Hey everyone! We've animated our Beach Town Battlemap this month! This originally was inspired by several real world locations, one of those being Cze's home town! The music in the video above is 'Gold Is Meant to Be Spent' by the amazingly talented Will Savino. Please check out the link for more gr

Hey everyone! This month we've animated our Abyssal Fall battlemap! Now with the volcano vents, floating motes and pulsating creatures of the deep.

Hey everyone! We hope you're having a great September and enjoying the coming autumn/spring weather. :) An archaeological dig in some form or another has been suggested a lot over the years (people just love bones and ruins I guess!) so here's our attempt on the theme. The long buried ruins of a fig

Hey everyone! This is the first of a new 2 part series (maybe longer if you want more for this theme)! So what do you do with all those dragons and mandrakes and krakens once you've slain them? Well, sell them to fancy people to eat at ridiculously lavish dinner parties! or... Put an end to this mad

Hey everyone! We figured it's been a long time since we made a map that really focused on nature, so we wanted to make this ode to the beach. Hopefully this is a fun map to explore for your party, maybe ship wrecked on an island or about to set sail in the tropic seas. It's a good place to find buri

Hey everyone! A stepwell has been requested for years now and we wanted to do one to the full scale we think they should be. So... this map is massive! One of our largest ever maps, so we hope you like it. The perspective was tricky to get right, I think we've managed a good mix of realistic and pla

Hey everyone! This is the next map in our City Centre series. We made Elven and Dwarven recently and Warforged was requested a lot. We pictured this being in the ruins of an old Creation Forge after it was destroyed. The Warforged returned to this spot and began to live in the ruins. We particularly

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Rebel Camp. We thought of this like the last stand of a people trying to defend their territory. They've been hiding out in the caves but have now set up pallisades and other defences for an incoming attack. If all goes badly they can escape into the mountain pass, but i

Hey everyone! Welcome to the grand cathedral. Perfect for seeking sanctuary, fighting bellringers and tragic cleric backstories. Or just feeding the swans. :3 Making a massive gothic cathedral like this has been on our to-make list for a long long time, so we're happy to finally release this! Let us

Hey everyone! This is the final, final part of the Yggdrasil series. We hadn't initially planned this section but as it was requested a lot we thought we'd give a go! We wanted to show the Nidhogg chewing on the roots of Yggdrasil, we imagined it was so big and powerful it was almost like a root in

Hey everyone! This month we've animated our Tomb of Sand battlemap! Now with cascading sandfalls, flowing sandrivers and glittering golden domes. The video above contains the track "You'll Never Leave Al Ibra" off of Music d20: Vol. 2 Please check out the link for more great tracks! Oh and a reminde

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Quaint Village School. The layout is based on the Victorian era school that Cze attended as a child. We tried to convey a sense of safety with the wall and trees encircling the school grounds. And then undermine that in some of the variations, like Dark Presence, which i

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Fortified Dam. This is a massive map and we tried to make a ton of variations for it. We think there's a lot of cool scenarios you could run here, getting your players to battle up and down the n-shaped area, or leaping across the rapids of water whilst vying for control

Hey everyone! This idea of an angel crashed into a coral reef was one that Peku had about 18 months ago and we finall thought this month was the right time to make it! We thought it would make for an interesting biome and an exciting moment for your party to stumble upon. What happened here? Why has

Hey everyone! This is the lastest battlemap in our cosy starter village series. If you want to find all of the maps in this series we've added a section in the Ancient Map Room which lists them all. As usual the idea is to create buildings and areas that would be useful for a party of level 0 or 1 c

Hey everyone! This month we've animated our Mushroom Infested Mines battlemap! Now with coursing subtarranean rivers, flickering lanterns and of course lots of spore filled fungi living their best lives. The video above contains the track "Dreams of Cinnamon" off of Music d20: Multidimensional. Plea

Hey everyone! This is the next in our City Centre series. In case you missed it, we already covered the Elven City Centre and Goblin City Centre. We imagined this like a little forge and farm town somewhere up in the mountains for hill dwarves to live. Their homes are dug into the hillsides and thei

Hey everyone this map was inspired by photos of the Corrimony Chambered Cairn (thank you Essay for identifying the exact location). We wanted to make a map that covered several different time periods, the Neolithic cairn, the sheep rearing meadowlands and a modern bridge cutting through, a bit like

Hey everyone! Someone on the discord suggested Arctic Expedition as a theme with this old painting of the HMS Erebus and we were so taken by it that we decided to make it into a battlemap! We decided the Erebus was too large to fit in the map so we instead decided to depict something more akin to th

Hey everyone! This is the second part of our Wizard Bank series, following from the Wizard Vault map pack. That map was the main foyer and contained the main vault. In this pack we're showing some of the surrounds of the bank as well as the lower administrative levels and the lowest level containing

Hey everyone! This month we've animated our Forbidden Gates battlemap! Now with creaking trees, cheeky chickens, swaying chains, flickering torches, giant prayer wheels and more! The video above contains the track "A Moment of Focus (Atmosphere)" from Music d20: Atmospheres. Please check out the lin

Hey everyone! This is a special map for us! Our 200th! A big thank you to everyone who has supported us and got us to this point. We couldn't have done it without you. :') And a special big thank you to the 5 patrons who have supported us continously from our first week, waaaay back in January 2019.

Hey everyone! This is the 4th and final (maybe we could do the roots?) part of our Yggdrasil series. Get the rest here: The Village The Trunk The Branch This is where we image the top path in The Trunk map eventually leading to. The path winds up around the interior of the trunk, out through a split

Hey everyone! This is a classic theme and something we should probably have drawn much much earlier! Especially as this can pair so well with the various entrances we've drawn to dragon lairs. I'll add some links to those below: Nighmare Dragon Lair Dracolich Lair Blue Dragon Lair White Dragon Green

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Secret Sailor Lair! We envisioned this as a secret base for pirates, sailors, fisherfolk and various ne'er'do'wells of the high seas. You can take it over and run it yourself, store your treasure and repair your ship (or airship in some of the variations) and use it to e

Hey everyone! This is part 3 of our Yggdrasil series. Part 1 was the Village. Part 2 was the Trunk. This branch leads from the south path in the Trunk interior. It leads out to this Branch overlooking the village below. The villagers have set up a lift to take supplies up and down from the tree but

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Elven City Centre! Waaaay back in the dark ages of the pre-Covid era we made the City Marketplace map. We think of this as our generic human-settlement city centre. But we never really explored what the city centres of other species would look like. And so that's a new s

Hey everyone! This is the next part of our Yggrasil series, continuing on from Yggdrasil Village. This is the hollow interior of Yggdrasil itself. The settlers in the village have built rickety walkways up the interior of the tree. In the next map we'll explore some branches overlooking the village

Hey everyone! This is the first part of a new series we're making. This is Yggdrasil, the world tree. Some enterprising folks have decided to build a village around its base. They do fishing here, for eels and secrets and trinkets the gods left when they departed. The villagers have built a path up

Hey everyone! This month we've animated our Annis Hag Lair battlemap! Now with creaking trees, swaying bodies, billowing sand, magical smoke and more.

Hey everyone! This is the first part of a new series: The Wizard Bank. Part 1 is the public foyer area. It is super opulent with massive glass windows, fancy emerald carpets and immense jade statues. Queue up here and sign a lot of paper work and pay your gold and maybe they'll let you store your mo

Hey everyone! A jail... as a battlemap! People said it wasn’t possible for us to do some typical dungeons, well here we go. :3 Hopefully like with the Dark Woods Edge this satisfies some more common areas your party might find themselves in (because let’s face it, they probably should be sent to jai

Hey everyone! We’re happy to finally return to making some East Asian inspired maps. It’s been a while! This map is inspired by Buddhist rock hewn cave temples, as well as mandalas and holy mountains. The character depicted in the statue is left ambiguous so that its easier for you to fit into whate

