The Provinces of Wei

Welcome to the lands of Fara Wei, or simply "Wei." I've been meaning to draw this for a long time, as it just so happens to be the setting of my own 3+ year old campaign!The provinces of Wei are the setting of an eternal clash between fantasy-Japan, fantasy-China, and the ancient oni living in the mountains. It's a land with a shrouded history and many secrets, where dreams seem at times to overlap with reality, and ageless dragon...

The Provinces of Wei (Parchment)

As is tradition now with my region and world maps, here is a classy parchment-looking version. It's my personal favorite version, in fact. :)

The Underdark Terrain Tokens

Hello everyone, the tokens are finally here to accompany our Cave Room Builder pack! Inside you will find 141 tokens of varying bio-luminescence and underdark-y-ness, from mundane rocks to plane-tearing crystals, your everyday mushroom to nirnroot-er, ethereal ferns.Also inside, I have a full-color version of the demo map you see above. Feel free to mix it into your own caves!There may be a part two to this pack some day, so please let me know if...

The Buildings Pack

Hi everyone! After many hours plugging away at it, the Buildings Pack is finally ready. Inside you will find a collection of floor plans, a bunch of compatible roofs (in red AND grey), and a couple of other pieces to customize them with.This is the completed version of last month's pre-release, and is built upon the pieces of the Haunted Mansion. With these new roofs and stair/door/wall tokens, I've broken the mansion up into these modest...

Stepping Into November

October is over and the Halloween decorations are slowly coming down! Still, if you want to celebrate with a spooky one-shot, last month's Haunted Estate map set make for a great adventure:Now that it's November and we leave the spooky theme behind I want to catch up on a few promises I've made. I'll keep it vague for now, but expect a region map or two, a pack to enhance those buildings I pre-released early in October, and some b...

The Haunted Garden

Boo! Did I surprise you with another map so soon? So that you can have the whole estate before Halloween (and because I'm going away tomorrow) I'm here with the final piece of our spooky October project...This is the Haunted Garden, which attaches seamlessly to the bottom edge of the Haunted Cellar. As you can see, it features a tall wall (with convenient tree overhang), a fetid water feature, and a statue garden (which definitely aren&#3...

The Haunted Cellar

What lies beneath a haunted mansion? Why, a haunted wine cellar of course! This map serves as both an atmospheric base for last week's mansion and as a battle map for its spooky basement.The entrances to the cellar are outside and under the two interior staircases, and you will find that the first floor snaps neatly over the cut-away space on this map.I went all in with the Halloween color scheme on this one, so it's perfect for a last-mi...

The Haunted Mansion (Furnished)

As promised, with the release of the Mansion Tokens, I have put together this furnished Haunted Mansion, and with a spooky color palette to boot!I spent half a day cluttering up the place, and am happy with the result! As you can see, this abandoned home features a dining room, library, and a drawing room on its first floor. On its second, bedrooms, a study, and a trophy room.There's certainly a lot of ammunition for a poltergeist, or hidey-f...

The Mansion Furniture Tokens

Wow, are these token packs labor intensive! I'm glad that all the busywork is going to such enthusiastic people though, and I can't wait to see what you all put together with these.Stay tuned, for our haunted mansion project is still growing!Thanks to you, these tokens are released under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license.

The Haunted Mansion

The first piece to our spooky October project, the unfurnished mansion!This two storey mansion is based on an encounter my brother Troy created, which was in turn based on the 1890 residence of Henry R. Towne ESQ.As you can see, it is quite unfurnished. I wanted to break this project down into modular pieces (see the Buildings Pack prerelease) so that it would be good for more than one session. Over the next days and weeks you will see the furnit...

Buildings Pack (Prerelease)

I saw an opportunity when I started the Haunted Mansion to break it up into a bunch of useful pieces. Originally, my plan was to form a space-warping door-connected-to-random-door encounter but, as you can see, these can quite easily pass as standalone smaller buildings too!I call this a prerelease because I want to draw up roofs for each of these "standalone buildings" so that they match the rest of our set piece buildings, but that will...

The Castle Town (Parchment)

As thelibraryghost pointed out, it's something of a tradition to make parchment versions of town maps. Well, I agree!

I'm In The Mood For Spooky

My September has been filled to bursting, how about you? Talk about a photo finish.(Please just pretend with me that I'm posting this on time, and that the Castle Town came out days ago).It's October now though, and that's the perfect excuse to visit some old cliches on the fantasy world. I'm thinking graveyards, abandoned churches, and secret crypts...What would you suggest? I'd like to do an old fashion 2-Minute map set, so ...

Castle Town

EDIT : Here it is, the finished Castle Town! Though much delayed, I'm glad I took the time to polish this new town map, and I'm excited to share it with you today.This is a small castle town on the coast, in a defensible location on a well-trafficked sea route. The township is basically there to support the castle and house its samurai.I'd love to hear your names and lore ideas in the comments s̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ �...

The Luminescent Cave

A glowing tunnel suitable for the Underdark or flavorful mountain pass.This map was an experiment in a more whimsical line style, which I used in an effort to give the tunnel the look of a rounded floor. It doesn't look so fabulous on its side (as seen above) but works great in portrait!What do you all think? Is it too much art and not enough battle map? Would you prefer a strict top-down view, or do you enjoy this sort of flair? I want to he...

