I have new map up on RPGNow: The Tree Bridge This, and the other maps in the line, can be found here: Fantastic Maps on RPGNow Here's a preview of the Tree Bridge: Each map pack contains: A pdf of the map chopped up into printable pages that can be printed on a home printer and then...

Two Q&As about this project are now up on the Rite Publishing Site with more to follow: First part of the Q&A. Second part of the Q&A. Now here's a larger (and slightly different) version of the screenshot in the second Q&A. You can click the image for a larger view. I think the players...

Well as a patron you'd get some nice step by step walkthroughs to help you get used to maptool - but the adventure itself will still come in pdf form. Now here's a larger (and slightly different) version of the screenshot in the second Q&A. You can click the image for a larger view. I think...

Part 2 of the Q&A is up.

:) Can't beat a good kobold knee breaker - it's all they can reach.... As promised, here's some more details about the project I am working on. I am the lead designer on the Breaking of Forstor Nagar, an adventure in the frozen north to rescue an ambassador from a city built into a great...

It's great to be involved with this project. I've been a long term advocate and user of VTTs and it's exciting to be creating the first ever adventure designed specifically for use with maptool (free and open source, so no need to worry that you won't have the required software or hardware)...

It's been a while so it must be time for another map! I have been busy with a few ultra-secret projects of which more details soon.... Here's a recent map created for the Pathfinder setting of Mor Aldenn, for Headless Hydra Games: It's a den of thieves and scum - a proper dive that reeks of...

And excellent miniatures they are too! The CG actually has loads of tips on creating maps that don't require much in the way of drawing - instead using computer filters to do much of the heavy lifting. People get some really beautiful results. Thanks for the compliments. I'm really pleased you...

Kobold Quarterly Interview! What you do with these in your own home is your own business :) I can't imagine that Open Design will send around their kobold knee breakers if you change the name of the file on your home hard drive. The copyright only comes into play if the maps are reposted or...

Okay, so it's been a while. Here's a little update. I've had maps out for Open Design, two Kobold Quarterly Maps of Fantasy (like the old Maps of Mystery feature from Dungeon) and some private commissions, as well as creating a set of tile for use with maptool that allow you to create a dungeon...

Right, a few more. These are from the upcoming adventure A Witch's Choice by Rite Publishing. They were a lot of fun to do - especially the first. The adventure is set in Arcana Evolved and comes out at the beginning of April. It'll be through lulu for hardcopy and through Paizo and rpgnow for...

Okay, here's a map I posted to ICE for a contest they were running - their inaugural map contest. It's a temple in a frozen waterfall that has trapped an ancient dragon. There's also a pdf at a scale that can be printed at home here. I also came up with a little flavour text. Now I am no...

Wow, thanks for all the compliments. There are a few more in the works that I should be able to post soon.

None that I can pass on at the moment, though I'll be sure to post an update when it gets close to release.

A recent world map commission for an upcoming game: This is rights reserved as it was commissioned. I promise there will be some more freely usable maps soon!

And a couple more, also from the Wrath of the River King Each thumbnail links to the image in my deviantArt gallery. The unlabelled versions are in there too. You can download the full resolution images via the download link at the top left of each page. Please note that these are not CC...

I'd recommend Gimp (free software that runs on any platform. Just google it). If you want some good advice on mapmaking and mapmaking software head over to the cartographer's guild (Cartographers Guild :: Homepage). The tutorials section will give you good advice for mapmaking with almost any...

Here's a few more. These were created for Wolfgang Baur's Open Design Project - Wrath of the River King. It's designed to be able to be played as a follow on to Keep on the Shadowfell. You can find out more here: Open Design - Matter of Days: Wrath of the River King and here: The Free City It's...
