Ongoing project to map...everything.

Hello - I did an account recovery & password reset so I could log in and thank you for these.

As did I! These are amazing, thank you so much for sharing!

For RotR, you didn't happen to do the other encounters, did you?

The Thistletop maps are great and just what I was looking for. It was hard to find the outside map and you've done a wonderful job.
From one DM to another, thanks for the hard work!

So I've been really busy for the last few months, work and such, you know how it goes. Very little time to actually get stuff done.

But, I've gotten some new campaigns going recently, so I got back into mapping, especially since I have some really big ones I need to finish that I've been putting off forever, and more beyond them that just keep getting piled on. I've been testing out some new techniques, too, mostly in pursuit of a final product that's as visually nice as a lot of other people's that I'm envious. There's a few cartographers I'd love to workshop with to learn new things. So yeah, here's the last few days of work from me.

Anyway, I managed some new work on this basement/dungeon map for Jade Regent. A lot of the work here is mostly experimenting with textures on the right-hand cave-like side, as well as color matching the whole thing. The props haven't been blended or anything, still playing with them. Very much a WIP.


And just a tavern I threw together for a game called War of the Burning Sky. It's set up for a fairly specific situation, but it could feasibly fill other rules. There's gonna be a second floor too. Obviously a WIP.


And because I'm just generally an idiot and always want to re-do things better than last time, I decided to re-make Tomb of Horrors for what will certainly not be the last time.
Playing with new techniques and learning new things here, while trying to make a cooler visual experience for everyone. I actually like how some of it came out, the Mosaic Hall especially, though I don't actually like the patterns I used for it. It's supposed to be a colorful mosaic, and I don't like the black in the pattern. Maybe I'll find better to use. Also, I don't like the floor much, but I just can't find anything to replace it with, so I guess I'm stuck with it. WIP.

[thankful]

Hi there, I literally just created an account to say your awesome. I'm currently playing pathfinder going through the Rise of the Rune Lords, and your maps are exactly what I needed!

Keep up the good work plz and thank you!

Just hoping you stop by and post more even though it's been a while. Great map work here.

Are you referring to thinks like the goblin encounters? No, I used mostly existing or community-made maps for those. I only do my own version if it's necessary due to one of the maps published in the module being too low-resolution to be useful, so for encounters that outright have no map, I probably wouldn't go through the process of making one if I can find one that suits my needs. I can, however, point to the ones I do use, they may or may not be sufficient depending on your tastes.

I probably won't have much of an update in the form of Runelords maps until my group finishes the first book and moves onto the second one.

Since I forgot to post it, the finished version of my Urgathoa Temple map, incase anyone was trying to use it.


And one of my current projects, the ridiculously huge Scarwall Castle map from Curse of the Crimson Throne's 5th book.


It may seem large, but more so when you realize this image is scaled down to 50%.

Your Urgathoa Temple map is awesome, it's really creepy and makes me want to run CotCC just to use it!

And I'll definitely be using your Thistletop maps if my RotRL players head back there, they left after defeating Nualia, they were too scared to investigate the area where Malfeshnekor is trapped.

Wonderful maps, keep them coming.

These are great. Where did you get the art and the tiles for the Urgathoa Temple map?

[Askren]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone, I'm glad you guys enjoy this stuff and may even get some use out of it.

I'd recommend it, if you're good at fleshing out a large city and getting your players immersed in a setting like that. I'm not particularly great at it, but my players really enjoy the second book, as do I. I think it's very well-written. My other group is just outside Thistletop, and scared to go in because they have no healer.

Pretty much all of it is straightforward objects from Dundjinni and these forums. Most of the props are, at least. The floor tiles are a pack by Shaun Ellis, I think I got them off Roll20, but I don't remember. Everything else was made in Photoshop from found textures online.
