August's Schedule (Patreon)

Hello friends. We hope you're keeping well. Everyone in Heroic Maps HQ is recovered from the bout of covid we had a month or so back - thank you for all your kind messages and patience. Your August bundles will be with you later today.

September/October - something different

We have got a bit of a different schedule this month. At the beginning of September we are off on our holidays for a couple of weeks, so we are getting everything done for September/October this month. Allow us to explain a little below, but the tl:dr is that all reward tiers will be getting their usual bundles at the usual times.

As you likely know, our usual working method is that we work on each month's map bundle the month before you get it. So next up is September's maps, which we will be working on this month. And October's map bundle is usually started in the first week of September.  As we are taking a break in September, we are getting the majority of October's bundle done this month too.

We came up with an interesting method for this. Each map (ie the MotM, the Alt-Map, the Sci-Fi etc) is going to be a two-part conjoined set. So this month's MotM will be a 30x30 map that October's 30x30 will join onto. The maps can also be used independently, but this method has allowed us to work on them at the same time and reduce various processing slow downs.

This two-part set idea, spread across two months, will be the same for every map in your bundles (apart from the mega maps). As we have had to decide what works well for these pairs, there won't be any idea gathering/votes over this time.

For the GM supplement, we will wait until the map sets are finished to write a supplement. So that will be in your October bundle, which is appropriate as the maps have a vibe suitable for Halloween. For the September GM supplement we are looking back a few months and picking a previous map that would appreciate the material.

The preview schedules should stay the same. And here is this months:

7th August - MotM preview

15th August - Sci-Fi map preview

21st August - Variant and Alt-version previews

24th August - Third Map preview

27th August - Megadungeon and Megamap previews
