Zen Monastery
Hi everyone!We hope this zen scene brings you inner peace. Until you unleash the monsters upon your players!We revisited our Battlemap variations for this one and we thought that recreating our Giant Catfishwould potentially be a fan favourite. We really hope you enjoy it. Hopefully it can become a guiding familiar for your party.--Czepeku TokensHere's another sneak peak at Czepeku Tokens. Here are some different sketching ideas for various backpacks of a lost shepherd. Czepeku Tokens was an...
Chthonic Lighthouse
Hi everyone!Here's our Chthonic Lighthousescene! We like to imagine that this was built by deep dwarves down in the dark seas below the earth.This lighthouse stands on the edge of an immense nethersea. Some say it was abandoned by the dwarves years ago, that they were forced out by fierce storms, spawning krakens or giant fungi, whatever the true story is, the lighthouse now stands here alone, blinking into the night of a starless sky.Ultimately you can use this however you like in your stor...
Jungle Temple Entrance
Hi everyone!Your months of exploring through the dense jungle foliage have led you to this. The entrance to an ancient Jungle Temple. We hope that this scene will provide an intense reveal for your players. We really wanted to evoke a classic Jungle Adventure feel with both this map and scene!If you're looking for ideas on what to throw at your players once they get inside, you could definitely spring some traps in some of our temple interior maps:Temple of the CouatlNecropolis DungeonTemple...
Tranquil Apiary
Hi everyone :)Here's our next scene from our Starter Village Series! It's always nice to have an option for your players to visit somewhere pleasant during downtime.We'resure you'll find some delicious honey and fresh, crusty bread here. Enjoy breathing in the sweet lavender air and be sure to defend it against any nefarious monsters who might seek to disturb the peace.Ryan from our team can't wait to use this one as the Hall of Beorn in his One Ring Campaign!--Reminder that ...

Desert Caravanserai
Hi everyone!Welcome to the Desert Caravanserai! Now what is a CaravanseraiI hear you ask? They're roadside inns where weary travellers can properly rest up for a night or two before carrying on their treks through the desert.In an RPG setting, an idea for this scene might be somewhere for your party to shelter during a sandstorm, or perhaps they snuck into the Caravanserai whilst Djinn and Desert Bandits were prowling around the perimeter.When we created this scene, we really wanted to focus...
Alchemy Dungeon
Hey everyone!Welcome to the Alchemy Dungeon! The original mapwas based around the idea of an underground laboratory of an Alchemist or Wizard concocting their strange experiments deep below the ground.Why not try and hint to your players that climbing into one of the boiling tubes is a great idea? Who knows what magic they'll become imbued with...The music in the preview for this scene is 'Ritual Forge' from our good friend Will at Music d20.--We've announced our newest project: ...
Tutelary Turtle Island
Hey everyone!When we created this map, we imagined the location to be a fey-imbued floating chapel. Perhaps star crossed lovers would travel here for a moonlit wedding away from prying eyes.Our turtle friend here will slowly travel the waterways of the world guided purely by its sense of where it's needed most. Over the many centuries of diving, navigating storms and rough seas, most of the chapel has collapsed, but the altar still stands for those ill-fated lovers who are in need of help.Wi...
Lair of the Elder Brain
Hi everyone!This is our next BBEG Scene. We hope you feel suitably intimidated within the Lair of the Elder Brain!This was also our first ever Boss Map almost 5 years ago now back in 2019. The theme being a mysterious and ancient lair deep within the Underdark. The Brain itself plotting destruction from within this giant hollowed skull whilst feasting on minds offered by its minions.We really hope you enjoy the variations for this scene too. Our personal favourites are the Mind Worm and we'r...

Windmill Farm
Hi everyone!We're fairly sure that both the Windmill Farm mapand scene could fit into almost any campaign!This idyllic windmill with a pastoral landscape, complete with crops and animals to keep the farm up and running. Hopefully your party enjoy a few nights here or perhaps they could even spend a summer here. Farms always need able bodies and capable fighters to fend off those pesky bandits.The music in the preview for this scene is 'Ritual of the Dawn' from our good friend Will at...
Beach Town
Welcome back to this pleasant little beach town. The Beach Town mapwas inspired by several real world locations. When we created the scene, we wanted to provide GM's with several potential options with ways to include this in their games.We wanted to give them options leading out towards sea by showing the coastline, but also perhaps this could set the scene for a shady deal hiding down below the pier, or perhaps this is how your players will be introduced to their next town setting after ar...
Japanese Castle
This scene has been heavily requested ever since we released the Japanese Castle Map! Hopefully this will give your players the majestic approach that the castle deserves.I'm sure it won't be long until they're defending it from waves of samurai or oni!Please enjoy and keep your daimyo safe from all those pesky ninja.The music in this preview is 'Ako' from Music d20!--Get this week's scenes using the links below:Japanese Castle- $1 RewardsJapanese Castle - $5 Rewards - Al...

