A classic battlemap of mine, while I still hold a special place in my heart for it this map no longer reflects my current skill level and so I’m offering a steep discount at more than half off! Please enjoy! If you really love it let me know and mabye I’ll remake it at a quailty more reflective of my current work!

Necromancy is gross, But have you ever seen an artificer try their hand at it... That's a new and exciting kind of Gross.

Monster Factory, our adventurers have followed leads of strange monsters all across Eberron centered around a factory nestled in a quiet north side factory district.
A mastermind calling himself Lord Cardillo has been Forging monsters of all sorts with foul alchemy, Forbidden Necromancy, and all the Mechanical wonders of Eberron than secretly sending them out into the world for nefarious enigmatic reasons. cornered now This villain would be happy to see this factory reduced to ruin before besmirching his good name, and will trigger all manner of havoc causing explosions throughout the factory from his well-protected control room all while taunting our heroic adventurers.
Monster Factory is a 7 phased battle map, It is chaotic and very goofy much like the namesake. Cheers to the good good boys. The green Ooze is inspired by "The Dip" from Who framed Rodger Rabbit, My hope is the encounter will become something of a The floor is lava sort of experience as the party fends off the factory's creations and tries and stop them from erupting out of glass chambers and reanimating from the conveyor belt.

I have read of wars and plagues. Of the horrors of man and monster. But I have never known the meaning of devastation until today.

Artificers have built golems of Iron, bone, and clay but the ability to build a Colossus is lost to a forgotten area and with good reason. A lone standing Goliath whose shadow blocks the sun for a mile from its foot has stood silent vigil on the coast for centuries. But something horrible has awoken it. Something with intentions to change the face of this world forever.
The Colossus marches its unstoppable march forward. Forcing the Castle’s soldiers to attack as best they can, Leaping the 100s foot plummet to reach its shoulders and do what they can to return it to its eon’s slumber before it’s too late.
This map was a labor of love, My patrons asked for it and I put everything I had into making it. It was- well it was a lot more work than I realized. It required well over 100 hours and two full weeks to get to where it is now. I intended to include a “Win” phase where the Colossus falls before delivering the final blow, and maybe I will. But I hope artists out there can agree that sometimes it is better to just say “I need to be done”. I hope it’s well-received by the TTRPG community, but even if this dies in new, I’ll be proud I took the leap to make something, way out of my comfort zone, something I think is truly epic.
If you like this map, please consider sharing it with others. Word of mouth is the best way to keep doing insane time-consuming projects like this one.
If you hate it tell your enemies about it, really stick it to them. Everybody wins!
I find Celebrations a fascinating affair, A gathering of many people to venerate a single happening. Objectively positive, Yet when we review the historical record, Celebrations are often the beginning point of great conflict. Hmmm… I wonder if there is a causation.

A city of a certain size will have amassed many unique arcane specializations, But none more valued for holidays, festivals, and parades than the illusionist. The power to sculpt a vision so precise many would be fooled into believing it’s real is a power an entertainer can not afford to employ!
For this parade, the crown has spared no expense, and fireworks, Magic instruments, drifting spectral confetti, and delightful manifestations will run the streets to the delight of our citizens! So long as it all goes without a hitch, and that is what we have hired you to assure, this will be a day to remember!
This map is designed as a location where the players need to do something BEFORE combat, or better yet to prevent one. Like there might be someone in the crowd there trying to capture, an assassin who means to harm someone on one of the floats, etc. Included in this set are variants such as Gridless, HD, and Without the crowd. I also added a version with no crowd or floats, and one where only the “Royal float” is left. In case things go sideways so you have a lot of freedom with how you want to run the encounter!
What sort of encounter would you run on this map?

"A wedding is a magical day. Sometimes... too magical."
~ Ida Holly
A pair of love struck heroes have decided to preform an ancient ceremony and honor their love before friends, Family, and their adventuring party. and they take there vows under a local Gazebo... The Dread Gazebo. Ten phase encounter map.
This map is a touch goofier than my normal stuff, but that's the beauty of D&D, it's never wholly serious. The encounter starts with the players taking part in a Local Adventurer's wedding, When at the "I dos" a blustering wind causes a crossbow on the Gift table to fire. Shooting a single bolt over the gathered party goers. Which wakes a long slumbering Elemental. The Infamous Dread Gazebo, Which plows it's way to through the gathered crowd to the back, where it's attention shifts from violence, to cake. We've all been there.
This map was created in honor of my dear friend Chris and his new bride Geena. Both are wonderful people who each have played in one or more of my own games. I'm so glad they found each other. I hope them only the best and a perfect day without incident. (In real life at least!)
The wonderful art that inspired the encounter, was created by the Irreplicable John Sheppard.
I’ve always adored the Carnival, but there is something haunting about creatures of the world being forced to put on a show, It says something about its ringmaster I don’t care for… And perhaps something about the audience too…
~Ida Holly, Balatro’s Cartographer.
Be it the Rakdos, Witchlight, or a simple roadside show for the local peoples. The carnival attracts all kinds. This map is designed with the idea of a boss fight where in a Villainous ring master stands in the center, Orcistratiting a comical battle with the players and putting on a real show for the audience.
As the fight goes on I imagine clown cars unloading waves of jesters- perhaps even Nilbogs- To keep the players moving, Eventually the cages on the far south side of the map open allowing the Performing beasts to run amok.
I like the idea of the ringmaster forcing the players to do minigames, Like Trivia about their last adventure, or Quickly solving a maze before too many rounds pass. And those who fail become charmed. But how would you run an encounter on this map?
