May Recap - Wait... It's Already June?
Hi everybody!
Honestly, I have no idea when May happened.
One moment I was planning things, the next one we're already in June and somehow a bunch of cool stuff made its way onto Patreon and the website.
First of all, I'm really happy with Razor's Edge Arena.
Arena battles are one of those things that keep showing up in my own campaigns, so this is definitely a map I'm going to use myself. Rotating blades, spike pits, dangerous terrain, tactical positioning... all the good stuff. I think it turned out great and, more importantly, it looks absolutely deadly.
You can find it here:
Another map that is definitely worth having in your arsenal is Mountain Trail.
It's a tiny little pack with just two simple maps, but those are often the maps we end up using the most. Perfect for random encounters, bandit ambushes, traveling merchants, wandering monsters, suspicious goblins... or whatever your players accidentally provoke this week.
This poor little pack is so small that it doesn't even have its own proper promo clip.
I should probably give it some more love one day. Maybe it will eventually grow into a larger wilderness encounter bundle.
May was also a month of surprises.
One of them happened when I was digging through old project folders and discovered something I had almost completely forgotten about: a POV Forest Camp Scene.
Not exactly a battlemap, but one of those immersive screens you can throw onto a TV, projector, or VTT during a long rest to make the world feel a little more alive.
The only things missing are owl hoots in the distance and mosquitoes trying to ruin everyone's evening.
As tradition demands, The Enduring Cycle has also been updated:

This page celebrates those amazing people who have been supporting my work for six months, one year, three years, and even longer.
This part of the post is entirely for you:
Thank you.
Seriously.
Seeing familiar names stay around month after month means more than I can properly express. Your support allows me to keep creating, experimenting, and spending way too much time making animated rivers, glowing crystals, and suspiciously dangerous arenas.
And of course, at the very top of that page you'll find the elite group of Champions who supported me throughout May.
Thank you all. You're awesome.
Finally, thank you to every single Patron and every follower who checks out my work, leaves comments, shares maps, runs adventures on them, or simply hangs around this little corner of the internet.
Whether you've been here for years or just arrived recently, you're helping make this project possible. That's still pretty amazing to me.
Thank you all, and let's see what surprises June brings.
Cheers!
