2 Year Patreon Anniversary - Custom Map Competition! (Patreon)
Content
UPDATE - WINNERS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!
Thanks so much everyone for your fantastic ideas, I will definitely be keeping some of these in my back pocket for later.
I have randomly selected 3 winners from the list, and they are:
Connor Merritt - 'A castle that players could use as a home base, that can also be used in a siege.'
Xandria - 'Hidden away from prying eyes and the general public, ensconced within a dense forest and fortified by illusions and magical creatures, rests an ancient cluster of magnificent trees. Each massive tree supports one or more chambers for specific purposes; a library, dining area, meeting room, a caretaker's private domicile, laboratory, a few rooms for visitors to stay, and a bathing room. While furnishings and decor are both elegant and functional, their colouring are earth tones, befitting its visitors and inhabitants.'
Steve Hupert - 'An unassuming warehouse district building that under closer observation garners more foot traffic than other surrounding buildings. Further exploration (or by invitation) reveals that this is simply the front building for the headquarters of a powerful thieves guild.'
Congratulations to the winners! I will be messaging each of you separately to get more details. These maps will then be posted next month for everyone to enjoy.
---------------------------------------------------------
To celebrate my 2 year anniversary on Patreon next month, I am offering a chance to commission a custom map from me for your home game.
To enter, leave a comment on this post with a short one to two line description of your map concept. I will then choose 3 winners at random from everyone who comments on July 14th. Entries after this date will not be accepted.
Entries will be weighted depending on how long you have been a Patron. For each month you have been pledged you will get an additional chance.
I will then create the 3 winning maps next month to be released to everyone.
A few rules and additional pieces of information:
- The competition is for standard 5ft/inch scale battlemaps, of a similar size to my regular map set releases.
- I cannot replicate existing maps by other artists or create maps based on existing TTRPG products. The commissions must be your own original concept.
- Please be as specific and descriptive as you can, and include important features. General requests like 'a castle map' will not be considered. Requests like 'A crumbling castle in the middle of a forest. Two tall towers overlook a dried up moat. Beneath the ruined great hall is a long forgotten tomb.' are encouraged.
- After the winners are chosen, I will contact you for more information. This must be sent to me no later than July 21st. I will then send a draft sketch for your input before creating the finished map.
The more information you can give me the better! Written descriptions, hand drawn layouts and reference images are all very useful. - I will fulfil your requirements to the best of my abilities, but may take some artistic license.
- Commissioned maps are for personal use only. I retain all commercial and intellectual rights to the creation, and the maps will be subject to my standard licensing terms.
Good luck! I can't wait to see what you all come up with.
