Overgrown Forest Dock (22x26)
🕑 Added 2021-06-18 16:52:27 +0000 UTCGood morning! Today, I bring you my own backyard.
That's not a joke, this map is pretty much just my backyard, fictionalized. I took the wildcard today and decided to draw a marshy shoreline with a dock. Nature is nice, and this is a weird niche I don't think I've seen done yet. Most of Minnesota is like this, actually - does your fantasy world have a land of ten thousand lakes?
This map is probably best-used as a midpoint in an adventure segment, where someone is to be met and complications are to be had, or if the party runs across a river or large lake in their path. Perhaps there's a boatman willing to ferry them, for a price. Of course, there's also the bonfire variants - maybe a force of kobolds are hosting festivities late at night and are in dear need of disruption.
Variants
- Supporter: Day, night, rain, fog, and no fewer than three bonfire variants - one ordinary one and two purple magical ones, one with a much stronger flame than the other. Weather!
- Enthusiast: Comes with a host of all four weather conditions without the dock, canoes, campfire pit, or any other sign of life - for wilderness exploration and scenarios far from civilization! Also comes with a set of fairy ring versions with a circle of mushrooms in the clearing, and a moonlit magical variant on the fairy ring.
- Benefactor: The two primary variants are an alternative shoreline - with less lily pads, mud and algae, and more sand and sunny water - and a variant with a far more swampy atmosphere. In addition to all of the variants above for these, you also get a variant with a monstrous ghostly apparation in the fog!

Downloads include all content from the previous tiers.
For the raw files this time, you will need to download both parts and then extract them together with a tool that supports this - if your program can extract 7z archives in the first place, chances are it can do multi-archive extractions too! Sorry for the inconvenience, but this map was just too big to fit in one file.
Notes
I very much like these nature scenes, but perhaps the last map this month will be a bit more urbanized. Perhaps a Forbidden City, or rural village? Or a Thai temple/wat, maybe. I will run a poll tomorrow. I'm also thinking of doing a special one for Independence Day/week, but I haven't finalized plans for that. I might just use July's wildcard on that.
Praise the almighty stamp brush, for saving me from having to place eight hundred plus lily pads by hand. To say nothing of the grass.
There is a frog 'hidden' somewhere in this map. It's not really that hidden, but try to find it anyways!
