TMC - Endless Wizard's Tower 2 | VH - Death House announcement!
🕑 Added 2024-05-06 14:14:52 +0000 UTCHey all!
We're kicking off May with some Endless Wizard's Tower 2 content, and an exciting announcement about this month's Vampire Hunter content. Let's get started!
The MAD Cartographer | Endless Wizard's Tower 2
This month's theme is Endless Wizard's Tower 2, where we're adding another spread of arcane and magical floors to our Wizard Tower template. These are not linked mechanically in Foundry, so you're able to customize your own configuration of tower! The team had a lot of great ideas for floors saved in the bank, so we'll be bringing you a larger number of maps than usual this month!
Alchemy Lab
The Alchemy Lab contains a few different workstations, but is dominated by a giant cauldron in the centre of the floor. Foundry users are able to pass beneath the overhead tubing, and will notice that the giant cauldron is animated and self-stirring thanks to the tile-scroll module!
Scrying Pools
A wellspring of powerful divination magic and tranquility, these enchanted pools provide a place to relax and focus one's magical energies. Foundry users will also notice the enchant shoal of flying koi circling overhead!
Lecture Hall
Many magical lessons can take place throughout a wizard's tower, but we realised we had always been lacking in something approaching a classroom! This lecture hall provides an open space for social or combat encounters in a more traditional classroom setting!
MAD Science
Not all of the experiments taking place in this tower are strictly arcane, some of the practitioners have delved more into the little-understood practices of science and lightning. The MAD Science lab sees several experimental patchwork corpses awaiting assembly, whilst huge tesla coils and a mysterious new power source funnel energy towards an operating table. Foundry users are able to pass beneath the overhead lightning arcs.
Dragon Hatchery
Strange and magical creatures are cared for and raised in some wizard's towers, and none are more magical and famous as dragons. The dragon hatchery contains a number of magically warded incubators, where dragon eggs are painstakingly brought to the hatch under the careful eye of keepers, whilst magically-charged heat is carried to and from the incubators via overhead pipes.
Archmage's Suite
Whilst our original Endless Wizard's Tower maps did contain some bedrooms, they were smaller and more modest - appropriate for students and trainees. The Archmage's suite is an entire floor of lavish decorations and home comforts for a mighty magician. The Archmage's Suite includes a bedroom, teleportation circle, private library, and even contains a spot dedicated to the pondering of one's orb.
We'll be bringing another 2 batches of Endless Wizard Tower content over the course of May!
The gallery has been updated with this content, as well as pCloud, which you can access through your Theme Master List and the Foundry VTT module is updated and ready to be downloaded.
Vampire Hunters | Death House
We are excited to announce that for this month's Vampire Hunter content we'll finally be venturing into the dungeon commonly used as the introductory experience for Curse of Strahd - Death House. This sprawling haunted mansion gives players a horrifying and bleak introduction to the lands of Barovia.
Given the sheer size of Death House (a 3 floor mansion and a sprawling 2 floor basement) we will be releasing it in one massive drop at the end of the month in our final content push. It's our biggest and most complicated Vampire Hunter map yet!
We'll be back next week with another batch of Endless Wizard's Tower 2 floors.
Until then...
Keep Rollin' those 20's, folks!
Harrison, Alex, & Team MAD
