Backstage Pass - August

Whoa, August? Really?

Damn.

Well, here's more maps, including the much sought-after redraw of the Caves of Chaos. The combined Cav...

Release the Kraken on Leeb's Fortress

Before we start posting maps for August, we still have the last of the maps voted on last month by the amazing supporters of the site through our Patreon campaign for re-release under our free commercial license. So welcome back to Leeb’s Fortress,...

Crypts of the Immortal Fortress

Beneath the Immortal Fortress are a number of small dungeons, tombs, crypts, and oubliettes. As the fortress itself is still inhabited and the residents know better than to explore these lower areas, they remain generally unmolested, with the entranc...

Release the Kraken upon the Fortress at Hawksford!

As the month rolls into the dog days of summer, it is time to tally up your votes and release some of our older maps under the commercial use license. This month we start off with a town drawn five years ago – the Fortress at Hawksford.

The Cockatrice Pit

A number of townfolk head out to the Old Grant Farm about once or twice a month in a semi-secretive manner. They are a motley crew, a mix of the well-to-do and grubby farmers and the woodswoman ranger.

It turns out this town has a very draconian �...

Orcs in Tarodun's Tomb!

A Fifth Edition adventure for first and second level characters.

• A sepulchral tomb.
• Magical tricks and traps.
• Brutish orcs guarding a vast underground treasure.

If that doesn't sound like a first...

The Hag's Swamp

“Yes now, the Hag’s Swamp you say? It is to the southeast of the keep – mostly swampy wetlands with a few hills and a copse of fir trees. Some say there are lizard folk what live in them swamp, but I figure you stick the the higher ground and t...

Ssa-Tun's Lake of Milk

When activated through specific rituals “when the stars are right”, the three pillars of Ssa-Tun act as portals to anchor points in the Alabaster Hells. One of the three pillar-gates leads here, to a small cavern containing a lake of milky-white ...

Ruins at the Three Pillars of Ssa-Tun

Along the blighted coast, beyond the lands of snow and ice and the adventurers’ boom-town of Gravelthorpe there is an old white stone pier on a quiet lonely shore. In the right seasons you can sometimes find the ruined road that leads into the hill...

Delren Street Sewers

While much of the city is served by “surface sewers” to move waste and water, in parts of the old town there exist proper underground sewers that date back to the previous empire’s attempts to clean up the city as a whole. Basements in these ne...

Heart of Darkling - DiTullio Islands

Several rivers run into the Darkling Lake - the vast underground "sea" at the end of the Darkling River. The Ditullio Islands are a small fishing community of mad derro tucked against the shore of the Darkling Lake where two smaller rivers enter it.<...

Wharton Mine

Old Wharton Mine was a small local source of onyx in its prime, but its location deep in the jungle made it nigh impossible to maintain supply lines or defenses. In the end the mine was abandoned because of prowling beasts and the difficulty in maint...

Release the Kraken - July Edition!

Yeah yeah, no puns, no cute wordplay or rhymes. Just time to pick what maps we'll re-release under the free commercial license.

This month's list involved some serious digging into the old days of the blog. I think the most recent offering in ...

The Savage Caves

The ruins of Saurguard Haunt are but burned stones and bits of rain-cleaned charcoal. But it is a harder task to burn down the small dungeon that sat beneath it.

Used as a traditional dungeon to hold prisoners under Saurguard – the dungeon was be...

Guimond's Tower and Lair of the Druid Lich

(Please note that the above image is the "low resolution" 300dpi version of the map. For the high resolution version you'll have to come over to the blog - I occasionally run into the pixel limit here on Patreon, and this one seems to be just ove...
