Yawning Portal - D&D fan content
"The Yawning Portal is a famous inn and tavern located in the Castle Ward of Waterdeep. Adventurers can meet all sorts of colorful characters here.""Next to this gaping orifice hangs a winch with a simple rope-and-pulley mechanism that Durnan, the proprietor, uses to lower adventurers down the shaft and (sometimes) pull them up again."Rich blue tapestries decorated the wood-paneled walls of the common room, which consisted of a bar and tables of stout wood.This is what this famou...

FEYWILD ADVENTURES (CG) Part I and II.
Some of you might wonder why maps got released with a bit of a delay this month. The reason for this is a little fairy arriving into our family. Earlier this month my daughter was born and I failed my Wisdom saving throw and got charmed. Side effects are a few levels of exhaustion. Now you can understand and hopefully forgive me for turning all maps into pink.I have never created a Feywild map before. Not only because it’s been a wholly new world for me, but because this topic requires extra c...

OLD COBBLED ROAD IN SHADOWFELL (CG only free giveaway)
It's an old, misty road and an abandoned campfire site, perfect for your next random encounter if your players are that crazy to hang out in the Barovian wilderness.If players want to start a fire, try the included bonfire prop, which also works great as a general fire effect. This time you'll find the new .unity extension.Make sure you download the version for the right platform (Win, Mac). This will also be included in the default DLC soon and we are working on a bigger particle effect...
CASTLE RAVENLOFT - BACK OF THE KEEP

BROKEN BRIDGE BY THE FALLS (CG)
Last time I combined drone footage with the environment I created with 3d software. This time, I thought I’d give it a try to use only software, and I have to say I’m satisfied with the waterfall and the river - as they became very realistic and dreamy looking at the same time.There might be dangers lurking at the adventurers from the rocky elevations at both sides of the passageway to the north of the ruined bridge.Yet on the highest point, there’s the yawning entrance of a cave. What sec...

SURVIVING THE RAPIDS (CG tier level)
I take out the drone from time to time, this time I used footage that was taken at the Soca River in Slovenia at the end of summer. As you can see I was able to convert it to a snowy version.Combining drone videos with elements created with 3d software is quite a cool result, if you like it, I'll do something like this in the future.For playability, I made a scene on the hillside next to the riverand even an exclusive versionwhere I built a passage through the rivermade of snowy stones. As a...

UNDERDARK CASCADE (CG only free giveaway)
As usual, I createda more generic cavefor those not DMing LMOP. I named it Underdark Cascade, but it’s inclusive enough to be played in the Upper Realms, too — especially with the extra entrance prop.The poll you submitted proved to be of great use for me since I learned how it’s a great idea to add differences in ground levelto locations. Encounters can this way become more exciting and dangerous if enemy monsters can take advantage of high ground and other obstacles. Well, they most cert...
LMOP: WAVE ECHO CAVE - North Barracks, Smelter Cavern, Old Streambed, Collapsed Cavern, Temple of Dumathoin
I’m bringing you two of the probably most well-known locations of Wave Echo Cave - Smelter Cavern and the Temple of Dumathion and other adjacent rooms and areas."A blast furnace and a mechanical bellows powered by a waterwheel dominate this large chamber. The furnace is cold and dark, but heaps of coal are piled nearby, along with carts full of unrefined ore. The waterwheel sits in a ten-foot-wide channel cut into the floor of the room, but the channel is dry.""Six cracked marble p...
Deluged Cave / Magma Cave (patron only free giveaway)
The locations of the Wave Echo Cave are quite specific, but I was inspired to create variations, that have absolutely nothing to do with the locations of the original adventure. I named them Deluged Cave and Magma Cave.I will continue with both styles and make props that will serve as gateways through caves. A new modular cave system in this style would be pretty cool.Download link:Deluged Cave and Magma CaveThe autumn locations I released last time are quite appealing, so as an exclusive reward...
LMOP: WAVE ECHO CAVE - Great Cavern, Starry Cavern, Forge of Spells
I have brought you two new locations of Wave Echo Cave: firstly, the Great Cavern (area 9) and the Starry Cavern where adventurers can explore the Wizard’s Quarters and the Forge of Spells. (Areas 13,14,15)"Steep escarpments divide this large cavern into three sections-high ledges at either end, and a lower section in the middle. Carved stone stairs climb up to the ledges.""Glittering minerals in the ceiling of this large cavern catch the light and send it back to create the impres...

Wizard of Wines Winery - D&D FAN CONTENT
The Wizard of Wines was founded by a mage whose name is buried in the annals of history. The wizard fashioned three magic gems, each one as big as a pinecone, and planted them in the rich valley soil. These “seeds” gave rise to healthy grapevines, which produced sweet, plump grapes. The winery and vineyard are tended by wereravens who have been fending off frequent attacks by scarecrows, druids, and twig blights."Situated in the midst of the vineyard, the winery is an old, two-story ston...
ROCK CUT TEMPLE (CG tier level)
Today a desert, but once a wealthy land. Even though the realm has never been too fertile, if it has a strong ruler and a steady state the lands can grow rich, too. However, a firm and solid-state must stand on many grounds, and thus a powerful monarch needs some supernatural support, as well. This way the temple itself is an audience hall to a god. The temple sits in the valley of an old river that dried out aeons ago. Its walls had been carved out from the rock itself. After entering this sacr...
