Cartographer's Cache #001: Neverthirst Oasis

The first issue of Cartographer's Cache is here! This issue features a map of a desert oasis in a fantasy setting. The scene is further set by a deep chasm and rope bridge, a ruined structure (abandoned oasis waystation), and the submerged skeleton of an aquatic megafauna.

Both daytime and nighttime themes are included. Versions of maps include gridded & labeled, gridded & non-labeled, and non-gridded and non-labeled (perfect for virtual tabletop gaming).

Cartographer's Cache is a monthly RPG map series that I am releasing via this blog. Each month I will create a new map and release it as a pay-what-you-want product on DriveThruRPG.com. The theme of each month's map is decided by public vote via my various social media accounts; primarily Facebook.

This month's theme was suggested by Micheal Ruger via the RPG Gamers group on Facebook.

Each map is released as a compiled PDF that is sized to a full-page 8.5" x 11 template at 600 dpi resolution. Versions for each map included in each release will be suitable for campaign planning, game table handout, and virtual tabletop (VTT) play will be included with each issue.

You can get this product for Free (pay what you want) exclusively at DriveThruRPG.

Endzeitgeist reviewed The Lapis Maiden of Serena Hortum published by AAW Games.

"Justin Andrew Mason’s Mini-Dungeon is compelling – either as straight-forward hack and slay or as an infiltration, this one offers a nice story, a cool backdrop, diverse challenges and even a bit of social interaction, this is a great example of what can be done with a straight-forward, smart application of the limiting mini-dungeon-formula. My final verdict will clock in at 5 stars."

Endzeitgeist reviewed Ways of the Old published by AAW Games.

"Justin Andrew Mason’s fourth mini-dungeon does it right: We have a great, flavorful build-up; evocative read-aloud text…and non-combat means to resolve the danger. Traps and even a bit of investigation set-up (optional) are provided – this is great and makes the formula work in spite of its brevity. My final verdict 5 stars."
