Adventure Assets 4

Adventure Assets 4

Hello all!

Roughly a year ago I began the "Adventure Assets" series in response to feedback in that year's patron survey generally expressing a desire for more specific assets that might fit more niche scenarios or create visual interest in a map of otherwise more mundane pieces.

The Adventure Assets series looks to help provide pieces that are characterized by visuals and tone of...

Ships & Sailing Assets 2

Ships & Sailing Assets 2

Hello all!

Over 5 years ago I released "Ships & Sailing Assets 1"; a what now seems like humble collection of furniture pieces alongside an assembly of varying shapes and sizes of ship templates to construct as you needed. Since then the theme of vessel/ship had laid dormant until we released Airship Assets 1 + 2 in the last twelve months. Obviously those were gene...

Planar Assets 1

Planar Assets 1

Hello all!

Back in the Spring you all indicated via our Annual Patron Survey a significant interest in expanding the available assets pertaining to otherworldly or strange areas. Thus, Planar Assets. This is a new series I'll be continuing to add to that is intended to cover asset types that would be indicative of different "planes" (i.e. "worlds") of a campaign.

Ground Textures 3

Ground Textures 3

Hello all!

I was excited to get to slot in Ground Textures 3 into my releases because I felt confident that I'd get to deepen the variety of the available floor textures, something I may particularly get more nerdy about, doing as many interiors as I sometimes find myself doing. As the ground textures section of the library has grown over the years I find a weird satisfaction in being a...

Woodland Assets 4

Woodland Assets 4

Guys!

It has been 5 years (counting back to "Tree Assets 2") since I drew and painted a conifer tree. 5 years. As time has marched further and further away from that date I found myself becoming increasingly less likely to use them in maps and begin to lean more on the deciduous trees that I'd made more recently. You might understand why then, I was rather eage...

Combat Assets 4

Combat Assets 4

Hey folks!

When putting out last month's addition to the Destroyed Assets series, I felt that an expansion of the Combat Assets would be a natural companion to that. This latest set of unfortunate creatures was made a bit differently than Combat Assets of the past. While previously (in Part 3 especially) I had made measures to include skeletons of corpses that matched their more recentl...

Industrial Assets 3

Hey folks!

Industrial Assets 3 is epitomizing a lot of what I've tried to focus on in my asset pack releases in 2024. We're bringing in new themes and ideas (craft and trades-based industry) while simultaneously introducing what I believe to be improvements on existing elements in the library (workbenches, wheelbarrows, wells, cloth overhangs). I like doing somewhat more niche themes li...

Hello all!

Last month as part of the "thank you" to folks that participated in the annual patron survey I sent out an opportunity to participate in a community-generated map prompt. After a narrowing-down process we ended up at:
