Dransky Battle Maps

Yes, you guessed it! This is our Halloween-themed battlemap! At its heart stands a massive, abandoned cathedral, surrounded by forgotten graves, crumbling stone walls, and overgrown paths. Autumn has taken over the entire cemetery, but beneath those golden leaves, something far less peaceful might b

Hey everyone, The next Enduring Circle reward is here, and this one is for those of you who have been supporting me continuously for a full year. Meet Ruined Farmstead. This is a proper dark fantasy location made up of several maps: the main overview of the farmstead with interiors for the Mill, Sta

Hey everyone, It feels like I only just released the reward for the first milestone of our Enduring Circle - the 3-month reward - and I’m already working on something much more substantial for the 1-year milestone. Yes, this location will be called Ruined Farmstead and it is... well, exactly what it

Hey everyone! All the maps I’ve been releasing for Chapter 6 of Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk are now together in one complete pack, with a fully built Foundry VTT module. That means you can bring the whole chapter’s maps into your game in one go, without downloading and importing each

Hey everyone, A small but pretty cool update from me today. I've been thinking for a while about making Dransky Battle Maps available on more VTT platforms, and this time Moulinette basically opened that door for me. Their new Media Search extension for Owlbear Rodeo means that maps already availabl

Oh man, September was quite a month. A lot was going on in my private life, but there was also plenty happening here, in our little corner of the internet. I’ve covered the most important thing for you below, and if you keep reading, you’ll also find out what Patreon has to do with my wife. ;) I’ll

Hi, I've been thinking a lot about what I actually want Dransky Battle Maps to be. Not just a collection of pretty maps. I'd like it to be a place you can visit before your next session, browse for a few minutes and suddenly think: “Yep. That's exactly what I need.” That's something I always wanted

Every great adventure begins with a single step into the unknown. Dungeon Entrance is the first reward in the Dransky Battle Maps Loyalty Rewards program, created for patrons who have supported my work continuously for at least three months. This ancient entrance can serve as the beginning of a spra

Some adventures are completed in a single night. Others are forged over time. The Enduring Circle is my way of thanking patrons who support Dransky Battle Maps continuously. The longer you remain part of this journey, the more exclusive rewards you can unlock. Current Loyalty Reward milestones 3 mon

Hey everyone! Remember that little bear shrine I dug out of my WIP folder? Other maps kept jumping ahead of it for months, but it finally got its turn. Shrine of the Bear Spirit is ready! Deep in the forest, among old roots and moss-covered boulders, stands a small stone sanctuary dedicated to a loc

A tavern is rarely just a tavern. It is where the party hears the rumour that sends them off the road. Where a stranger buys the next round for reasons that are probably not entirely innocent. Where a quiet evening can turn into a bar fight, a hostage situation, or a midnight escape through the kitc

Hi everyone! Now feels like the perfect time to dig up a map that has actually been in progress for a good few months. Other maps kept jumping ahead of it in the queue, and after a while I almost forgot about it entirely. Do you like pagan, druidic vibes? If so, something made for adventures deep in

tl;dr: If you've been supporting me continuously for more than 6 months you can claim an extra map pack, here Hi everyone! Yes - this time I'm talking to all of you. This is a public post, because something pretty important is happening here. I have finally finished working on The Crane and Trout In

Hey everyone, We’re halfway through the month, so it’s time for some news and updates straight from the workshop! And I’ll admit it - no map has ever dragged me through the mud quite as much as the Crane and Trout Inn. Not because the map itself is insanely complicated. Nope. It’s because I approach

A small preview from the Crane and Trout Inn. Before the map itself is ready, I thought it would be fun to start with something a little different - the inn’s menu. I’ve been working on this location as the first exclusive reward for Patrons who have supported Dransky Battle Maps continuously for 6

