Manshoon's Sanctum

Manshoon's Sanctum

Hello all!

Manshoon's Sanctum is my latest map pulling directly from adventure material in the 5E universe. Like my other recent maps in this vein, the Sanctum here is from Dragon Heist, specifically from the "Winter Wizardry" chapter towards the end of the module. Those of you familiar with the adventure will be aware that it's known for featu...

Welcome to the 7th "map pack" released in collaboration with my friends at Roll & Play Press, an ENNIE Award-winning, independent publisher based in London, UK.

Destroyed Assets Poll!

Hello all! Doing something a little different here.

I'm planning on releasing Destroyed Assets 5 later this month; I've obviously got parts of it put together right now, but was bouncing off of different ideas and thought that perhaps I could get some guidance from you all on what you'd like to see contained therein. I know this particular theme is fairly popular and rout...

Dragon Heist: Old Tower

Dragon Heist: Old Tower

Hello all!

Old Tower is this month's map derived from source material in the 5E universe, in this case--Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. The Old Tower is just one of among several "side locations" players may encounter along a quick chain of encounters that together compose a chase sequence in pursuit of a powerful artifact.

This map of the Old Tower was made as ...

Furniture Assets 6

Hello all!

Welcome to the latest installment in what I believe is our longest-running asset theme now (and for good reason): Furniture assets. Obviously fairly broad in nature, I try to use these particular packs to double down on gaps that I observe in the library while also improving upon/upgrading existing assets that I feel merit it. If you were hoping for something...

Tempestuous Portal

Tempestuous Portal

Hello all!

The Tempestuous Portal is my latest map within the "subclass inspired" series I've taken up recently--this time a blend of the Storm Sorcery sorcerer and Great Old One warlock subclasses. In it, you'll see a mysteriously ascended ring of stone, providing access to unknown depths. 

I imagined this location acting a...

Gralhund Villa

Gralhund Villa

Hello all!

Gralhund Villa is my latest map derived from source material in the 5E universe, in this case--Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. The Villa represents a fairly pivotal turning point in the narrative of the module as the players transition from a season of getting acquainted with the city to initiating a multi-stage chase sequence that will eventually lead them...

Food Assets 2

Food Assets 2

Hello all!

Back in the summer of 2021 I released Food Assets 1, a pack that very self-evidently contained a bunch of food! Since then, I've dipped into that pack frequently whenever doing virtually any kind of urban map as well as other auxiliary scenes where campsites or other habitation may be. And the thing about using a pack frequently like that is you get pretty familiar wit...

Ruins of Thundertree

Ruins of Thundertree

Hello all!

The final map of our Candlekeep Mysteries collection is a bit of a doozy and so I had pivoted towards the end of the month here to what was supposed to have been a location of comparatively more narrow scope, but in classic fashion I became far too invested in and sunk a great number of additional hours in, but behold! Thundertre...

Roof Assets 1

Roof Assets 1

A little while back I got a bee in my bonnet over just how long it had been since I'd last taken a full-throated attempt at making roof textures (if you're curious, it was the "wooden roofs" pack released in April of 2020, almost four years ago). In light of that "fun" fact, I desperately felt we needed more!

Thus, Roofing Assets 1. Rather than tack individual st...

Today is a "double header" of asset releases due to the way things shook out this month and the first up to feature is Academy Assets 3. The "academy" series serves as a catch-all pack for any manner of assets that might fall within a "magical school" environment as well as general academia, research, or simply upper-crust urban life.

The Hinterlands

Hello all!

For the last map of 2023 it feels fitting to share the latest regional map I've gotten the opportunity to put together, another in a series of map types that I personally feel exemplify the greatest sense of adventure and story.

The Hinterlands is a setting for a 3rd party, wherein a certain section of peoples from the Material Plane gain access to the Hinterla...
