Shadowfey Portals - Collaboration
🕑 Added 2021-10-16 19:01:01 +0000 UTCGreetings all!
Today I have something rather special for all you wonderful Patrons. Not only do we have a brand new battlemap, we have two brand new battlemaps. As if that wasn’t enough they are both phased battlemaps...
...and if that still isn’t enough we also have some awesome writing to go with them!
May I present to you, The Shadowfey Portals!
This project has been part of a collaboration that has been going on behind the scenes for the last few weeks with the amazingly talented Domille, of Domille’s Wonderous Works, and the awesome writers at dScryb. Links to both their pages below.
I have been very lucky to work alongside such excellent individuals and I hope that you enjoy the fruits of our labour!

The Maps
Both Domille and myself each drew a portal battlemap, Fey and Shadow respectively, they swapped equally poorly organised Photoshop files and set to work invading each other's planes! :D
Shadow Portal
Faerie Portal
The Writing
If you haven't checked out dScryb then let this be your excuse to do that right now! Their awesome team of writers have been hard at work picking out key locations and points of interest on both maps providing GMs with some wonderful descriptions to set the scene for your players.
Not only that, but using their unique interactive map you can navigate around the battlemaps, reading as you go! Click the link below to check it out:
“Jutting stones lean against one another, forming a crude doorway. A light emanates from the portal—the deep purple of a bruise—beckoning you forward despite its sinister aura. From the portal, you smell fresh earth, tinged with cinnamon. A warmth, completely unknown here, seems to waft from it.”
“Cresting the stairs, a gate within the tree’s trunk beckons you forward. The light radiating from the portal grows fiercer, brighter, as you draw near. Whispers seem to emanate from that light as it pulses and swirls. A foreboding feeling crawls up your spine as you peer into the placid light—and beyond, you sense a place of dark and cold.”
Make sure you check all of the creators in this collaboration! Details below!

Collaboration Map Maker: Domille’s Wondrous Works
Domille from Domille's Wondrous Works creates phased and animated battle maps on patreon.com/dww. Phased battle maps are maps for tabletop RPGs that evolve with the fight.
The dungeon master can choose to progress the encounter to the next/previous phase at the top or bottom of the round, or at any time if the party is out of combat.
While we always encourage DMs to have a primary encounter going on in the foreground, with the phases changing in the background, our battle maps are also challenging enough to hold their own as the main event. Phased battle maps provide enough terrain, threats, and challenges to keep the most experienced player on their toes.
