Ready for a preview of next month's main map? Good :)
We decided that it would be nice to have a map that tied in with Marracombe Mill, your March reward map. In the adventure supplement we have a plot hook involving a grain goddess angered by the miller, and so we thought having her temple would be a useful addition, and give you some fle...

Hey,
We've started a little project that will run over the next few months, and this is the first part of it. Let me explain. We started selling maps on DrivethruRPG over 5 years ago, and it's no exaggeration to say the standard of our art has changed somewhat. We were looking at some of our very early free maps, and thought that the...

Hi there,
We've just sent download links for the March rewards to everyone that has had their Patreon payment processed successfully.
It's certainly a bumper set this month - two multilevel maps (the mill & alchemist's lab), a 30x30 Icelandic beach, a 20x20 Fallen Stronghold (with both gold & non-gold versions), a 5 page adve...

We loved reading through your suggestions for the Third Map, based around the theme of 'pirates'. There were lots of great ideas, and it was tricky to narrow it down. We've tried to get a good mix of locations and theme...

Hi everyone,
For April's third map, we'd like your suggestions around a theme. We'll pick our favourites and then create a poll where you can vote for the idea you like best.
So, the theme is 'pirates', since the Ghosts of Saltmarsh supplement due out in a while looks very exciting!
Your idea should be a fantas...

Hey there!

We've just released a new map set on DrivethruRPG. It's a multiple level set called 'Down The Drain'. The upper level is a city map ...

Preview Time!
Last month we asked you for suggestions as to the Third Map, and our theme was a location that would be really useful for your campaign. Our favourite option was Jörg Pentz's icy coastline map, and we immediately could picture how it would look. We're happy with how it's turned out.
So, thi...

In March you'll get the third level of the Fallen Stronghold, our 6-part mega-dungeon that we're adding to each month.
Sublevel 2 is a bit of a sub-boss level. With the smashed-in entrance doors on the first level, and then the destruction and gouge marks on the next, it's clear something large has come down here. And in the Feast H...

Morning!
Time for a preview of March's Alt-Version map. The winning idea from the poll we held was the Alchemist's Lab (gained almost half of the votes!, and so we've modified the Old Mill map to make it into a suitable location for an alchemist.
There's all manner of strange potions being created in the lab, and the effluent that fl...

It's preview time! A little while back we asked for some sci-fi suggestions before running a poll of our favourite options. The clear winner was a cyberpunk/bladerunner streets & rooftops map, so here it is - we've named it the Streets of New Atami.
It was lots of fun making the neon lighting and of course, as it's a cyberp...

We always enjoy reading through your suggestions for the alt-version of the Map of the Month, and this time was no different. In case you've forgotten, the Map of the Month for March will be the Old Mill.

Yay! The problems over at Drivethru appear to be sorted, and so now, two weeks after it was finished, we can finally let you get The Spectre of Tilleadh Castle, a companion map to Tilleadh Castle in your February rewards bundle.
The Third Map - Winner
Thank you for all of your ideas for the third map. We went through all the ideas and held a grand winner-stays-on fight to decide our favourite.
Winner - The last map standing was Jörg Pentz's idea for a beach leading to cliffs and a ravine heading off inland (pic...

We're sure that this location has been asked for many times, both on our Facebook/Twitter etc, and here on Patreon. When we made the Adventure Supplement for Tilleadh Castle and included an old mill on the location map, we decided a great map for March would be a proper water mill.
We've gone a little crazy here though ...

Once again we want to thank everyone for their support this past month. You should have a message in your inbox with a Dropbox download link for the February rewards, which is a bumper set:
Time to get thinking about March's Third Map!
This month we'd like you to tell us about a map that would be really useful for your game or campaign. Where will the party be travelling to soon? Where will they be exploring? What location have you tried to find a map for before your players arrive there?

We're currently sitting on our hands waiting for Drivethru to iron-out the residual problems from their recent server migration - we've got a great map we want to upload! We will let you know here as soon as it is online as it is definitely something useful for patrons. So check back soon (fingers crossed) for an awesome discou...

Good morning!
We've been working on the Third Map for February's reward bundle, which was chosen at random from the selection of ideas you provided around the theme of 'New Year'. The winner was CrashGem's idea of a battle inside a clock tower, behind the faces of the clocks. We loved the idea, and it's certainly not a location that's comm...

In January we kicked off the six level mega-dungeon 'The Fallen Stronghold' with the entrance level. Smashed doors and overgrown hallways, with large stairs leading deeper.
In February you'll be receiving Sub-level 1 - the level that contains offices and guardrooms for those that once lived in the stronghold. Something large has smashed it...

Hey,
We've been very busy working on a new set of maps for Drivethru. This one has been on the planning book for a while, and we decided to tackle it as a big post-Christmas project.
The Moonshine Tavern is a multi-level map (five 30x30 levels), going from a set of sea caves, up through the cellar to the tavern, with an attic and a r...

The winner of the Alt-version poll we had a little while back was to turn the Castle in the Swamp into a Lighthouse. We loved this idea - the idea of a windswept wave-battered island, with a lighthouse braving the hazards! So, here it is. It's a set of 30x30 maps. We've decided to give day and night versions, and ...

Time for February's preview of the Sci-Fi map.
We decided to go for something that would be equally at home in a sci-fi game as a modern mystery/pulp game this month, and have made the Desert Star Gate. This is a 20x30 map, and you'll be getting it in two versions - an inactive version and an active version.
Hopefully it should...

Despite owning the Starfinder rule book since it's release we haven't yet got round to starting a campaign with it. Part of that is finding time to plan the world etc for the campaign. So, we thought that instead of trying to overcome that barrier we would just pick up an Adventure Path from Paizo, and then we can start playing sooner. We're als...

Thanks for your ideas for the alt-version of The Castle in the Swamp (February's Map of the Month). As usual there was a great range of suggestions, with really imaginative ideas. Some of your ideas that weren't quite right for an alt-version have given us some plans for maps that can be designed from scratch.

This will be your Map of the Month for February - a 30x30 map showing an inhabited castle in the middle of a marshy swamp, with some ruins suggesting it was once a much grander castle. The castle has a hall and rooms for the owner (and their family), and some limited living areas for the few ser...
