Gentle Village Greengrocer

Hey everyone!

This is the latest in our starter Peaceful Village series. This time we’ve made a local greengrocer with all sorts of local fruit and veg but also eggs and fish. And anything else you might need for making a local pie or summer scone. 

Of course all this food attracts unwanted pests so the store has a little retinue of mouser cats to keep a look out. ;) We’ve also made some surrounding homes, a village pump well and a little community garden.

We're picturing this gentle old couple doddering around, stroking the cats, often nodding off behind the counter. Outside you hear the sound of a cuckoo off in the distance and the rumble of a merchant's cart going by.

Anyway, let us know if you’d like us to continue this series! Here's how it's looking so far:


Alchemy Kickstarter!

We’d like to drop another reminder that we’re building Alchemy RPG, a beautifully designed, easy-to-use, immersive VTT which is coming to Kickstarter on the 25th! 5 days to go! 

Please go to the project page here and click to be notified on launch! 

The team we have working on Alchemy is just amazing and after a few years of work we’re happy to finally be presenting V1!

Is it possible to find a higher resolution version of the image that shows the layout of the town? It would make a wonderful handout in my game to explain the relation of these locations to each other to my players.

Is it possible to get links to all the maps in this series?

I think I've used every single one of these maps so far. Speaking of which: is it possible to get that "Village of Creake" pamphlet?

I LOVE this series! I want more. An entire campaign can be built around developing this village and surrounding lands. Please keep it alive.

Howdy, was just wondering if anybody could help me find an updated version of the village map, as I cannot seem to find it anywhere

Love this series! Keep it up please. Great slice of life scale to more mundane style of D&D. Also, getting ready for campaign based on this so would [selfishly] love to see more

Are all of those 11 other village maps already in the master cartographer master post?

Yes, scroll down to "STARTER VILLAGE". Not sure if all1 2 are there but it seems most are, I'm downloading them now. If you download all 3 parts of "Ages of the Vale", you'll a half-dozen others or so that aren't in this list of 12, but you can still place on the map.

Lovely. Thank you.

Beautiful! As much as I love the crazier maps, the slice of life ones get used more often!

Love any sets where I can coherently use maps together to sorta Lego a setting together. Wish that some of the ship variations were other goods/services though.

This is a perfect series!

Truthfully, I LOVE this kind of themed series of releases. It makes it really easy to flesh out a village or town with these maps and they can be rotated, mirrored, or whatever my heart desires to recycle and save on session prep as well as world-building time!

Love this map. The colors and the feeling

I love the life you put into even such mundane locations. It's really pretty! I look forward to any other maps you put in the series :)

Not a massive fan of this series. I feel your other types of maps are much more interesting. Still impressive though!
