The Drowned Docks are one of the many points of interest in the undead-infested city of Sestia.

Once a busy centre of trade, the docks have now become a dangerous and abandoned stretch of the river, with only the dead moving between its ruined wharves.

This map is also the setting for a bonus side quest we're creating as part of our upcoming Halloween adventure, Senna's Legacy.

A vital food shipment bound for the surviving citizens of Sestia has disappeared into the Lower City. The PCs must venture into the Drowned Docks, recover the ship and its cargo, and somehow make it back to safety while the undead close in around them.

What could possibly go wrong?

This month I'm creating a bunch of map for our community homebrew region of Havarrlan so I thought I'd return to the first map I ever map for it. Mosswood Keep.

Inspired by the elusive Greywater Watch from GoTs, this particular keep is also quite hard to find as it keep moving around the bog!

Personally I'm thinking an infiltration and jail break session for this one. What you use it for?

New Map Release: Customs Gatehouse!

Every great city has a gate… and someone making sure you pay to get through it.

Our latest Urban Battlemaps release is the Customs Gatehouse a fully detailed, three-level map inspired by a suggestion from our Discord community.

I'm thinking the guards confiscate a mysterious item from the party… and now they have one night to steal it back before it's sent to the city vault.

How would you use this map in your campaign? Let me know in the comments!

Cheers

Get your stealing shoes on!

Forteia's Vault, is a brand-new four-level fantasy bank built for daring heists!

So gather your crew, dust off your lockpicks, and get your heisting gear ready… because there's a fortune waiting inside.

Hi all!

The journey is complete… almost.

We've just released the final map in our High Mountains series, bringing the legendary Stormward Way to its epic conclusion.

From the Howling Gates to Ravencrag, across perilous mountain passes, ancient shrines, icy waterfalls, and the deadly Thousand Eyes Pass, every step has led to one destination…

The Temple of the Storm's Eye.

This has been one of my favourite worldbuilding projects to date, gradually building an entire pilgrimage route map by map. It really shows how a collection of battle maps can become a living setting.

What kind of adventure would you run along the Stormward Way? A sacred pilgrimage? A desperate chase? A race against an ancient prophecy?

I'd love to hear your ideas!

With the World Cup in full swing it seemed like the perfect time to release a brand new fantasy stadium battle map!

City Stadium is the first release in my new **Urban Battle Maps** series, inspired by Blood Bowl and built for tournaments, championships, festivals, or all-out fantasy blood sports.

The map has already sparked something unexpected, we've started creating an entire city and a brand new fantasy sport called Regulated Bloodrush or Reggers for short

Any usual rule suggestions for this new blood sport?

Drop your ideas below! The best ones might make it into future maps and lore.

🗺️ This map is available now on Patreon, along with **1000+ maps**, map variants, and regular new releases.

Hey all!

So I was playing around with animating one of my settlement maps so I could use it as part of a campaign landing page.

The animation is still a work in progress but was curious to know if other GMs would use something like this? All feedback welcome even if its just to say you wouldn't use it :D

You can grab the WIP file for free from HERE if you want to use it yourself

Hey all!

So we have our tenth map release for this month all ready to go and this time we are going for a settlement map: The City of Aestrheim

Enjoy!

\--

Capital of the Principality of Valgarda, the city of Aestrheim sits at the northern end of Lake Aesear, nestled within the roots of the Tempest Spine Mountains.

One of the few large settlements in Valgarda, it serves as hub for the administration of commerce of the realm, unifying the otherwise disparate mountain communities.

Due to its remote location and formidable defenses, the city has never been successfully conquered and has stood as a bulwark against Valgarda's enemies since the days of its founding.

Hi all!

It might be from a few years ago but Black Shark Bay is still one of my favorite maps, I when the main defensive structure is a half submerged ship packed with cannons, you know you are on to a good thing!

hey all!

Here is out latest map, the Howling Gates!

Its part of our official setting the Fallen Kingdom and guards the entrance to the mountain kingdom of Velgard.

I'm a sucker for GoTs so it will be a surprise to no-one that this map is inspired by the Bloody Gates.

What fantasy location do you think would work best as a dungeon map?

Hey all, I present to you another key location from the ancient city of Farnor: The Senate House.

---

The Senate House was once the beating heart of Galdorian politics, 250 senators from across the kingdom would debate and pass laws within the august chamber.

Patronised by the great god Aurelen, Lord of Light, the Senate House and the powerful nobles within, worked in concert with the monarchs of Galdoria throughout the centuries.

While the Senate had lost much of its power by the time of the fall, the grand building in which they met was still a sight to behold.

Adventurers would be wise to leave an offering at the Eagle Shrine before traversing the great staircase, for the road ahead is treacherous and the rocks above even more so….

So who is failing their DEX save during the inevitable landslide?

May I present our latest map: The Cutlass & Keel Shipwrights

> A huge complex in the heart of Giltport harbour, Cutlass & Keel Shipwrights, is capable of building all manner of ships for the good (and bad) folks of the city. > > The largest ship builders in the region, the Cutlass and Keel Company has influence across the archipelago and beyond. Famed for swiftness of their vessels, their ships are greatly sort after by types of captains for whom the ability to move faster than say, a royal warship, might be an advantage.

My money is on the whole place burning down the second the players arrive, what do you think?

Giltport is the largest city in the Sirendian Isles, and major hub for privateers, freebooters and buccaneers. Originally founded by Galdorian merchants as a trading post, the port was seized by pirates two hundred years ago. In the following centuries the city has grown into a thriving pirate republic known as a 'freeport', one of several throughout the western seas.

Governed by the Council of Captains and their elected leader, Commodore Governor Horcis, a tiefling privateer captain of some renown.