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

Hey everyone! This month we've animated our Wonderful Wizard Waterfall battlemap! Now with flying birds, gushing waterfall, swaying trees, wind passing through the meadows, and more! The video above contains the track "Ark Seeker" from Music d20: Vol. 5. Please check out the link for more great trac

Hey everyone! This is the final part (probably) of our Royal Palace series. Kind of hard to believe we made the first part in December 2019, which now feels like the distant past! Here are the other parts: Royal Throne Room Outer Court Inner Court You can see below how the various sections go togeth

Hey everyone! This week we designed a nice serene green ruin for your players to explore. Something peaceful to go with the wonderful spring weather we're having. :) Explore strange statues, flooded walkways, mysterious trees and more. Aaaand try not to get dragged into the depths by nefarious spiri

Hey everyone! This theme was a winner on a recent poll, so if you voted for 'Slum District' hopefully this is the sort of thing you were looking for. This is definitely a big contrast from all the idyllic pastoral village scenes we've been making recently! Lots of room in this map for running along

Hey everyone! We designed this map to accompany our newest Borough Bound city, Ithivellia! In Ithivellia there's a fungal portal connecting the fae world and the material plane. So we wanted to design a colour, coloruful passage between them. Full of fungi fruit and air dense with spores. There's lo

Hey everyone! This is the follow up to our recent War Room Interior map! This is designed as if you follow the stone steps leading from the top corners of that map. We're going to let you interpret this map as you like, either as an outcropping on a clifftop or perhaps the helm of a giant organic ai

Hey everyone! 'Dark Woods Edge' did well in the last poll we ran and we thought it was a fun concept. We've tried to recreate the feeling of something like Merry and Pippin arriving at Fangorn Forest, with a stark difference between the safe meadowlands and the dangerous, gnarled and tangled forest.

Hey everyone! This month we've animated our Elven Magitech Portal battlemap! Now with glowy crystals, glowing runes, moving Elven machines and most importantly a beautiful warping portal! We hope you use this map to send your players to some very beautiful fey world! Speaking of which... -- The musi

Hey everyone! This is the next part in our Palace series. We started with the Royal Throne Room and decided to build out the rest of the palace around it. The next part was the Palace Outer Court which covered the moat, the stables, the gatehouse and the areas for the retainers and riffraff to go. T

Hey everyone! This is the next map in our series of starter village buildings, for those of you building new campaigns or maybe just want to take your players somewhere a little less grim for some downtime! Come to the tranquil apiary to get some delicious honey or try the crisp apples and breathe i

Hey everyone! Welcome to the War Room! A place for generals to plan their battles and strategies. Or... a place for meddling adventurers to disturb the planning sessions and change the course of history! We've made a bunch of versions for different purposes. If you have a specific idea for the look

Hey everyone! We've named this map 'Jungle Temple Entrance' to keep it generic and findable in future, we imagine it'll be useful in a lot of jungle and meso-american inspired camapaigns. Buuuut it was actually designed as the entrance to Axziga’s Lair, a dragon in the awesome new Borough Bound sett

Hey everyone, This month we've animated our Dwarven Throne Hall battlemap! The gears spin and buckle, the lava flows and crackles, the beautiful crystal thrones shine with resplendent light. We're really happy with how this turned out, we think it really captures the magic and awe-inspiring grandeur

Hey everyone! Another steampunk-ish map for you all. And some ships in there for those of you in seafaring campaigns in need of a new harbour to check out. We imagined this as some general purpose goods harbour inspired by some northern European cities. Lots of bridges and roofs and pipes to jump ar

Hey everyone! The architecture in this map was designed to match our Drow Manor battlemaps. It's been a few years since we released that pack and we wanted to revisit it but create a more epic play space for a final encounter. So here is the Spider Queen Throne! For fighting Drow, Driders and Giant

Hey everyone! People ask us all the time to make modular maps and it's not really our thing, we generally like making grand set pieces... but we thought we'd at least try it as so many of you asked! So here's our attempt at some modular caves. There's basic caves, spider nests, monster lairs, forges
