April map poll, Boss fight edition!
Added 2022-04-04 03:00:02 +0000 UTCThis month I'm doing boss fights only. Adversary April? April Antagonists? I'll think up a name eventually. Anyway this month all the maps I release will be boss battle themed! Each will include PNGs for the boss and blank backgrounds in addition to the normal boss-on-map version for DMs who want very fine levels of control!
Balatro's Top secret coolkids club. Discord!
I've decided to make a discord! Sometime this month you can expect to join via Patreon's integrated discord system. The goal is to allow you all a chance to pitch ideas for maps, Meet each other, Talk about the good good nerd stuff, your games, Ida's guide, and any future projects I'm working on. Really just a more direct line to talk to me and each other!
5$ patrons will also have access to a chat where they can drop suggestions for maps to include in the monthly poll.
Ida's Guide Update!
The book has been coming along very nicely, I estimate 45% finished. Lots of new art for the book to show off. I'll post some here but also check out my Twitter where I do more regular updates on the book if you want to be kept up to date!

The monsters of Dunwel
In Ida's Guide, the monster chapter of the book features art all painted by Ida herself on her fact-checking journey as she chronicled the events of Darkul's Game which our heroes are playing out. With the amazing Amphre standing in as Ida's Our-world counterpart lending her amazing talent and distinct style to Ida's brush. All of the creatures featured in the book will be in-fiction paintings of the creatures and notes taken by Ida herself!

Many Such creatures will play direct roles in the events of the book and cross paths with our adventurers as the journey across the Redwoods of Dunwel Fen Such as the Ivolant, shown below. A creature born when a mage curses themself willingly to attain immense magical party, at the cost of becoming a monster- forever.

Or the Greatfinch. A massive territorial bird native to Dunwel Who's hard-earned trust can be won with effort to provide a unique, but fiercely loyal flying mount.

While the first 300 copies of Ida's Guide are preordered first editions from Kickstarter, After the first wave of release the book will become more widely available for my supporters who didn't jump in on the Kickstarter hopefully at the end of this year or early 2023. You'll of course be the first to know here on Patreon!
As always I'm so grateful to be able to create my very own sourcebook to share with you and still provide for myself and my family almost exclusively from my Patreon Patrons. I have the best job ever and it's all thanks to your continued and amazing support! Thank you so much!
