Eldritch Temple [70x70]

This Eldritch Temple was designed to be the "The Tartarian Temple" in The Sinking of C'Thagn, a Pirate Borg adventure I'm posting later today. See that post for more information (coming soon). It's basically a HUGE Cthulhu style cultist & aquatic themed dungeon. Need I say more?

I've included several useful versions, including flooded, underwater, drained...

Happy holidays, everyone!

I'm very excited to reveal a project I have been working on for several months: the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh from H. P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu.

I've been drawing this on my iPad as a passion project, and it is finally ready to share with the world. I have plans to turn this into a printed map with an adventure and locat...

Goblin War Barge & Treehouse [70x40]

Ah, a classic Limithron boat release.... it's a GOBLIN RAFT!

I've had a sketch of this thing on my hard drive for over a year... this month I decided to finish it.

Of course you can use this as a skeleton or pirate raft, but I love imagining a horde or orcs or goblins crowding is deck. If you are familiar with the Magic the Gathering setting Ixalan, I love the idea of goblins like ...

He did not know whether it was just a pool in the path, or the edge of an underground stream that crossed the passage, or the brink of a deep dark subterranean lake." -J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
