Your 2-Minute December Update
🕑 Added 2023-12-01 03:14:15 +0000 UTCHello! It's a frosty December morning over here, and there's snow now on the far-off mountaintops. Winter has come and, apart from numb fingers, it's my favorite season for drawing.
Last month we put together some BIG map packs. The Cove and Temple are each in our "large scale" 44x32 category, and the Jail's premium pack boasts a ludicrous amount of building block assets. As icing on the cake, we've also made 146 new tokens!
- The Driftwood Cove by Ross McConnell
A protected bay collects driftwood carried on the ebbing tide. - The Buried Temple by Connor Johnston
A large temple, forgotten and crumbling, deep underground. - The Isometric Jail by Rootyful
An evocative isometric dungeon with five iron-barred cells. - New Tokens by Austin and David
Conveniently packaged, pre-colored, ready-to-play versions of the tokens we created this month.
Meanwhile, Garm has been building out his Scalecrown setting, Troy has a new adventure fleshed out, and we've got a beautiful new community map to share.
- The Kingdom of Scalecrown, Part 1 – The Capital by Garmbreak1
The people of Scalecrown ally with a dragon in an attempt to prevent further attacks, but not everyone is happy with their new scaly ruler. - Octavius’ Mansion by Mikhail Kamenev
It’s time for another awesome community spotlight! This time we feature Mikhail’s magnificent mansion of macabre. Huge 40×35 maps included. - The Kingdom of Scalecrown, Part 2 – The Outlying Areas by Garmbreak1
In part 2 of the Scalecrown saga, Garm delves into society beyond the city gates. Uncover the hidden treasures of the outlying realms! - Churning, Squirming Vermin – Sewer Rat Encounter for D&D 5e by Troy
From within the city’s forgotten underbelly, a festering darkness lurks… its venomous plot fueled by an army of plague-infected vermin!
We hope there's something in that long list that inspires you! We certainly had a ball making it.
During Black Friday I picked up a microphone and, starting this month, I plan on making more videos for YouTube and elsewhere. I'm going to start with "here's our new map and why you might want to use it" videos, but what else would you like to see beyond that? I'd love to hear your requests. I may need some more equipment for streaming, though...
Beyond that, I hope to make another push this month/season to improve upon (or at least explore) my art skills. It may not be reflected immediately in this month's map, but it'll pay off in the long run! I obviously get a lot of practice every month, but I want to more consciously aim my practice at what makes our maps unique and how those areas might be improved. I'll see what I have to report this time next month. :)
From myself and the team, thank you for your support! We hope you have a lovely December and, if you'd like to see what we're working on, come find us in the #wip-updates channel on Discord.
Have a good one,
– Ross