Forbidden Gates
Hey everyone!The Forbidden Gates battlemapwas originally designed to accompany our Mountaintop Observatorybattlemap. We wanted to give the same feeling with our scene. Our plan was to give a scale of the monstrous gates, but then in the background just give a hint of the majestic mountain range stretching off into the sky beyond.The idea for the gate itself came from prayer wheels. We had this cool concept that as they spun they would pull the gate open, so there was this relationship between th...

Archaeological Dig
Hey everyone :)This has been a highly requested scene for quite some time now! The long buried ruins of a fight to the death with this monstrous dragon. We wanted to make the dragon a little more magical and vivid than a normal fossilised skeleton. In the sunlight you'll see glittering shimmering shards emanating from every bone. Perhaps there's still magic to be harnessed here?Enjoy!The music in the preview is 'The Spirit Nest' from Borough Bound!--Get this week's scenes usi...
Peaceful Village Church
Hi everyone!Welcome to the Peaceful Village Church! This flint roundtower church is inspired by a very similar building in Cze's hometown. We like to think that this will fit quite easily into any fantasy setting!We're really enjoying creating these cosy interior scenes too and we have plenty more to come over the next few months!We'll have a new Scenes poll up soon, so here's your final chance to get your suggestions into the 'Scenes Suggestions' channel in the Discord!T...
Beachside Bazaar
Hey everyone, welcome to the Beachside Bazaar!Back when we designed the Beachside Bazaar map, Peku's original idea was that the Kuo-Toa lived here a long long time ago and built giant fish statues here to their deities. Some unknown event forced them out of the region and soon traders came to settle in this peaceful beachside valley. The Kuo-Toa temples ages and crumpled and were soon replaced with shops, watchtowers and a lighthouse to guide in ships.In their reverential fear of the mysteri...
Dragon's Hoard
Hi everyone :)We created a scene for a classic fantasy staple this month. This of course is the Dragon's Hoard! Now, you just need to decide which one of your party is going to head in first to check there's no slumbering dragon waiting for you!Good luck with those treasure hungry players too, they're about to get everything they could ever hope for. Perhaps you could even treat them to a Mimic encounter!Enjoy!The music in the preview is from our good friend Will Savino! The track is...
Village Bakery
Hey everyone!Welcome to the Village Bakery, this is where you can get all your delicious baguettes, buns and a selection of delicate pastries. Just inhale the aroma of that fresh crusty bloomer on the counter!We're really pleased that we have a nice amount of 'Starter Village' scenes building up now for you all. We may even have one more before the end of May! We can't wait to hear how you fit the Cat Cafe into your stories!As always, the music in the preview is from our good fri...
Rebel Camp
Hi everyone!When we created the Rebel Camp battlemap, we thought of the layout as a last stand of rebels trying to defend their territory. With the scene we wanted to give a nice approach to the palisade walls and watchtowers.We thought this could also be used as a bandit camp, village entrance, or small military base. We've included some normal camp variations too which we hope you'll find useful!The music in the preview video is 'Northern Tales' by our good friend Will Savino, ...
War Room Interior
This has been a highly requested scene for a while! The War Roomis a place for generals to plan their battles and strategies. Orof course it could be a place for meddling adventurers to disturb planning sessions and potentially change the course of history!We angled the view of this scene directly from the perspective of someone sitting at the planning table as we thought it would be nice to make this scene useable as a landing screen for your own games! Drop in your own maps on either the board...
Colossus Port
Hey everyone!The azure ocean reaches its end once it meets the Colossus Port. Visible from miles around, this monumental statue watches over the coastline to guide home friends, and ward away enemies.This original map was loosely based on the Colossus of Rhodes. One of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World created all the way back in 280 BC. So hopefully this'll be a good map if you're playing a classical or ancient world era game.We really hope you enjoy introducing your players to the por...
Motte and Bailey Castle
Hi everyone!The map was requested for many years, and since we released it, it's also been a highly requested scene! As with the map, we wanted to be sure that we included lots of life to the scene with resident heron's, ducks and willow trees swaying in the wind.You could either set this scene up as a potential raid on this medieval village, your players could visit for a shopping spree with the village traders, or perhaps you could even use it as a home base option!The track in the pre...
Train Station Approach
Hi everyone!This scene has been fun to put together! We've made several train focused battlemaps like Train Station Concourseand Train Station Platformsbut we thought it would be great if we could create a scene to introduce people to the hustle and bustle of the train station from the outside!We also made several 'No Crowd' versions too just in case you'd prefer to introduce your players to a more quiet scene, including animated versions too!The track in the preview is 'On t...
Fey Tavern
Hi everyone!We had a lot of requests for more Tavern Scenes and more Fey Scenes! So here's one to tick both of those options for you!Will you shrink your players down to meet tiny folks within a tree trunk? Or is this a normal sized tavern deep within the feywilds? Either way, we're sure the bartender will be happy to make you a tasty cocktail!The song in the preview is 'Dreams of Cinnamon' from Music d20's Mini's Volume 4! Check it out!Enjoy!--Get this week's scenes ...
