Hail Travelers!

Hope that you all enjoyed our adventure to places unknown and weird! Went a little outside my comfort zone with these otherworldly maps, and learned some new things. Hope that those maps can add a bit of variety to our library.

The "Fantasy City", a common location for many games, but sadly one that I have yet to really touch. Let's change that, and dive into creating some great urban maps. With all the varied and unique locations that are found in this locale, we might find ourselves making it our home for a bit. Here are some of the ideas I have had of late:

Streets - Inn - General Store - Pub - Shops - Bridge - Sewers - Bank - Doctor/Dentist - Artisans - Craftsmen - Market - Slums - Hideout - Warehouse - Saloon - Casino - Gates/Walls - Barracks - Jail - Courthouse - Post Office - Stagecoach - Library - University - Docks - Wharf - Channel - Baths - Theater - Temple - Guildhall - Morgue - Ruins - Tower - Construction - Hospital - Neighborhood - Manor

And likely much more! If you have any ideas for locations and scenes please feel free to shout.

Preview of the first map:

Wayfarer — Foundry VTT

All of the desert maps have been completed and this coming week I will start working through the otherworldly maps. More to come soon!

Got to use this map for an in person home game!

Public Map Variant

Each month, I'll be release a public version of one map variant from that month's packs. Patrons who don't usually get access to variants will receive this as a bonus!

This month I chose the "elemental lair - tar pit". It's one of those locations I haven't really seen too many maps of, but I think has lots of potential. I loved this one a lot, and I am trying to find a way to work it into a home game. The perfect location for a final boss battle with some intense environmental hazards thrown in there against the party.

Hope you can find use for it at your tables!
