Roll a Wisdom save ... Happy April Fools Day! This is a redo of an isometric joke I made exactly 6 years ago to the day. #aprilfools #aprilfoolsday #aprilfoolsjoke #dnd #itsatrap

While at #dragonmeet this Saturday, be sure visit the TIN inn, home of the wonderful community of the UK tabletop industry network (one of my favourite communities of indie creatives). Thanks for all of the support this year 🥰 @uktin.bsky.social are at M32/33, be sure to make time to visit them!

At Gaelcon this year, I ran a little puzzle hunt (involving dingbats by Tymora our con director). Anyone who took part got a small prize. Here is one of them

Here's a link to the interactive map of the Gaelcon tradehall (ie, the traders camp). It's got links to everyone's instagram pages who will be there. gaelcon37-tradehall.conmaps.com #gaelcon37 #conventionmap

Here's a map I made for #gaelcon37, including an interactive map using ConCarte (by the amazing @ajanuary.bsky.social)

My first map collection zine arrived today (just in time for #gaelcon). I'm very please with how it turned out. First step towards producing a full coffee table book 😅 #fantasymaps #maps

My deck of mundane item cards for ttrpgs arrived today. First batch is small, enough for a playtest and tweak a few things, but all in all I'm delighted with how they've turned out (thanks to the wonderful colourwork from my daughter). I should have a few for sale at @gaelcon.bsky.social.

There's 24 hours left on early bird reward so I guess I should talk about that! We're creating a gorgeous foiled slipcase, designed by @ndpdesign.com, containing the core rulebook, campaign book, and a beautiful illustrated map by @jogbrogzin.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla... 1/

Really looking forward to these one. It'll be fun to make more star / space maps!

Hard At Work!! 🐈 Muppet of the Month, every WEEK!

Very excited to be working with @uktin.bsky.social on their first Game Jam. Basically, I've made too many maps, and we need to figure out what to do with them 😅. But seriously, it's an honour to be a part of this. I'm really looking forward to what people come up with 🥰

SURPRISE! This is a redo of one I did a few years back. Might make it into a tshirt 🤔 #dnd #dndhumour #potionofhealing #surprise

Huge congrats to @czepeku.bsky.social for winning Best Map Designer at the @critawards.bsky.social last night. Well deserved! 🎉 #critawards2025

Post Apocalyptic Manchester map from actual play section of "What is Roleplay?" podcast: beyondcataclysm.co.uk/podcasts/

Here's my map for the actual play segment of the "What is Roleplay?" podcast by @beyondcataclysm.bsky.social This month, I tried to emulate the beautiful isometrics by @daniellocke.bsky.social in ECO MOFOS (by @davidblandyrpgs.bsky.social ... who is on the podcast!)

Consider backing this authentic publication based on Irish Folklore from Emmet Byrne (former Cubicle 7 creative director of Soulbound fame) - it's in its final 90 minutes If it makes it to €200K we'll have an adventure written by @mytholder.bsky.social 😍

These were great fun

I love a good maritime themed adventure. I have three of Sam's games already and so know this one will be fantastic!

I'm looking forward to what you come up with 😉

Tomorrow I'm heading down to @athventurecon.bluesky.social where you can pick up a limited print of the map I made for it (only 20 copies available). All proceeds go towards #athenryadventurers youth charity You can find them at the merch stand in the bazaar. #athventurecon #fantasymap #ttrpg #rpg

Just back in Dublin after Warpcon 35. Personal highlights include: - Puzzlehunt (designed by @lizcable.bsky.social ... see my art for it below) - 3 RPGs (the most I've attended at a con 😅) - Hearthfire Tales - @norollsbarred.bsky.social (playing Blood on the Clocktower with them was so much fun!)

Warpcon is this weekend in Cork! Here's the map of the convention and the first page of the puzzle hunt I made with @lizcable.bluesky.social Puzzles will appear on posters at locations marked on the map with an eye 👁. I'll share the individual puzzles here after the convention. Should be fun 🤩

Cesilia City 3/4 view map commission finally complete. It only took the entire month of December 😅. Happy New Year and thanks for all the new bluesky followers in 2024 🥰 #fantasycity #isometricmap #citymap #dndmap #inkart #handdrawnart #handdrawn #noai

Wishing you all a happy holidays. Hope Santa is good to you 🎄🎅 Here's some progress on a city map commission. Zoom in sections show the new castle, the harbour and the theatre quarter. I've also hidden myself somewhere on the map. #isometric #isometricmap #citymap #fantasycity #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Further progress on the 3D-ification of Cesilia City. I've reached the Old City Walls, which contains Troll Skull Tavern.

