Fantastical Maps (August)
🕑 Added 2019-09-03 22:24:39 +0000 UTCIn the last poll I did here on Patreon (with the Council), it was decided I would try some new types of maps based on a theme of Planar / Feywild ( also jungle) style maps. When doing research to figure out how I was going to translate that I decided to try and create a combined style that would feature all of the above instead of just nitpicking and going on with the theme I had picked up for a while (the Fragmented style).
The result are these floating island designs that allow me to create big individual illustrations but also smaller ones, that all connect and can be scrambled as usual. A new technique that has given me loads of new ideas for other other worldly maps (such as demonic ones) but also made it so I had to spend a a bit more time figuring out the technique instead of just pumping out maps as usual. This results in fewer quantity (the standard patrons receiving 5 tiles and the 5$+ patrons receiving 9) which will always happen when we go on a new tangent.
To make up for that I decided to create a large map that combines the tiles in one including a set of mechanics that I had in mind for the day I would possibly play this map myself.
This is something I generally do every time I create a map but I hadn't really included in the last sets because they were more technical in design. If we continue in this vein of otherworldly or more dungeon styled maps I might try to do this for each month of maps, if a lot of people are interested in it. I even tried to include a sort of wider spread of leveled mechanics to make it viable for players of all levels.
It's a rather quick write, so you might find some parts hard to read but it's the thought that counts right?
I'll be uploading these tiles tomorrow (I spent a lot of time updating everything and have no time to export and resize for this day), but I hope you'll excuse my delays. This means also updating the folders and sending you a new link of course, so you'll be notified!
Kind Regards,

I've been looking for a map like this for ages! Are your ideas for mechanics 8 and 9 available to $2 tier patrons? 👀

What size should things be printed at! Would love if that was included with each item!
