August Map Schedule - Update
🕑 Added 2021-08-02 14:48:22 +0000 UTCHello Adventurers! It’s August and I’ve been rummaging through all the amazing ideas you have sent me over the last few months and picked three I think will work well together. I normally pick a weird/fantastical map theme, a structure (building) theme, and a wilderness map (travel encounter) theme. These are the current ideas I have for our August maps (Suggested by you all! Hopefully I credited the right people, let me know if I didn’t) :
- Temple Dig Site
One of my variants for the Forest Boundary was a small dig site where someone had dug into the mounds and uncovered something. Well, I really like this idea and wanted to create a much larger ‘Dig Site’. I really loved a suggestion by Wes to look at the Kailasa Temple in India for inspiration and so I’ve decided to incorporate these ideas into a dig site that is uncovering some kind of ancient temple. - Ruined Hamlet (village)
For our buildings-style map, I’ll go with a Ruined Hamlet map. Just a few buildings, mostly stone walls, the odd wooden beam, and burnt planks. Thanks to Chromatic Sedition for this one. - Bamboo Forest
I’d love to try my hand at creating this kind of forest. I suspect it will have a path and a clearing, maybe even a quiet pool with some giant Koi carp. Thanks to Sendoria for this idea.
I think that’s about it for now. Thanks so much for your support, if you have other map ideas please do send them over! Have a wonderful week and as always happy adventuring!

I have a bunch of Jungle maps and there will certainly be more on the way :D

Castle maps are right up there on the list :D
Yes. I'm going to play Tomb of Anihilation. I'll need more Jungle maps. (A lake, a Hill, deep Jungle, a Ravine, a big river, things like that...)

Would love for you to make a castle or a manor that could be used in a variety of campaigns, with the snow/forest options you do!

I've been following you for a while and just signed up. Loving all the great maps and ideas! I've been playing a lot of Symbaroum RPG - would love to request: - A Forest Wilderness pack (like the Jungle, Swamp and Grasslands you've done before) - Ancient ruins (little/no furnishings, and minimal lighting - some plundered and some not) in forest, swamp, jungle, underground settings - Subterranean passages/tunnels/branches (similar to the river you've done in the past) Thanks!
Would love more nautical-themed ones! Still feeling the summer vibes lol. Maybe an Island, or just an epic area to fight a monstrous sea creature, maybe a cliff? Could have choppy waters as a variant.

I actually do have a map with a SpellJammer, check out 'The Crash Site' (I think that's what I called it). Its a classic Spelljammer style ship. However I'm always up for more astral sea style maps.

Ya Bamboo is much cooler looking from the side than the top, it's going to be an interesting challenge to make it work, but I think I can create something that reads as Bamboo and is also fairly realistic.

Hey Carlos, I do have a few island, coast, and ship maps. But I will think about it and see if there is anything I haven't done yet.

Ya it should be a fun one to get looking right

Oooh sounds cool. Hopefully the Temple dig will work as well for that.

Running a spelljammer game so anything that could possibly be flipped into an astral setting like sea maps or ships would be perfect

Going to be running a Zombie Apocalypse setting so a ruined hamlet would be p.e.r.f.e.c.t.! Also a bamboo forest is a dope setting that I haven't found too many good maps for. Excited to see what you come up with!
Please consider for next month some boats or ships designs with sink variations if you can. Sea travel is a must in great adventures, your maps gave me a lot of material, this is one im still waiting. Thanks for your job

The bamboo forest sounds amazing!!

Can't wait for Bamboo Forest! Planning an anime with lots of east asian themes and that'd be a great map for it!
