Here stands tall & proud the walls of Shogun Akiyama! Whether this castle rest on shore, up a mountain, or in a desert, it’s been covered & drawn in great detail. No bloody battle could break these mighty walls … right?

A surprising degree of spookiness for this map. It’s mostly the ‘deadlands’ variants that give me that feel, I think, but between the blood moons & the massacres the rest of the themes get plenty of it too. This castle is prepped for a siege; just supply the combatants.

Thoughts

• Multiple simultaneous attack angles work nicely.
• Walls like these are neutralized by flying beasts. The design of this castle implies it exists in a realm where those are rare. Perhaps it’d be a shock to the occupants to see them employed.
• Those great barricading foundation walls by the sea (or grasslands, for some variants) could probably be scaled if you were slippery enough.

Contents

• Shoreline Castle Exterior: A Japanese castle on the coast & its surroundings!
• Sandland: No rivers in the desert here. Just a lonely fortress with a patch of greenery.
• Grasslands & Forests: Two separate environments for those who don’t want their castle to be on the shore! Forests are dangerous for a castle; who can see what’s coming?
• Deadlands: An accursed land, or a demon’s realm? A seemingly haunted castle with a much darker tone, surrounded by fierce thorny woods.
• Night Variants: For all location themes!
• Fog: For all location themes!
• Rain: For all location themes! Sandland gets a sandstorm instead.
• Massacre: A bloody slaughter swept through here long before you arrived! For all location themes!
• Aurora: A brilliant aurora! To celebrate something? An earth-shaking omen? For all location themes!
• Blood Moon: A creeping scarlet mist, a bloody tone to the skies. Where water rests, it turns a brilliant red and stings of iron. For all location themes!

All maps are provided with & without square grids in WEBP format. (Please note that while WEBP is compatible with all major VTTs, it may not be previewable in old Windows 10 photo viewers.)

In addition, a Foundry module with a compendium of pre-built scenes for major variants is provided!

Furthermore, full-color PDF files in both single-page and divided poster formats are provided for printing!

• The divided poster PDFs are cut into US Letter-size pages; they have guidelines, sheet numbering, & a convenient sheet for sticking them together after you’ve printed them out, and have margins so that you don’t have to be pixel-perfect when cutting with your scissors.
• The single-sheet PDFs are suitable for making high-quality prints via print shops & on large-scale printers.
