Hi everyone!

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year, and have plenty of games and ideas lined up for the new year! We'd love to hear what you have planned for your players this year!

2025 on DMsGuild

We were really excited to see a couple of blog posts by Geek Native last week. Each year, they analyse sales and products released on DMsGuild/DTRPG etc, and create something of a league table. It was amazing to see that we topped two of them for DMsGuild. Of the 12 best selling DMsGuild titles of 2025, we had 10 of the spots, with our Dragon Delves Maps all becoming Gold Sellers since their release in July.

And even better than that, we topped the list of publishers on DMsGuild! (the league is calculated on sales of products released in the year). We were floored!

Patreon Collaborations

I'm really looking forward to working on more maps for Patreon release this year. We've also got some fun collaborations lined up - there'll be a mix of regional maps, tokens, adventures, scenes etc from a variety of other creators - really exciting stuff!

Your Favourite Maps of 2025

As part of a Christmas gift (the commission, which I'll come to next), we asked you what your favourite map was from 2025. It was fantastic to read all the comments. It's amazing the variety of maps being used (I'm not sure there was any case where two people had the same favourite!), but hearing how they improved your game and gave a memorable experience was wonderful! So, please do keep sharing your feedback and ideas!

The Commission Prize!

So, as I mentioned above, we were offering a Christmas gift to one lucky Patron - we'll work with them to make a custom map. To enter, you just had to comment on the post with your favourite map, and then we used a random number generator to pick the comment. And the winner was ... drum roll. .. JESSE SEIPEL!! Hooray! I'll be in touch Jesse to start discussing it with you!

Our Plans for 2026

We're pretty fluid people, so tend not to make ultra firm plans - we're easily hit by inspiration! But, a scaffold of things looks a bit like this

More awesome Patreon Maps and collaborations

Possibly a Kickstarter of Geomorphic village tiles

Continuing map packs for WotC releases (old and new)

More Modular tile sets

Our Discord

Don't forget that we have a Discord channel where we frequently post updates, links, discounts, previews etc, and are around to help with things. So, have a look!

Ok, that's everything I can think of at the moment!

Have fun!
