Hey everyone, back again!

This map was almost entirely inspired by this painting by Antonio Joli:

The idea of these quaint farms in the shadow of a giant ruined temple just seemed too fantastical not to make into a battlemap. Some casual reminder that we're a living part of someone else's post-apocalyptic dream. 

We've made versions with the temple in all its former glory, some in ruins, as well as some without the temple at all. Perhaps you can have the temple as the haunting ground of a vengeful deity, angry their statues have been defiled. Or the location of a revival cult hurridly digging up the bones of the god resting beneath the flagstones. Or onlookers to a temple burning, floods and shifting sands. Or maybe just use the plains version for a harvest market. :3

If you have other ideas, let us know! (remember we're always making Encounter Cards for our maps. If you have any ideas for this map, come share them on #community-map-lore on the Discord.

Oh and this map was purposefully similar in style to our Windmill Farm map so you can connect those up! Enjoy!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE GREEK TAG

Loottavern

I love this one ! Very charming. Great job

I guess with Minotaur, Medusa and the Plague Temple we're collecting a bit of a theme.

Now design some charming items to go with it! Time we do another collaboration. :)

Damn... this would've been PERFECT for the Chauntea temple my group just entered yesterday. I used a really good map there, but this would have been 100% match, with the fields and everything. Anyway, amazing work as always... and I'm sure there'll be another time for this map to be used 😁

Flood is PERFECT for a setting with a Ponyo drowned world vibe. I adore this set!

Re: The Massacred Temple You see a Temple in the distance and Summer trees bearing a strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black charred bodies swingin' in the late Summer breeze Strange fruit hangin' from the late Summer trees Their bulging eyes and the twisted mouths A Scent of magnolias so sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the tree to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop I am going to be trying something new by describing this map in the form of a song/poem to my players; I am trying to make the Cult so vile and disgustingly evil, that they have lynched this poor Temple of Chauntea. I am trying to portay something so atrocious that anyone with a concious and no ties to this even could not and would not let it stand. Thank you for the amazing work!

I have a session tomorrow where I *might* need a farm scene, and the Plains variants are *exactly* what I'll need if it comes to it. How did y'all know?!

Bet ! Lemme just get this kickstarter out of the way before I die haha
