Next Animated Map Poll

Hey everyone, here are some options to vote on to see what you'd like us to animate next!The options will grow over time but we have to make sure we have the original PSD files to be able to animate the maps, so we're still digging those up. If you have any requests though, mention them in the comments and we'll see what we can do!

Oni Hideout [32x46]

Hey everyone!We decided we hadn't made many outdoorsy or Asian themed maps in a while, so here's an Oni Hideout for you all! We were joined on this map by Jesse, who helped us with the Opulent Ballroom, Train Station and others. :)The original is rather peaceful like our Zen Temple and Hot Springs maps but lurking in ambush is of course a terrible oni. We'll leave the fate of the rice farmers up to your imagination...We were hoping to...

What kinds of airship should we make?

Hey everyone, we're planning on designing more airships over the next few months to go along with the airship port battlemaps we're planning.So our question is, do you want Eberron-like elemental airships with big rings of fire? Or more traditional fantasy/steampunk airships with wings and sails?You can vote for both options if you'd like to see a mix!Or if you have other types in mind, let us know!(A lot of Spelljammer ships are so k...

Plague Hospital - Animated Battlemaps

Hey everyone!We're back with a new animated map. Check out the preview in the video above!This is hopefully perfect for some post-battle scenes, recovering below swaying plants and softly bubbling springs. Or maybe just a disconcerting place for a zombie outbreak!We'll also be running some polls from now so our $10+ patrons can choose the maps and variations they want to see most as animated battlemaps. If you have suggestions, drop them ...

Airships! Pt. 2 [various sizes]

Hey everyone!This is a follow up to our Airships! pack. Hard to imagine we made that over a year ago now. We'll be making several airship related packs over the coming months, as well as a multi-part release of an Airship Port, similar to how we released the Train Station map packs. First part hopefully coming this month!We decided to release these airships solely as transparent PNG files. We thought this way would be better so that they can ...

Arcane Clocktower [Various Sizes]

Hey everyone!This was the winner of our last map poll, hopefully its what some of you envisioned when voting for it!Our idea for the map was a clocktower that showed the time in different planes, for those planescape-like cities with lots of portals, where busy folks are heading to work in the cities of flame and going for groceries in the verdant fey planes.All the rest of the complex arcane-alchemical-eldritch machinery on the other floors are ...

Medusa's Wake by Dagonzo Adventures

Hey everyone!A wicked creature has decided to make its new lair outside of a bustling town - a creature so vile a mere glance is said to turn a person to stone.

Temple Pastures [36x43]

Hey everyone, back again!This map was almost entirely inspired by this painting by Antonio Joli:The idea of these quaint farms in the shadow of a giant ruined temple just seemed too fantastical not to make into a battlemap. Some casual reminder that we're a living part of someone else's post-apocalyptic dream.We've made versions with the temple in all its former glory, some in ruins, as well as some without the temple at all. Perhaps ...

Celestial Gate - [34x51]

Hey everyone!Deep within this enchanted birch forest there awaits a gate to the stars. Or maybe somewhere completely different if the Fey have been messing with it! Time to open a portal, jump in and find out!Our idea for this map was trying to find some mix between the eerie and ancient and the peaceful ambience of an ancient forest.We're joined for this map by McRoMusic who has composed a great track to accompany this map. We'll be post...

Deep Sea Organ [27x47]

Hey everyone!We're back from our holiday with a new deep sea map.We had this idea for a merrow vampire playing an organ made of hydrothermal vents and just had to make it into a map.Lost Acumen collaborated with us on this map and if you haven't seen their work, you should definitely check them out. We also have a stat block for the deep sea vampire made for us by Dagonzo called Lord of the Deep with an accompanying token. Those can be gr...

A Quick Update

Hey everyone!We've had the last fortnight off as a relaxing holiday and we're now getting back to work on the maps. This has been a special month for the two of us as we're finally in the same room/country/continent again for the first time in over a year (who knew Covid restrictions would last this long...)1.

Dragon Poll #3

Next dragon poll! We're going to keep it to a few at a time but we'll add in more suggestions from the comments each week.We hope you've all been enjoying this series so far!

Dracolich Lair [35x84]

A dragon will see the rise and fall of many civilisations before it has to face its mortality. The most ancient dragons are born into the stone halls of people so long forgotten that our ancestors spoke of them in myth and legend.A Dracolich may live for many millennia longer than that.These dragons are mysteries to the living. You won't see them flying over cities in petty acts showing off their chromatic scales and hoping to be written abou...

Geothermal Rift [various]

Hey everyone!We're proud to present the sequel to the Mountaintop Observatory we posted last month!This pack is a sprawling series of levels taking your party from the observatory (or arcane cannon if you prefer) down into the three levels of the geothermal power station and finally into source of all the power: the planar rift. We've gone full magi-tech with this map combining steampunk-ish technology with wizardy portals and Efreeti fir...

Secret Fey Fountain [23x48]

Hey everyone!Every waterfall has something hiding behind it. After all, that's what waterfalls were invented for. Behind this particular waterfall is a secret fountain of the Fey, a pool of replenishment and rejuvenation or perhaps a blood altar or a secret oasis in the desert or a door to the astral.This map was a collaboration with Ori the Cartographer. We'll be working together later in the year to bring you a multipart Fey Court serie...

Medusa's Wake - Animated Battlemaps

Hey everyone,We're back with a new animated map. Check out the preview in the video above!This time we decided to animate the lava version of our Medusa's Wake map.

Train Track Pack - Free for all Patrons

Hey everyone!Last month we ran a poll asking if you wanted us to release a train track variations pack here on Patreon and we were hoping either everyone would love the idea or loathe it. But unfortunately it was almost exactly 50-50!Not wanting to disappoint either half, we've decided to just release them all here for free for all patrons! We hope they're useful to you. :)Some maps have train tracks for traditional real-world style train...

Collectable Battlemappers Series 3

Hey everyone!Series 3 of our collectable inflatable battlemappers series has just dropped. Big thanks to everyone that made Series 1&2 a success.

Astral Plane [70x48] - Collaboration with Zhillustrator

Hey everyone!Deep in the Astral Plane, beyond space and time, the gaps between of nothingness opens into a vastness and there in that infinity lies the graveyard of the gods. Turned to ice and rock after millennia of sleep within the empty astral wastes, the broken astral gods float in their slumber, careening into one another, crumbling into space dust.This map was made in collaboration with our good friend Zhillustrator! You maybe remember our ...

Mountaintop Observatory [43x66]

At the base of the mountain a campfire crackles. Everything is stiff with frost. The adventurers hardly dare peer up out of the flames. They’re afraid to see to the submit lest the weight of tomorrow’s hike become too much to handle. They wonder why they even took on this job. Would the gold be worth the frostbite? Worried glances spread among them until one of the huddled campers points up beyond the clouds to a glimmering light high in the ...

Merfolk Marina [33x49]

Hey everyone!Welcome to the Merfolk Marina, one part of the bustling Coral City. Here whales are loaded and unloaded with conches, kelp and mermaid's purses, the centre of the thriving underwater trade routes. Overlooking the Marina is Nautilus Plaza, Moray Marketplace and the cosy Merfolk homes.

Harpy Cove [34x51]

Back when our parents were children a lighthouse stood here. A red and white tower guiding merchant ships into town and bringing with them pickled plums and salted figs. The sailors would sing shanties of sea monsters and barnacled beasts with eyes the size of melons. And in turn the weaverfolk would line the docks and swoon to their songs of the sea. In the Summer of the Red Sun the light house collapsed, dragging its loyal wickburner down to da...
