Verdant Glade | 40x30

Hello everyone, and happy New Release Monday! Here we are... the last month of 2025 and what a whirlwind this year has been! As you can see, I've been busy ramping up my map assets, and I wanted to feature some of these new assets here on a single map. I present to you: The Verdant Glade!

In the last few months, I've been working with one of my talented artists to create a pack of nature assets that matched my vision for how I wanted to approach nature maps.

Oftentimes, I've felt frustrated with nature maps because they are not exactly how I envision them in my head. They felt either flat or repetitive (or both), and I'm always looking for a new way to approach these nature maps to make them feel varied and wild. Overgrown and alive.

So I set out to work on a series of nature assets with the artist I work with each month, and here I can present to you most of these new assets, all on a single map! You'll find:

• Clovers

• Varied wild flowers

• Ferns

• Trees (oak and pine)

• Overgrown grass

• Reeds

• Rocks

• Ivy

• And tons of different leafy plants

It's always been my goal to take a basic map concept (and probably one of the most popular map styles out there) and build on that to create the most immersive nature maps I can create.

The Verdant Glade features an overgrown, wild, and floral glade where you can use any of the six color moods and weather combinations to create anything from a beautiful and vibrant forest encounter to a dark and forbidding mist-filled wood.

To help with the dark moods, I also created a version both with and without flowers which I feel dramatically changes the feel of the map as shown below.

This is just one of many new forest maps I have planned (You already saw the Witch Wood, and I plan to make larger and more robust forestscapes). Additionally, we've always started working on new swamp assets as I am planning on re-doing all my older swamp maps to create an even more creepy swamp vibe!

I hope you enjoy this forest map and have many fun encounters here!

To continue the nature front, I have planned a re-work of my Forest Standing Stones map (with some pretty neat variants planned) later this month. Additionally, I'll be creating my last "official" location from the town of Vallaki; The Town Square (Which I'll be calling "The Gothic City Town Square). I still do plan on creating additional maps for streets, alleys, a re-work of the Sanguine Rose, and the Orphage eventually.

Additionally, for those who enjoy my Saltmarsh series of maps, I'll have another town location planned for the end of the month, so stay tuned for a varied and wide array of map titles this month.

Thank you all for your continued support, and I hope you all enjoy (or survive!) your own encounters with family this holiday season!

Cheers friends,

DM Andy
