The Barn - Consider the humble barn. A mainstay of agricultural architecture, a simple, reliable, essential place of storage for provender, shelter for animals, depository for tools, and the occasional tryst in the hay with the farmer’s progeny. Of course, the protection from the elements it provides can support an even greater range of activities, some more nefarious than others. What better place than this roomy, remote structure to house a den of smugglers and bandits? Mayhaps even more barbaric and murderous activities could be conducted behind its plain wooden walls, out of sight and out of hearing of any potential witnesses. Whether your PCs were born in a barn, or only locked its doors after the horse had already bolted, any of the three versions of this map are sure to provide the ideal location for a rural rumble!
Winter - Winter is coming*. Prepare your game for the wintry season, its many delights and perils with this set of three fully animated snowy maps, all available with a festive seasonal variant! Are those reindeer just seeking sustenance on yonder bluff, or has Santa’s sleigh come to a stop in front of a deep, dark cave? This frozen lake like an excellent shortcut and place to enjoy slippery sports, as long as you beware the ancient hunger that lurks beneath the surface! And look, over in this meadow – a gingerbread house that appeared out of thin air! What treats and delight await inside this completely innocent and sweet-smelling abode, at the end of the candy-trail?! Only you can decide whether your party’s been naughty or nice, though they should probably watch out one way or another!
*Unless you’re in the southern hemisphere, in which case, stay well hydrated!
The Path - The road to inner peace can take many forms – through meditation, good deeds, introspection, taking care of cherished loved ones…In some cases, it can also be a literal road. Down this path, one can embark upon a journey of self-discovery, a pilgrimage, a visit to a mysterious sage that is possessed of ancient wisdom, or just take the most convenient route to reach the monastery that’s been overtaken by a local (and possibly monstrous) tyrant and his bloodthirsty minions. Fully animated with a gentle breeze blowing about the blossoms of the venerable trees lining this road, and available in night-time and sparklier versions, let the serene beauty of this map lull your players into a false sense of safety as some terrible ambush or ominous vision is visited upon them. Highway to hell, or stairway to heaven? You decide!
