Hey everyone!

Nothing drives innovation quite like prosperity and the people of Cragtown know this better than anyone else. With the discovery of coal in the canyons just outside of town, it was only a matter of time before they caught the eye of locomotive makers and every prospector worth their salt looking to make some coin. Before long, the coal mine had its own track, with crank operated mine elevators for the coal and tipple to easily load the coal onto train cars for transport.   
And with this new influx of prosperity came the attention of those who weren’t interested in making an honest dollar. The small mining town has found itself at the center of attention of entrepreneurs, bandits, and train robbers alike. With outlaws around every corner, the mines are well-guarded, and always in search of honest folk to aid in escorting their goods to safety. Will you be keeping the hard-earned coal safe, or taking your robber's share when the next shipment rolls out?

Let me tell you, this map has undergone a ton of changes! This started out as a Sulphur Lake designed for the Dracolich but somehow ended up as a Coal Mining Station! This is definitely our most meandering map in terms of its evolution. But luckily that means there's a whole variety of variations for you to choose from. And of course the tracks are built to fit the steam trains and lightning engines we've made.

Thanks to our friend Paulo over at Aanry's Book for helping us finish this map up. Go and check out their Patreon for new monthly 5e monsters.

For those of you not playing a Wild West type game there's desert canyons, lakes, sulphur lakes, craggy coasts, tar pits, impact crators, serene beaches and more in the variations!

We're still working on the Shadowfell Fortress and we've got a Japanese themed map coming next month, so look forward to those next month!

Running a campaign where magical meteors will be raining down in the desert setting were running through. Think I know which one will be used ;). Thank you and great work!

Holy smokes the Beneath the Waves variant is such a great tie in!

I haven't gotten to run a game in ages, but I'm still supporting you so that when the day comes, I can prep a campaign with content of this caliber and blow my players collective minds. 🤯💥

Awesome! My campaign is similar with meteor showers as a back drop. Would love to hear more about yours!

Oh wow! I had to go take a closer look. Hope this happens more often.

Great work!

Josh Rodell

Amazing. Now we just need another station, so that the train has somewhere to go.

This map would be a terrific one to use for the first Eberron AL adventure, The Night Lands.

We're planning more! Also now we have the tracks made, we can make variations using those in future.
