[WIP] The World of... *cough*

Miska Fredman post [WIP] The World of... *cough* from patreon

I don't yet have a name for the world this map belongs to, but we started playing a D&D 5th edition summer campaign with my 13 and 8 year old boys and 11 year old daughter. 



Regardless of my 27 years of roleplaying I have never really familiarised myself with any of the D&D fantasy worlds ou...

The Haven of Wisdom

Miska Fredman post The Haven of Wisdom from patreon

Beyond the Sea of Fog lies a lonely island and within its rocky cliffs there is the fabled Haven of Wisdom. Part monastery and part a library, protected by arcane powers and monsters guarding it under the sea, the Haven of Wisdom holds the secret writings of forbidden magical lore and the scriptures of dark rituals that once ...

Law Enforcement Outpost Eridani-5

Miska Fredman post Law Enforcement Outpost Eridani-5 from patreon

I'm not exactly sure where I got the idea for this map, but I wanted to make some kind of base built on a side of a crater or an asteroid, for example. Based on the design, I would not place this map on an asteroid, but rather into a crater or similar rocky terrain. Also, the lack of airlocks hints that there is some kind of ...

Coming soon: Biomechanical Alien Hive/Ship

Miska Fredman post Coming soon: Biomechanical Alien Hive/Ship from patreon

Here's something I got just a moment ago done, but I've wanted to do for awhile already. I have no frigging idea what's going on with this map, but it was really ...interesting... to draw. I'll post this as soon as I get this scanned and through the post-production. Let's see if I add some kind of a story seed with it too. View Post

The Red Catacombs (map #40)

Beyond the Haunted Swamp and the three rivers there is a a lonely hill and on the top of it lies an old crumbling stone temple – the tomb of an evil warlock Sanguinar.

Patreon Collection May 2016

Miska Fredman post Patreon Collection May 2016 from patreon

Another month has passed and as I told in an earlier post, a crowdfunding campaign for my upcoming (Finnish) RPG  took a lot of my free-time. The campaign just started its last week, but fortunately we reached our goal already during the first week and there has not been a great pressure to push the campaign since then. ...

A River and A Road

Miska Fredman post A River and A Road from patreon

OK. This is my first double-posting day :) I admit it. I have some maps piled up because of my RPG projects. I have drawn maps on my breaks and in the evenings, but haven't had the time to finalize and publish them lately. Now the month is coming to its end once again and this is actually my sixth month on Patreon now, so I'v...

The Cottage in the Woods

Miska Fredman post The Cottage in the Woods from patreon

This map is not very special as such. It is actually quite mundane. It's just a cottage with a well and an outhouse in the woods. It's not an epic dragon's lair filled with treasure and secret passages, but you know, sometimes these kinds of maps come in very handy. 

Who knows who lives in this small one story hous...

Hephaestus Mining Station

Miska Fredman post Hephaestus Mining Station from patreon

At first I had a vision of a kind of an oil rig in space. As I started drawing this map, my idea of this station became more focused. The crew of this station would not be the miners in dirty coveralls, but technicians and engineers operating remote controlled mining units outside the station.

As I mentioned before I've been lately quite busy with the Indiegogo campaign for my upcomign RPG, and before that I had some pending releases that I had to take care of. But, now it's a bit more calm again and I had some time to finish one of the maps I've ...

Miska Fredman post Coming Soon to a Patreon Near You from patreon

Here's a quick shot of the maps that I'm working on and preparing for release. One map is actually missing from this batch as it's on my work desk at the office. I'm planning to watch a movie with my wife and oldest son today (something classic, like Die Hard or Matrix perhaps) and finish one of these today. Any wishes? ;) View Post

Miska Fredman post [Extra Freebie] Galactic Sector Map from patreon

Hello, I do occasional commission work when I have some spare time. To be honest, I really would not have had the time, but I was unable to say no to this. I've wanted to draw a space map for awhile already and this presented a good opportunity to do a little practice at the same time.

April 2016 Patreon Collection

Miska Fredman post April 2016 Patreon Collection from patreon

Another month has passed again and there was a good number of maps done during April. This was not a super-productive month, but still I was able to squeeze together a few maps. Most of them were custom maps for my $3 and $5 reward level patrons, but I must say that some of the April's maps became my current favorites.&n...

The Ghost Tree

As an old Traveller RPG fan this map was a real pleasure to make. Megatraveller was the second RPG I've ever played.  Why this is so meaningful thing for me is requires a little anecdote.

Hello again. I really seem to be out of luck with my Computers skill checks :) I was supposed to do the recording in the evening, but ended up updating my Mac to the latest OS X version. Well, I decided to do something with the time I had while waiting for the progress bar to complete a bit by bit. What I did was I tested if ...

Line art for an Umbra-class system patrol ship I did on a coffee break.

I actually like the design myself and it might call for a more detailed version when I have some time for it. What do you guys think?

Here's what I'm going to do next. I have not redrawn any maps before, except for some rough drafts, but let's see how this turns out. Megatraveller was actually one of the very first RPGs I ever played and when I was asked to do this, I had to browse through some of the old books I still have in my RPG shelf. I must say, the ...

Here's another cool map idea by one of my patrons. Tiina is one of my $3 tier patrons and when I asked what kind of map she would like to get, I got a pretty interesting list of features. 

After a brief discussion, I had a pretty good idea of what I needed to do. I would do an an...

I have not drawn much natural caverns so it was refreshing to draw this map for Mike Diamond, one of my $3 tier patrons as his custom map reward.  

I was asked to make a cavern tunnel system with a room big enough for a boss fight and some crystal shards sticking up from the floor. I'm always in when subter...

In the vast Rust Flats lies the remnants of a ruined city of Ork. Stories are told of a huge empire that ruled the Five Lands and the lands beyond the Dry Sea.
