10 Encounters At Sea

Your party now sails the seas, whether as hired crew or captaining their own ship, and encounters await them!

Maybe you’re preparing to use our d20 chart (coming soon), after inspiration to run Ghosts of Saltmarsh, or crafting your own campaign. To help you along, here are some expanded explanations for the encounters featured in our Ocean Encounters d20 Chart. Under each of them you will find a more detailed description of the encounter’s context, followed by tips and advice. This should give you all the ideas and guidance you need to make the encounters your own and run them in your game.

Ocean Surface Assets & Shipwreck Map

What began as some drafting for the Ocean Monster Tokens (more on that below) became this sea-themed asset pack. If you like a little clutter on your ocean waves, this is the pack for you!

Viking Ship Maps

Heil og sæl, everyone!

I wanted to experiment with my own assets and, having recently finished God of War, I decided to choose viking ships as my theme.

How To Build Your Own Ship Map

In this short and punchy guide I will show you, step by step, how to build your own ship map like the one below. I recorded the process (you will see snippets below) and it took me only eight minutes on my first attempt. And if I can do it, so can you!

How I Became An RPG Map Artist

I have been a world builder for as long as I can remember. I wrote stories as a kid, dreamt of creating monstrously huge video games alone as a teenager, and always, always drew. Nothing much came of it though, as none of these things quite clicked with me.

There is not much of a role-playing presence in my corner of Australia, but fate introduced me to the game during a trip to Canada in 2013. All of a sudden I had a way to bring these worlds to life with the skills I had, and overnight I became a fledgling game master and map artist.

The Lighthouse

A soaring, secluded structure that still stands stubborn and solemn, staring out into the silver southern seas.

Seaside Precipice

Stretching out over a turbulent sea is this rain-washed precipice, the pivotal site of all those stories they tell in town…

Airships & Assets

This project really *blew up,* and took a few days longer than I thought. No matter, the resulting airships are done and ready to set sail in your Eberron, Spelljammer, or steampunk game.

The Highland Pass

Though you won’t find it on any maps, many a traveller has rested beneath the outspread arms of this nameless statue. Unfortunately, there are those that will take advantage of the peaceful atmosphere…

The Cursed Cave

At the end of an icy stream looms an enormous skull of stone. Very few dare approach it, and those that do are changed…

Hero Tokens Pt.3

Twenty new hero tokens just came to the 2-Minute Tokens Editor! That makes fifty heroes of all shapes and sizes so far, ready for a coat of paints and a whirl around your virtual table top.

River & Water Assets

By popular request, I have finally got to making some river assets! This pack contains fifty of them, with three tiling water textures and a collection of other watery assets.

@Kurasinski’s Prints

“Two maps and two ships ready for epic RPG session with old friends. Lots of time, glue & cardboards 😉 Thanks Ross!”

Buzzard Cliff

A long time ago, someone erected these three large stones, and nobody has cared (or dared) to topple them yet. A certain feeling accompanies them, perhaps aided by the sea of fog that appears here on nearly every morning…

Hero Tokens Pt.2

The Custom Token Editor just received its second content pack, featuring 20 new heroic tokens. They’re ready for recoloring right now, so click through and have fun!

Grass & Road Assets

Several seamless ground textures and a bunch of assets to lay roads with in your image editor of choice. Basic printable PDFs also included!

Papercraft Cottage 3D Battle Map, 3D Preview

The Papercraft Cottage

I wanted to kick the New Year off with something new. And yes, I’ve made a papercraft house before, but this new cottage holds a secret!

The Volcanic Forge

Here’s a nice, hot battle map to warm you up this holiday season! Welcome to the Volcanic Forge, the birth place of your world’s legendary MacGuffin.

The Town & City Tokens

Built on the back of last week’s Poacher’s Crest map we have our Town & City Tokens pack. Inside you will find 143 buildings, trees, wagons, and other assets!

Poacher’s Crest Town Map

Poacher’s Crest, a thriving trade town at the meeting of the King’s Road and the winding Lynham river. Known for its excellent apples, vibrantly dyed fabrics, smoked game meats, and the fine metalwork of its master whitesmith, Tylsit Burkham.

Wonderdraft Map Icons

Hello again! I’m back from my vacation and have just finished packaging these icons for image editor and Wonderdraft use. You can find the download method at the bottom of this post. 🙂

The Provinces of Wei

Welcome to the lands of Fara Wei, or simply “Wei.” I’ve been meaning to draw this for a long time, as it just so happens to be the setting of my own 3+ year old campaign!

The Underdark Terrain Tokens

Hello everyone, the tokens are finally here to accompany our Cave Room Builder pack! Inside you will find 141 tokens of varying bio-luminescence and underdark-y-ness, from mundane rocks to plane-tearing crystals, your everyday mushroom to nirnroot-er, blue ferns.
