Brazenthrone - The Old Quarter - Ground Level

These are the ruins of Brazenthrone's Old Quarter. Known in its time as the "Temple Quarter," it was once the heart of the city, much as the Great Hall is today. The Quarter's downfall was brought about by a force more powerful than any other: geology. A tremendous earthquake, brough...

Brazenthrone - The Old Quarter - Ground Level - Patrons' Edition

My players are terrible at tanking, so I made this landing page to help them with a little educational mockery.

Tanking-- you know, the thing where the person with the full plate and the battleaxe stands in front of the person with the walking stick and the bathrobe. My players are not completely on board with this concept.Where do I start? How about the wizard? She LOVES opening doors. And if you suggest tha...

Brazenthrone - Updated Overview Map

Sorry this is a little late, I had something come up last night before I could get it done. Anyway, here it is! I reserve the right to change 19 and 27 if I come up with a better idea for them, but I'll update the map again if I do.The print and VTT versions are below. The VTT versions aren'...

Brazenthrone - The Eastern Halls

These halls are the "suburbia" of Brazenthrone, which makes them a little hard to say much about. They're where normal dwarves live. They're neither the wealthiest commoner district nor the poorest. The wealthiest is the Promontories, of course. The poorest will be the Hollows, to th...

Brazenthrone - The Eastern Halls - Ground Level

These are the residential chambers on the lower-right side of this map surrounding 17, which is the fountain in the center. I've got all three levels of this drawn already, so the rest should be up in a day or two. I just need to color them. I'm also going to update the map in the link to in...

The High Temple of Mystra

This is the main temple of Mystra, the goddess of magic in the Forgotten Realms. In addition to its religious functions, the temple also houses a massive storehouse of magic in the caverns below. I only included the first level in the map, but there's a stairway on the left side of the caverns t...

More tokens from my game. The party is in Chult, which means we are go for dinosaur cavalry.

These tokens are huge spoilers for my game, but I've banned my players from my site and my patreon so I can give them to you.The party is deep in the jungles of Chult, having just found their way to the Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan. If you're running that, this is nearly all the tokens you nee...

The Great Hall of Brazenthrone in Minecraft

Someone made the Great Hall of Brazenthrone in Minecraft and it is incredible. A reader named Fonta sent me these pictures and I wanted to share them with everyone. The first picture is from the northeast corner of the Promontories, which is the upper right corner of this map. The second picture is ...

Brazenthrone - The Hall of Iron - Everyone's Edition

The Hall of Iron is a residential district of Brazenthrone. Admittedly, having nothing but residences, it's not the most exciting part of the city. But a city needs homes and not everyone can live in some kind of dwarven Winchester Mystery House (here, let me save some of you the time).This is o...

Brazenthrone - The Bloody Hall - Everyone's Edition

The Bloody Hall is a residential district of Brazenthrone, located just south of the Common Quarter. It's unique on account of all the residences here being in a single, large building formerly known as "Amber Manor." There are more details in the DM notes if you're interested.Next u...

Brazenthrone - The Old Mines - Everyone's Edition

Last month, I was making all the patron content for my new maps available to everyone (for reasons explained in this post). I'm going to continue doing so until at least May 18th, which is the date for the end of the lockdown in Ireland (where I live). I hope these maps have been helpful to thos...

Another odd selection of tokens, including: normal people, world map markers and the thing that used to be called a merrow.

IF YOU ARE ONE OF MY PLAYERS, GO AWAY. DM TALK IS HAPPENING.Ahem. So, here's the latest bunch of tokens I made for my game. The arrows and X's are for the world map to indicate where the party is or where they're going. I included a few variants for those of you who might have a message ...

Brazenthrone - Stacked VTT Maps

By request, these are stacked multi-floor VTT maps for Brazenthrone similar to the ones I made for Mont-St-Michel. These are for the Great Hall, Anvil Quarter, Noble Quarter and Common Quarter, which are the chambers I think are big enough to need them.The Great Hall doesn't include the Promonto...

Brazenthrone - The Gnomestown District - Everyone's Edition

Brazenthrone returns! This is the first of a number of Brazenthrone maps I'll be drawing in a row. Gnomestown is pretty much what it says on the label: a small corner of the city where a lot of the gnomish residents live. Most of these would be deep gnomes, with whom the dwarves of Brazenthrone ...

The Library of Gravenhollow - Everyone's Edition

Gravenhollow is an unmapped location in the 5E D&D module Out of the Abyss. It's a place where space and time work differently and a person can travel from one place to another just by thinking about where they want to be.Since there are quite a few peculiarities of Gravenhollow that make this m...

A Special Vote

The High Temple of Mystra is the winner of the 19th Cartographic Congress! Thanks to everyone for breaking the tie. There have only ever been two ties in the CC's final vote and I just realized that the Floating Fortress Warship has been one of the finalists in both (17th and 19th). This suggest...

The Cartographic Congress needs a tie broken.

The Cartographic Congress runoff vote has ended in a tie. This has only happened once before and I'm doing the same thing as last time: opening the vote to all patrons. The poll is here. Please do your duty to democracy and vote.

My first VTT session went great! Also, here's the tokens I made for my next session.

My first time running my game on Roll20 was Saturday and it honestly couldn't have gone better. The only problem we ran into was that some people couldn't see some of the tokens on the map, but I managed to fix that by copying the tokens, deleting them and pasting them back in. No big deal.A...

BOATS!

So, I don't know if ship tokens are actually a thing anyone uses or wants, but I hope they are because I made a bunch of them. If they're not, well, they were only an hour's work, so no big deal.Originally, I'd planned to make tokens out of the ships from the Vlyn'darastyl map, b...

The Drow City of Vlyn'darastyl - Everyone's Edition

This was a slightly unusual map for me. When I say I'm drawing a "city map," it usually means something like Brazenthrone or Finbarr's Marsh. Drawing an exterior-only city had me a little worried, since the last one I did was this piece of white-hot garbage. God, that's embarrass...

The 19th Cartographic Congress Vote FINAL DEATHMATCH

The two finalists will now enter the cage. Who will leave victorious?Senator Parker proposes a man-of-war, a massive floating fortress of a ship built to be the flagship of a fleet.Senator Carl proposes the High Temple of Mystra, a temple, library and storehouse of magic.This poll will be open until...

Thanks to everyone for the advice! Here are some more tokens I made for my game.

First of all, if you're one of my players, go away. Stop reading.Okay, so I've got most of the next map done, but I've been making these tokens for my game on the side and-- NIAMH, STOP READING-- I thought I'd share. We've got two different flavors of goblin, an orc, a hobgoblin ...

VTT DMs: I need your advice. I bring you this humble offering of character tokens in return.

For most people, D&D time is chill time and I don't want to let The Stressful Topic You Can't Get Away From intrude on that. So I'll just leave it at this: my game needs to go online. And that means I need to learn to DM on Roll20. The question I have is: Where do I start?There's a l...

Thorren's Cross: A Mountain Outpost - Everyone's Edition

So, look, a lot of people are stuck indoors for a while and getting bored out of their minds. There's not much I can do about that, but what little I can do, I want to. So I'm giving away all the patron content for this map for free and I'm doing the same for every map I make next month ...

Predjama Castle - A Slovenian castle built into a cave

EDIT: Apologies, I was recently made aware that Slovenians do not like being referred to as Eastern European. Sorry about that.This is Predjama Castle, a real place in the Central European nation of Slovenia. Predjama is the castle a paranoid person builds. Start by constructing it in the mouth of a...