Tl;dr: A new Extra Map for Patrons with 6+ months of continuous support - currently in the works! Hey everyone, I've been planning to do this for quite a while, and I finally had the right opportunity to start introducing a new way of saying thank you to you - my Patrons - for the months of continuo

TL;DR: Things are going great, and we’re moving forward at full speed. The content keeps getting better, there’s more of it than ever, and none of this would be possible without you, my Patrons. :) August is over, and it was easily one of the most intense months we’ve ever had in the Dransky Battle

Hey everyone! Drow City: Webbed Heights is officially out for Patrons! This is another one of those releases that makes me stop and think about what your support allows me to create. You make projects like this possible, and I really hope you can see it in every corner of this place. I’ve spent almo

Gibbet Crossing is finally here. For some reason, this turned out to be one of the most difficult maps to make in quite a while. Building the whole thing in Unreal Engine was already a challenge, rendering it was another story entirely, and then there was the small matter of setting up the ridiculou

Gibbet Crossing is almost ready! There are only a few final touches left to make in Unreal Engine, and later today I’ll move on to setting up the cameras and starting the renders. We’re really not far from the finish line now. The next map for Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk is coming ve

Sometimes you do not need a huge dungeon, a floating fortress, or an ancient machine powered by questionable magic. Sometimes the party just needs to leave the road, push through a wall of vines, and find a half-forgotten ruin waiting in the middle of the forest. Overgrown Ruins is one of those maps

Hi all! Another Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk map is now in the works - this time it’s Gibbet Crossing. Here’s the current progress. It’s still pretty early, and the lighting is mostly placeholder for now, but yes - you guessed it: purple means Drow. There’s still a lot to add in terms

Hey everyone, I wanted to give you a heads-up about an upcoming change to the Local Heroes tier. Starting September 1, the price for new Local Heroes members will change from $2.50 to $4 per month. My Patreon uses EUR as its base currency, so the underlying price will change from €2 to €3. Patreon a

As you cross the threshold, the sound of your footsteps fades beneath the vast, vaulted ceiling. Cold violet light crawls across black stone columns, each one rising at a slightly different angle—as if the temple itself were shifting around you. At the center of the chamber stands a towering statue

Hi everyone! Over the years, you’ve asked me all kinds of questions about the maps, Patreon tiers, downloads, VTT support, licensing, and plenty of other things. I’ve now gathered the most common ones in one place and organized them by topic. Hopefully, whenever you feel a little lost or aren’t sure

Hey everyone! July turned out to be one of the biggest turning points since I started Dransky Battle Maps. The biggest news is something I already mentioned recently, but it's worth repeating because it's such an important step forward: Dransky Battle Maps is no longer a one-person project. I've inv

Hi there! We’re releasing another brand-new map for the official The Shattered Obelisk campaign. This time, we’re heading into the Crypt of the Talhund. The map follows the original campaign layout as closely as possible, bringing the entire level to life while keeping every room, corridor, and impo

Before we move on to the next release, I wanted to give one of the biggest dungeon packs in the library another moment in the spotlight. Halls of Tides is not just one battlemap. It is a full flooded dungeon that can carry an entire session, a one-shot, or even a longer adventure arc beneath the wav

The sound of rushing water grows louder as the tunnel opens into a vast, broken cavern. An underground river cuts through the ruins of ancient stone fortifications, its cold mist clinging to the walls and scattered bones beneath your feet. Beyond the crumbling arches, the remains of a small camp sit

If you’ve ever sat down to prep a session and thought, “Great… now I need a tavern, some travel maps, ruins, a dungeon, and something big for the finale,” this pack is basically made for that moment. Fantasy Adventure Essentials is a curated collection of 8 animated battlemaps for GMs who want a str

Hi everyone! I may be living under the stone - I only noticed this recently, but Patreon lets you buy gift memberships for other people. You choose the tier and how long the membership lasts, so it could be a fun gift for your DM, a fellow GM, or anyone who would enjoy having more animated and stati
