Hello everyone, and happy New Release Monday! This is the very last map of 2024, but don't worry, next year will be jam-packed with even more maps for all the current projects and hopefully some new projects!
Today, as promised, I have a massive release featuring the restored Haunted House from the Sinister Secrets of Saltmarsh Adventure. This map was created with two goals in mind:
1. To create a blank canvas which can allow you to place your own asset pack within the maps empty rooms to create your own player bastions.
2. Created a "restored" version of the manor, which you can use as either a player bastion pre-built or simply another manor map to add to your arsenal of maps.
Outside of Saltmarsh, another great use for this map could be the Tresendar Manor from the Lost Mines campaign to be used as a player Bastion once your party clears out those pesky troublemaking Redbrand.
Please do let me know if the empty version is useful as I want to create maps like this going forward to consider Bastions, I just need to preplan the logistics to be able to easily create both empty and built versions going forward. So if you like it, drop me a comment and let me know!
With 130 individual file options, this release is massive! Here is the breakdown of the core maps:
1. This release includes the map's Exterior, first-floor, second-floor, attic, and basement levels.
2. Each level has an "empty" version, a normal version with weather options, and a "no-lights" version.
Additionally, in the restored versions, I tried to include as many Bastion options (at least for level 5) as I could. This includes the following locations from the Bastions list in the new DMS:
Exterior: Garden
First Floor: Trophy Room, Library, & Arcane Study
Second Floor: Arcane Study & Workshop
Attic: Sanctuary & Storehouse
Basement: Armory, Barrack, Smity, & Laboratory
I think you'll find tons of options here to use as a Bastion or just simply adding another manor house to your arsenal of maps (and we all can use manor houses right??).
For my Champion Tier Patrons, this Release Contains:
Cores Maps of the Following: Exterior, 1st Floor, 2nd Floor, Attic, Basement
"Empty" Variants of each Floor
"No Lights" Variants of each Floor
Weather options including: Sun Rays, Fog & Rain
8k & 4k Image Resolution
Grid & No Grid
Jpg & Webp Files
VTT Sizing Guide
Phew! That's a wrap for 2024. I can't believe I am going on five years of making maps already and still feel I have so much more ground to cover.
I'll be taking next Monday off to spend some much-needed time with friends and family, but when I come back in 2025, I plan on continuing my work for CoS (I hope to work on the Blue Water Inn and a generic forest map), Saltmarsh (Fishmonger's Plan), Winter's Grasp (Tser Falls Bridge and Top of the Falls), and CoS Reloaded with a Lake Zarovich Shore for the Izek fight (in no particular order).
I'm very excited about the future as I continue to update my older maps, create new ones, and bring the town of Saltmarsh to life as well as any other project that might come my way!
I'm even more honored that you'll be joining me on this journey. I hope to continue creating maps that will visually enhance your games!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year and/or Happy any other wonderful Holiday you get to spend with your friends and family!
Let's all make 2025 the year of fantasy and gaming!
Cheers,
DM Andy
