A little update

It's been almost 3 weeks since my last post, so I want to give you a little update:

The first map of August is almost ready to be published.
This map is a sequel to the previous one (Burial Mounds Encounters), and you will find the lower level of the mounds, a dungeon.

The next two...

Burial Mounds encounters [25x50]

Hello patrons and followers, last map of July!
I have always had respect for the dead and for the places where they lie.
The grass is covered with colorful flowers and there is a lot of peace in the air... but this place scares me more than respect, the feeling of being observed and a lot. And not only of being observed, my fear is also that of not being...

At the End of the Road [25x50]

Hello everyone, 2nd map of July
I knew that sooner or later this road would lead us somewhere!
To tell the truth, I thought we were coming to a damp cavern, a lost temple, a lair of some horrible creature; and instead we were a little disappointed, there was only a small house, very nice to tell the truth.
Without fear we went up to that lonely mans...

City of Stones [25x50]

Hello patrons and followers, first map of July
We had already passed two mountain passes, in both of them no enemy and no danger came before us.
But now we were in a place that did not give me serenity: a great expanse of enormous stones, surrounded by shrubs, bushes and, here and there, a few trees.
Those big stones looked like houses, in fact it s...

Back from vacation

I returned from my little vacation in the Dolomites, a little paradise that I love so much.
The next maps, those of July, will be very influenced by those places, the predominant themes will therefore be nature, rock, meadows and snow

Camp under the Waterfall [25x50]

Hello patrons and followers, last release of June
The adventurer's life is hard;
so many dangers to face, so many enemies to defeat, so many trials to overcome.
However, sometimes there is time to rest in a quiet and peaceful place.
We have camped out and will refresh ourselves in this beautiful place... hey, wa...

Magma Chamber [25x50]

Hello patrons and followers, 2nd release of June
The heat is unbearable, we have taken off our armor and even our clothes, we will go through this nightmare of fire with only our pants, dragging the rest of the equipment.
Maybe we can get past this chamber, but what if we are attacked?

The Spiral Descent [25x50]

Hello everyone, first map of June
An unnatural place, certainly artificial, perhaps created with magic.
The path spiraled down, twisting into the depths.
At the bottom there was water, a small pond, but something could be glimpsed under the placid surface: an entrance.
But how could we get into it?

I had wanted to ...

The Tower of Necromancy [5 levels, 25x50]

Hello everyone, last map of May
I had been observing the tower for at least an hour, obviously from a safe distance.
It had a shape that my mind could not accept.
And then who will ever be able to live in a place like that?
And what wickedness will he be practicing closed in those rooms?

Volcano [25x50]

Hello everyone, last map of April!
It is said that Katwep, the greatest wizard who studied the pyromantic arts, took refuge in a distant tower, in a land of fire and magma, where the smell of sulfur permeates the air and poisons anyone who ventures into those places.
Many fire elementals are also said to protect his tower.

We had looked everywhere for the place they told us about, but we couldn't find it anywhere.
Then we realized our mistake, we observed the forest from the top of some tall trees looking for the roof of some structure, temple or tower

The small ledge we walked on was really narrow, not that it was a problem for me, after all I'm a little gnome, but the two orcs who escorted me had some problems.
At least twice Rokmakh had risked falling below, and it would have been a good fall.&...

We were really convinced that we would find a nice inn to have a hot meal and sleep in a soft bed.
