We had a lot of fun creating the Zen Garden last week and we'd like to make more natural landscapes like that for a while. A lot of multi-room, mutli-floor interiors can get a bit same-y after a while. So if anyone has suggestions for outdoor scenes, like desert oases, abandoned farms, glaciers, bandit camps, country bridges, let's hear them!

I'd love a battle map for Skull Gorge Bridge (https://i.imgur.com/rKqOoiU.png) done in your style tbh... or a map that is similar to skull gorge at anyrate :P Medieval Monster Festival is super captivating an idea, and I've got lots of uses for a TReetop Village or Dryad Enclave or a Farmhouse

Kari Hoffren

For outdoor locations, maybe a hillside with cliffs and other obstacles for an uphill battle?

Nate Hastings

Remnants of a farm or abbey that has been flooded out or destroyed by some external force.

Josh Bell

The Zen Garden was brilliant! But what about expanding on that? Say a training ground, or parts of a wider monastery?

Czepeku

Colosseum it is! Thanks for voting and for the suggestions everyone. They'll be added to the next poll. :D

Dungeons & Death Saves

where is the heist castle fro macouple weeks ago, that one was super popular is there anyway of repolling for it

Czepeku

Hi Brandon, the heist castle lost out that week to Flying Sky Castle, so we kind of combined both. Check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/floating-sky-26311716 We've made a manor, a guildhall, a castle and a mansion recently and all of those could be used for heists in different ways. So we're a bit hesitant to do anymore large structures for a while unless they're obviously thematically different like the Lizardman Desert Palace suggested above.

Czepeku

Skull Gorge Bridge sounds so cool. Would happily design something like that next week. I'll add it to the poll. Dryad's Enclave keeps doing well each week so it's bound to win sooner or later!

Czepeku

That's a cool idea Kari. I can see that, a path winding up a cliffside with lots of things to push you off or force you back.

Czepeku

Thanks Nate! We suggested farm a few times but no one's taking the bait. Maybe a destroyed farm would be a better idea... A ruined abbey would be cool too. I used to live next to a few so i've got plenty of ideas for that.

Czepeku

How would underwater work? Cool idea just not sure how to make it. Would there be places to walk still or is the idea everyone is just swimming about?

Czepeku

Thanks! Glad you thought it was brilliant. A training ground in possible for sure. A monastery would just be more building, and mainly prayer/bed rooms. But it would be fun for all the monks out there.

Czepeku

Seems like hill paths is a popular suggestion right now.

Hanna Reinhart

Well, the idea is that it should be ruins, so there's stuff left from when people walked about. You could do another version where it's been taken over by aquatic races. Underwater architecture sounds like a fun challenge. Stairs are redundant. XD I think the main challenge is that suddenly everything becomes three-dimensional- even roofs become accessible to less athletic characters.

To give you some context, the Skull Gorge Bridge is the only pass between where the Wyrmsmoke Horde is camped and the realm they mean to raze in the name of Tiamat, the Elsir Vale. One of the key battles of the campaign takes place here. The other key thing I'd love to get in your style from the Red Hand of Doom is the Vraath Keep hidden in the middle of the Witchwood... that or some version of it anyway will become my players' Stronghold and your style is sooo beautiful I'd love for one of your pieces to be their stronghold. Right now I might just make the Country Manor version of the Vampire House the stronghold map they get it's really good, isn't a fortress/keep but its really pretty :P anywho ill stop rambling about inconsequential future campaign plans lol.
