[Release] Shrine of the Bear Spirit Is Here!

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 local bear spirit. Inside, a carved bear greets visitors with one paw raised above an altar full of offerings. Friendly welcome? Warning? I’ll leave that part to your players.

It’s a place for a druidic ritual, a meeting with a forest guardian, a pilgrimage that takes an unexpected turn, or an encounter where the party has to decide whether this spirit deserves their trust.

I made several ways to use the location:

• Three map views: top-down, rotated top-down, and close-up

• Day and night, with the roof on or off

• Grid and gridless versions

• Static 8K maps and animated maps in 4K and 8K

• Four POV scenes, each in day and night versions

• UVTT files for Roll20 and a ready-to-use Foundry VTT module

• A Cinematic Intro in the Champion Pack

That comes to 24 map layouts before choosing your preferred resolution or video format. You can use the POV scenes to introduce the shrine, then switch to the battlemap when your players start exploring. I’ve also prepared the UVTT files and Foundry module to help you get the location set up in your VTT.

The release is available in three editions: Static Maps for Local Heroes, Animated Maps + Static POV for Heroes of the Realm, and the Champion Pack with animated POV scenes and the intro. You can get the edition included with your membership, or pick one up as a one-time purchase in my Shop.

I hope this little place gives your party a memorable stop in the woods. And if they decide to take the bear’s raised paw as an invitation, I’d love to hear how that goes.

Cheers,
