SciFi Previews - Alien-Egg infested space hulk and Nekromech Cult Lab!

Hey all,

It's the end of the month, but that doesn't mean there's not time for a preview.

I realised I hadn't shared the Sci-Fi map preview with you all earlier, so I've combined it with the preview of the next Sci-Fi megamap. I've picked this one as something I've been keen to do for ages.

First up is the sci-fi map - the Wrec...

August's Alt-Version Preview - The Elven Senate

Hey all,

I got straight to work today on the Alt-version of the Gladiator school, and produced the winner of the poll - The Elven Senate.

This large map features an exterior and interior view of a forest meeting space for elves, used for generations.

August's Megadungeon Preview - The Fortress of Dhu'um Map 1

Hey everyone

Last month we finished the final level of the Cave of the SeaBeast megadungeon, and so it was time to start the next one.

Usually we've run a poll to ask you, but there was one idea that a few people had mentioned at various times throughout the year, so we thought instead we'd go with that.

You may recall several ...

August's Alt-Version Poll

Hey everyone,

We asked you for suggestions as to the alt-version of the Barbarian gladiator school we previewed at the start of the month.

We've got five alt-version ideas suggested by you guys, so pick your favourites and vote!

Orc Wind Rider Outpost - high in the mountains, a 'stables' for winged creatures ri...

Third Map Preview - The Limestone Gorge

Hey everyone,

Time for a preview.  Wanted to try a different type of landscape today, so went with a limestone gorge. There's three versions of this 50x50 map - no bridge, bridge and broken bridge.

August's MotM Preview - Vulture's Feast Barbarian Gladiator School plus Variants

Hey guys,

A little delayed with the preview, but hopefully worth it,

For August's MotM, we've gone Dark Suns/Conan/Badlands inspired and put together this 30x40 gladiator school, with exterior and interior views

Cave of the Sea Beast - How it fits together

Hey,

Just a very quick post to share a sketch I've done to explain how the 6 levels of Cave of the Sea Beast fit together

So, Level 1 is the surface, high on the cliffs

Level 2 is a cave at sea level beneath the cliffs. Stairs lead dow...

Computer troubles = Delay!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to give you an update regarding the July rewards.

My laptop has started overheating (and caused some sudden shut downs!), so it's currently at the computer repair shop.

Probably just needs the fans cleaning, but either way it means I won't be able to get the rewards to you on the usual date.

It's our 10th Birthday!!!! Massive sale at DTRPG!

Hey everyone,

We're so excited to announce that it's our 10th Birthday Sale at DTRPG (and Roll20).  That means it's been an entire decade since we uploaded our very first map to DTRPG, just hoping to sell one or two cop...

Third & Alt Previews - The Dragon's Hoard Hostelry & Illithid Lair

Hi everyone

Apologies for the lack of updates. We've been crazily busy getting things ready for July and our 10 Year Birthday sale!  Loads of new maps have just taken over all our time!    We'll post more about that when the sale starts, but 10 years - wow...

Anyway, this post has a couple of previews we meant to ...

Port Tradeswell - 50% off code

Hey everyone

For the Third Map last month we made the giant Port Tradeswell Attacked map, a huge dock under attack, with fire and no-fire versions.

We've also made an intact version (with and without ships) - perfect for 'before' scenarios, or just when you need a large harbour.

Sci-Fi Preview - Gannet-Class Cargo Hauler 9-23

Hey everyone,

Time for the Sci-Fi preview!

A rather long map this time!

The Gannet Class Cargo Hauler is a 20x60 map featuring a long container ship. Crew quarters at the front, a long spine, and engineering at the rear.  It'll have container and non-container versions, plus generic overlays for the interiors of the contai...

July's Map of the Month Preview - Cave of the Five Blind Priests

Time to see the next MotM!

There's going to be three variants of this map - overgrown ...

Alt-Version Preview - The Great Stair

Hey everyone,

It's a little late - been busy, but here's a preview of the Alt-version you'll be getting next week.

The winning idea for 'what's inside the entrance? poll was a great stair that goes up and down. We've made two versions - one intact, and one abandoned, so you can decide what's best for your game :)

Sci-Fi Preview - The Crater

Hey everyone,

Time for the Sci-Fi preview, a chance to see June's Sci-Fi map.

We thought this would be really useful - a crater! You'll be getting night and day versions of 4 different variants - green alien glows, hot rock, cooled rock, no rock.

Hey everyone,

Last week or so we asked you to suggest ideas for the next Third Map, based around a map you'll need in the future for your games.

We had to pick one though, and so we decided to go for aikar's suggestion of a harbour that'...

June's Map of the Month - The Mountain Road

Hey everyone,

Something a little different this month.

We've created this 30x90 map of a mountain road, starting in the forest and leading through a gorge, and then a mountain cliff with a dungeon entrance.  They work as three 30x30 maps, but best as 30x90 together.
