Patient statues of toads lying in wait [35x47] (hand-drawn)

I'm very sorry for the long wait since the last maps, but the toads have finally reached us! My partner's very first hand-drawn map is available to everyone, and we would love to hear your feedback! Style, usability, etc.

I'm still working on my thesis for another month or two and will only be able to make maps sporadically, but after that I can work through the mountain of ideas that have accumulated and delight you with maps at a much higher frequency. In a few days I will also release a map pack for adventures in flood zones :)

We have a few ideas for 2026, some of which will hopefully make it into production. More region maps, drawn assets, maybe tokens to go with maps packs. A dream would be an illustrated adventure scenario or something similar.

Ideas for the secret of the toads

At this location, spiritual individuals such as druids have the opportunity to reach a higher plane through meditation and gain information and powers there. They must sit on the tongue and must not interrupt their meditation under any circumstances, otherwise the tongue will be triggered. It gets unpleasant when animals from the jungle, such as monkeys, begin to disturb your players.
A treacherous guide lures your heroes here, promising that those who are worthy will find success on the path of the tongue. If some heroes escape the trap, he will lure the giant leeches living under the water's surface to engage the group in an additional battle, while those who fall into the trap will perish miserably. (But there may also be some ways to get people out of the frog again.)
In their dreams in the wilderness, your players are urged by a friendly toad to come here. Once they arrive, the toad's voice will lure them to the statue and trap. In fact, the evil spirit of the great tree is behind the dreams. But if they can escape the tree and threaten it credibly, it can reveal various secrets about the land and their quests.

We hope you enjoy this first hand-drawn battlemap! :)
