Free 5E Adventure - Collaboration with Kelfecil's Tales - The Gathering Shroud

Heroic Maps post Free 5E Adventure - Collaboration with Kelfecil's Tales - The Gathering Shroud from patreon

Hey everyone,

Really pleased to share this with you all. We've worked with Kelfecil's Tales this month, who's written an adventure that uses three of our maps!

The Gathering Shroud is a creepy adventure set in a cursed realm, and forms the first of a two-part mini campaign (the second part will follow in the coming weeks)

You can find the adventure PDF, VTT versions of the maps and the tokens attached to this post!

Hope you enjoy! Please share your thoughts on this - I'd love to hear your thoughts...

Simple Dungeons Part 2 - 30% off

Hey everyone,

We're pleased to announce that we have a new set from our Simple Dungeons range, available now at DTRPG.

This set of 10 dungeon battlemaps are intentionally generic and flexible, giving you quick options when you need a dungeon map. They range in size from 10x10 to 20x30, because sometimes you need a small basement under a house, and sometimes you need a sprawling tomb. Each map includes an unfurnished version too

THere's a Foundry VTT version, with walls and lighting set up, as you can see in the video. T...

Alt-Version and Third Maps - released!

Hey everyone,

Some new releases for you today!

We've released the second map for our Explorer range (see this post)

We've also got the winner of the Alt Poll, and a nice Third Map

The winning suggestion in the alt-poll was to have an underdark cavern where lots of rivers empty into a chasm. We've done that, with a few versions - one with a deep lake or a pit, crossed either by an intact or broken bridge

EXPLORER - Tropical Beach

Hi everyone

It's time for the second release in the Explorer range - and this time we're taking you to a peaceful tropical beach.

With warm sands and a break in the cliff, it's the perfect place to begin an expedition into the jungle interior, or perhaps it's where you find yourself washed up after a ship wreck!

You can download this map from this post, or check your messages for a link to claim it on DTRPG. If you've previously claimed the Explorer map from last month, this will just be added to the existing entry in your...

Thanks to those that suggested an alt for the MotM (the temple overlooking a drop)

MotM and Variants - Temple of the Sailor/Celestial Gate/Infernal Abyss/Great Chasm!

Hi everyone,

Welcome to a new month, and even more maps!

Really excited to share with you the MoTM, and the Variants! (links have been sent to you, and the maps are in the VTT vault too)

Now, this particular map came about because a Patron (Cat Girl Gamer) asked if we had a cliff-side temple for a particular scenario they were running. I asked them to email me with a description, and even though we didn't have something, I was very inspired and decided to make it!

So, the MotM is the Temple of the Sailor, a temple...

50% off The Canopic Being - Candlekeep Mysteries

Hey everyone,

We've found time to tackle the next adventure in Candlekeep Mysteries - The Canopic Being!

Now, this was quite a tough map. The original map has lots of very long corridors, and is 1sq to 10ft, so it ends up being massive! That made it rather taxing on my laptop. But what was also tricky was that it was made of crystal. It's quite hard to make something look like it'...

Bit of a catch up - Alt Maps, Fantasy Mega and Sci- Mega Sent!

Hi everyone,

You've just been sent codes for a fair few maps! (plus they're in the VTT vaults)

So, let's break down what's just been released.

First, the Alt. Now, funny story here. I had looked on my phone (using the terrible Patreon app) to see what had won the poll. The app indicated that the winner was the crater. Great, I thought, I'll make the crater. So, I made the crater. (with no-stone version). Then I thought 'the submarine volcano was a fun idea, I'll make that too as a bonus..'. So I made the submar...

30% off Icespire Peak - Dwarven Excavation

Hey,

Now that we've finished mapping all of the Vecna:Eve of Ruin adventure, I thought I might work on (at a semi-gentle pace) the maps in Dragon of Icespire Peak. Not too many maps, and they look pretty useful for most campaigns.

First up is the Dwarven Excavation, a ruined evil Dwarven temple in a canyon

EXPLORER - Canyon Path - Desert

Heroic Maps post EXPLORER - Canyon Path - Desert from patreon

Hi everyone,

Here's the first release for our new Explorer tier - 'Canyon Path Desert'. Everyone will get this map, including people that have joined on our new $2 Explorer tier.

