[Master Post] New Tropical Island Map Release (Patreon)

"As your ship nears the rugged coastline, the sea shifts from deep blue to shimmering turquoise, revealing sharp reefs lurking just below the surface. A lonely hut stands beneath the palms, its roof patched with driftwood and salt-stained cloth. The dock groans in the tide, barely holding together, and a rusted cannon points out to sea as though still guarding something long forgotten. Crates and barrels lie abandoned, yet too deliberate to be chance—perhaps supplies left for someone who never returned.

Legends whisper of a smuggler’s hideout turned cursed refuge, where treasure was hidden and never reclaimed. Strange lights have been seen at night, flickering from the hut, and sailors claim to hear voices carried on the wind. Do you dare to land and uncover whether the island hides forgotten riches, a restless spirit, or something far worse waiting in the shadows of the palms?"

Still sailing in pirate waters with this one! My heart and thoughts are somewhere on a warm beach by a turquoise sea, so here’s a brand-new tropical island map for you. The animated version has a lot going on—rolling waves crashing against the rocks, palms swaying in the breeze, and of course… that mysterious little hut armed with two cannons. Why cannons? That’s for you and your players to decide :)

I’m also officially starting my vacation, which I’ve been really looking forward to. Summer this year is all about getting my home ready for the arrival of a new family member, but I’m trying to carve out a bit of breathing room for myself too. The map packs I’m releasing might be a little smaller for now, but I promise they’ll stay just as beautiful and inspiring.

As always, you’ll find the downloads in separate posts and also available for Foundry.
