The Flying Rook - Patrons' Edition
The Flying Rook is the sort of place wizards build to show off. Anyone with the power to keep this architectural Frankenstein standing is no joke, but-- just in case anyone wasn't fully convinced-- they made it fly as well.I didn't have any particular purpose in mind when I added the windmil...
The 37th Cartographic Congress Final Runoff
Two candidates remain. Will it be the light or the darkness?Senator Anders proposes the Nuur al-Dini temple, devoted to a sun goddess. It will be similar in style to a grand mosque, with an ablution fountain, courtyard, hospital, congregation hall and a minaret to greet the rising sun.Senator Fraz-U...
The Floating Tower (Work-in-Progress)
That's one 13-story tower, ready to be colored. How do you like it so far?
The 37th Cartographic Congress Runoff Vote
From the original ten candidates, these four have made it to the runoff:Senator Anders proposes the Nuur al-Dini temple, devoted to a sun goddess. It will be similar in style to a grand mosque, with an ablution fountain, courtyard, hospital, congregation hall and a minaret to greet the rising sun.Se...
The 37th Cartographic Congress Vote
After the first message calling for proposals this month, I only got one response, but after the second, I got another nine. Some people told me they saw the message in their Patreon inbox, but didn't get the usual email notification about it, which may have been the issue. In any case, everyone...
The Floating Tower (Work-In-Progress)
Here's a sketch of the 13-story tower I've been working on. I wasn't originally planning to draw something completely insane here, but then I came up with this design and now I am. Anyway, what do you think?Also, just a heads-up: this map and the next map are both going to have windmills...
Delaro's Manse II: The Grassy Knoll
This is that "not-in-a-cave" version of the map I promised. Not too much else to say about it, really.Well, I'd better get to work on that floating wizards' tower. Hopefully I'll be able to get started on Fort Bourtange by the beginning of the month, but we'll see.

Delaro's Manse
Hey look, I drew a reasonable-sized map! 34x55! I knew I could do it! Don't get used to it, though, the next two maps I'm drawing are a 13-floor tower and this.Delaro's Manse is a part of the Black Loch, marked on the map as "Secluded Manse." Delaro Montalos is one of the few hum...

I will send you instantaneous telegrams.
While I'm not generally a big fan of social media, I am a big fan of getting more feedback on my work, so I recently made an Instagram account.I probably would've done this sooner, but I don't actually own a smartphone. Yes, I know, I am the world's youngest 90-year-old man. Still, i...
Gamblers' Key - A Pirate Fortress and Casino
Gambler's Key is a pirate lord's fortress with a casino in the front and a loading bay for pirates to drop off their plundered cargo in the rear. It's sort of the opposite of a mullet: a party in the front, business in the back. Well, I guess it depends which side you consider the front,...

Gamblers' Key is almost done.
This is the finished first level. I've been giving this map some extra love, but the rest is almost done too. I've gotta finish up a few more details, draw a sideview, and write the DM notes, but I should have it all done in about two days. Also, I hope you like that water, because that is p...
Gamblers' Key (Work-in-Progress)
These are the lower two levels of the pirate fortress/gambling hall I'm working on. All this is underground. There's a third level above this showing the top of the island and the buildings above ground, but I ran out of room on my desk.On the bottom floor, you've got storage, sleeping q...
A Message for Streamers. Also, I'm drawing this.
If you stream your game, YOU HEREBY HAVE MY PERMISSION to use my maps in your streams. I'd have said this earlier, but I wasn't aware until recently that a lot of people think it's illegal or unethical to do so without permission. In any case, I want to make sure any streamers out there ...
The 36th Cartographic Congress Runoff
Out of eight proposals, we had two clear leaders. Today, those two meet in the town square at high noon. Time to settle this, once and for all.Senator Parker proposes a floating, thirteen-level tower dedicated to magical experiments and research with a dock for airships.Senator Anders proposes a a v...
Tokens and an Updated Black Loch Map
All this stuff is free for everyone. You can download it from the attachments at the bottom or from Google Drive here.So, these are the tokens I drew. I'd say you can figure out what most of these critters are, although you may have some questions about the half-orc with a mustache and a combove...
The 36th Cartographic Congress Vote
I've got some drawing to do, so let's get right to the proposals:Senator Fraz-Urb'luu proposes a bubblegum dragon's lair.Senator Raffaele proposes an illithid Nautiloid spelljammer.Senator Dezzicus proposes the Taj Mahal.Senator BasketMC proposes a driders' lair in a web-filled c...
The Halls of the Awakened - Unfurnished
Here's the unfurnished version I promised. Instead of talking about it, I'd like to share something completely useless with you. I was looking through the 5th Ed. Monster Manual today and I noticed that there were a TON of entries starting with D. The D's start on page 46 and end on 122....

The Halls of the Awakened
The Halls of the Awakened is a cultists' lair hidden deep in the Black Loch. If you're interested in my version of the lore, I've written a giant wall of text about it in the DM notes here. I'll have an unfurnished version of the map for you tomorrow.A bad guy lair with an entrance i...

The Lore of The Architects of the Awakening
The Architects of the Awakening are a duergar cult who were the villains of my previous campaign. They're also the subject of the next Black Loch map and they have a fairly complex story. My group broke up before I got the chance to tell it all, so I'm going to write it out here in case any ...
The Tigers' Nest Monastery
Some monasteries make wine, while other monasteries make bread. This monastery makes bareknuckle kung-fu killing machines. Or, as they're known in D&D, monks.As a DM, having a monk in the party can be a little difficult. Not because there's anything wrong with the class, but because coming u...

The Torrents - Everyone's Edition
I'm giving out all the patron content for this map to everyone. You can download it from my Google Drive here. I've also put it in the public Foundry module (manifest URL).The Torrents are one of the ways to reach the Black Loch from the surface, starting as an above-ground river and turning...
The Benthic Academy: An Undersea Ruin
NOTE: There are two versions of this map: one with air pockets in a few rooms and one without.When I draw a ruin, I like to trash the place. I don't want it to just be a building with holes in the walls, I want it to look like a hotel room the Rolling Stones spent the night in in 1976.In this pa...

The 35th Cartographic Congress Vote
Senators, we have five proposals for this month's vote. There are options available involving space, pirates or space pirates. There are also two places that would make nice venues for a wedding, one of which will explicitly be a venue for a wedding. Well, I'm going to finish inking the Bent...