Finally have a physical copy of Ulfenkarn in my hands (I'll need to make two posts because I've a bunch of maps / art in this book). I'm not allowed to read it, my daughter owns the Soulbound rulebook, but had to share a few photos of my work 😃 #warhammer #soulbound #ageofsigmar #ulfenkarn #ttrpg

I'm working on a 3/4 view map of a top down city I made about a month ago. I'm having fun with it. #citymap #ttrpg #rpgmap #dndmap #fantasymap #fantasy #fantasyauthor #adventure #handdrawnart

Are you a vendor at Dragonmeet this year? This is the convention map I made for this year, and I'm making personalised maps for anyone with a table (highlighting where you are). Please tag anyone you know who's going 😃

Map commission I just finished, a city called Cesilia. #citymap #handdrawnmap #fantasymap #dndmap #rpgmap

Map of Gaelcon 36 for event in Dublin this weekend. I always have fun making these sorts of maps.

My friends at @limitbreakcomics.bsky.social and @paulcarroll.bsky.social have a beautiful comic anthology kickstarter: 22 short sci-fi fairy tales from 40+ creators. Let's get them over the line! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pau...

Trying a new type of city "map" today, using a 5 point perspective (which hopefully give a fish eyes lens effect). When I get comfortable with this I'll try a fantasy map. #citymap #cityscape #5pointperspective #fisheyelens #fantasymap #dndmap #rpgmap #traditionaldrawing #handdrawn #inkdrawing

Here's a mountain map of a city called Fjallaborg (thank you @irish_ttrpg_community for helping coming up with that name). Maya (my cat) took over my usual space for taking photos and wouldn't move #fantasymap #mountainmap #ttrpg #rpgmap #fantasy #dndmap #handdrawnmap #handdrawn #traditionaldrawing

There are many reasons why I could have made a map of Japan... but honestly I just love drawing islands and it looks like a dragon blowing fire #mapofjapan #japan #nippon #tolkienmap #fantasymap #dndmap #rpgmap #ttrpg #handdrawn #mapmaking #traditionalart #handdrawnmap #handdrawnart #dnd

Happy April fools day... wisdom saves please 😆 #aprilfools #aprilfoolsday2024 #dnd #ttrpg #rpg

I'm making a fantasy town for 1s for every 5 IG followers I have and drawing the top comments from the previous videos. Here is a WIP after day 5. Every building has a story. I'm having lots of fun with it. #dailymap #dailydrawing #fantasymap #fantasytown #ttrpg #dnd #rpgmap #rpg #handdrawn

Here is a city map I've just finished inking for Roderic Waibel (for GEAS). It will be getting full colour treatment by my daughter Liz Scales. I can't wait to see what she comes up with. #fantasycity #fantasytown #fantasymap #citymap #lighthouse #dndmap #dnd5e #rpgmap #ttrpg #rpg #dnd

WIP of a city map I'm working on. I'm experimenting with little features like street lamps and quick blobs of people walking around. I want to make my cities feel more living #fantasymaps #cityscape #citymap #cityillustration #traditionalart #handdrawn #noai #dndmap #ttrpg #rpg

Aperiodic dungeon tiling (strange geomorphs) I made new dungeons in both the Monotile (discovered last year by David Smith) and the Penrose kites and arrows (discovered by Sir Roger Penrose). Infinite aperiodic dungeons for all! #dungeonmap #geomorph #dndmap #rpgmap #fantasymap #osr #osrmaps

Another map finished today. Big thanks to @hearthfiretales.bsky.social podcast for causing me to laugh so hard my pen slipped (see image 3 for evidence). If the dungeon architects dock my wages I'll be sending you the bill 😆 #dungeonmap #dndmap #ttrpg #rpgmaps #handdrawnmap #roleplayinggames

My latest map is for a western themed one-shot game. I know enough about it to make the map, but not enough that I can still play in it 😄 #westernmap #deadlands #western #fantasymap #ttrpg #dndmap #oldwest #rpg #rpgmap

Finally able to present Corroch, capital city of the Five Realms... let's go! This is a map for Five Oaths LARP group based here in Ireland. Hope it brings them much adventure! #citymap #fantasycity #ttrpg #dnd5e #dungeonsanddragons #isometric
