Hellscape PACK - Part 1
🕑 Added 2019-09-24 21:47:39 +0000 UTCHello Folks!
It's been a while since I've last posted, as I've been super busy preparing the launch of a digital platform for DnD related content. Something I'll be sharing some previews of very soon. What originally was going to be a platform launched for creating maps (integrating some of the concepts of the Fragmented Map stuff), was put on hold because of the scale of the project and the limited time my programmers had, and so I've decided to launch something smaller first. Which involves the Creature and Item Cards I've been working on in between maps. The goal is to get the funds to invest into buying the programmers some real time, instead of building it on leftovers - getting nowhere in the long run. I've also been trying to get other creators involved as well, who these are will be revealed in due time. I think it could be something really great and if I do succeed in Kickstarting it, I plan on expanding the website to include map building tools in the future as well.
Really more of a side note, because it's something some only of you might be interested in but what's more important I wanted to showcase the first fragment of this month's map pack. (Available for in the Supreme Back Catalogue already) As you can see I wanted to try a return to a partially "old formula" with a lot of influences of the new, building a much bigger battlemap consisting out of separate maps. Think Underworld and Dwarven Underground stuff. I plan on releasing two this size for the Back Catalogue and four for the Supreme instead for this month, that form a nice little Demonically themed Dungeon for you to run your players through.
The style I'm trying out here is incorporating some feedback I've gotten regarding certain elements like the visibility of terrain, me wanting to shed some of the technical restraints and trying out some more creative use of coloring based on art I really love.
Instead of starting with the entrance, I decided to create a centerpiece for the end of this dungeon. Either the Throne Room for a Demon or maybe one for a Fire Giant? Feel free to let your own imagination run free in the comments below, I might incorporate some of your thoughts into the rest of the Dungeon.
PS. I've seen the requests for adding the exact sizes of the Dungeons in the filenames and I'll make sure to do that when updating the Back Catalogue next time (and continue doing it for every battlemap afterward). If there is anything urgent, always feel free to hit me up about it and I'll try to get back to you asap.

Yes, the 2$ tier is my map tier to unlock all maps! You'll get access to the Dropbox on my site with that tier
Campbell Howat

Can do some small rooms too for sure. I'm still piecing parts of it together so I'll try to keep this in mind

Love this idea, I might suggest it as part of my next map idea though because right now I want to get that full dungeon finished for this month
JT Hood

Here's what I'll do, I'll make a big map with all the maps combined into one and split that up into fragments as requested. I'll do this at the end of the full pack, so at the start of the next month. Okay?
JT Hood
Can this be split into 8x8 grids so one could print it for tabletop play
I think it would be cool to make some assets which were like if the hellscape started bursting through the streets of a city and adventurers had to journey down into them to begin. DMs could put the assets into existing maps too!
Eyalyanko
how about a series of small rooms meant to be secret rooms locked behind a puzzle or an invisible wall
Dr. Feargood
Looks awesome!
The Elder Council
Awesome stuff, looking forward to it! Thanks for the update and the good work!
