Are they genuinely part of the crew helping with repairs and upkeep? Or will they be looking to sabotage the ship before it

Hi everyone :) Welcome back to our Gothic City series. Wide stairways climb between high stone walls and iron gates, leading through a layered complex of walkways and courtyards toward the grand castle beyond.

Hi everyone :) We're returning to our Gothic City today, specifically to the Calefactory! This warm, welcoming area for the folks here to socialise and relax.

Hey everyone! This is Cze. I want to explain a situation going on at Patreon. If you subscribe to other Patreon creators, you might have heard about this already, but basically due to a change in how the Apple store deals with in-app purchases Patreon was forced to change their business model. As pa

Hi everyone :) We have obviously created tavern maps in various different themes over the years, but we've never really created one with an outdoor entertainment space. What this tiny tavern may give up in square footage due to it's prime town centre location, is definitely propped up by the beautif

Hi everyone :) Welcome to our next map, part of our Vibrant City! Outside the main town walls, you can find the Verem Cellars. These storage cellars are built directly into the hillside. Each one owned by a nobleperson to store their expensive bottles of wine or potions. Inside, we imagine that the

Hi everyone :) We're returning again to our Vibrant City! Who might have originally built this ancient Nymphaeum? Those who know the city well might let you know that the magical springs also feed the Duck Pond down near the Mossy Steps. What might the original purpose of these beautiful ruins be? D

Hi everyone :) This area located to the rear of the Calefactory is seldom-used by most people. The winch here was actually originally built with the purpose of transporting a wyrm right to the top of these cliffs after its capture. Will your party find a way to make use of this cliffside crane? Coul

Hi everyone :) We're returning again to our Gothic City! For this release, we've created something slightly different.

Hi everyone :) Welcome to a new month of releases, and also our 10th Gothic City release! This ecclesiastical prison apparently once focused on reforming petty offenders. In more recent times, its cells have become crowded with rebellious, political prisoners. Masters of whispers within the city spe

Hi everyone :) Welcome to the Calefactory. This makes up another part of our Gothic City Series. If the name Calefactory is new to you, they were historically very important parts of monasteries!

Hello everyone :) We're returning today to our Gothic City! Ever wondered where all of the eels caught in the surrounding waters end up? Well now you know!

Hello everyone :) We wanted to return to our Viking Settlement Series this month! A burial like this can only mean one thing. That a person of great importance has died and will be shortly making their way to the afterlife. Historically, these ships are filled with items of great significance, belie

Hi everyone :) Today we return to our Gothic City! This is our Candle Workshop. But is it simply a candle workshop? Or could a resistance be forming in the secret basement? Perhaps the owner of this workshop has had enough of the evil powers lording over this city. Is there a secret cabal of vampire

Hello everyone :) This month we're revisiting our Battlefield Bridge Blockade! This battle was clearly hard-fought, and the brave defenders who held this bridge paid the ultimate price. It’s now up to your party to piece together what happened—was it an ambush, a betrayal, or perhaps just the work o

Hi everyone :) Welcome back to our Gothic City and to the Cathedral of the Eight. Why eight you may ask? If you look through some of the other maps we've released for this series, you might notice that eight has been a bit of a motif throughout whether it be number of statues, chairs or any other it

Hi everyone :) We thought it was time to return to our Ancient City Series. This workshop, spread throughout several buildings surrounding a central courtyard is inspired by the legend of Daedalus' Workshop. In Greek mythology, he is seen as a symbol of wisdom, knowledge and power. He is also notabl

Hi everyone :) Today we're returning to our Elven setting. We envisaged this as being a giant, ancient tree which has been revered as a sacred, spiritual location where elves might visit to pay respect to their ancestors. The stones have been here longer than any living elf remembers and only those

Hi everyone :) A year ago, our website subscriptions officially went live. We focused on replicating our top level patreon tiers that come with all the VTT and animated features, and though that's been successful we know that it's a lot of content that people might not need and at a price that's not

Hi everyone :) As you might guess, this city square is not known for being a welcoming place. The bodies of those executed by order of the High Inquisitor are strung up here for 3 months for the rest of the citizens to see as they go about their business. Nobody truly knows where the bodies end up a

Hi everyone :) Today we find ourselves in the midst of a swamp, seemingly home to an entire unhatched brood of Wyrms! The entire nesting area is surrounded by a gigantic skeleton which protrudes from random spots in the ground. Most adventurers certainly tend to avoid this entire region. Will your p

Hi everyone :) Welcome back to our Elven Series! Everybody knows that a key part of Elven life is learning how to fire their bows with absolute, artisanal accuracy. To do that, they of course need training areas like this! Let your players step up and test their abilities against stationary targets

Hi everyone :) This small inn located deep in this swampy region is a common home to many of the local eelers. Before a hard night's eeling, most of these fisher folk will join each other to tell tales, drink grog and feed themselves before heading out into the waters. There are a few small bedrooms

Hi everyone :) Welcome to our Shimmering Port! This port, situated on a beautiful coastline leads into a mystical city full of bright white stone and vibrant blue rooftops.
