Free Map Friday - Beggars Guild


The Beggars Guild was a request this month. +Eric Lamoureux was looking for a beggars guild map for his Beasts & Barbarians game and posted that there were none to be found. I couldn't let that challenge go by, so I picked up to the gauntlet. Hidden inside the city wall the Beggars Guild plenty of twists and turns secret entrances and exits as well as a secret vault. I hope it finds a home in your city.

Free Map Modern Monday - Enter the Sewers


As an extension of Free Map Friday I am starting to theme free maps for other days of the week. Everyone enjoys a swim through the sewer, right?  Well maybe you do if you're a teenage pizza eating reptile.  I'm working on a supers game featuring some "half-shelled" celebrities and thought this map might be needed. This week for Modern Monday I present a very unsanitary sewer that is being used for more than moving waste.  What do you think? How are you going to use this map? Also included by request is a full 8.5x11 sheet of water texture.

Free Map Friday - The Kobold Warrens: Level 1

Kobold warrens, treasure pits, giant radioactive ant farm, let your imagination be your guide. Continuing with the Underground Empire series, this week I wanted to see how quick and easy it would be to assemble a map using the Mines and Tunnels VTT tiles and very little editing in Photoshop. This took approximately 1 hour to produce (even though I did embellish here and there.) I hope to produce a video soon showing how I did it.

Science-Fiction Saturday: Battleship 7681, Part 1 - The Bridge



This week by request of my patrons to create a space craft on the scale of the Galactica. Since a craft of that size would be daunting to create as a single map and probably crash my CPU in the process, I have decided to put it together in a series. The Bridge is part 1 of a series of maps I will be releasing once a month (give or take) on Saturdays; henceforth to be known as Sci-Fi Saturday.

Thanks to all my patrons who make these free maps possible, as usual they will receive the Hi-Res version at the end of the month.

Free Map Friday: Troll in the Dungeon



This week's Free Map Friday continues where the Cellar of the Art Thief left off:

After being locked in the Cellar of the Art Thief, you make your way back to the main cellar and proceed north...
"This is a small room with passages to the east and south and a forbidding hole leading west. Bloodstains and deep scratches (perhaps made by an axe) mar the walls. A nasty-looking troll, brandishing a bloody axe, blocks all passages out of the room."

Still stumped as to where the inspiration for this series comes from? Hint:You are entering "The Underground Empire."


I hope you enjoy this week's map. Let me know how it works in your adventures—drop me a line or tag me in a post.

Free Map Friday - Mine 40




This week I felt challenged to join in a contest that Inkwell Ideas was running after a post +Tim Shorts made and since I was already working on the Sci-fi theme my patrons suggested, a remote outpost was the perfect scene for this week's map. 

This week's Free Map Friday is a weird Science Fantasy location with so many possibilities—Has the area been infected by some mutant virus that attaches itself to buildings? Has some creature made a nest on some remote outpost? Some mad science experiment gone wrong? Or a biological research center?


I hope you enjoy this week's map. Let me know how it works in your adventures—drop me a line or tag me in a post.
