The Lakeside Camp
A stream bubbles gently into a wide lake, home to an orchestra of frogs and a galaxy of fireflies. What harm could find you in a place as peaceful as this?When it came time to draw map #3 this month I found that my printer had suddenly given up the ghost, depriving me of a printed grid or a digital draft of any kind. When I'm reduced to a blank sheet of paper like that I like to fall back on natural scenes, where grids don't matter and th...

In all, there are 92 vibrant new assets and 267 more color variations in the Silver Rewards pack. Most may glow with festive colors, but there are also many general-purpose assets such as cannons, cages, haybales and merchant tents! I think ...
The Circus Tent
A kaleidoscope of banners wave gleefully in the wind, beckoning to people far and wide to come see what's inside the great tent."The circus" is one of those subjects that have been on my to-do list for years and years now, and still gets a fresh request about once a month. Well, seeing as The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is right around the corner and the Heckna "carnival horror campaign setting" Kickstarter was recently funded,...

How To Play with an Isometric Grid
Ever wondered how to run an isometric encounter on your virtual tabletop and retain all of the grid functionality? I hope to break it down for you in our new 3-step guide.→ Read it here!I find it strangely satisfying to write how-to guides, so this was a nice side project for me. I hope that it's also useful to you or someone you know! I'm not sure if you could run a campaign purely in isometric yet, but it's certainly a flashy thin...
Your 2-Minute August Update
G'day, and welcome to a new month! July has come and gone in a blinding flash and, even if I feel like I've lost a month, at least we have some art to show for it!I had a lot of fun with this month's maps. First came my beloved crab, born of the strange whims of inspiration. Next, a seaside arena for him to dwell and do battle. After that, a "remaster" of a very old map to put my new skills to the challenge. Finally, a whole h...

Timber Brook
You follow the narrow trail along the edge of a lively stream. A short distance ahead there is a crossroads, and a clearly-sabotaged footbridge. Suddenly, a rustle. A number of wild-eyed men appear out of the long grass, grinning like foxes and blades glinting... Has this happened before?This battle map is my large-scale (44x32") remaster of the very first map I ever released on 2-Minute Tabletop way back in 2015, the Autumn Stream. For me, t...
Crab Rock
THOOM! The ocean swell crashes into the sea-caves beneath your feet and jets through the blowholes before you, drenching you in a briny shower and dressing you instantaneously in an outfit of seaweed.Crab Rock began as a relatively simple coastal battle field for our Colossal Crab, but along the way we added small but significant elements inspired by the coastline natural to my corner of Australia.Chief among these elements are the blowholes: oce...
The Colossal Crab
An ageless crab has awoken from its long slumber, and now seems hell-bent on dismantling every ship and vessel in sight. Can it be stopped, or will your party also end up in pieces?This cranky crustacean was born out of some homebrew playtesting I ran with my friends a few weeks ago – an encounter made difficult by an impervious shell and a very strong, very large claw. That encounter slowly developed into a draft, line art, then the full range...

Your 2-Minute July Update
Hello there! Believe it or not, here we are at the mid-point of the year already. :0The focus of this June was an experiment in large scale maps that connect with four other pre-existing maps; one on each side. It was a great success, in my humble opinion! These combinations make for a lot of play area altogether, especially the enormous stretch of Abandoned Tunnels:You can see the other previews in each of the posts below. It was a strange proje...

The Abandoned Tunnels
Branching exploratory tunnels breach the cavernous space of an underground lake, beyond which the roar of white water can be heard.This natural dungeon was my recent experiment in large scale cave maps. I think it was largely successful, though I do already have some new ideas for the next one!Within we have a large subterranean pool, still and deep and threatening. Beyond that, abandoned mining tunnels criss-crossed by natural ones. Mushrooms an...
The Town Center
A vibrant town center where the town's main roads meet, featuring an event stage, tall rooftops, and dark alleys.I've been meaning to draw a map of this sort for a long while now! A sizeable city scene, that is. This one should fit the bill, and has plenty of room to maneuver both in the streets below and the rooftops above.The color scheme is a vibrant, sun-baked one suitable for an optimistic, thriving community. The yellow tents and bu...
The Fairy Glade
A forest glade brimming with plant life that has just about claimed the entirety of an old cobblestone road.This battle map is inspired by my childhood memories of The Legend of Zelda and Rayman 2, both of which feature magical woods and mystical forest spirits. Those games have shaped the way that I imagine old forests, and I think I'll forever be trying to capture that magic in my maps!There is some sign of civilization on this map in the f...

The Rock Pools Battle Map
The waves have eroded this rocky coast to create a small group of rock pools and a flat stone overlooking them. It's a popular spot for meditation, and for giant crab attacks.This map is inspired by my own Australian backyard and some of the spots I like to visit in the summer. I'm sure that scrambling around on these rocks as a kid has played a significant role in forming my love of role-playing and adventure, and I still get out to do i...
