Time to vote for the alt-version of August's Map of the Month!
With the Anniversary tournament taking place at the same time, there were fewer suggestions than usual, but there are some really good ideas, so we're excited for whichever one wins!
The options are:
Multi-dimension dungeon - Feywild areas, Shadowfell, range of dime...

It's fast, it's dangerous, it includes huge lazers - it's Skazerball!
And where do you play Skazerball? Why, in the Skazerball Arena of course, watched by crowds on the high seats around you, screaming in binary!
Whether you're there to watch, participate or sabotage, we hope this map can find a place in your post apoc/sci-fi/star wa...

Aside from the glory that goes with this, Keven has also won
'Twas a mighty battle, and truly close, but despite the vocal efforts of supporters, the noble Digestive Tract fell, and the Cartographers Guildhall emerged victorious.

We were really keen to make a Tomb map for August, since they make such good locations for a dungeon crawl, but we also wanted to do something different. So, we thought about a new theme and went with an East Asian look to the complex. Presenting the Tomb of the Sorcerer King, a 30x30 map that will be in your August rewards bundle

It's amazing that a full 6 months has passed since we started the Megadungeon reward, and produced a full 6 levels of the Fallen Stronghold, our first multi-level Patreon megadungeon.
The poll we had at the start of the month chose Goblinstair Cavern as the next megadungeon, and we were really excited to make a start on it this month. We'v...

We were overwhelmed with the number of suggestions for Crypt Rooms, to accompany our new Crypt Corridors set.
So overwhelmed, and impressed with the ideas, that we decided to double the number of winners, so 8 of the 12 rooms in the set will be from Patreon suggestions. There were some really fantastic ideas, and so we've picked a se...

Time for a preview :)
We asked you at the start of the month to vote for the Third Map, from a list of previous alt-version runner-up options, since so often there's loads of good ideas that don't quite make it.
It was really close, but the winner was a cliff village based on the Hermit Cave map. This was a fun one to make, and so he...

We've gone deep for our newest Sci-Fi map, down to the Abyssal Plain of a cold and unforgiving ocean!
Tsovinar Seafloor Mining Facility is a 30x30 map, with plenty of corridors to run around in, and atmospheric blue light spilling into the darkness of the deep ocean.

Hey!
Time to preview the alt-version map you'll be getting in July. As you probably remember, the Map of the Month for July is a 30x30 Flooded Dungeon, and the winning suggestion in the alt-version poll was to turn it into an underground Thieves' Guild, with access to the river.
And so ....ta-da!

We're going back to the popular New Atami for July's map, and then mapped a location many people have asked for over the years. This is New Atami Subway Station, a 20x30 map of the bleak tiled platform and track of part of a futuristic/cyberpunk subway station.
As we were making it we were picturing firefights from opposite sides of the tr...

Hey,
We've gone for a classic, and often requested, location for July's Map of the Month. The Flooded Dungeon is a 30x30 map showing an ancient dungeon/prison that has been partially flooded by a nearby subterranean river. With caverns, deep water, shallow water, blocked routes and old prison cells, there's lots of adventure here!
