I've got the deck of the bridge finished, but I'm going to draw a roof level as well, along with a sideview of the exterior, which looks like this. It shouldn't take too long, but I wanted to give you a look at where thi...

I just got a new computer, which I've been overdue for and I need to finish setting it up. My last machine was something I bought because the previous one died and I needed something RIGHT NOW, so I settled for something mediocre. The new one is a proper g...

Since this is supposed to be a Venetian palace, it's going to be on a canal, but I'm going to make a version that's on land, too. The thing is, there's a boathouse on the left side and I'm not sure what to do with that. I mean, I'll get rid of the boats, obviously, but then it's an Italian palace with a monster truck garage. ...

Here's the updated map of the island. We've got a few dots on the map now and I decided to make it a little bigger, so I doubled the scale from 10 miles to 20.
I also made a page to collect all the Tir Thelandira maps as I draw them. Ther...

The Green Eye is a village and caravanserai built around a small oasis in a sinkhole. The place has everything a traveling merchant needs: camel parking, a room for the night, baths, a tavern and a provisioner. Oh, and water. Merchants need that to live.

Well, it looks like we all made it to 2023! If anyone's still hungover, try drinking a few glasses of water and you should feel better before long. If that doesn't work, just start pounding tequila. You'll have the same problem tomorrow, but you can cross that bridge when you get to it.

So here's a secret room which I suspect will be pretty useful, since a lot of adventures involve rescuing captives and a lot of maps don't really have a great place to keep them.
I tried to make the place look as dank as possible. Not "dank" in the positive way, but in the traditional sense. Dark, wet, kind of nasty. So...

Well, I decided to draw a palm tree on the map and call it the "Two Palms Tavern" after all. I'm not proud of having drawn a dad joke into the map, but it felt like the right thing to do at the time. I won't make a habit of it, I promise.
