Ravenloft--Court of the Count

Hello all!

Here is the next (I believe I see some light at the end of the tunnel!) set of battle map scale rooms from Castle Ravenloft from the Curse of Strahd module.

As with its many predecessors, I have saved each of the rooms as individual PNG files for easier manipulating. For anyone keeping track ...

Urban Assets

Hello all! Here is what I'm planning on so far for the Urban Assets Pack I'm going to be working on. In summary:

- Several rooftops of various sizes and multiple colors

- Window outlets & balconies

- Chimneys (with and without smoke)

- Flags of various styles

- Landscape indicative of an urban area<...

Maphammer's Modular Crypt

Hello all!

As a part of my ongoing friendship with Maphammer (and in the interest of cool, free assests!) I wanted to make sure you were aware of their recently released Modular Crypt tiles. As you can see in the image, these are separate tiles/hallways that can be built together for easy, quick crypts. 

Yo...

Asset Pack Theme

Hello all!

Now that the River pack has been released, it's time to vote on the theme for our next public pack! Hopefully all of the themes are fairly self-explanatory, but please feel free to make suggestions if you have something else in mind!

River Assets Pack

Hello all!

Here is my River Assets Pack--the 4th public release of assets so far. Make sure to check out the Forest Assets, Taver...

Ravenloft -- Misc Rooms pt.1

Hello all!

Here is our monthly installment of battle map scale rooms from Castle Ravenloft from the 5E adventure Curse of Strahd. As always, I've divided each room into separate .png files for your convenience.

In other news, my players are about to enter Ravenloft near the end of the campaign, so I'll ...

Everska Photoshop File

Evereska

Hello all!

For the last map of March I've created a revision of a previously existing map of a location in the greater D&D universe: Evereska. 

One of the last elvish strongholds to the north in the setting of Faerun, Evereska was used primarily in the 3.5 edition (correct me if I'm wrong, being ...

River Assets Preview

Hello all!

I'm still working on the total River Assets pack, but am realizing there are some areas where I want to expand it so that it feels more usable before I share it with the public. However, since some of it is finished (the pieces featured above) and you all have been waiting for some time now, I wanted to share what <...

Main Floor (1) Photoshop File

Ravenloft -- Main Floor pt.1

Hello all! 

Here is the next set of rooms from the main floor of Castle Ravenloft from the Curse of Strahd 5e module.

Five separate rooms (separated into individual .pngs per usual) containing more statues, suits of armor, mirrors, debris, and a great dining table + spooky organ combo.

New Owl Well Photoshop File

'New' Owl Well

Update July 2021: Based on requests I've made a nighttime version of the 'New' Owl Well map. Map files of the new variant included in the ZIP file below. 

Hello people! 

This month marks One Year since I started this Patreon and I thought a fun way to look back at that milestone...

Dungeon Assets -- Part 1

Hello all!

Due to some scheduling conflicts with the release of a different commissioned city map (now coming out in March) I went ahead and bumped up the release of a first round of dungeon assets!

$5 Patron Halosos had requested that for their commissioned reward at that tier that I make a mini asset pack of various du...

Waterfall Photoshop File

Waterfall Campsite

Hello all!

Little oopsie with this battle map--I accidentally used the same settings from the Ravenloft Catacombs map and did not realize it until I was basically finished. SO what that means is that this battle map is actually 19x15 inches as opposed to the standard 8.5x11! 

However, the grid is al...

Catacombs Photoshop File

Castle Ravenloft Catacombs

Hello all!

Here is the next installment in the Castle Ravenloft series. And boy was it a doozy--that's a lot of cobblestone in there. Like, hours and hours of cobblestone. And that's after I used all of my digital tricks to try and shorten my time commitment. The whole thing measures roughly 15x19 inches digi...

River Assets Preview

Hey all!

Though these River assets likely won't come out till March, I wanted to give you a view of what I was thinking so far. Unlike previous asset packs, most of the assets here will end up being too large to easily display in one image, so this is just an overview.

What I'm planning on including:

- Water textur...

Castle Ravenloft - Great Entryway

Here is the Great Entryway to Castle Ravenloft from the Curse of Strahd 5E module. The 6th in the series so far, these maps mark my progress in mapping out the infamous castle at battle map scale.

I had originally planned on doing the catacombs next to finish out the bottom floor of the castle, but ran into some layou...

More Assets?

Hello all!

In light of the recent release of the snowy assets pack (sketches are already underway for the Rivers Assets pack), I had been considering the possibility of integrating more frequent assets releases into the paid content stream and was hoping for feedback on that. 

I will continue to release the larger p...

Snowy Assets Pack

Here it finally is!

The complete Snowy Assets Pack. Containing everything from a windswept snowy field, a cozy cottage, several snow-lined trees, and even a 5ft block of ice cause why not.

As usual, this assets pack is compatible with the previous forest and tavern battle map packs, making for even more mapmaking possibi...

Snow Assets Preview

Hey all!

I've been working hard to get the snow assets pack finished and it's nearly there! The final, complete version will be going up this weekend, but I wanted you to have a sneak peek first!

This version contains a good amount of the assets that will be in the final version, but is still missing a few parts that are...

2018 Resolution: More Teaching!

Happy New Year! 

Of many things I am thankful for in 2017, your collective support is absolutely one of them; thank you so much for choosing to help financially support this map-making venture and know that I am truly grateful.

Looking forward towards 2018 however, one of the areas where I'd like to shore up my effo...
