A new 576 CY update was just sent out to my Patreon members. Here is a sneak peak at the Sea Princes in its glory days.I must emphasise that this is very much a work in progress, and it will need more sharp eyes to check things out before it is ready. But I'm working […]

Back home again from Indy with another Gen Con under my belt. This year I got to present my work in a two hour seminar in front of over 60 people, a rare and wonderful treat for someone who spend most of the time working alone. This is the first in a series of blog […]
After showing samples of maps I've done it was time to start looking at the some of the thinking behind maps and how to apply that to fantasy cartography. My first aspect of a map is Information vs. Inspiration, some maps are there to give you information only and others mostly to inspire you in […]
The basis for most of my maps area three dimensional virtual model of the landscape that I cover using image based textures. The process of creating this is far from straight forward and requires multiple steps using different tools. I've done my best to try and keep this presentation free from weird technological terms and […]
The final part of the my Gen Con Seminar Recap will be about what is Coming Soon (tm). For about a year I've been working on a Kobold Press project that is still under wraps, so I don't know when it's going to be published or Kickstarted. Next years big commission will be for Legendary […]

I will be at Paizocon this weekend. From lunch to around 7pm I will for the most part be at the Lone Wolf Development booth located just next to the main ballroom. Please stop by the booth and talk maps!
I've been using Realm Works by Lone Wolf Development to manage my games for the past four years, and since my maps are a big part of my gaming my maps need to go into Realm Works as well. Up until recently it was a bit of a hassle due to RW's limitations being 32-bit […]
Time long overdue for a new update. Working hard to get two big commissions out the door for Kobold Press and Griffonlore Games, so the time to spend on Greyhawk is severely limited. You know me, I can't stay away from my favorite setting for long so now and then I'm getting a little bit […]
