Hello, everyone!

The woods seem calm today and nothing dangerous has happened to the party. Yet. While trying to cross the forest the group comes near a cave. They go inside to investigate, lead by their thirst for adventure. But inside they find a giant bear!

But there’s something off about it, and it would seem it’s under some sort of spell. Time to deal with the bear and uncover the meaning behind such occurrence.

The creature tokens for this map are an Ankylosaurus, a Catfolk Rogue and a Magma Salamander. Emerald tier gets the Ankylosaurus while Diamond tier gets all three. In addition, Sapphire tier gets extra creature token variants.

Greetings!

The voyage didn’t go as planned. Without notice the ship was attacked and in all the commotion the adventuring party lost valuable allies and gear.

Still, it seems luck was on their side, for at the very least they were able to survive the cannon onslaught. Not only that, but they reached their destination. Kind of. They’re some days of travel behind the city, but they’re on land once more. They set up camp, but a storm seems to be on the way.

Can they survive another day and reach the city before long? And what are those strange noises heard in the distance?

Some people have asked me if I can publish my mapmaking tools. So I developed a software. 🙂

Here is the result:

Close-ups of one of the maps I'm most proud of

All the details were done by hand, each pencil stroke, and I can't believe I actually had the patience for it all

Full version under the cut

Drawing and painting all the tiny locations taught me a lot, and I'm grateful I got commissioned to work on such a beautiful map. Only thing I regret is that it's so big so many details are lost, when looking at it so I made this post so the close up views might do them justice

Welcome to a classic diner featuring checkered floors, vinyl couches, and a long counter lined with stools—perfect for a chaotic brawl amid spilled milkshakes and flying plates!

This map features a large dining area with multiple tables, a large kitchen, a freezer, storage rooms, an office, and more! The exterior includes multiple parking spaces with cars, which could potentially be a spot for shady deals.

The map pack features Cyberpunk and Post-Apocalyptic variants, with day/night versions for each.

What if the world serpent was the land? I enjoyed making this a great deal <3

[terriwriting]

I didn't want to do this (does anyone ever?) but between rent and bills I have a $300 $400 hole in my budget. I have four RPG maps and a couple of pieces of writing available over on my Ko-fi, and if anyone wants to buy anything or leave a donation I would be incredibly happy.

Edit: I don't have much time and the situation is worse than I thought so I've set up a Gofundme.

Eberron Remastered

A whole bunch of different factors have led to one of my favourite settings rising, phoenix-like from the ashes of the OGL disaster. The long and short of it is that I’m not only able to enjoy Eberron again, but I want to play and write it. Do I have any interest in playing the game the setting was made for anymore? Absolutely not. Does that matter? No, because I have Pathfinder. 

Enter Eberron Remastered. 

This is my crack at using Pathfinder 2e’s mechanics as the foundation for the Eberron setting. I’m far from the first person to do this, but I’m hoping to bring something unique to the table. Even if I don’t, it will be something I do for fun, because there is zero way to monetize this. I’m very aware that a lot of RPG work these days is with at least half an eye towards publication. That’s fine — but I think carving out some hobby space that is explicitly about just having fun is healthy too. 

Because I like to lay these things out ahead of time, here are the guiding principles I’m using for Eberron Remastered. 

Agree to disagree: there are a whole bunch of people working on different ways of running Eberron using Pathfinder. Sometimes I agree with their design choices and sometimes I do not. Likewise, they may not always agree with mine. I want this upfront as a reminder to myself and my audience that those disagreements are OK. The best practice is whatever works at a given table, so if someone wants to use some of my ideas and ignore others, I'm not bothered. 

Do not reinvent the wheel: wherever possible, I am going to try and avoid making brand new mechanics and instead use what already exists in Pathfinder. That doesn't mean I'll never do it, but I recognize I have limitations on my time and energy and I want to keep this fun. Especially because I know my reach is already going to exceed my grasp in other places. 

No singular solutions: this is a philosophy I've picked up over the years from Keith's own writing. Mechanics are tools that can represent many things and sometimes a single concept can be approached with multiple sets of mechanics. Using one set of mechanics (particularly ancestries) to express an idea doesn't mean that mechanics can be used exclusively that way. 

A different Eberron: If it has a place in Pathfinder, there can be a place for it in Eberron. That means that I am going to diverge from some of Eberron's canon and kanon lore because I am working with different monsters and mechanics. In some places, I will homebrew things across games (hello beholders), but in others I will branch off in different directions. 

Hopefully this is fun for me and fun for you. There's plenty of tools available in Pathfinder, which I think makes it ideal to use with Eberron. Not everything exists yet, but it is pretty dang close. This plan is both a throwback and a new path forward. We all could use a bit of that in these crazy times. 

Oh and guess what? That custom map of Eberron I’ve been working on for years is looking nice!

All aboard the Lightning Rail. Next stop is Sharn!

Greetings!

The adventuring party has entered the great, living castle. Its rooms are vast and the hallways long. The ceiling almost impossibly high. It’s a place where ancient magic permeates every stone.

The heroes are willing to reach the top of the castle and vanquish the evil that controls it.

But that journey will be a long one. For the castle itself will pose a challenge to the champions of good.

They enter a room, a bottomless pit stretches far into the distance. The only way to cross to the other side is through the unstable-looking platforms.

And as they begin to make their way jumping from one to the other, an arrow passes by them. Summoned skeleton archers are now trying to stop the valiant invaders.

Can they surpass this challenge? Or will the castle get the best of them?

Welcome back to Manor d'Magnia

I finished ALL of the interiors for this Manor :O I'll probably do a video comparing the Manor d'Magnia in Little Burned Maiden with the interiors now sometime soon... BIG fan of the colors though -- I think my color theory has really improved recently and things are looking so moody now :D
