Wow, we've reached our first goal of $100 per month! You can't believe how happy I have to have gathered this much support so fast! To thank all of you I have made a time lapse of my process of drawing the City of Hofendal. You'll get a glimpse into my process and see how the maps are build up. This should also give a an impression of what the PSD files for the Duke reward tier look like, though those are cleaned up and more organised of course.

The Next Goal: World Anvil!

The next goal to reach is the $250 milestone. When we reach that I'm going to make World Anvil pages for each theme. All information and background of the maps will then be gathered in on place with clickable links, as well as articles for certain places and characters. This will make the map even easier to use in you campaigns!

For now, thanks for you support and happy gaming!

Time Lapse: The City of Hofendal

At the mouth of the rivers Lyar and Thring lies the city of Hofendal, capital of the Kingdom of Rasfadal. This is where the King of Rasfadal has spend his days since the War in the West ended. His hands are more than full with all the work and rebuilding that needs to be done after the devastating war. Many people have come to find refuge in Hofendal. Lords from the east come to ask for aid in reclaiming their lost holdings in the Swamps, but the war took its toll, and many men were lost. There aren't many to spare. Until the Swamps can be reclaimed, these 'Homeless Lords' and their men have no place to go to, and so they make their home in Hofendal. Because of this, the city is filled with nobles and soldiers. Proud as they are, the lords love to challenge each other, and settle old feuds. Many soldiers engage in fights in the streets and taverns. This has lead to the deaths of three soldiers and one innocent bystander already. The King is desperately looking for ways to get the lords out of the city. With depleted resources, he has no intention in fighting the bandit kings and waging another war, but it seems like the only way. Any help he can get is more than welcome! The City of Hofendal offers a great variety of work and quests for players. The king will be happy with any aid he can get, and many if the lords will probably have tasks for you as well. Then there are the people of Hofendal that can certainly use the help of experienced adventures as well. Follow me to never miss a thing!

I would also like to see the total time spent making each map, so that people start getting a better idea of just how much time and work is invested into each of these.

Gee, I thought I had already responded to this, but it seems I hadn't. This one took over 12 hours of drawing to complete from start to finish. That's about average for many of my maps. These maps take a lot of time, but the result is always rewarding :)
