Hi everyone!

Wanted to run a quick post by you all! What variations would you prefer for my releases? Would you like regular map variations, or phased map variations? I.e. would you prefer variations as just separate, unconnected maps, or would you like to keep receiving phased variations where different scenarios play out?

Your phased maps are awesome! In my opinion, giving 3 to 9 variations of a map is good and give choices, but I will only ever use one of the 9 for an encounter. If you were to offer regular map variations, maybe you offer maps that lead up to the phased map room... like a dungeon connected to the phased map or something.

I would love to offer additional maps, but since I draw everything by hand, developing a single map takes a lot of time. I'll give it a thought though. If anything, maybe I can give you all an extra map on occasion.

I really love the idea of the phased maps, but i think like…if my players are on a ship thats sinking, if i can implement a phased map thats cool, but i can also narrate that. Vs if you offer a basic 2 level ship and ones interior is a big cargo ship used by smugglers and the other is like a cruise liner with loads of individual rooms and is just like a maze. And then you put both on sea maps and both on astral sea maps…im going to have more instances to use that. So if theyre what you enjoy, i say keep doing them, but if its about whats economical for your time…id say it might be something to consider? But i still certainly wouldnt rule them out completely.

Thanks for your feedback. I will certainly never stop making phased maps. That's what people came here to support me for, that's what people expect of me. Phased maps are the singular reason my Patreon has grown to where it is. And I also enjoy making them, so they will never go away. But if some simple static variations will make it easier for folks to incorporate my maps into their games, then I am all for it. I don't even think I will ever 100% stop doing phased map variations either, just maybe some variations will be replaced with the static ones.
