DungeonMorphs – Sewers Set 7

One of the final stretch goals of the DungeonMorphs IV Kickstarter was to include an alternate version of the DungeonMorph cards (2.5″ x 2.5″ cards of the geomorphs) in the style of one of the artists involved in the design. That artist was ME! So I spent a month and change redrawing all the ...

Amnuron’s Hall

Down a flight of circular stairs around a massive central pillar is Amnuron’s Hall – a small complex built up around the circular chamber the stairs descend into and a pillared hall to the south of east of it. Once home to the potent wizard of the same name, the hall is poorly maintained and ...

Seahorse Island

It’s a wee little set of islands that appears on older navigational charts as “the Lesser Chesten Islands” but generally known by the residents and modern charts as “Seahorse Island”. There really isn’t much geography worth speaking of, and if these islands were at sea instead of in t...

Tiered Pools Cave

This map came about during one of my Twitch livestreams when a viewer asked how I would handle a cave with tiered pools, where water carrying lots of sediment and minerals has slowly worked its way down a cave making tiered pools along the way. So, unlike most of my maps, this piece focuses almos...

An Alien Tower

It sprouted up in the forest over a few days. At first it looked like a weird mushroom, but now it stands over 300 feet tall, looking out over the canopy with strange holes around the top from whence the denizens fly out, bringing their strange alien terror to the lands about it.

And it isn...

Eleint Passages – The Ruined Fane

This is the final of four interconnected maps of the Eleint Passages and associated structures.

The Ruined Fane sits beneath the northern passages of the Eleint Passages. It is concealed by a secret door that leads to the upper chamber of the fane and which immediately gives a clue...

Eleint Passages (The Tower)

This is the third of four interconnected maps of the Eleint Passages and associated structures.

In the connecting cave between the North and South Eleint passages is a set of stairs leading up to the dungeons beneath a tower that sits on the rocky promontory above the caves. These ...

The Eleint Passages (South)

This is the second of four interconnected maps of the Eleint Passages and associated structures.

The southern portion of the Eleint Passages is more twisted and convoluted than the northern areas and includes significantly more areas that have been cut from the stone and then worke...

The Eleint Passages - North

This is the first of four interconnected maps of the Eleint Passages and associated structures.

The northern portions of the caves are home to a foul tainted wyrm with a breath weapon of foul poisonous gasses – it makes its lair in the chamber at 9 o’clock to the large central chamber b...

The Uktar Atoll

The Uktar Atoll sits about two days travel by boat from the Eastern Isles of the Dead. These low islands are set with a few hills, a rocky plateau, and a lot of jungles. They’ve been used as a secret pirate stronghold, have been home to a number of strange and esoteric cults, and have a small p...

The Dragon Den

“This illrigger’s base looks like a giant stone dragon!”

“So what? It just reinforces that we’re in the right place to SMITE EVIL!”

The Dragon Den looks exactly as described above – a massive stone dragon with horns and...

Beneath the Manor of the Doomed

Beneath the old Chienard Manor can be found both basements (and a once-extensive wine cellar) and the family crypts. Recently these have been expanded upon by what the Chienards can only suspect are their own ancestors turned upon them for a lack of proper worship and respect.

The main base...

Manor of the Doomed

The old Chienard manor sits on the hills southeast of the fortified town of Smallharbour where it is slowly collapsing while the owners hide in the parts of the structure that are still mostly sturdy. The carriage house is abandoned and part of the floor has collapsed into tunnels beneath it. The...

Chambers of the Copper Skulls

This multi-level dungeon is hidden deep in the Count’s Woods, where only hunting parties looking for the mighty knife-boars travel. The local orcs occasionally catch and train knife-boars for some of the more frightening goblin boar-riders have their own tales about this place and the heavy sol...

Ruins of the Hill Fort

These ruins are old enough that no one even has a name for them anymore. On several very old maps there are markings that translate to “fort” or “fortification” at this location, but nothing more. If it were any further south it would be completely overrun with trees and growth by now, bu...

Temple Cave of the Ruinous Ministers

Among the gods and demons worshipped in ancient Zorisz were the many “Ministers”, demons that were seen as the infernal “bureaucracy” that handled all things supernatural and often governed the actions of those drawn under their spell. This cave temple in the hills in the south of what is...

Vund Home

The small stone tower topped with crenellated battlements sets Vund Home apart from most of the buildings in the neighbourhood. While stonework isn’t that unusual, actual fortifications stand out a bit. The sorcerer Heltos Vund owns the property and his mysterious but very knowledgeable wife, t...

Backstage Pass - November 2022
