About this project

Back in 2010, I launched my very first Kickstarter project, and with your support and encouragement, began building up a library of sci-fi and fantasy maps for RPGs and miniatures games that has now grown to include 38 separate products. Planning, illustrating, and selling these maps has become the central focus of my cartography career, and in recent years we've been rounding out my product lines to create deluxe boxed sets that include even more map content in the bundle.

Now it's time for my Maps of Mastery product lines to level up and enter the next tier of play! But two of my poster map series are still missing their fourth installment. That's something I hope to remedy at last, with your help:

PROJECT GOALS

At $4000 - Deep Vistas IV

This double-sided poster expands the subterranean realms I first introduced in 2011. It features the lair of a deadly serpent cult and the writhing snake pits of their dark temple on the front. On the back you'll find a sentry outpost standing guard over a treacherous chasm crossing and the waterfalls that empty into its lightless depths! Both of these maps connect to one another, and to maps from Deep Vistas I and II! The starting goal of this Kickstarter campaign is to get this poster into print. It will also allow me to combine this series into a Deep Vistas Deluxe Set featuring three new panels of related map content to be revealed later.

Fane of the Serpent Lord

 

Dark Reaches Stronghold

 

At $8000 - Deck Space IV: Dangerous Seas

This poster takes my Deck Space series of customizable terrain maps in a whole new direction, revealing the weather deck and berth deck of the Brig Niagara, an authentic sailing vessel from the War of 1812! It also provides you 27 additional map features with which to customize the open waves and build your own encounters: a small island, a spare boat, assorted shipwreck flotsam, sharks, and even the arms of a mighty kraken! The first stretch goal of this campaign will pay for Dangerous Seas to be produced. It will also allow me to put all four Deck Space maps together into a deluxe pack, featuring three new panels of related map content to be revealed later.

Fighting Brig

 

Ocean Waves

 

Dangerous Seas Terrain Sheets

 

At $12,000 - Glacier Base Tiles, Packs 1 & 2

At this level, two special terrain card packs will be printed and made available to backers as a reward option. The Glacier Base tiles rework my existing Cavern Tunnel Tiles into a frozen military installation of tunnels and chambers carved out of ice. The back of the double-sided tiles reveals a natural ice cave, without the sci-fi elements. I'll post more images when we get closer to unlocking this goal, but here's a look at the two packs of tiles put together:

Pledged for a couple. I'm a sucker for maps.

Christopher West makes some awesome maps! And I really like the one modeled after the Brig Niagara, It still sails and is maintained out of port Erie.

Pledged. I'm a suckered for maps.

Funded, working on stretch goals.

 

There is one pledge level for an 88 inch long vinyl map combining 4 maps into one long area. Very tempting.

Got my map today (I'd backed down to one). Seems to be all in good order and quite nifty.

[Darsc Zacal]

Anyone else here still waiting for theirs?

[DocPiske]

I have not, but he did say they were being sent out in waves.

[HornedTurtle]

I'm still waiting as well.

[DocPiske]

Got em. Nice maps.
