Predjama Castle - Patrons' Edition

EDIT: Apologies, I was recently made aware that Slovenians do not like being referred to as Eastern European. Sorry about that.

Mont-Saint-Michel: Random Stuff I Forgot or Remade - Patrons' Edition

So, there's only three things here. The first is the annotated version of the first level. It mentions significant things on upper floors, like the town hall and the constabulary, and it has one more building marked: a tavern called "The House of ...

Map Assets for modifying Mont-St-Michel and Brazenthrone. And one character token.

Specifically, my character token. That's Berg and I'll talk about him in a second.

First, the assets: there are 3 sets, each with 30-40 images of common things in my maps: barrels, beds, desks and so forth. While these are not the f...

La France: Viva it.

This is the first of a bunch of posts I'll be making today with a whole bunch of different things, almost all pertaining to Mont-St-Michel. There's a few things I updated, a few things I forgot about until now and a few things I just finished.

Mont-Saint-Michel - Fourth Level

It's been quite a journey, but here we are at the end. Time to chuck the ring into the volcano and start on the next adventure.

To all my patrons, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to make this. I try to draw maps that no one e...

A Selection of Our Finest French VTT Maps

As promised, these are 18 multi-floor VTT maps containing all the buildings in Mont-Saint-Michel. There are 7 more maps of all the single-floor buildings in there too. This is my first time making these, so if you've got any thoughts or opinions a...

Mont-Saint-Michel - Third Level

This is almost everything. The DM notes are done too, although I reserve the right to change my mind about that tomorrow. There are a couple things left to do:

• Color the roofs. Easy, easy stuff.
• Make furniture tokens. I promis...

Mont-Saint-Michel - Second Level

I've talked about the map a lot. I feel like talking about my D&D game today.

So I recently started running a game for my friends again after about a year and it feels good to be behind the screen again. Our group is... a little atypical...

Mont-Saint-Michel - Ground Level

This is what the last few months have been leading up to. Hopefully it's everything you were expecting. There's still the upper floors to color and a few other little things to do, but we're almost there.

Mont-Saint-Michel – Work in Progress 13 - Les Roofs

There she is. A whole lot of trees died to get us to this point. Seriously, I'm gonna post a picture of all the originals at some point. I think this may have taken more paper than 2020-02-26 05:51:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Mont-Saint-Michel – Work in Progress 12 - The 3rd level, now with rocks, trees and other nature-type stuff

So, this is the whole island. In the back, there's the Chapel of St. Aubert on the left, then toward th...

Everything I need to draw for Mont-St-Michel is done. All of it.

Except for some rocks. The town is done, the abbey is done, the roofs are done, the little outlying buildings are done and the various things I forgot to draw earlier are done.

I didn't think I'd get it finished this soon, but I ended up dra...

The Post that was Promised

Okay, I'm awake, I've had coffee, I can write now. So, next up is the third level of Mont-St-Michel, which I think is quite a bit more interesting than the second because we finally get to the top of the curtain wall, which a lot of the adjacent b...

Mont-Saint-Michel – Work in Progress 11 - Complete 2nd Level of the Town and Abbey

I really wanted to get this done tonight and I did but now it's like 8 am and I want to write some stuff here but I just... I can't. I'll post something tomorrow. Good night.

Mont-Saint-Michel – Work in Progress 10

The second level of the town is almost done! Once I knock out the rest, it's on to the third floor, which shouldn't take long at all. Then I'll do whatever roofs are left, which is going to feel like a vacation compared to drawing the rest of this...

Mont-Saint-Michel – 1st Level of the Town and Abbey

Also, here's the entire first level of the town and the abbey.  I think this is pretty awesome.   Thank you so much for letting me make stuff like this.

Mont-Saint-Michel – Work in Progress 9: The Town, 2nd Level

The second level of the town is coming along faster than I'd expected and I'm feeling like we're on the homestretch now.

If you noticed that building at the bottom extending over the street, you should 2020-02-10 20:51:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Patrons: The Cartographic Congress Needs Your Help!

So, there has been a tie in the Cartographic Congress runoff vote and that is unacceptable. This isn't soccer, this is Thunderdome: two maps enter, one map leaves. Two maps do not leave. So, in order to break the tie, I'm opening the vote up to al...

Mont-Saint-Michel - Work in Progress 8: Le Roof

And that's it for the abbey. You may have noticed the steeple here and thought, "Is there really a statue of a sword-wielding angel on top of this thing?" In fact, there is a 2020-02-05 18:07:58 +0000 UTC View Post

The 17th Cartographic Congress Vote Runoff

Two big things on the water. Will it be the drow city or the warship? Cast your votes!

Senator Matt proposes a drow city on the edge of an underdark lake. A giant hole in the roof of the cavern nearby creates a huge waterfall as water rushes...

Mont-Saint-Michel - Work in Progress 7: The Abbey, 3rd Floor

The third and final floor of the abbey is finished. In the center is the cathedral, of course. Above it on the left is the cloister, with the refectory and kitchen on the right. For those of you not familiar with the term, a refectory is a dining ...

Mont-Saint-Michel - Work in Progress 6: The Abbey, 2nd Floor

The second level of the abbey is done and there's some interesting stuff here. The room near the bottom-left with the four pillars is an ossuary. The big thing in the middle is called a "2020-01-27 09:22:31 +0000 UTC View Post

Mont-Saint-Michel - Work in Progress 5: The Abbey

The  abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel is both amazing and complete madness. Every map I have of it (and I have a lot) disagrees with the rest about what rooms are on what floor.

The thing is, the floors here don't just neatly stack o...

Mont-Saint-Michel - Work in Progress 4

Originally, I'd intended to post again once I'd finished the upper town, but I decided to push on and finish up the gardens as well. So this is the entire ground level of the town complete. Aside from two small buildings on the north side of the i...

The 16th Cartographic Congress Vote - Final Deathmatch

ROME HAS FALLEN! The sky pirates and the hill people have brought down the mighty empire. Who will rule over their ashes?

Senator Fraz-Urb'luu proposes a pirate's secret airship factory, hidden on an earthmote (an island in the sky).
