Drowned Archives - Rediscovered (Patreon)

Enter the Archives

Hello all! Today I get to share with you the culmination of a yearning I've had for some time now: to Rediscover (see: remaster) some of my oldest maps and bring them closer in to alignment with more current standards. 

The Drowned Archives is simultaneously one of my oldest (almost 5 years!!) locations and one of the most popular judging by how often I see it out in the wild and interacted with by users. The original maps (and the very humble writeup I did for it at the time) have been included as an additional download below for you to compare against and use as you wish. 

While the main location's premise was fun and I knew people were using it, in hindsight it contains a fatal flaw that simply wasn't a priority for me then at the time: it can't really be played with on a typical encounter scale! Enter: Drowned Archives - Rediscovered!

These new, encounter-scale, renditions of the upper and lower levels of this classic location are 59x75 squares and 40x75 squares respectively, easily putting each of them among the largest battle-ready maps I've made to date. I'm releasing them in tandem here as a single set as a part of our 5 year anniversary and hope that they'll get to rekindle some joy in exploring them--particularly for supporters newer to the patreon.
