Swamps 2 Release #3 | Next Theme!

Added 2025-06-25 10:27:01 +0000 UTC

Hey all!

We're here with the final release of this month's Swamps 2 theme, with a deluxe-sized map. We're also revealing July's theme!

Swamp Dragon Lair

This ruined watchtower has long since crumbled into the surrounding swamp, and the area lies eerily still. Noxious fumes billow from a huge sinkhole in the middle of the ruin.

Below, an enormous cavern is littered with the bones of thousands of would-be-adventurers who have fallen to the dragon calling this ruin its home.

The Swamp Dragon Lair is a double map spanning a full map's worth of detail above and below. We've ensured that the tunnels and entrance pit are large enough to accomodate an adult dragon, whilst keeping the cavern itself free of overhead canopies to avoid tangling a dragon in flight. This is a perfect map for throwing a Black or Green dragon at your players! Variants are included for day/night on the upper level, whilst the cavern has variants with skeletal, fresh, and no corpses.

Foundry users are able to pass beneath the overhead clouds of fumes, whilst mist hangs heavily overhead in the cavern below.

The gallery has been updated with this content, as well as pCloud, which you can access through your Theme Master List and the Foundry VTT module is updated and ready to be downloaded. As this is the last release in the Swamps 2 theme, the 300ppi maps are now available to download from the Patreon Shop free for All the Things tier Patrons!

Next Theme | Pick'n'Mix 10

We're excited to share that next month we make a return to our Pick'n'Mix series for a 10th instalment! This is a recurring theme where our artists aren't restricted to a consistent biome or concept across the month, and are able to make unusual maps or passion pieces that wouldn't fit into some of our other themes.

Pick'n'Mix 10 will release in July and will contain maps such as:
