It's nice to work on a good old black and white ma

It's nice to work on a good old black and white map every now and again. While the purpose of a black and white map is usually to allow to be printed in a book I enjoy added some textures to the map to make it stand out a bit more. What do you think of this one?⁠

Some of you may be familiar with the Blackmoor region, but this one is a little different. This map is based on a post apocalyptic version of that place. What places do you recognize?⁠

Deep in Mynn Forest lies the town of Vedrfolnir, capital of the Jarldom of Arendal and home of Jarl Arkyn. The road through the forest is dangerous and the nearby mountains is home to a giant bird of prey, and rumor says that Arkyn has control over it.
.
Vedrfolnir is by no means a secret city, but the roads that lead to it are dangerous and well protected, making it hard to reach for anyone that would try to assault it.
.
Recently the region has come under attack from hordes of goblins, leaving the nearby villages in ruins. Their people have come to Vedrfolnir, looking for shelter and protection. These people are welcomed outside the forests and escorted along the safest paths through the trees.
.
On most sides the town is surrounded by dense and dangerous forests, and the north are the foothills of the Geldenn Mountains, inhabited by various large birds of prey. The most dangerous of these creatures is a giant creature with a wingspan of some 30 meters. It lives in the mountains and terrorizes the creatures there. Some believe that it's the pet of Jarl Arkyn. Merely the idea of Arkyn turning his bird on an attacking force is enough to keep most invaders away.

Hey everyone! Let me present to you the Mine of Dr

Hey everyone! Let me present to you the Mine of Drakuun, the fourth map for the Merchants & Republics theme, link in bio.
.
For this map I worked together with @onepagemage who wrote an adventure to go with this map and @mcromusic who created an immersive soundtrack for the whole thing. Make sure to check out their work!
.
"There's trouble in the mine on Drakuun, but it should be easy for a seasoned group of adventurers. The Guild representative says a few Rust Monsters were spotted below, and they absolutely must be exterminated to prevent damage to tools and equipment. Remove the threat, and the Guild will pay well with valuable gold ore."

Earlier this year I worked with Jessica McSpadden

Earlier this year I worked with Jessica McSpadden for her novel "Praetorian Rising".⁠
.⁠
In a shattered reality filled with questions and secrets, the terrifying truth may not be who she is, but what.⁠
Camille Scipio awakens one morning remembering nothing of her life. The sword and bow feel like old friends as she eases into the safety and comfort of Sierra Village. Able to gut a squirrel in two seconds and hunt in the forest past curfew, she’s devastated when a mysterious beast attacks the village and mortally wounds the family she’s grown to love. The family she failed to protect.⁠
.⁠
Now, fleeing for her life, and hunted by the tyrannical High King of Aspera, Camille finds herself at a crossroad. Led by genetically superior assassins known as Praetorians, Camille struggles to understand her role in the new reality she’s forced into. As horrific memories threaten to consume her, Camille must make a choice: join the Rogue Rebellion or seek revenge against those who wronged her. Can she defeat the demons within and fight for freedom? Or will she slip into the darkness of her past?⁠
