Oh - I'll check those out - Thank you! Such amazing maps - can't wait to see them :)

Cze and Peku

We made one called Grand Hunter's House and also the Vampire Mansion. Both of those would work!

Alex Hammond

Any chance we could get a really generic nobles estate? I've been looking for a nobles estate for heists and noble plot hooks and even fancy PC keeps

d.jack

Nah, I'm pretty much in the same ol' jaded boat. The people who understood what made Planescape (and honestly the majority of pre-4E D&D) special are all gone or have been thoroughly 're-educated' to think their previous creativity was somehow a bad thing. Current-day lore writing for D&D has more in common with a Marvel/DC writing team than it does with the olden days.

I mean, they've a new book this fall, I believe, that's supposed to be a return to it. I already know I'm unlikely to be happy with it, as... well, I don't agree with the faction disbanding- that was a chunk of why I loved the setting. And I don't foresee them walking it back. I also foresee them giving a stretched skin canvas that's vaguely planescape flavored, since they only seem to half commit to anything lately. >< Jaded thoughts aside though, maybe that'll start bringing in resources again?

I love all the other realm stuff! Would love to see some Shadowfell love as well though in the future!

Eliot Miller

Sometimes I think these polls are determined by what people are willing to google ;) I didn't know it was called a Siheyuan but I've wanted to live in one for a long time!

I run AD&D 2nd Edition so naturally there's a decent amount of stuff within the source books there, but as far as new content, yeah, it's pretty dead. But that's ultimately due to WotC abandoning the Planescape IP and the Great Wheel cosmology after 4e came around. They kept chunks of it, but it's all over the place now, sadly. So if anyone makes some cool Planescape-oriented stuff, even if just for random one-shot locales and situations, I'm naturally all for it. I do think Cze and Peku's aesthetic taste and artstyle would do wonders for such a setting.

Planscape would be great especially since there's a severe lack of it from what I've seen (in terms of maps and tokens)

Rachael Wickman

The mix of stilt and floating buildings looks so neat! A Tonlé Sap village would be awesome. :)

Cze and Peku

The names of the poll options above are taken directly from those given to us by Patrons. It will definitely be inspired by a real place. We used to live in Vietnam and know it well. :) We haven't yet decided what part of Asia we would use as inspiration, maybe a village on Tonlé Sap?

Rachael Wickman

Huge YES to all the non-Western locales! It's especially cool to see real-life architecture, not just the aesthetics: riad (Moroccan house with central garden/fountain), siheyuan (Chinese walled-house with a central yard), and yurt (Mongolian portable home). I personally hope the "Asian Fishing Village" is not just generically oriental, but based on Vietnam, with geography like Hạ Long Bay/Cát Bà Archipelago, and maybe even include some ancient raft-houses a la Cai Beo! - https://photocontest.smithsonianmag.com/photocontest/detail/the-raft-village-in-cai-beo-fishing-village/

Palace of Statues for a Ruler's pet basilisk encounter would be awesome

Dallin

Haha loving all of these suggestions, you've included a lot of non-European options as well which is fantastic for the campaigns I'm running at the moment- can't wait to see how the votes play out

Xotyc

A real panopticon would be so cool! It's so hard to find a good map for that, and a supermax prison break would be an awesome scenario!

Holy Pickle

In general would love more maps for the various outer planes! Hard to find good ones!

Malynda Catling

I find I never have enough variety to nature inspired maps (though I bet they're the best common) Vineyard is a new one <3

d.jack

I'm planning on running some Planescape stuff in the future, so the Nine Hells (or any other Planescape content really) is definitely useful.

Craytoll

I need too many of these maps

Joe Hill

Panopticon would be great, but too late for my campaign now! Honestly, it’s a simple one but the Hilltop Watchtower sounds like an absolute staple map that, while not immediately arresting thematically like the others, would end up being very useful.

CUSHYDEMON

Brothers may I have some Y U R T

Lubyak

So many “Asian” map packs are really just Japanese styles, so would absolutely love to see more Chinese inspired maps!

Matthew Hoeveler

How about urban ruins, preferably with a post-apocalypse vibe?

McKenna Kelso

The Great Wall would be *beyond* helpful for my campaign!

Tyler B.

This one might be out there but maybe a village in the mouth of a massive dragon skull.

VICE

PANOPTICON I'd give my soul and more to see it created, I'm riding the ULTRAKILL high and desperately would love to see that famous prison structure in ttrpg format coz it's so rare yet precious

BiTT B

Definitely want to see what Old Mexico has to offer.

JP Salentine

Lord of Blades!! Taking my players into the Mounland for our final arc!

Paul

I had to google panopticon. I know this was one mentioned in the discord, the prison scene in Guardians of the Galaxy sort of stands out to me as a panopticon option. Love this idea! And it could be useful in almost any campaign where players get arrested. It's just a shame not everyone will know what this is.
