Arachnophobia Warning
There are some very large, very menacing-looking spiders below!
Please don’t continue unless you are comfortable seeing them.

A horrifying arachnid large enough to threaten an entire town. What hope could five adventurers have?

Sinister Spider battle map - Banner - Large

You can thank Connor Johnston for this fresh horror! They modeled this creature after my old Colossal Crab and, like it, this comes with its own battle map: the Sinister Woodland. There you will find map variants with an open trapdoor and reaching webs.

Our spider also comes in two varieties: trapdoor and widow. They might be friends, but perhaps they are old rivals lording over two extremities of the woods? They might even hire adventurers in an attempt to consolidate the forest, appearing as a silver-tongued telepathic message urging them to “slay the terrible spider over yonder” – speaking of the other one, of course, for they themselves are the finest form a creature could take.

Whatever unsettling idea you come up with, we’d love to hear them in the comments! Have fun. 🙂

The Driftwood Cove Battle Map

Towering cliffs conceal potential dangers, a dark cave begs exploration, and the tide washes up forgotten riches. What stories will you tell?

The Cursed Oak Battle Map

Today I tried out something a little different. Not only by drawing a tree which, as anyone who has dabbled in art can tell you, is a trial by itself, but I also shifted the perspective quite drastically.
