Trappers' Camp [30 x 50]

Ame Kuma post Trappers' Camp [30 x 50] from patreon

The fur robes of the Imperial Court originate not from a loom in the Weaver’s District but in a clearing hewn from the Ancients’ Wilderness, far from ‘Civilisation’ and its protections.

A hive of activity by day with hunters skinning carcasses and tanning hides. Others are off setting and checking t...

Fey Forest Fork [30 x 50]

Ame Kuma post Fey Forest Fork [30 x 50]  from patreon

Two roads diverged in a feywood, and I—

I took the one with the sound of singing, music and revelry,

And that has made all the difference (and is why I shall never see my home plane again).**

Hi

Here is our forest fork collection, 15 maps giving ch...

Rice Farm [50 x 50]

Ame Kuma post Rice Farm [50 x 50] from patreon

Toil is the certainty which defines the life of a peasant. Long days in the field, planting, tending and harvesting. Wet, muddy work under an uncaring sky. Harvest celebrations provide a momentary reprieve from the daily grind. After harvest comes the fear. Will the Daimyo tax more this year for the war? In a lean year ba...

Fight Market [52 x 52]

Ame Kuma post Fight Market [52 x 52] from patreon

The sound of iron clashing into iron rings louder than the cacophony of traders extolling the virtues of their wares.  The shoppers leave the merchants and race to the Death Pit for a drink, a stool and view of the carnage. Wagers are swiftly negotiated between the touts and their marks, er customers.

Ame Kuma post Constellation Tower and Fey Landscapes [30 x 50] from patreon

Ignoring the melee below,  High Seer Lannko needlessly scanned the night sky again confirming the details she already knew by heart. The Ox was high, the Shepherd Moon Full in the House of Falcon, and the Ice Bear rising. It was time to begin. She initiated the chant, every syllable timed to perfection. The stars don...

Welcome travelers to the the First and Last Hotel. Reggie will take your bags. Visitors from Worldside, to be sure. Ale, mead or wine? You here for the view, some research or planing? Judging by the aromas of your chests, you are hoping to go Astral. Good luck with that, but I'll let you know, rules of the Hous...

Menhir Spring [50 x 50]

Ame Kuma post Menhir Spring [50 x 50] from patreon

There are worse ways to make a living. It’s relaxing sitting back, pipe in mouth and watching them rocks. Big stone slabs, covered in runes, floating in the air, did I mention above a mystic pond? Got to hand it to those Ancients, they built big and built to last. No idea why they did it though. Why they made them in su...

Forest Shrine [30 x 50]

Ame Kuma post Forest Shrine [30 x 50]  from patreon

Deep in the woods, as the pilgrims soon learn, silence and serenity are rare. Birds and wolves, add the odd bandits and ogres weed out those of weaker faith and arms (armour helps too).

Arriving at the shrine, relief is the first emotion, then things get unworldly. Raptures, Zen peace, divine rage and unbri...

The Onsen (Hot Spring) [25 x 55]

Ame Kuma post The Onsen (Hot Spring) [25 x 55] from patreon

Steam fills the room obscuring the faces of the bathers. Choosing the right bathing spot can make the day. The two loud boors near the entrance are best avoided. Young drunks, most likely they will be scrubbing floors in atonement before morning.

The hot, almost scalding waters are best entered without grim...

Another day travelling through the Fey. We got this. It's a pretty place but don't wander off alone. Resist the Sirens' calls, stick to the stream.

Be sure to only pay what you intend with those innocent looking (treacherous, deceitful) traders. Keep a hand on your loot and trinkets when the nymphs and saty...

Camp of the Nomad Horde [42 x 42]

Ame Kuma post Camp of the Nomad Horde [42 x 42] from patreon

Here today, raiding the next town tomorrow, the Horde never stays anywhere long. Relentless, remorseless and just plain brutal. Fear, spreading faster than their famed steeds, grips realms on news of the Horde’s arrival.

Contrary to legend, the Horde must rest, turning uninhabited land into a city of yurt...

Japanese Canal District [50 x 50]

Ame Kuma post Japanese Canal District [50 x 50] from patreon

The canal is the lifeline of the town, transporting people, goods and livestock. More than just a waterway, the canal divides the people, the wealthy and powerful on one side, the poor and destitute on the other. Crossing the bridge is travelling between worlds. Some few raise their lives and cross to the upside. Through ...

If one is wealthy or well-connected enough, they may receive an invitation to the Atrium. Though lacking a title, the Master of the Atrium has influence which cannot be overstated. The invitation is a summons in all but name, defied only by the foolhardy.

Through an opulent entrance, guests are welcomed wit...

Gladiators, ready!

Blood, sweat and never tears. Under blazing sun and amid freezing mists veterans and aspirants toil relentlessly. Blades, tridents, nets and shields the gladiators must be versed in all forms. Weapon mastery alone is not enough, the crowds must be entertained. Losing marvellously can be t...

The rhythmic beating of the drums, heard over the roar of the waves and screeching of the gulls, heralds the arrival of the Shogun’s fleet. The Atakebune, pride of the fleet, a floating fortress loaded with artillerists, archers and samurai instils fear as it glides out from the mists. Wise enemies surrender, the foolis...

Matters of size

Hi

There is a time and place for maps of all sizes. You will probably not be surprised to hear that in our games, we tend to play on larger maps, with ambushes, cover PCs and NPCs moving all over the place. That said, we also use smaller maps as suits the scene. 

What map sizes do you like?

Also, if the...

Fey Glade [25 x 25]

Ame Kuma post Fey Glade [25 x 25] from patreon

At first glance, the sylvan glade offers respite from the rugged, primeval wilderness. Eerie silence, after the fey harmonies, is the first hint something is off. The bones are confirmation.

If you squint hard enough, the bones could just be those of wild horses or deer. Antlers are not long and straight, and wild horse...

The aggressively brutal opulence leading to the throne room is still inadequate preparation for the glory of the Dragon Emperor upon the throne.

Of course to see this, one must be granted leave to raise their forehead from the silk carpet or the view of Imperial Majesty will be their last sight before a journey to the H...

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Facing the Ocean's eternity, on a spring day, under a blue sky, the village looks idyllic. The songs of the  clam diggers contrast with the fishmongers' screeching.

The aroma is a different beast, unnot...

Wilted and parched by the blasting heat, the faithful arrive seeking succour. 

The congregation swarms the upper decks, those that don't pass out on the way up that is. More collapse in the crush, the pressed bodies adding to the baking heat before the Sun reaches its zenith.

Proudly towering over the island, secure behind walls, the Shogun’s Castle is the military centre of the land. Accessible by only one bridge, the Steward boasts none enter or leave without the Steward’s say so. Of course waters can be traversed, walls scaled and a good disguise is worth more than an old man’s bluster. View Post
