Vampire Mansion

Veiled in perpetual dusk, the manor stands in eerie silence, its towering spires piercing the storm-laden sky. Within its shadowed halls, chandeliers burn with an unnatural glow, illuminating nobles who never age, their crimson smiles hinting at the hunger lurking beneath their whispered invitations.

Welcome to the Mansion Map Pack! It features 12 total prison maps, including grand dining rooms, bedrooms, gardens, and much more.

Well I've finally got a new group going! Gonna be playing some Monster of the Week and I get to be the Keeper! Decided to make a Google-maps style map of the fictional town that it's set in and got my players to send me some business/location names to fill some of it in.

Race against time to save this city from burning down!

This map features 8 phases, which shows a fire spreading through a city. The flames only affect homes made out of wood, while the stone buildings could potentially be safe spaces for your characters to take refuge.

This map pack includes gridded/ungridded versions and a Foundry VTT module with walls and lighting.

These are playable maps I make into blankets and rugs for the small adventurers in your life!

They are definitely inspired by all the beautiful ttrpg maps I have encountered - and in fact, I got to do a collab with one of my favourite mapmakers, Evlyn Moreau, where I painted one of her glorious doodle maps, Cozy Land:

They were created with the kids in my life in mind - so much so that the first one, the Realm of the River Dragon, was drawn in my sketchbook with both my nephews in my lap giving me very important instructions:

The most amazing part of making these has been getting them into kids' hands and hearing what they make with them - stories and worlds, characters and creatures, jokes and quests, it's all amazing!

This past christmas break my youngest nephew took me and his little figurines on a quest where we portaled from the wizard tower to the other maps and back again, picking up treasure and friends and pets along the way, and that's exactly what I dreamed these maps could do for kids!

And over the years I have had different chances to offer these for sale - online, locally, at conventions - and the absolute best part of that is when folks reach out later to tell me how the maps have been used in their home.

So huge thanks to everyone who's brought one of these home and shared them with their small adventurers, storytellers and otherwise creative creatures! You inspire me to keep making these!

And on that note, I have a promise to make: I am going to have a new playmap this year - aiming for a spring release actually! And it will be space themed, for all the kids I've talked to this year who's heads are not just in the clouds, but fully up in orbit half the time.

I've got a few different roughs done, exploring different ideas and approaches; here's probably my most readable one so far:

And I have a favour to ask: if you have one of my maps at home, would you be up for emailing me any feedback you and your family/friends have on the design? I am always learning how to make these more playable and fun, and if there's a favourite way to play in your house, I'd love to hear about it!

Also, if you have any photos of maps in use that you are comfortable sharing, those are amazingly helpful too, but no pressure! My email is shel (at) portablecity (dot) net

And thanks again for the support with these! I'm really excited to add to my map library this year and I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

The Dimwood!

I’ve been really into Legends of Avantris this month! I started out with Uprooted, and then listened to their Root RPG campaign, and now I’m on the Witchlight campaign :) I really enjoyed both the Root campaigns, so I figured I’d use this time to draw the Dimwood map since I can’t do anything digital right now. This one was just an outrageous amount of trees, but it was fun to make!!

^ This is my version of The Nightcap recreated in Dungeondraft. Now, I did have to add a few extra things to fill out space like a few extra tables and seating, and a few plants for decor. Otherwise? I tried to make it as close as possible. I didn't add the little office room from Case 0, but I can add that later if there's a want for it. :3
