Atropos' Battlemaps Module - July Update
🕑 Added 2021-07-30 17:06:53 +0000 UTC
Hello good friends, I hope everyone is well. I am excited to share a fairly substantial update to my Patreon maps module which I hope you will all enjoy.
The new maps are all largely winter/snow themed as I am continuing to run a campaign of Rime of the Frostmaiden, but I hope the maps are versatile enough to be useful to many of you regardless of your game setting. Please let me know what you think of the new maps in the comment section below!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Module Structure Change
The maps module now includes a second compendium pack featuring high resolution maps created for a 200px grid. These higher resolution maps give the best possible visual experience for you and your players as you explore these scenes.
The module now features two compendium packs: Atropos' Battlemaps - 100px and Atropos' Battlemaps - 200px. The 100px pack features the smaller size older maps, while the 200px pack is the one that I will be adding new maps to moving forward.
The following maps are available in 200px resolution (new maps in bold): Abandoned Quarry, Black Cabin, Elven Tomb, Forest Cabin, Forest Fork, Frozen Falls, Frozen Mountain Pass, Frozen River Bridge, Gemstone Mine, Mountain Campsite, Mountain Valley, Nomad Camp, Smuggler's Hideout, Snow-Shrouded Forest.

6 New Maps
This module update adds six new maps to the pack which I am excited for you to explore and share with your players. Each of these new maps is available at the enhanced 200px resolution. Most of these new maps include support for the foreground layer and overhead tiles which brings a new dimension of exploration to your gameplay.
Black Cabin
A spooky cabin perched at the edge of a precarious snowly cliff overlooking a mist-shrouded forest far below. This map uses overhead tiles, with a roof tile for the cabin which allows your players to seamlessly move between the exterior area and the interior of the cabin.
Elven Tomb
An ancient barrow constructed in the side of a mountain. Outside the barrow stands an impressive moondial which allows for you to incorporate a puzzle element into the exploration of the scene. The interior has been abandoned for countless years and is currently the den of a hungry pack of winter wolves.
Forest Cabin
The classic scene which I used to prototype the overhead tiles and roofs feature - a quaint cabin in a forested glade. Perfect for an important NPC encounter or as a party hideout that is a refuge from the anxiety of their epic struggles.
Forest Fork
A wintry crossroads where danger lurks nearby - a snow-covered burrow is the home to formidable ice trolls (or other monsters). The roof of the burrow is an overhead tile which keeps its location secret until your players enter the cave entrance. This map is perfect for a random wilderness encounter.
Mountain Valley
A variant of the previously released Mountain Camp map (which now also has a 200px version). This map focuses on the valley below the campsite so that you can have two different phases of exploration in this area.
Snow-Shrouded Forest
A spooky and mist-covered forest where the trees cast long shadows in the twilight. This is a wilderness exploration map that is perfect for a random encounter against terrible dangers of the frost-covered woodlands.
While this was not a new map, since it was included in the previous pack update, the map has been re-done and all the trees in this map are overhead tiles which provides an exciting and immersive exploration experience as your players navigate through the scene.

Any chance on an update regarding The Demon Queen Awakens being downloadable anytime soon? I'm dying for the macro regarding the Nehebkilat fight, where the lights anchored on the token.
