Czepeku Scenes

Hi everyone :) Perhaps you took a wrong turn? Perhaps there's just treasure rumoured to be buried here. However you ended up here. Good luck finding your way out of the Depths of the Festerwood! Hopefully this is a suitably fitting spooky forest for your games. It would probably pair nicely with our

Hey everyone! This map was originally created in 2022. The prompt had reminded Cze of a place he'd visited called St Benet's Abbey. We used that as an inspiration for our map. The idea was that ships would arrive on the southern shore and barrels/goods would be unloaded into the remains of this aban

Hi everyone :) For this release we're returning to the classic action scenario with our heroes rushing their way towards the edge of this waterfall at high speed. Could they reach out and grab a branch? Perhaps slingshot a rope around a rock? If only the boat wasn't being tossed around so roughly! W

Hi everyone! We're revisiting a campaign classic this week. The Roadside Ambush is a classic story hook used in many roleplaying games so we thought it would be useful for you all to have an ambush point to surprise your players with. We included versions with and without the rocks for all supporter

Hi everyone! This scene has been fun to put together! We've made several train focused battlemaps like Train Station Concourse and Train Station Platforms but we thought it would be great if we could create a scene to introduce people to the hustle and bustle of the train station from the outside! W

Hey everyone! This is a scene of one of our very earliest maps. I think the 5th we made? It's the Mountaintop Altar! What will your party find here? A small mountain village? Or a very steep drop through the sky door? Whichever you choose, we wish you all luck on your adventures here. Remember to no

Hi everyone :) This scene has been highly requested since we first started Czepeku Scenes! Finally we think we've done it justice. This is the Riverwood Toll Castle! We like to think this would make a nice location for a one-shot. Certainly a nice stop off point to pick up some new bounties for your

Hi everyone! We hope you've all managed to slow down a bit over the festive period. We've certainly tried to do the same! For this scene we revisited the idea for this map slightly to give it a much more ominous feeling. A lonely mansion perched atop a cliff. It could just have been a normal mansion

Hi everyone! What could await you at the top of this magical, colossal tree stump? This is an approach scene to our Fey Village battlemap, with the ancient fey forums held at the summit! We think this would fit nicely with our Overgrown Magic Forest scene too if you're planning to run a fey-focused

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Mountain Logging Camp! We think that this would be a nice introduction to the battlemap as you struggle your way to the top of the mountain after a long, arduous ascent. You've come all this way. What could await you at the peak? -- Get this week's scenes using the links

Here's a dual release for you all! This is our Mangrove Forest. Several years back me and Peku were living in Malaysia and visited a bunch of mangroves and were inspired by a trek we went on through a very similar forest to this one! For the map we used a lot of references from the Sundarbans but wh

A rite of passage for any fantasy cartographer, but also now for scene illustrators! The Crossroads is a nice simple scene but we wanted to try and add some flair to our variations for both the battlemap, and now this scene too. :) The Sleeping Hill Giant is one of our favourites for sure! Please fu

Hi everyone! Here's our first scene release for October! We're hoping that you can all add some rickety rope bridge variations into your campaigns, perhaps some fun mini games with your players to see who makes the bridge collapse?! We've tried to create as many simple variations as we can for this

Hi everyone! Another nice travel scene to set the foreboding mood before you get to the top of this winding, mysterious mountaintop. We added a camp version too for those of you needing to take a rest part way along your journey. There might even be a hint in one of the variations to one of our upco

Hey everyone! Here's a classic travel scene for you. What adventure doesn't eventually end up in a spooky forest? And what's more ominous than seeing the darkness looming ahead of you in the tangled, thick undergrowth? We also made some more pleasant themed variations and a camp too for those of you

Hey everyone! We have a whopping 5 releases incoming for you this month! Covering a lot of the scenes that were voted highest in our last scene poll! This week we painted Medusa's Wake (based on this map). Are your players finally getting close to finding the Temple of Medusa? This scene is set a li

Hi everyone! Here's a FREE release for all of our patrons! After a discussion in the Czepeku Discord, we decided to revisit the Ages of the Vale scene to create some more generic travel scenes for you. We've painted out the barn so that now you can use it for more natural meadows. We've got Day, Nig

Hey everyone! We hope you enjoyed the Pirate Port Tavern scene! Now we're going somewhere deep, deep into the Overgrown Magic Forest where ancient magic waits to be awoken from its slumber. We really love how this scene turned out, we feel like it captures the sense of scale of those old growth fore
