Dwarven Throne Hall [29x58]

Hey everyone!

It's about time we made a map dedicated to Dwarves! Deep down in the underground halls, beyond the mines and the forges and the armouries is the Throne Hall.

The Throne Hall is protected by the heat of flowing lava that leads on into other chambers for use in smelting. The Dwarves enjoy the intense h...

How would you describe your campaign setting?

We're trying to gather some ideas on what people are playing right now and what maps people would want. :) We've been blown away by the huge support for Hyperdrive Fleet and its made us appreciate the different directions we can explore.

Please pick multiple options if you're running multiple campaigns! Or if you campai...

Spelljammer Ships!

So we've been pretty inundated with requests for Spelljammer ships now that the new book is being released next month. So it was time for a poll!

As far as we're aware the ships for the new book haven't been released yet, but here's a selection of interesting ones from the old 2e Spelljammer.

Of course these are W...

Riverwood Toll Castle [30x44]

Hey everyone!

It was about time that we tackled another castle. This one is meant to be a toll castle, protecting the road up to the hill and granting access to the bridges above the riverlands beyond.

We imagined this as a nice hill...

Eldritch Church - Animated Battlemap (with a new twist!)

Hey everyone!

This month we decided to animate our Eldritch Church battlemap! Lots of ghostly lights and strange dust swirling before the pulsing eldritch vortex! I think we've really captured the eerie atmosphere of this dark place.

Tutelary Turtle Island [29x46]

Hey everyone!

Another long awaited suggestion: a floating turtle island!

We imagined this location like a secretive fey-imbued floating chapel that star crossed lovers would seek out to have clandestine meetings and moonlit weddings. Turtle-friend slowly travels the waterways of the world, guided by its sense of w...

Introducing Hyperdrive Fleet

Hey everyone! It has long long been requested that we start making sci-fi maps.

Court of Justice [29x59]

Hey everyone!

Civic buildings have been requested a lot recently so we decided to make a Court of Justice! Bring your players here so they can atone for their crimes. Or assault the room and take down the corrupt judges of the land. If you want to cut straight to a punishment, there's a variation where the stand is a tr...

Forgotten Chapel - Graveyard [30x44] & Crypt [26x34]

Hey everyone!

A spooky graveyard has been a constant suggestion for years, so we thought it was finally time to make one. Hopefully this is what you all had in mind. :)

We decided we wanted the church to be collapsing from years of damp and neglect, after the parish was pushed out by vampires, ghouls or witches wh...

Chthonic Lighthouse - Animated Battlemap

Hey everyone!

This month we decided to animated our Chthonic Lighthouse battlemap! The dark waters swell and beat against the rocks, the lonely boats bob in the water, the occassional will'o'wisp darts across the channel and hi...

Beachside Bazaar [30x44]

Hey everyone, welcome to the Beachside Bazaar! 

Peku's original idea for this map was that the Kuo-Toa lived here a long long while back and built giant fish statues here to their deities. Some unknown event forced them out of the region and soon traders came to settle in this peaceful beachside valley. The Kuo-Toa...

Gryphon Roost Inn [various]

Hey everyone!

So many people had told us that they appreciate the floating sky island stuff we've been releasing that we thought we'd dedicate a map to it!

So here is our cute Gryphon Roost Inn, floating high amongst the clouds and offering a warm bed and a pint of ale (or cup of tea if you prefer) to any passing ...

Wonderful Wizard Waterfall [various]

Hey everyone! Lots of maps today as we finally found time to post. :)

Welcome to the Wonderful Wizard Waterfall. This is a crafty wizard's house perched on a ledge beside a waterfall. We liked the thought that the wizard was harnessing the raw power of the waterfall in his studies... or maybe they just liked the view. T...

Caravan Roadblock [18x55]

Hey everyone!

This map is a simple concept but hopefully has a lot of uses for your campaign.

Windmill Farm - Animated Battlemap

Hey everyone!

This month we decided to animated our Windmill Farm battlemap! We've wanted to see this map animated since we first created it. It's so awesome to see those windmill blades finally turning! Other than the windmill ...

Bone Mill Exterior[28x39]

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the Bone Mill! It occured to me as we were working on this map that maybe not everyone knows what a bone mill is. Basically it's a place where they used to dry bones and crush them to use as fertilizer. Here's a website that talks about a 2022-03-27 22:11:48 +0000 UTC View Post

The Forbidden Gates [28x60]

Hey everyone!

Welcome to The Forbidden Gates. This map was originally designed to accompany the Mountaintop Observatory, we thought this could be at the foot of those mountains, warding people off from the holy mountains above. Ha...

Solar Cathedral [37x48]

Welcome to the Solar Cathedral! We've been meaning to make a cathedral for so long.

This map is a sequel to our Beach Town map. This Solar Cathedral is designed to depict the interior of the building in th...

Clifftop Warcamp [31x46]

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the Clifftop Warcamp where generals and officers plan their assaults on the lands below. Individuals can be lowered by the rickety wood and rope lift to the battlefield and the giant warhorn can call out orders.

This map was made to accompany a new Borough Bound city, Crabwell, which we ju...

Ruined Courtyard [28x48]

Hey everyone!

Back again for another map, two days in a row. :) As we've made quite a few dungeon-y maps recently we thought we'd make something a bit more suiting of a boss fight! Hope you like it.

The original concept was a lush courtyard garden that befell a terrible cataclysm and has now gone to ruin, the plan...
