Notice Board | Map Resolutions and VTT Compatibility

Notice Board | Map Resolutions and VTT Compatibility

I have decided to start releasing maps in a different format from what I have been doing previously. To put it into perspective, this is what I have been thinking:

  • My current maps often have non-integer pixel counts per grid square, most are 102.4 px per in (dpi). This can become problematic when trying to align the grid with VTTs li...

Sinister House Map Pack - Free

Sinister House Map Pack - Free

Check out the free version of the Sinister House Map Pack. These maps are my interpretation of the Haunted House from Ghosts of Saltmarsh. Even though they were designed to fit within this adventure they can easily be applied to a generic haunted house or mystery themed adventure.

The pack includes the exterior of the house, two main floor...

Sinister House Map Pack - Wanderer+

Sinister House Map Pack - Wanderer+

For years, the tales of the haunted house near Saltmarsh have circulated through the region. Great treasure hidden in the walls? Powerful knowledge of a long dead alchemist waiting to be reclaimed? An unholy site in desperate need of cleansing?

Whatever the reason, your party will find adventure, mystery, and action within these walls, as ...

Sinister House Map Pack – Pathfinder & Trailblazer

Hoping to add maps from Ghosts of Saltmarsh into the rotation going forward.

In this set, something new I tried is layering of different floors into the other levels. If you look through cracks in the floorboards you can see the floor below. I think it adds some nice depth. Hoping to apply this to balconies, entranceways, and overlooks in ...

Haint’s Hovel Map Pack – Pathfinder & Trailblazer

A little more variation in these maps, tried to create some areas that were completely unique in the variants. Three completely separate types of encounters are possible. Also tried something a little different with the inset maps of the rooms above and below the main levels. Please let me know what you think!

If there are variants that yo...

Locals tell of the haint the dwells deep in the swamplands. A bent and gnarled devil that preys on those that enter its domain. It lives upon the ramshackle piers that hang over the stagnant waters of the swamp. What untold stories does its den hold? How will your players handle this reclusive hag?

For Pathfinder tier patrons and up, varia...

Hail friends! I bring you a gift that is owed, a map created using Dungeondraft. It was the 3-patron goal reward, and I am now presenting it to you as we hit 15… But in all sincerity, you all are awesome, and I am glad to get to make this stuff for you. I wanted to take the map and spice it up, so I decided to create a little one-pager with it...

As our adventurers round the bend, wooden parapets and a barricade rise over the road. Have they reached the boarder already? Is this an elaborate highwayman setup? Are they blocking something dangerous ahead? Well, there is no turning around now. Let’s see what lies ahead. A checkpoint, clear glade, forest pond, and burial mound. A map packed...

A lot of variants for this one, trying to give you the chance to mix and match the surrounding area.

Seems like there is a fair interest in “dungeon” type maps, so the question becomes, what kind of dungeon should lie under our burial mound here? Would love to hear your thoughts before creating a poll for everyone. Give me suggestions ...

Hey everyone,

I have been slowly working on getting a discord server set up for the group. It will be for TTRPG discussions on playing, GMing, and mapmaking. This would come with the added benefit of additional communications with me and the ability to give added feedback into my design process.

AND.... in all honestly I was setting ...

Deep in the woods, where the cliffs and crags begin to rise into the mountains, a lonely river descends back into the forest below. Breaking and crashing over rock and earth, before plunging into a deep woodland pool. Adventures have a few options for campsites and access to spots perfect for some rest and relaxation. But beneath the overgrown s...

I wanted to do something a little ambitious with this one. First, this is the largest map I have ever made at 50x50. Initially I thought what’s an extra 20x10 over the typical 30x40?!? Well, I didn’t consider that the difference is not linear, its actually more ...
