Smuggler's Fen [28x33]
Added 2022-01-15 20:10:07 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
The 'Smuggler's Fen' concept was suggested on the Discord a little while back and it reminded Cze of a place he knows called St Benet's Abbey, so we used that as the basis for this map. Our idea was that the ships arrive on the southern shore, barrels unload and are guarded in the abandoned monastery/windmill area and then loaded up on the northern shore and shipped away beyond the sight of the law.
A bit like River Stronghold this is an attempt at making a relatively compact and clear map with a singular concept behind it, making sure the tactical element is as strong as the storytelling. Hope you all enjoy. :)
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
We have two awesome things to announce. These will probably get dedicated posts too but we want to mention them here anyway as we're so excited!
Firstly this map comes with two awesome creatures, the Siren Grass and the Expert Trapper. They're included in the zip files! These were created by Questiary, a new monster-per-day project we're helping out with. Please go and check it out! Our plan is to make evocative new monsters daily. We'll be covering a new biome each week. Starting tomorrow we've got urban monsters coming out.
Next up we want to announce the Aldarra Reborn board game! Peku designed the cool hex tiles you can see in the image above and we've been helping to make this nifty steampunk airships board game battler. The kickstarter goes live February 22nd. You can be notified at launch by following this link.

I loved it! Used both natural and shadow to change in session when the slip at the Shadowfell, watching the ruins of the past. Your shadowrealm version/color scheme are great, looking foward to see more shadowrealm versions!

2022-01-17 06:18:53 +0000 UTCWe rented a boat with some mates and went round the broads for a couple of days last summer, it was amazing. So good we're going back this summer.
