APRIL 2019
🕑 Added 2019-04-30 14:07:29 +0000 UTCThe theme for April was Pirate Hideout and it gave me a little room to play around with the Fragmented Dungeon system. Creating new types of connection tiles but also try out combining exit types on main tiles (like on my dock tile).
Now in order to optimize patrons using my tiles I've enlisted the help of another programmer, as I've already got two working with me for my largest map building project, to try and create a handy little website that will make creating maps with these tiles much easier. It's a bit of a side gig, a bonus thing for you fine folk, so we'll see where it goes but the idea is to create a dungeon creator with a randomizer in it. So you can input some basic data and it will create random dungeons using the tile system. It's something for DM's who either run out of inspiration for an upcoming run or people who need something quick made on the fly. Unlike my bigger project, which is much more complex in design, this should take less time to put together and I hope to have something to show for a lot sooner.
I mention this because I'm going to try and convince you all of doing another run of these type maps and I think that the prospect of something like that website that helps you put the pieces together might help make that decision. I'm also looking into getting this concept into print so doing some more of them might create a good batch to work from for that project as well.
I'm finishing off the current series with a final set of tiles that isn't included in this image. Three more panoramic tiles to finish of the pirate theme: a big underground tavern.

Bit late to this post but I just signed up. The dropbox back catalogue appears to be missing some expected tiles. I can't find the #2 main tile with the blue crystals or the East and South water walls. Where they left out for some reason? Everything else looks and works great tho.

Hey Tristan! Currently the Pirate maps are only uploaded in HD, but once I finish the set I make sure to convert them all to a size for ROLL20 too, like most of my maps have been. I prefer to do this iconversion in bulk. Now if user do need a map converted before that just contact me at any time and I'll try to get it done asap.
Hi, I'm a fairly new patron who is also new to using Patreon. Where do I actually download them and are they formatted for Roll20?

Hey Sleepnir, it should be quite straigth forward the way I release content: Either you are in a higher tier and get everything I release straigth away or you can expect new content at the start of the new month. The monthly content dump is announced via direct message as I update the Back Catalogue link each month and you can find new content in the Folder per Month Section under the month it is released. The posts I make on the site are only for updates, or polls or announcements. I will always use direct messages to update everyone at the end of each month as I update the link to the Back Catalogue. Does that sound good?

Hi, since we don't get direct links with these posts to the content being released, please make it clearer when new content has been added to the "Back Catalogue" folder that we need to go check and download from
Going to be using these for my Fantasy Grounds campaign. Wizards is just coming out with Ghosts of the Salt Marsh, so the Pirate Theme is perfect!
Love these. Thank you!

Gotcha. Keep up the good work!

Coming up is a vote to see what tiles will be added to the tiers for Dungeon Masters and Lords. All these tiles are already available for Kings and Gods tiers. Lower tiers get a selection of what I make in a month.

I JUST upped my sub to Dungeon Master. Any chance it's not too late to get a link to these?
