  • barrel stacks knocked over

  • big glass panels (+ broken)

  • people carrying a long plank

  • market stalls and items (standing and scattered)

Most of these assets are shared for this map in the 'MapElements' folder for everyone as I wanted to have the map more interacti...

Street Chase - Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Encounter 3 (All Tiers)

Street Chase - Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Encounter 3 (All Tiers)

Street Chase. Down the alley, they dart around the corner out of sight, the party gives chase, hot on their heels.  Rounding the bend they emerge onto the main street, wagons going every which way as the fleeing escapee heads for the market...and on the chase goes. A classic movie chase scene ready for your D&D game.

Map Notes. The map is intende...

Rooftop Chase - WDH - Assets (Mapmaker+)

A collection of 34, hand drawn, bespoke blobs for your maps.

I don't know if there is an asset type that I use more frequently than amorphous blobs: blood, snow, ice, dirt, debris, water, puddles, beer, wine, whatever - I've used the default "blood" assets in Dungeondraft for far too long and I was getting tired of looking at the same shapes across my maps.  So this week I am presen...

Rooftop Chase - Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Encounter 5 (All Tiers)

Rooftop Chase - Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Encounter 5 (All Tiers)

Rooftop Chase. A daring chase across the top of Waterdeep. Narrow ledges, ladders, drops, gaps and seasonal hazards. Multiple paths snake across the map giving lots of options for DMs and players alike.

Map Notes. For the mapping I relied heavily on shadows to convey building height and made them much darker than I typically would. Normally my aim is to h...

Alley - WDH - Assets (Mapmaker+)

Custom assets to make a creepy doll shop or a pie shop, depending on the season. Assets include

  • pies

  • dolls

  • tools

That's mostly it if I'm being honest; but there is a LOT of doll stuff (which also could serve as body parts or laundry).  The tools I went above what a doll maker would likely use/need (and wanted the map to have some...

Alley - Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Encounter 1 (All Tiers)

Alley - Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Encounter 1 (All Tiers)

Alley. A non-descript alley of Waterdeep. A old, small one-story windowless house is tucked in the middle of the alley and surrounded by taller buildings and shops - including the peculiar doll shop and in winter, cutter's pies.

Map Notes. Firstly, I'd like to lodge a complaint with the Waterdeep Carpenters guild. Or at the very least I'd like to make a d...

Converted Windmill - Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Encounter 10 (All Tiers)

Converted Windmill - Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Encounter 10 (All Tiers)

Converted Windmill. A crumbling two-store stone building that was a windmill long before the city rose up around it. Now it has been converted to a residence (autumn), a suspicious butchers shop (winter), cultists hideout (summer), or is home to squatters (spring).

This is the first map in the encounter chains of Chapter 4: Dragon Season.  I held a poll for my Patron...

Gralhund Villa - Waterdeep Dragon Heist (All Tiers)

Gralhund Villa - Waterdeep Dragon Heist (All Tiers)

Gralhund Villa. An estate, bordered by 12-foot high stone walls in Waterdeep's North Ward. Home to the Gralhunds, who certainly are an eclectic bunch.

As I got further into mapping this, the more I realized that - a private lounge with a wrestling mat and nude statues, a marble ballroom with mirrors on the wall and an orgy mural on the ceiling.  The source book was i...

Gralhund Villa - WDH - Assets (Mapmaker+)

Lots of content for Cartographers this week!

The source material was very detailed on the décor of Gralhund Villa - as such there were a lot of assets to be made to line it up with what was described.  

The following files are included (this time including 3 different asset packs):

Fireball in Trollskull Alley - Waterdeep Dragon Heist (All Tiers)

Boom. The loud roar of the explosion breaks the early morning silence as the windows rattle and floors shake.  In an instant, you are up at the window, and can see smoke billowing from the alley to the south, fragments of wood and bodies thrown haphazardly into the street....

Ch 4: Dragon Season Encounter Chains

Hello!  I'm nearing completion on the Gralhund Villa map (and the next release, Trollskull Alley Fireball, is 100% complete - it will be released Friday), so I'm looking ahead to Chapter 4: Dragon Season.  

There are 10 encounters in all and I will be making maps for all of them.  As a DM you would run 8 of 10, in the order dictated by season.  I'm opening up this Patr...

Trollskull Manor - Waterdeep Dragon Heist (All Tiers)

Welcome to Trollskull Manor.  This 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom corner lot is perfectly situated in the up-and-coming neighborhood of North Ward.  It is a bit of a fixer-up that will be a true gem of Trollskull Alley in the right hands.  It boasts 5 floors, spacious main floor taproom, and a poorly stocked wine cellar.  New owners assume responsibility for any polt...

Xanathar Guild Hideout. A small hideout for the guild, one of many, tucked beneath Waterdeep in the extensive sewer system. This map concludes Chapter 1 of the campaign and has players navigating a labyrinth of underground sewers to find the hideout.
