Heart of Darkling - The Cove of Coals

The Cove of Coals is one of the last points of interest before reaching the Darkling Lake. At a confluence of the Darkling River and the Goblin Rill are ruins reminding travellers that these undergrou...

January 2018 Backstage Pass

Thanks for the support everyone! Here's this month's backstage pass collection of maps in a 20 meg zip file!

I'll post the first one tomorrow and keep on posting them until we run out of Januar...

Christmas Kraken 4 - Javelin Hill

With all the weirdness and rushing around this month between Patreon and Christmas, I didn’t put up the usual poll to decide on what old maps would be re-released under the Release the Kraken proces...

My Private Jakalla - Map 1R

Finally, with this 18th map in the “My Private Jakalla” undercity map set, we arrive at one of the physical borders of the city itself – the as yet unnamed river.

Along the river we have a sew...

Christmas Kraken 3 - Queen Hazren's Shrine

With all the weirdness and rushing around this month between Patreon and Christmas, I didn’t put up the usual pol...

Christmas Kraken 2 - Epherin's Keep

With all the weirdness and rushing around this month between Patreon and Christmas, I didn’t put up the usual pol...

The Juicer

We never did figure out exactly who built "the juicer". A clever contraption using the water pressure of the underground river next to it, we did discover that the main chamber of the juicer could han...

Christmas Kraken 1 – Perrol on the Mount

With all the weirdness and rushing around this month between Patreon and Christmas, I didn’t put up the usual pol...

Vigilance Trail

Here is a somewhat rough and quick map of the Vigilance Trail as it comes down from Raven’s Pass in the Eastern Diamond Range. Not many use Raven’s Pass anymore – the major towns on each side of...

Thunderhead, the cloud city

Not all towns and cities are built along rivers, trade roads, and bays… Some boast the most spectacular scenery they can find, and in Thunderhead’s case, if the scenery isn’t good enough, the wh...

Prior's Hill

Eight massive standing stones loom around Prior’s Hill. Grasses never grow tall here, and according to those willing to track their travels through the forest, the druids’ paths all eventually lea...

Rosnar Hill

The patriarch of the cult of the White Archons retired to a tiny little thorp built up around a small bridge over an almost equally small river. He spent a small sum on fixing up the old church where ...

Griffinwatch

Griffinwatch got its name from stories that the hilltop where it sits was once home a nest of griffons. Once a watch fort on the border between elven and human lands, Griffinwatch became redundant as ...

Pillars of the Temple of Rains

At the edge of the Falleck Promontory overlooking the Dry Badlands of Korush, a series of bizarre (and probably unnatural) stone pillars reach 60 feet up from the dry floor of the land and support a s...

Heart of Darkling - The Bandit Tower

This access point to the Darkling River comes from a small tower on the surface that is currently run by a moderately successful group of bandits. They combine classic banditry with adventuring and tr...

December Backstage Pass

Here's the backstage pass for this month - well, except for one map.

I was pushing pretty hard through the month on the #mapvember challenge, and didn't get around to drawing the next section of the...

Release the Kraken on Stariphos Bay!

Our second kraken release this month is Stariphos Bay - a lovely little city map I drew back before I started using technical pens. It was a wee little 4x6 drawing when I first made it, so it doesn't ...

My Private Jakalla - Map 1Q

While much of the maze of old structures, basements, and temple substructures in the undercity is technically the domain of “cults” of the various gods of order and change, there are some areas th...

Brinkman's Cave

The clear waters of the Yashek Rill flow out of the hills south of town. If you follow the small river about two hours into the hills you come to where it flows out of a large tumble of rocks at the b...

Release the Kraken on the R-AN (NorthCott) Sociological Research Domes

[Like all Release the Kraken posts, this map is a freebie, not charged as a creation on Patreon]

Every month that we maintain funding over the Kraken mark we sift through and vote on w...

Headquarters

 “We found this place just sitting there in the wasteland… and wastelands being wastelands, we moved in because it was fairly defensible and gave us some cover from the storms and sun. But fo...

The Banshee's Tower

The wail of the banshee can be heard through the fens for miles around. In the nearest village they pretend it is the call of a very persistent screech owl, but few actually believe it. 

On a l...

Home of the Master

A powerful and evil spellcaster, “The Master” has ensconced himself near the middle of a city full of monsters and humanoids that serve him at some level or another. Thus, his security is somewhat...

Wreck of the Wight's Shadow

In the ruckus during and after last week’s incredible storm, it went almost unnoticed that a local pirate sloop, the Wight’s Shadow, went under. Not lucky enough to run ashore in the storm, Walfor...
