The Quiet Margose Tavern

The sign hanging from the tavern shows a matronly woman carrying a large mug of ale while holding a finger to her lips in the near-universal symbol for being quiet. But the tavern itself is rarely qui...

When I put the maps up for voting in May for the “Release the Kraken” project, I included an old favour...

Baraloba - Along the Hewbank

After cutting through the Badlands of Slate, the Hewbank meanders through the slate hills to the east of Baraloba. This stony environment has the Hewbank meander significantly and form into small lake...

Baraloba - The Road to Sabre Lake

This hex sits to the lower-right of Baraloba and is mostly a forested hex cut through by the road that leads from Baraloba to the distant Citadel on Sabre Lake.

Along the road we run into a few clas...

May we release the Kraken?

Sorry. Let's pretend that title was the pain talking, and not just my horrible sense of humour (I'm "enjoying" lovely kidney stones right now).

Anyways. Maps. Specifically, re-releasing old map...

Maze of the Storm Witch

Cut into the foggy clefts of the Steaming Mountains, the Maze of the Storm Witch must be navigated (or the whole mountain climbed over) in order to reach the Pale Divide. Unnatural mists fill these pa...

Backstage Pass - May 2018

Here comes this month's BackStage Pass!

It is a bit bigger than usual because of one map in the mix. Normally my maps are black and white and thus take up only about 1 meg of space per map even...

Release the Kraken on the Ruins under Axehead Mound

It is the end of the month and time to head back into the older maps and dig up a few to re-release under the free commercial license, all thanks to the awesome patrons who support my cartographic wan...

April / May Patreon Update

Hey, wow, what a month!

As I've been hinting at a lot lately on my social media pages, I've been under a pretty serious work crunch for this past month and last. This has cut into my interactions wi...

Tertiary Passages into the Depths of the Earth

When travelling the depths of the underdark, there are passages and caves that most “civilized” denizens ignore because they are small, narrow, and fraught with obstacles. These “tertiary” pas...

Secondary Passages into the Depths of the Earth

While most traffic into the depths of the earth tries to stick to the primary passages, there are those who wish to travel either to less-ventured places off the main passages, or those who wish to av...

Primary Passages into the Depths of the Earth

There are tunnels and passages that lead deep under the land to the ever-dark homes of the various so-called “deep races”. These descents are typically marked on the rare maps of these underlands ...

Return to Quasqueton - Upper Level

My revised map of the main level of Quasqueton (from the classic B1 module “In Search of the Unknown) just didn’t have enough space for all the rooms on that level even after reducing the amount o...

Return to Quasqueton - Main Level

In Search of the Unknown is one of my favourite modules of all time. But there are times that the map annoys me as the main level is more hallway than rooms (and that’s with 38 rooms on that level)....

Stones of Salanan's Peril

As we weathered the storm anchored off of Cruuk’s Shore, it was impossible to not notice the constant cascade of lightning striking to the standing stones by the old ruins that the sailor’s insist...

Tower of the Marmoset Savant

The Marmoset Savant is a very small, very shy, marmoset wizard of moderate level and impressive knowledge. They are probably the shiest deus ex machina I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with.

As on...

The Oracle's Grotto

There was a time when there was an oracle within the walls of the city, one who could see through all things to seek answers and who could even see into the future. But that was when the city was youn...
