TMC - Modular Madness | VH - St. Andral's Church | Next Theme!

Hey all!

It's a big one today, as well as a reveal of next month's theme. Let's get started!

The MAD Cartographer | Modular Madness

For the final instalment of this month's Modular Madness, we've hit buildings - adding a huge number of buildings to our library of extracted buildings ready to be placed on any scene, as well as a four story, noble mansion map!

The Noble Mansion

This stunning noble mansion has been ready to release for quite a while, but a few different factors and technical hiccups have meant that it's been sat in the garage for quite a long time now! This map has 2 main living floors, as well as a basement and attic, and spacious grounds. It isn't a large country home for sure, but could very believably fit into a larger city map as a spacious home of minor nobility.  The Noble mansion is available both as a map, and an isolated building!

Downtown | Modular Buildings

Our Downtown theme and Foundry module have been updated with over 60 newly added buildings. We've revisited many of the buildings from previous themes that existed solely as maps, extracted them and tweaked them if they had very situational uses before (for example, we've created a building version of the ruined Elturel Chapel from our Hellscapes theme that can be dropped on any map as it's not longer bathed in the glow of hellfire!)

Now if you need a quick tavern, shack, farm, or haunted hospital you can just drag it out from the actors table and the scene builds itself! We've re-released the background textures that we did during Downtown month so you have a canvas to place these structures onto.

Harrison's particular favourite this month is the underground crypt, which is a modular version of the crypt from our Wild Woods theme. Using levels, this places a small mausoleum on the map, with a staircase down to the crypt dungeon existing at a below ground elevation. This means you can potentially drop a whole dungeon on your map and only have it take up the space of a few steps leading underground!

Additionally, we've re-categorised the groups within the Foundry module to keep all the blank variants together, so you're able to use our assets to fill blank buildings to fit any situation your game requires!

pCloud has been updated with this content; which you can access through your Theme Master List and the Foundry VTT module is updated and ready to be downloaded.

You'll now also see that the Modular Madness 300ppi Product is now available on the Patreon Shop, and is a free download to any patrons on the All the Things tier!

Vampire Hunters | St. Andral's Church

St. Andral's Church in Vallaki can be the location of several significant plot events during a Curse of Strahd campaign, and is the scene of a crime investigation the players can embark on. Despite this, there is no official map for the location!

Our St. Andral's map provides Day/Night/Dawn/Blood Moon variants of this modest church, including stairs down to the crypt - the scene of the crime where St. Andral's bones may be stolen! We have included variants of the crypt with and without the bones of St. Andral on display, so you can accurately reflect the theft in real time during your game!

The gallery has been updated with this content, as well as pCloud, which you can access through your Theme Master List and the Foundry VTT module is updated and ready to be downloaded.

Next Theme | Phandelver & Below

We've been working on next month's theme for a few months now, and even if this is an adventure that you have no intention of running, the sheer amount of maps involved should keep you interested!

Phandelver and Below will be two separate releases we bring to you during February. The first half will contain every single map included in the Lost Mines of Phandelver module, with our own Foundry features that you'll be familiar with in our content - triggering traps with the click of buttons, unleashing dams of water and seeing the map change automatically in the Cragmaw Hideout etc.

Not running Lost Mine of Phandelver? That's fine - instead think of this as a theme crammed with high quality forest, cave, and dungeon maps - including Wave Echo Cave, an enormous dungeon map.

Later in the month, we'll be releasing Below, which contains all of the maps included in the latter half of the new Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk adventure! Delve deeper beneath the forests into caverns, long-forgotten dungeons, and corrupted shrines - before venturing into the Far Realm, an alien and aberrant plane of twisted Illithid structures.

Have no interest in running The Shattered Obelisk adventure? Not a problem! These will still be a huge drop of new forest, sprawling dungeon and crypt, and weird alien maps that could easily work as a Demiplane or Astral scene.

All in all, this month will be bringing over 30 new unique maps BEFORE taking variants into account, and is easily going to be the largest content drop we've made in years. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work from the team, and we're excited to share it with you!

Until then...

Keep Rollin' those 20's, folks!
Harrison, Alex, & Team MAD
