Hello everyone, and happy New Release Monday! It's the first release of 2025, and I'm so excited for the upcoming year and continuing to map out the various projects I've been working on.
This week, I created a map called "Dreadmist Fen. " It features a dark, looming pine forest surrounding a murky pond with a central island.
I wanted to expand my nature maps for use in generic encounters, and maps like these are great for supporting areas such as the Svalich Woods or the Dreadwood from Saltmarsh.
This map features three different variants for the central island:
Old Grave
Gnarled Tree
Empty
This way, you have a few options for what you want your players to find in the center of the pond, as well as the blank version, so you can add whatever asset you'd like!
Additionally, each variant has a "No Trees" version, so if you want to show token placement under the trees, you can use both maps interchangeably.
For my Champion TIer patrons, you get the following with this release:
Six Color Moods: Dark Fairytale, Ghostly, Gloom, Night, Sunny Day & Warm
Three Core Variants: Old Grave, Gnarled Tree, Empty Island
No Tree Version
Weather Overlays such as Fog, Rain & Sun Rays
8k & 4k Image Resolution
Grid & No Grid Versions
Jpg & Webp File Types
VTT Sizing Guide
Next up, I will be continuing my work to support the third-party supplement "CoS: Reloaded" written by DragnaCarta. This will feature the shoreline of Lake Zarovich for the Izek encounter (Which you can read here) which is covered in Arc F. Even if not using this guide, this will act as another nature map featuring a shoreline and I will have options with and without boats.
Later this month, I'll be working on locations from both Saltmarsh and Vallaki so stay tuned for that.
Thank you for your continued support and I hope everyone has a great 2025!
Cheers,
DM Andy
