Czepeku Alchemy Patreon Integration!

Hi everyone!We've been talking about redeeming our maps on Alchemyfor quite some time now. Hopefully you'll understand why this has taken a little more time than we'd originally expected.

Map Poll #44

New map poll for June! We may even run a second one because we've had a LOT of good suggestions!You can vote for as many options as you like. :)If you have suggestions for the next poll comejoin the discussion in the Map Suggestionsroom on our community Discord! We often get a lot of map ideas from there which get turned straight into maps if we think they're interesting.It may also be that your suggestion isn't on here because we're already making it!

Fallen Ancient Tree [33x46]

Hey everyone,We thought this would be an awe inspiring sight to come across whilst trekking the desert. This giant tree has long collapsed and now the local fauna and flora has begun to colonise it. Even explorers are setting up camp around its base, they might be able to give you rumours of lost treasures or point the way to the nearest oasis.We thought that this could be connected to our Yggdrasil seriesbut set far in the future. Or is maybe just another world tree that hasn't fared so wel...

Magisters Market [33x46]

Spring is in full swing in the Northern Hemisphere and we wanted to bring you a bright, open-air market space for your campaigns. Bright stone, gorgeous tiling, and a cool blue fountain are hallmarks of the Magisters Market.There's plenty to learn and discover here - each tent houses a learned individual with stories to tell, quests to give, and secrets to keep.We hope you and your players will love this market square and the variations.This map was inspired a painting of a Spanish marketpla...

Fairy Treetop Village [34x48]

Hey everyone!A treetop walkway village has long been requested. Hopefully this fits the bill! We designed it to fit a fairy village theme but you can use it for any sylvan or fey creatures, like Wood Elves or a Dryad Collective. Trees are gnarled places and we wanted it to feel a bit unstable, high in the branches, curving and recurving over itself, less like our orderly roads down on the ground. Just try to not fall off!Also, we're still looking for some freelance writers to help us with so...

Imperial Bath Complex [33x52]

Hey everyone!We haven't made an ancient world themed map in a while so we thought we'd attempt a Graeco-Roman bathhouse. We've taken liberties with the layout to make it more interesting to explore.You can theme the different baths as healing springs or ways to give your players temporary bonuses or auras. Or use the map as a place to meet important senators or shady crime bosses, everyone corrupt likes to hang out at the bathhouse! You could even make this place more solemn and have...

Celestial Chapel Interior [33x53]

Hey everyone!This is a follow up to the Celestial Chapel Exterior and the next part in our Celestial Mountain series. Here we find the interior of the Celestial Chapel, plague and madness have ravaged the former monks that lived here. The library is mostly intact, filled with esoteric texts on holy mountaineering, hierarchies of angels, and plane of order and beauty.A few candles burn on but mostly it is a place of silence and solemnity. That is, except for a single tome, placed on the altar tha...

Fey Tavern - Animated Battlemap

Please check out the link for more great tracks!And of course, join us on Discord to let us know what you think of this new animated map. :)Get all base animated maps, Foundry VTT and EncounterPlus versions HERE

Tropical Island Village [33x46]

Hey everyone!Welcome to the pristine shores of this serene Tropical Island Village. As you approach, you breathe in the salty breeze carrying scents of hibiscus and earthy aromas from surrounding forests.It's incredibly relaxing to design a peaceful, welcoming map. We like to think that peace transfers to players when they arrive at a relaxing scenario rather than the doom and gloom of a looming boss! Perhaps it's the opposite though, plenty of people we've played with would absolute...

Celestial Chapel [33x46]

Hi everyone :)This map is the first in a new series we’re making. It’s going to focus around a journey to the Celestial Mountain. The series will generally have a Heavenly/Olympian/Elysian vibe. Cze had Olympus, Sinai and Mount Analogue in mind when designing the series, but if you want to take your players to DnD’s Mount Celestia these should be a good fit!This first map is the exterior of the Celestial Chapel. Within this small monastery chapel, monks diligently study the old manuscripts...

Salt Plains Observatory [33x46]

Hi everyone!Welcome to the Salt Plains Observatory! We worked on this map in collaboration with our friends at Borough Boundfor their final 12th release of Elseridge Academy,the Magic School at the End of the World!This fort sits around a dozen miles from Elseridge. Created by a cabal of extradimensional entities, it's enchanted so that only those who already know it is there will see it. Young Warlocks can learn forbidden magicks here from their chosen masters without being watched by the p...

Hell's Cocktail Lounge [33x48]

Hi everyone!Welcome back to Hell!Specifically, the classy part of hell where demons will serve you up incredibly delicious cocktails. Just don't think too much about the aftertaste of 'soul' and you'll certainly be able to enjoy some of your time here.Whoever knew that eternal damnation could be delivered with a flaming tequila shot?This map was so much fun to put together and we really hope you enjoy squeezing this into your campaigns somehow. We have more tavern maps still to c...

Jousting Tournament [33x46]

Hi everyone!We hope you're all having a good weekend so far! We'd like to introduce you to the Jousting Tournament! Impress the nobles by showing your best jousting moves, just be sure not to veer off into the tilt rail!We really had a lot of fun coming up with variation ideas for this one. Are your players likely to have a duel? Perhaps a melee brawl whilst balancing on a floating platform? Maybe even a good old nondescript game of Broom Ball?Whichever version you choose, we hope you al...

Printed Czepeku Maps Poll

Hey everyone!We hope you're all doing well. :)It's been long requested that we do large format prints of our maps, like these ones seen on Critical Role. The issue we've always had is that our maps are HUGEif we want the grid to fit the standard 1 inch mini base. For instance the Cathedral Interior is 42x90 inches / 1.06 x 2.28 meters / 3.5 x 7.5 feet. Which is taller than most people. For that reason we need to use special large format printers to print them, because they're big...

