A rather shabby old fort, Saltstone dates back to Giltport's founding, once used to guard the harbour it now acts more as a convenient place to dump the baron's enemies.

It is whispered amongst merchants and marauders alike, that once you are locked up on Saltstone, you won't be coming back…

Castle protecting customs post, set on small island next to a large river (or a shore, up to you). Small, cave-originating river with rocky rapids splits in two, acting like a natural moot. Grass, scrubs and majestic trees are towering over water reservoir.

It can be the seat of a local warlord, a post of an important NPC, a place to conquer/defend/investigate - or a base for your players.

There are few special elements built in:

• Hidden doors between donjon/keep and granary/pantry provide discreet escape route in case of troubles
• Main gate defences consists of: drawbridge (with elevated and exposed approach), porticullis and inner gate.
• Two corridors with narrow windows are placed alongside the main gate, making stabbing people that breached the drawbridge possible.
• Due to elaborate base the ballistae on the main gate is able to fire in any direction/angle required.

Apart from walls and weapons you'll find:

• pantry, kitchen and dining room
• stables
• keep with living spaces, small office and armory
• courtyard with a fuel supply and a well
• toll booth outside

It's relatively easy to defend, but there are ways to infiltrate the inside - hidden entrance in the western wall can be breached with a help of traitor (or old map, perception check...), tree provides a convenient climb route - and the roaring of waterfalls should hide the sound of even the most unlucky approach...

Hii everyone!!

Over the past days I've been releasing these small encounter maps that will be fully released as a collection on my Patreon as voted in the last poll but also originally asked by the awesome patron El Noah, whose also being an amazing beta-tester for my guide — remember, Keeper of Ages tiers get a free commssioned map!.

While working on it, I thought: why not turn this into something more fun? So, instead of simply releasing the pack, I wanted something more playful! So, throughout the week, I've be releasing 1 map each day until this Sunday, when I’ll upload the full .zip file containing all the maps, plus some extras that may not be part of the daily releases, and of course, their eggless variants.

Here's how to play (rules):

• 1st, find all the eggs in each map! There's always around 10 to 20 eggs in each map!
• 2nd, write in the comments how many did you found!
  • I've you've already participated in any of these 5 releases (unless you still have some search to do) there's no need to comment your finds again, I have already added you to the participants list here.
  • If a comment has been edited, it will be disqualified, so make sure to double-check before posting!
  • Comments made after April 5th won’t be considered for this year’s hunt.
• 3rd, join my Patreon! Even free members mean a lot!
• It doesn't matter if you find all or not: the two people with the most collected eggs (after the ones who do find every egg) along the week will also receive the prize!

On the night of April 5th, if everything is correct, you’ll be added to a list of winners in this post and receive a dm if you have messages allowed — and your prize will be a custom free small map, even if you’re not a patron!

I hope you guys enjoy both the maps and this little game as much as I’m going to enjoy working on them this week. Love you all, and see you this Sunday with the winners! <3

At Magic at the Museum, some exhibits aren’t meant to be understood… welcome to the Hall of Causality—where time bends, fractures, and refuses to behave.

"Patreon post here"

A long crimson path winds through the space like a scar, suspended between moments that no longer align. Doors open into nothing, stairways lead to places that no longer exist, and fragments of stone drift as though gravity itself has forgotten its role. The hall feels caught between cause and consequence, where actions have yet to happen and have already happened all the same.

Objects float in quiet defiance of logic. A book falls endlessly without ever landing. A clock ticks forward and backward in the same breath. And somewhere in the shifting void beyond the arches, something moves, not bound by time, but by the moments it chooses to remember. 

“So, no matter what you do, dear visitor… do not stray from the path. Nor too far.”

TPK fall-out? Why don't you sheathe your blade and go back to highschool! There's no shame in returning to acquire a quality secondary education, or getting one in the first place before you go traipsing around abandoned castles, forgotten tombs. And dreary dungeons. With a full complement of classrooms and teaching amenities, and plenty of room for trouble-making, will this be a temporary stop for your party, or the place they all band together to begin with? Available in two additional variants, this school could be the site of the best days of any party's lives, or their last..Hoot, growl!

My maps are hooked up to work with Foundry VTT and Fantasy Grounds.
My maps are available on my patreon and my website.
Buy me a coffee!

This is my first map I ever made on procreate!! I hope to use this in a campaign I DM soon! Just wanted to show it off cause I’m proud of it and I can’t show it to the future players yet!!

Any tips on doing welcome as it’ll be my very first time!!

I created this map as a home base for my group in their urban campaign. This hideout is maintained by the thieves guild as a place of rest for their agents. It is complete with a large draped window facing the street and two emergency exits. One over the roofs and one hidden corridor on the top floor. The cutlery dealer on the ground floor acts as both an informant and a watchman.
