#mapvember2018 3/30: Mirror Maze

A strange crystalline growth has started to take over landscapes at an accelerating rate. The growth has a silvery-white reflective surface, and its edges are incredibly sharp. When near a "mirror maze," people start experiencing auditory hallucin...

A scratch-built fortress made out of truck trailers, buses, vans and cargo containers around a small house.

#Mapvember2018 1/30: Run to the Hills

Catching up with my #mapvember maps. I decided to try making anything but fantasy maps this #mapvember since all my maps last year were fantasy dungeons. So, around thirty sci-fi, modern and post-apocalyptic maps coming up 😉

This map has an...

The Troll Bridge

Some time ago we played D&D and there was an encounter with two trolls. The trolls came out of nowhere with no apparent plan or motivation. This kind of bothered me, so I decided to do a map for this kind of encounters. 

In this map...

Draft: The Troll Bridge

A while ago we played D&D with my regular group and there was a random encounter. Two trolls attacked the caravan. After that session I was kind of frustrated by the fact how the trolls just appeared from nowhere, so I wanted to do a map that ...

Freebie: A Dozen Dungeons, vol. 1

The Well of Horrors

In the woods close to a small town, there is a temple of a small, but fast-growing cult. The cult has made its home in a gnomish workshop that was abandoned a long time ago. What happened to the gnomes, nobody knows or remembers anymore. 

Testing printed map sections

Testing out a printed section of my upcoming map. The original was not drawn with a grid, so it doesn't quite match, but works well enough IMHO. I need to give this a try soon with a map drawn on a grid. The grid is 1" and the resolution fits virt...

Pool of Tears

Here's a quick map I drew on a coffee break

Strongholds & Followers Teaser

Here's a small slice of a map I did for the Strongholds & Followers by Matt Colville. I'm so happy about this opportunity, which I nearly passed. I have learned so much and had a lot of practice in such a short time while making these maps. I'...

The Tomb of Nihalar

The Tomb of Nihalar is a pyramid hidden in the jungle. It has the main level and a lower catacomb level with hidden caves. There's also a camp outside the pyramid. Could it be a group of scholars... or tomb raiders, perhaps?

This is the firs...

Special Freebie: World of Tora

I found a thing! I was going through boxes filled with my old drawings and RPG stuff and I came across these maps. These are scans of a fantasy world map I did sometime around 1999 or 2000. I even made a weathered looking handout version of the ma...

The Mansion of Horrors

I did this mansion with caverns underneath it about a year ago for Geek & Sundry's Dread show. I remember struggling with the house layout as it is something from this world and it was difficult to make it exciting and surprising. But now, whe...

The Azure Bastion

The Azure Bastion was once an important coastal fortress keeping an eye on a narrow passage on a peninsula leading to the properous harbor city of King's Bay. But the great Spellquake changed everything. 

Landmasses shook and c...

Crashlanding WIP

I finally got my laptop's stylus working correctly on Photoshop. Here's what I did on the bus back home from work. This is still very much a work in progress, but drawing digitally seems to have a lot of potential and allows me to make color maps ...

A small village of Lumijoki is under attack by Russian cossacks and a group of villagers have fled into a small abandoned hut in the middle of barren and snow covered crop fields.