Alchemy District [30x46]

Hi everyone!Here's our first map release for April! You can expect some quicker releases for the rest of the month. Both me and Peku have had incredibly busy starts to the month but now we're back to it!Without further ado, let us introduce you to the Alchemy District. The forerunners of chemistry in this city, the Alchemists Alliance concern themselves purely with the transmutation of matter. Although their experiments are certainly not for monetary gain, the ability to convert common m...

Nightmare Dragon Lair Animated

Hey everyone!We animated the Tranquil Apiary last month, so we thought we'd animate the absolute opposite this month! Please welcome your players to the Nightmare Dragon Lair!The music in the video above is 'Camp Clearwater Massacre (Rock)' by the amazingly talented Will Savino. Please check out the link for more great tracks!And of course, join us on Discord to let us know what you think of this new animated map. :)Get all base animated maps, Foundry VTT and EncounterPlus versions H...

Trainwreck Village [35 x 53]

Hey everyone!This is an idea I've had bouncing around in my head for a long while. I like the idea of the survivors of a trainwreck being forced to convert the wreckage of the vehicle into a new home whilst awaiting rescue. The desert mountain is trecherous and there's cactigoblin raids at night, so the survivors have used the wreckage defensively to survive until help arrives.--Get this week's maps using the links below:Trainwreck Village - $1 RewardsTrainwreck Village - $3 RewardsT...

Wizard Prison Part 5 [41x56]

Hey everyone!It's time to we go deeper.Here's the next part of our Wizard Prison. If you've been keeping up with this series already, you'll have seen our first four releases. We like to think your players will have already lost their sanity getting this far. So good luck to them in this maze. We highly recommend using the Boon of Deceit variation too to mess with them!Once they've gotten through the maze tongue they'll find out what's in the belly next!You can find e...

Tomb of Sand Interior [27x67]

Hey everyone!This is the long awaited follow up to our popular Tomb of Sand map. We played around with a lot of designs for this one and it took us a while to settle on this one, so we hope you like it!We imagined this place as a grand mausoleum, similar to something like the Taj Mahal, ornate and solemn. The focus in this tomb is time and sand magic.The main idea is that the tomb you're in is itself within the grand hourglass within the tomb. Recursively. Throughout the map there are also 6...

Map Remixing Contest 3 Poll!

Hey everyone! Last month we ran our third patron-only map-remixing contest and the time has come for the final poll to decide the winner!We had 12 entrants this year and we want to say thank you so much to everyone who decided to take part! Every map remixing contest we've run so far has been so much fun to see.We can really tell how much effort has gone into each of these maps too, there are some definitely budding cartographers out there!--We've added previews below but you can downloa...

Tranquil Apiary - Animated Battlemap

Hey everyone!This month we've animated our Tranquil Apiary Battlemap! A nice peaceful scene for when your weary travellers just need to settle for a little while. Fresh baked bread and homemade honey awaits you!The music in the video above is 'Leafhollow' by the amazingly talented Will Savino. Please check out the link for more great tracks!And of course, join us on Discord to let us know what you think of this new animated map. :)Get all base animated maps, Foundry VTT and Encounter...

Village Farmhouse [33x46]

Hey everyone!Welcome to the village farmhouse! This is our last planned map in the Starter Village series. We really hope you've enjoyed this series! Folks have suggested a library and some other concepts, but we'd prefer to start making an east asian style village, or maybe one inspired by middle eastern/north african architecture. So we think this is enough for this series for now.Personally I think this would be a great place to meet with an old mentor, or a retired advernturer who&#3...

Impending Waterfall [22x55]

Hey everyone!This is a classic action scenario. The fast rapids are carrying the heroes down the river at high speeds and there are so many things they could jump onto or cast a slingshot to, if only the boat wasn't being tossed around so roughly! Will the plucky adventurers manage to jump off their rickity raft before crashing down the waterfall? Find out next session!You can make the task even more difficult for the players by having a sabateur in the boat or archers firing at the heroes f...

Underground Dwarven City Centre [34x57]

Hey everyone!This has been a long suggested map, so we hope you like it! This is the bigger and bustling underground counterpart to the Overground Dwarven City Centre we made a few months back.Special boats cut through the lava rivers ferrying goods and people from area to area in the city. For those stopping off at this particular port there's a market by the lavaside, leading up to a grand ceremonial forge, with many more shops and homes branching out from there.--Get the matching animated...

Hanging Gardens - Animated Battlemap

Hey everyone!This month we've animated our Hanging Gardens battlemap! Tranquil greenery and the calm splashing of waterfalls awaits you. Perhaps something more sinister looms at the top, threatening this paradise?The music in the video above is 'the Auction House' by the amazingly talented Will Savino. Please check out the link for more great tracks!And of course, join us on Discord to let us know what you think of this new animated map. :)Get all base animated maps, Foundry VTT and ...

Iron Age Hamlet [30x54]

Hey everyone!Welcome to the iron Age Hamlet! After doing research for the Motte and Bailey we started looking back further in time and found some great reconstructions of iron age settlements, very basic, mostly palisades and thatch and log buildings. We wanted to depict something of that simplicity, before the roads widen and straighten and the buildings beoming bigger. Maybe you can use it for trading, or help them repair their homes and prepare for the winter. :)--If you've been following...

Lich Catacomb [40x50]

Hey everyone!This is the next part in our Grand Cathedral series!To remind you, we have the Grand Cathedral Entrance, then inside the Grand Cathedral Interior, which has spiral stairs leading down to the Grand Cathedral Crypt.The throughline idea we have for this series is based around angels defending the world from the forces of demons. In the Cathedral there's a statue of an archangel fighting off demons and protecting a sacred orb.That sacred orb is said to be a portal between our world ...
