Monthly Map Poll: October 2019 Maps
Here's a list of map concepts, which of these you would like to see released next?

Under the city there is a vast and complex network of catacombs thousands of years old. Mostly these old tunnels are protected and preserved for the future generations as historical monuments, but with the right contacts and keys, the catacombs can be used to move around the city fast and unnotic...

Here's a video of the Dragon Lair map's coloring process. This was actually supposed to be a video with me explaining every step in detail, but I messed up something with the settings.
