I create scifi themed RPG maps on Patreon
Miska FredmanAfter much consideration, I’m on Patreon. I didn’t plan to do this, but there I am.
It all started with a Post-it note and a weekly meeting at the office. I had a pad of Post-it notes and an ink pen, and I was waiting for the meeting to start. Suddenly, I got an idea to draw a map. That was the first actual RPG, or dungeon map, in years, if you don’t count quick doodles while GMing.
I decided to draw a map every day for the whole of November and playfully named this challenge #mapvember. By the end of November, there were a few others doing their #mapvember maps, and I got encouraging feedback on my maps.
But, most importantly, it felt good to draw maps. So, I decided to keep on drawing maps. Then, a few people asked if I had Patreon or if they could buy high-resolution maps somewhere. Then I started to consider Patreon seriously, and after a few days, I decided to give it a try.
About My Creations
On Patreon, I’m creating content for science fiction RPGs because I’m a big sci-fi geek and, you guessed it, I love roleplaying games. My creations can vary in style and substance, but there are a few principles I follow with all Patreon content I release:
- Science fiction in its broadest sense: Topics range from hard SF to steampunk, post-apocalyptic, and science fantasy.
- Hand-drawn: Original maps and drawings are always done with pens, markers, etc., on paper.
- Easy to adapt: You can use the maps with little or no effort in any appropriate setting. At least for now, I make my adventures and other resources system-agnostic, so they are easy to adapt to most popular RPG systems.
