This post is just going to talk about a few things I've been working on in the background mainly updating my website but I'll touch on other things as well. 

Website

So the website has come together much faster than I was expecting and might be in part because I wanted to keep things simple. As I mentioned previously in passing I really wanted a way for people to filter my maps. So if you needed a village map. Bam! Click an option and there they are. The screenshots below give you a good idea of the kind of simple look im going for and a lot of the basic functionality is now there, including a really nice simple blog system which is very basic but does everything I want it to do. As someone said when I was talking about the overall design it's probably best that you keep a lot of the background stuff basic because the maps/tokens and other things are the focus. 

The real slog now however is getting all my maps onto the site and that's going to take a little while. I also noticed that for some filters that I wanted I don't have any maps at all for volcanoes or oceans so I'm going to try and do some smaller ones for those over the next few days. 

Streaming

I've also been working on commission things, and some other bits and pieces but last week (And still suffering a little) I've had an ear infection again! Which makes me slightly annoyed and grumpy so I haven't felt up to streaming. I was planning on streaming today and colouring the village map below but I didn't get it all inked in time so I'll leave it till tomorrow. 

I might change the schedule on twitch to make it easier for myself but those are just the times im most likely to stream anyway so I don't follow them exactly every week. 

Thoughts?

Lastly I just want to quickly talk about my workload and schedule and all of that stuff. Im very aware that my content is slowing down a little but also Im getting more commissions, more requests and I have a LOT to do each month. I'm curious to see what peoples thoughts are on this and since you are all my patrons, it might mean I need to make some changes. Overall though just vote in the poll and i'll talk about this at a later date!

Thanks for reading all!

I'm going to keep supporting regardless, but I personally love your tokens and tile-sets. Having the freedom to be able to build custom dungeons, but with amazing artwork is the best.

You clearly need to clone yourself! My line of work is very different from yours, but I often find myself struggling with similar issues of time management. Personally, I'd love to see the maps continue (you're just too good at it!) but I also understand the need to support for the creative effort across the board. If possible, I'd vote for both of the first two options. Either way, thanks for all you do!

I would like 5 extra clones at this point :P Maps are still the focus of my patreon so it was sort of a trick question :P I was just thinking about time and whether people minded if maps were taking longer to do but its really awesome to hear this, thank you supporting me <3

Dungeon packs.... I don't think anyone does this. Create a very vague story outline... Bullet points. Example, goblins are raiding the local village. Done. Then create a Goblin or village map and goblin token. Pack em up and you've created a printable story. Wish I could draw lol.

The jungle Raptors and ravine is a great idea for this.... Excellent side quest... My party will be ambushed when passing thru here!
