seeing as it was a tie, and we loved the idea of both.
The two winning suggestions were for a Deathknight's undead castle, and an orc swamp caste. These will be both be in the November reward bundle, and hopefully will...

Hey all,
We're down to the penultimate level of the Goblinstair Cavern megadungeon, and here's where the ruler of Goblinstair Cavern has their throne-room. A suitably impressive space for a mightly goblin warchief, eh? And a pit to chuck those that aren't suitably impressed!
This 20x20 will be your November reward bundle :)

Hey all,
At the start of the month we held a competition to pick the Third Map for November, and it was the very atmospheric caravan camp at night. We could immediately picture how it would look, and we're happy with how it's turned out. The contrast between the lit areas and the shadows really allow interesting stealthy adventures (we've ...
