It is Phandelver Support Map Pack #5.

younas slaoui-khales

I see alot of other wondering about the ruined tresendar manor, but i must be blind, cant find a spreadsheet or the corelating map pack. Anyone have any clue how to find it? :P

Jeff Todd

I'm still working through the village. There are 4 sections done and I have started the 5th, which is on the east side.

Sig Culhane

Is there no Vallaki East?

Jeff Todd

It was supposed to go live mid-July, but the developer unexpectedly lost their family pet and so they were taking some time to just sort that out. I'm hopeful that we'll have the starting point released in early August.

Sean Robertson

I wanted to follow up on this website to see if it's been released yet? Love your work but agree it's tough to preview any of the maps.

Hi, I am planning on using your restored Thundertree in an upcoming session but the one linked from your map list is 'small', and so fairly low definition up close. Are you able to post, or share a higher quality version with me please? Ideally I need them in JPEG as I am using Owlbear Rodeo as a VTT.

Jeff Todd

There's been consistent work. Almost all of the maps are up there and more easily sorted. Trying to get Patreon integration now so you can download directly from the site. Appreciate the patience. :)

Sean McDonough

Has there been any update on that site? It's still very difficult. I'm new to patreon and having a hard time navigating the posts. I am loving these maps btw!

Jeff Todd

Sorry you had trouble. There's a web site being developed that will make that process much, much easier. If there are particular maps you're after, send me a message, happy to help.

Karl from Agoura

Navigating this site to download the maps you want is truly confusing.

Jeff Todd

Alright, fixed now. Thanks!

The Tier 3 is still not working for Vallaki Village & St. Andral's Church, but I fixed it by adding "?pr=true" to the end of the link and it brought me to the correct post.

Jeff Todd

I will check it out -- thanks for letting me know.

Joseph Carriker

I am experiencing the same issue. The problem is that it seems to go to a Patreon user's profile, rather than the link to the post.

Jeff Todd

What problem are you experiencing?

Bruno Oliveira

good job, the maps are amazing. The link from: Tier3 to | Vallaki Village & St. Andral's Church; it has problems. thanks!

Kacper Stachowski

Would it be possible to put all those zips into a single folder on the Google Drive? It would be easier to download multiple files at once

Terry Schulte

Thanks for all your hard work!

Jeff Todd

Thanks, Mega -- still definitely interested in any suggestions you have, sir!

Jeff Todd

Hi Mega Loynx -- thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the time you took to write this up -- and I've been working on ways to improve the process. I wish that Patreon made it easier to do, and that thieves impacted decision making less. It sounds like you expect the files to all be designed for your specific use case (i.e. your VTT, labeled the way you want them to, etc...) and may not be the case. I have people using Fantasy Grounds, Foundry, Roll20, so many of the files types you may have found redundant are actually specifically for a specific group and need to likewise be represented. The semantic difference between tokens and tiles isn't universal, but I appreciate and understand what you are saying. That said, I am open to constructive criticism and suggestions. It would be more useful for you to include ways you've enjoyed accessing files, or ways to improve the system, since simply expressing displeasure isn't optimal or, ultimately, helpful, outside of letting me know you'd like it to be improved. So, feel free to message me on Discord, or email me at morvoldpress@yahoo.com with those suggestions, and I'd be more than happy to see about attempting to implement them. I'd already started adding master lists by Tier that go directly to the files themselves, reducing the amount of time needed to search and click your way to the desired file(s).

Mega Lonyx

Love your maps, really great work on these maps. Edit: I think my previous comment was harsh. Although the files could be organized for easier access I understand the struggle.

Trevor Green

Thank you for all your hard work. It is quite evident in your maps.

Jeff Todd

Thanks Mark -- yeah, I don't know why, but the images I have on Patreon (which I was using for those) seem to expire. I've been slowly going through and replacing them with images from my Art Station images, which I'm hoping will be more long-lasting.

Mark Shaver

I just joined but it looks like a number of the free images on the google sheet say expired URLs.

VegasRatt

I absolutely will. Thank you.

Jeff Todd

Thank you, sir! And welcome aboard! I've got a revamped set of those maps coming along (hopefully sooner than later), and also hope to get them all into one big download, so keep an eye out for the new ones! =)

VegasRatt

Your work is absolutely fantastic. I am getting ready to run The Lost Mines for the first time on Roll20. I think I am going to replace all the default maps with your work. They are so much better. Plus add your extras for Phandalin. Again.. great job.

Jeff Todd

Hi Raphael -- welcome! I understand it can be a bit of a hassle for a large collection of maps like that. I am in the process of redoing several of those maps and, once completed, will very likely create a single download for the entire set based on preferences (i.e. JPG, .dd2vtt, Gridded, Ungridded, etc...). It's also probably helpful to know that much of this process is/was new to me, and I've been working at evolving over time to provide better services and products, improve convenience, and I will continue to do that as time allows. I appreciate the feedback, and will hopefully have some of those fixes in places soon!

Raphael Thivierge

For a new patron trying to download a lot of maps it would be nice to be able to download an entire section at once to make it quicker. For example, being able to download all of tier 1 at once (or in large packs) would save a lot of time (instead of having to click 3-4 links for each map)

Jeff Todd

Thanks! Yeah, I'm hoping to spend some time getting it all moved over to the Google Spreadsheet soon, but will probably keep logging it in both places. Just want to try and make it easy for people. I'm also going to be looking into setting up a website to help navigate the maps, as well, in the long-term.

Rob Mongar

Wow, that's a hell of a list Morvold Press :)

Jeff Todd

Hey Justin! Welcome, aboard! =) Thanks for letting me know about the links -- I will try and see if I can figure out what might be happening. As for the Shielded City -- there are upper level maps, so let me check and make sure they're linked/attached!

Justin Tan

Hi, this list is good and I'm thankful for it. The Google Sheet I know is WIP but many of the images don't work any more, and when you click on the link for the tier that you want, there's no image there either. Minor things really, but I note on other map makers they often have the zip files for each tier on the post itself, but maybe they use a proper file hosting site or something. Anyway, thanks for the awesome maps, my favourite is the Shielded City of V'run which I was hoping to get the upper levels for with this sub but I don't think you've made one yet. In my version there will a sniper's nest in the middle about 60ft up that the players might want to occupy themselves in the heist I'm planning :) And to find the lower level in the map pack was a great bonus, I won't need to find a different one now, cheers!

Jeff Todd

There used to be some other comments. Strange. Maybe they get erased when I edit and save again? Either way, thank you! I also have the Google Spreadsheet (linked in this post), which provides an easier way to search for what you want and see what's available. I don't have all of the maps listed on there yet, but I've been adding all of the newer ones moving forward.

iAmTheTot

This is a very smart idea for a patreon to have, and as a subscriber I really appreciate the effort in keeping this list up to date for our ease. Surprised no comments yet, I think I will dare to speak for all your patrons when I say thank you for this list.
