Swinging Bridge Phased Battle Map [35x55]

Hi everyone!

My apologies for being a bit late with this one. I've been having a hard time focusing on anything other than the OGL stuff for several weeks now. I am hoping it is all settling down though, so the rest of the releases will be coming shortly as well.

Here's a quick reminder, just in case you wanted to use one of these phased battle maps on Roll20, and not sure how to: you can just go to the map layer, and put the phased maps, from last phase to first, on top of each other. Then when it is time to get...

Roots of Dskora Encounter [Free]

Hi everyone!

Second encounter of the month is here! This is still 5e compatible. The map for this encounter can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/dark-forest-on-75852884

Hope you all like it!

Ashes of War Encounter [Free]

Hi everyone!

The first encounter of the month is here! This is still 5e compatible. Unfortunately I lost a bunch of Patrons already as soon as I said that I will be moving away from the system :(. For now, I am still doing 5e content though. I will likely be front-loading whatever 5e encounters I have lined up this month, since I do not know when the Wizards will decide to drop the new OGL and when it is going to go into effect. The next encounter is going to be scheduled to drop probably in a couple of days.

The map used for thi...

Release Schedule and Where do We Go from Here?

Hi everyone!

I am alive.

Now that the madness of OGL 1.1 has somewhat calmed down (although I am not at all convinced we will still get a good OGL out of the deal), I can finally get back to my usual work. Since the whole thing started, it has drained me of every bit of energy I had in me. And to be completely honest with you, I cannot wait to start on my new map - there is great comfort in it for me, especially now. The quiet time, with some show or a YouTube video in the background, where I can just drift into the land of fanta...

New Creator Support Community: Rising Tide

Hi everyone!

My team of admins and I have been working on this community project, Rising Tide, for a couple of months now. Being a creator can feel isolating and lonely at times. Learning the business is hard. There are virtually no resources specific to TTRPGs, and the resources that are out there, are hard to find. This is why I had the idea of starting this community. We have industry pros come in and talk about marketing, crowdfunding, monetization, and more!

With everything that's happening in the world, now...

OGL 1.1 Leak and DWW

Hi everyone!

Well, 2023 kicked of with a vengeance, didn't it? I am sure by now most of you have heard about the new OGL 1.1 leak from WOTC. If you aren't sure what it's all about and why it is bad, here's a quick summary by DMDave (you can see his full post on it here, he did a really good job laying everything out):

• All creators earning over $50,000 per year have to report earnings.

Sick

Hi folks!

I have some not great news - I've been really sick for the last 4 days. I am covid negative, so I don't think it is that, but it's a pretty nasty bug still. I pretty much haven't really gotten out of bed since I got sick with a fever, nasty sore throat, and other unpleasant symptoms :(. Needless to say, I haven't been able to work on the latest release almost at all. I was supposed to release it today :(.

Since I've been planning on taking some time off this month anyway, I guess it's just going to be a bit earlier than...

Release Schedule

Hi everyone!

I hope all of you are having a great holiday season! This month's schedule is going to be a bit different - I am planning on taking the entire last week of the month off to rest and recharge for the next year! This means that we will only have 3 paid releases. This means that those of you who don't have a limit on how many releases you support (or have a limit set at 4), you will have a smaller charge from me!

We will also only release 3 encounters this month. Everything else is going to be the same though - Foundry ...
