More Tropics maps | June theme announcement (Patreon)

Hey all!

We're here with our third push of Tropics maps, including one of our most complex maps to date!

Herbal Hermit presents a quiet little cabin, made from surrounding materials and tucked away in a slightly more mountainous region of the jungle. Deep crevices and ravines split the area up, but that hasn't deterred the hermit - who has built their house in stilts straddling one of the ravines!

Foundry users are able to sneak underneath the hut if they want to arrive in stealth.

Camp Vengeance may be a familiar sight to some of you. This wooden palisade fortress may serve as a military outpost deep in the jungle down river. The heavy defenses are designed to keep out intruders - whether they be ravenous beasts, or mindless undead. The Better Roofs and Levels modules allow Foundry users to patrol the walkways to survey the surrounding jungle, or to head downstairs or into one of the tents to rest up. A night variant of this map is included, as well as blank versions if you want to fill the Fort with your own assets!

Finally, Volcano Shrine is a series of maps that stand on their own merits, but come together in the Foundry module to make one of our ambitious and complex encounter maps to date!

The scene begins with a jungle scene, featuring a deep volcanic pit where a shrine is visible:

Characters who brave the climb down (whether by rope or by magic!) will find themselves standing on a giant altar, suspended by enormous golden chains over the heart of the volcano:

From there, a series of bridges (both natural and carved) lead characters on a slightly winding path down to the base of the volcano, where several rocky outcrops and floating magma crust provides terrain for a climactic encounter:

This map makes heavy use of the Levels and Better Roofs modules to allow players to descend the 60ft from jungle floor to volcano bed. However, the pride of this map is that using the Token Attacher module we've turned it into a phased encounter map. Foundry users are able to activate 2 additional phases of the map, which causes the lava to begin to erupt and fill the chamber, cutting off bridges and consuming the platforms in the bottom chamber. Extra drama for your volcanic encounter!

We hope you enjoy these maps. We're always trying to find ways to bring you interesting new takes and encounters for use in your adventures!

The gallery has been updated with this content, as well as pCloud, which you can access through your Theme Master List and the Foundry VTT module is updated and ready to be downloaded.

Theme for June 2023

The team continue to be hard at work, with June's content nearing completion, and work actively being done on both July and August's themes! We're happy to announce that following on from Tropics, the next theme will be Pick'n'Mix!

For newer Patrons, we try to visit Pick'n'Mix 2 times a year. This is a theme that lets our artists try out various ideas they've been nursing, without being tied to a specific theme such as Jungles etc.

This next Pick'n'Mix instalment has some fantastic maps, including a Giant Koi Pagoda, a floating Dwarven Arena, a Viking Longhouse, and many more! We're looking forward to sharing it with you.