The Luminescent Cave (Mundane)

Also known as the non-luminescent luminescent cave, but that was too much of a mouthful.Perhaps the encounter starts out like this but, upon brushing by one of the cave-ferns, the whole tunnel lights up as a mycanoid ambush is sprung?

The Cobblestone Highway

Hello again, at long last! My vacation is over and I have a few maps to share before the month is up, beginning with this slightly-boring-but-endlessly-useful highway.This map is ready to go as-is, but I recommend seasoning it with some free Forest Tokens, or one of our set piece buildings. I like to think of this as a base map with all sorts of potential!Watch this space, as I have two more maps coming this month!Thanks to you, this map is relea...

The Cobblestone Highway (Forested)

A demonstration of the Cobblestone Highway sprinkled with the Roadside Forest Tokens. I'll bet that tree was toppled on purpose, and those bushes aren't empty!

Sometimes I Still Think It's 2017

It's September already, can you believe it? Well, I am satisfied with what I accomplished in August, and very excited for the opportunities that have materialized.Though I had some plans going into last month that I never got to, I am not at all unhappy with the token-centric direction the it took, and our collaboration with Forgotten Adventures was icing on the cake.In September I'll be aiming for a 50/50 map/token split, so I can get th...

27 New Tokens & Something Exciting

I've been working on this token editor since shortly after the Hero Tokens pack, and I couldn't resist making another token pack in order to launch it.I decided to start with a collection of orcs, goblins, and wolves.You can access it here: https://2minutetabletop.com/customtoken/...and more!It's all fairly self-explanatory, but the basic functionality is as follows: Use the color select buttons and the color picker to custom-paint yo...

The Forgotten Adventures Portal Collab

Over the last few weeks I have been working with Peter "Stryxin" Peko from Forgotten Adventures to create this fun portal-centric battle map duo!It takes one powerful portal to cross the bridge between two art styles, so I hope your player characters tread carefully! On one side is Peter's sandy beach, and on the other my snowy field.Nobody can remember the purpose for which this volatile gateway was constructed, but scholars believe ...

Hero Tokens

Fun experiment, or the start of a new series? I would love to hear your opinion.Till now I have only drawn tokens of furniture, trees, and other objects, but many people have requested hero tokens. So, this is my take on some hand-drawn heroes!It is not a comprehensive collection, rather it is an experimentation in posing and perspective, with only a little thought paid to representing the races and classes. My goal was also to keep them vague en...

Happy August!

This month we made three maps, all of which I was proud to share. I hope to keep up the momentum this August, so buckle up tight!Plans may change, but I want to revisit making 3D papercraft buildings, I'd also like to release a cave token set, and I'd like to try my hand at a CHARACTER token set. It should be a great deal of fun!Please leave your building and token suggestions below. I always scan through your comments when I'm fillin...

The Cave Room Builder

A seamlessly tiling floor texture and 26 wall, ledge, and rubble pieces; everything you need to create your own hand-drawn cave!I also have a cave-themed tokens pack cooking, so you will soon be able to fill in your caves with stalagmites, mushrooms, and other clutter. In the meantime, I recommend the Dungeon Trap Tokens. And, of course, the Cave Tunnels are also compatible.This pack also includes a Cave-Dungeon adaptor, so you can now go nuts wi...

The Typical Tavern

It's been years since I drew a tavern, a staple that you can never have enough of. So, I wanted to draw a "baseline" tavern, a Typical Tavern.ChangelogApril 18th, 2025 - Assets extracted from the map and are now included in the original .zip, Dungeondraft pack also created and included.With your standard-affair tavern out the way, I'd like to branch out to more exciting taverns every now and then. Ramshackle taverns, dwarven (dug)...

Mercantile Tokens

With these, you can furnish a store, caravan, or even an entire marketplace!Tokens take a lot of work to make (especially so many) but I had a lot of fun working on these! I never expected to be drawing pumpkins, battleaxes, and wagons all in the same day.You can use these to embellish other maps, or even create one from scratch using the tiling grass as a base. I'd love to see what you create, so please share them in the Community tab!Thank ...

Let's Draw a Forest Encounter QUICK

I spent all of yesterday putting together this video and, well, I just don't like it! I'm not going to publicly release it on YouTube, but I thought that some of you may enjoy it anyway.It contains my thought process when I draw a QUICK battle map during game time at my table. It covers the drawing technique as well as the mental check list I use to make a tactically interesting battlefield.It's not a terrible video, but it does suffe...

It's July!

This June we revived the YouTube channel, kicked off the Cavern Tileset, and made perhaps our most useful asset pack yet. Even the website got a face lift!What are my plans for July? Well, I want to firmly embed YouTube video production into my schedule - starting this week - so please let me know what subjects you would like to see. I also want to flesh out the aforementioned Cavern Tileset with a room builder akin to June's dungeon one.I fi...

The Dungeon Room Builder

It's taken a great deal of effort to make this work, but the Dungeon Room Builder is finally ready for action!Inside the ZIP you will find sixty dungeon room components, plus the demo map above, which was made exclusively with said pieces.Of course, you can also use our dungeon tiles to compliment your custom rooms, the passageways to link them, and the furniture tokens to add some happy clutter.I truly cannot wait to see what you cook up, so...