This 30x30 map features a crossroads in a desert badlands canyon - perfect for an ambush, or meeting a strange traveller!

The Explorer map will feature a different landscape map each month - a simple but atmospheric and inspiring location for use in any game!

All the files for this are in the post, but if you like to have things on DTRPG, ch...

Hey everyone,

It's been a lot of work, but I'm really excited to say that we've mapped the entirety of Vecna Eve of Ruin! Something like 37 maps, many of them huge or multi level. And there's a great range of planar/astral/infernal things in there.

The Plane of Fire - an intense inferno in the caldera, with fire, ash and lava in the landscape

Meteor Strike - impact site of a strange glowing crystal, still smouldering

Underwater Volcano - a seamount or submarine volcano

Monolith - a strange monolith rising from the hole

Toxic Lake - a green, bubbling toxic lake, spilling out into the landscape

Third Map & Sci-Fi Map Released!

Hey everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend. I've been pushing on with getting the Vecna Eve of Ruin campaign fully mapped out (only 3 or 4 left), but also found time for the Third Map and the Sci-Fi map

The Third Map is The Library of Lost Knowledge - a two-level map of an urban library, with strange artefacts upstairs and lots and lots of books!

Second, and for those on Sci-Fi tiers - Gamma Prime Base! This followed on from...

Map of the Month - The Devil's Maw & Variants

Hi everyone,

Time for a new MotM! This time we've gone for an interesting landscape feature with lots of adventure potential!

The Devil's Maw is a deep, smoking hole in a hilly region - clearly an entrance to the underworld, or a place that something bad may emerge!

The variants are Hellmouth Caldera, Caldera Lake and Skullfire Shrine

Fury of the Forsaken - Kickstarter with our maps!

As you might know, we really enjoy working with Lou Anders, a talented author who also has created a fantasy RPG setting based on the world in his books. We've worked together over ten times, creating map packs to accompany his adventures.

Megadungeon Map 1 - Mines Under East Vargrhill

Hey everyone,

I was very excited to start work on the new fantasy megadungeon. The winning idea was 'Mines Under East Vargrhill', a Dwarven mine in a frozen mountain.

This first level has a bit of blizzardy mountain path, and then a small Dwarven hold and the entrance to the mine. I'm looking forward to delving deeper!

This first of six maps is available now to claim from DTRPG and the VTT vault, and each month we'll add to it until it's complete :)

Important Patreon News :)

Hello,

We've been running this Patreon since September 2017, and during that time there haven't been too many changes to the model, aside from adding the Foundry tiers after a little while. Lots of things in the wider world have changed though, and whilst we've tried to absorb that, after 8 years we need to make some small changes.

First, the exciting part.

We're adding a new map and a new tier. Called The Explorer tier, this $2 tier will provide one versatile wilderness/environment map e...

Sci-Fi Mega - Six Undercity Scrap Market

Hey everyone,

Here's the next installment of our bleak futuristic city - The Scrap Market.

Positioned near the waste processing plant and the repair district, this section is essentially a scrap yard. A smelter/recycler facility processes as much as it can, but not quickly enough. However, a market has sprung up in the area, with traders digging through the scrap to find things to sell.

It's a great place to pick up a rare piece of machinery for your spaceship repair - or maybe something dangerous?

If you're on a sci...

Alt-Version - Ruined Skyship Dock

Hey everyone,

Thanks to everyone that took the time to vote in the alt-version poll last week. The winning idea was to convert the sky islands into a ruined/abandoned airship dock/repair place.

This should be a good jumping off point for sky-island adventures - can you fix up an old airship?

The map is in the Vault, and you've been sent links to download the full versions

(p.s. there's also a non-ship version included)

Have fun!

Simple Dungeons Part 1 - 30% on DTRPG

Hello everyone!

I felt the need to put together a pack of generic Dungeons. If you're like me, you can never have enough. And sometimes you don't need a huge sprawling themed dungeon - sometimes you just need a few rooms.

That's what inspired this set. It contains 10 generic dungeons, of varying sizes (10x10 to 20x30), all quite generic and useful,whilst still being atmospheric and exciting. Each one has a furnished and unfurnished version, so they're nice and flexible

Hey everyone,

With the completion of Noctis'ar, a 12-section mega drow city, it's time to pick the next fantasy megadungeon which we'll work on for 6 months.
