Cult Assets 2

Added 2023-12-23 15:40:48 +0000 UTC

Hello all!

Earlier this year a new asset pack series, Adventure Assets, was born from patron feedback in our annual survey (part 2 of this set released in August). This series was designed to address specific asset needs for creating maps fitting to different adventures and settings developed for 5E. In hindsight, it has also helped serve a difficult role of bringing in a collection of more niche dungeon-like elements that would have otherwise been difficult to find places for in the more typical asset pack series.

Today we have Part 3 of the Adventure Assets series, this time dedicated to the original adventure that launched fifth edition: The Lost Mine of Phandelver. Those of you who have gone through my backlog of WotC maps will know that I've already mapped a majority of the applicable locations from that adventure, but it seemed appropriate to me (and was voted on by poll earlier this year) to "top off" the Phandelver content, particularly in light of the update it received by way of the new adventure released last September, Phandelver and Below.

Cult Assets 2 includes:

A selection of more unique medium-large assets suitable for cults of varying types such as altar pieces, occult statues, ritual devices, and braziers.
New humanoid-sized manacles (!) as well as some giant chains that are great for adhering to some otherworldly aberration or just culty vibes.
An array of culty-feeling weaponry, artifacts, and a couple of chests!
Some more niche "occult phenomena" like ethereal eyeballs and reality-warping pillars
Pillars! I've been wanting to do pillars properly for so long. You'll find them here in two different styles, in varying sizes, and in varying states of decay from untouched to almost falling over.
And of course, an 'example map' of some kind of semi-subterranean, industrial lair, home to a dramatically-violet portal and other cult paraphernalia. You can find it in an unfurnished variant too alongside the standard grid and VTT options.

Dungeondraft

The Dungeondraft-ready conversion of Cult Assets 2 contains everything therein as an object within the mapmaking program. You'll also find a major chunk of those objects as a colorable counterpart and a path for 'drawing' out seamless versions of the giant chains.
