November's Map of the Month Preview - Fortress of the Demonknight

November's Map of the Month Preview - Fortress of the Demonknight

Hey,

Time for a preview!

We loved making the recent aG'nahel Gate hellscape map so much that we wanted to revisit the location with November's Map of the Month. We decided to also address the s...

November's Third Map - Decision!

Hey,

Thanks to everyone for suggesting something for November's Third Map. So many good ideas, and even though we can only pick one, it also gives us a great insight into what people are keen for, and ideas for the future.

We picked something that will be very atmospheric, feels suitable for the season, and should have widespread use...

For some reason there seems to be lots of talk about hell, and hellscapes, and hellish things right now - can't think why...

Anyway, since many of you may soon be wanting to play in a lava-filled hellscape, we wanted to put something out that would be a fun place to explore. So, cower in fear and behold The aG'nahel Gate!

Remember, the Third Map is usually between 20x20 and 30x30 in siz...

October's Megadungeon Preview - Goblinstair Cavern Sublevel 3

Well done - you've made it all the way down through three levels of Goblinstair Cavern. How nice to find a larger cavern, with a little more space. It's almost like an arena here.

Oh. It is an arena? And you have to fight?  Against... that??

Ragnar's Keep - 50% Off!

Hey,

Many many months ago one of our Patrons, Melestrua, contacted us after we released the Ruins of Mydstep Keep on Patreon, and said he felt inspired by it to imagine it before it was ruined, and maybe write some info about it for a future Drivethru release. We thought it was a good idea, and said we'd make a set of maps to go with it. View Post

October's Third Map Preview - The Summer Gardens

Summer might be over, but it doesn't have to be in your fantasy realms!

October's Third Map is this fancy formal garden, on a 30x30 map. It has fountains, nicely planted beds, benches, statues, walls, hedges, mazes - everything a self-respecting noble puts in their garden!

A perfect place for intrigue, methinks!

October's Alt-Version Poll

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the excellent suggestions for the alt-version of the Fey Council Glade, your Map of the Month for October. It was genuinely difficult to narrow it down to five options for the poll.

However, we took that difficult task by the horns, and here are the 5 options to pick from:

October's Map of the Month Preview - Glade of the Fey Council

Hi everyone!

Preview time!  We often don't do enough Elven or Fey themed locations, and they make such good places for adventure, we thought we'd make some steps to rectify that.

So, October's Map of the Month is a 20x30 map of the Glade of the Fey Council - magical woods, a sparkling pool, and an ancient location for meetings o...

Delving deeper into Goblinstair Cavern, we reach the 'residential' level - with ramshackle homes, tents and sleeping quarters.  I wouldn't trust the wooden platforms though!

September's Alt-Version Preview - The Dark Sword

Hello all,

The winner of the recent alt-version poll (which was pretty close!) was a twisted, evil version of the Cathedral of the Sword. We've decided to place the Dark Sword in a demonic wasteland, in suitably hazardous ruins :)

September's Sci-Fi map preview - Mountain Landing Pad

Inspired by fond memories of watching Rogue One, we thought the landing pad on Eadu, caught in swirling snow and harshly lit, was a fantastic setting, and one that would be great to play on.

So, we've made our own Eadu-inspired map. This 20x30 map will be part of the September reward bundle for those on the  Sci-Fi tier.

Initially planning for 4 patron-suggested tiles, we were so impressed that we went with eight instead. They've turned out so nicely, and some of them are locations we would never have thought o...

September's Map of the Month Preview - Cathedral of the Sword

Another day, another post :)

Time for the preview of Septembers' Map of the Month. As it's the start of autumn, we thought a seasonally appropriate map would be best. 

So, here's the ruined Cathedral of the Sword in a lovely autumnal forest, with a special Sword in a Stone at the center.

Hey,

Deeper and deeper into Goblinstair Cavern!

If your party has managed to get past the fortifications at the top of Goblinstair Cavern, you come down to the fungus farm! Stairs lead deeper, but perhaps your party want to venture across the rickety bridges, past the farmers hut, and into the fungus cave.  Or perhaps not!

Hey everyone,

The winner of the alt-version poll that we held last week was a suggestion to turn the Tomb of the Sorcerer King into a multi-dimension dungeon, with areas in the Feywild and Shadowfell.

We thought about a plausible way to incorporate these two different dimensions, and then came up with the idea of Nargithrin's Nexus. ...
