Patreon Poll: Upcoming Theme!
- Taiga 26
- Endless Wizard's Tower 2 21
- Underdark 59
Hey all!
We're about to release the first of this month's Pick'n'Mix 7 maps, and the team are already hard at work on the next several month's maps. But we do like to hear what you're keen to see, so we're running a poll where you can decide an upcoming future map theme once the content currently in development has been released!
Finding transitional maps between your biomes can often be a challenge, particularly when they're visually very different. Taiga would be a month of maps dedicated to creating maps that can convincingly be placed between your forest and arctic/frozen maps, without it being jarring for your players. Alpine, subarctic forest maps. Remote woodlands, roving hills, and chilling rivers.
For visual references, consider: Howling Fjord, Skellige, Tiragarde Sound
When we look back at our past themes, Endless Wizard's Tower always comes up as a theme that appears to be continually popular to this day, but also has a huge amount of potential for us to do much more with, now we've several more years of map making experience under our belts.
Endless Wizard's Tower 2 would bring you more of the same, only bigger and better; A month of additional towers, fully compatible with the existing tower rooms, expanding to new sorcerous locations, wizardly facilities, and bewitching encounters - all utilizing the modules and features of modern MAD maps.
For visual references, consider: Endless Wizard's Tower 1 gallery!
Although we have a large number of caverns and caves, and one or two maps that dip their toes into the realms lurking below - the Underdark undeniably has its own distinct vibe. This theme would see a month of underground caverns, strange glowing plant life, towering mushrooms, long-forgotten temples and strongholds, and much more.
For visual references, consider: Myconid Caverns, Baldur's Gate 3, Siofra River

This poll will run until shortly before the end of the month, and the winner will be announced with the final push of Pick'n'Mix 7 content!
Are there any specific maps you'd like to see with your vote? A future theme you'd like us to consider? Please leave a comment and let us know below - we read each and every one, and it really does inform our future decision making!
Until then,
Keep Rollin' those 20's, folks!
