Dead God Port
🕑 Added 2022-08-02 06:39:50 +0000 UTCIt's debated among the multiverse's foremost sages as to whether building atop the petrified remains of long-forgotten deities constitutes some form of cosmic blasphemy. A controversial port among the religious, the enclave nevertheless is an uncontested spectacle to behold. 25 turrets stand atop the dead god's back, each one of them alight with enchanting blue flames. While hunger, thirst and sleep are of little concern in the plane of thought, luxuries such as fine food, libations and private lodging are all available to the uninitiated traveler. Bookish visitors will have no trouble finding a private reading nook here, and magical goods can be purchased from a number of merchants who call this port home.
Hey folks,
So this is my largest map to date (70x100!) and working with image files this massive has introduced some new logistical challenges. Since Patreon has a 200MB upload limit per file/folder, I have converted the files to WEBP, which allows for superior compression. Unfortunately I'm unable to do this by default, as Clip Studio Paint doesn't export WEBP images (requiring me to jump through hoops to convert files with other programs) and WEBP isn't officially supported by Roll20's VTT. I try to keep Roll20's file limitations in mind when releasing content, which is why my maps are typically kept under 5 MB. In order to accommodate users of all VTTs, I've included compressed versions of each map variant at 70 ppi, in addition to the higher definition WEBP files. For this reason, the CR 5 tier has two download links this time, as I couldn't fit all the files in under Patreon's upload limit.
For Foundry users in the CR 8 tier- I have only included the Foundry module in your tier's link for this post. The map files are in the module folder already, and if you for some reason want the 70 ppi maps in addition to the higher res versions in the Foundry module, you can grab it from the CR 5 tier's link.
In the future I intend to release maps at my standard 140 ppi, but if I ever tackle maps of this scale again, I anticipate I might handle the formatting similarly.

Hey there. Thanks for the kind words and for your support! The free versions of my maps have both a grid and a watermark. CR 2 tier rewards will include the versions without the watermark, both with and without a grid. In this case I made an additional free sample version for the astral variant. Sometimes I include more than one sample map per release so I have more promotional material I can use to spread the word on socials, but only patrons will have access to the versions without a watermark or grid. I hope that answers your question!

I'm a new member and LOVING your work! At this point I'm a "entry level" supporter, and I don't want to seem pushy, but I am curious: for the Dead God / Asteroid CR2 looks just like the Free version, or is it only the addition of the Grid version?
