We sat down with The Crafty Dice to learn more this map pack and their creations on our Marketplace.
What was the inspiration for your Steampunk Airship map pack?
I had started exploring Eberron as a setting, so it was inevitable that I would eventually try my hand on an airship. And when I first did, I wanted it to be a large one! I tried to build my network so I prompted fellow creators for cooperation, for this one I reached out to Rudok’s Maps as I enjoyed the style and found it very fitting to a Steampunk / Eberron setting, I do however not remember how we landed on an Airship. The exterior of the ship was made by him, while I did the various interiors.
What was the inspiration for your Creation Forge map pack?
In an attempt to find my place in the map creator market, I got interested in Eberron as a setting I felt hadn’t been explored too much. It matched my style and vibe at that point. I’m quite sure Creaton Forge was my first map in the Eberron setting and I continued using Eberron as inspiration going forward. (It was also my first map created with Clip Studio Paint. I enjoyed the change of tool, but didn’t end up switching out Photoshop until a little bit later when I joined up with The Mad Cartographer.)
What made you want to start creating maps for D&D?
I had an unexplained “nesting”-urge while expecting our first child, I wanted to make the situation better somehow.
This feeling together with being inspired by a battlemap post (from 2-minute tabletop) that went viral on Reddit at the time, made me spiral into various subreddits getting inspired and in the end I drew my very first battlemap one evening. With the plan to monetize my endeavour somehow, no plan, just action!
Do you have a favorite memory from adventuring in Eberron yourself?
The very first time I played one of my own maps it was a one-shot using the City Slums map also available on Roll20. That map is inspired by Sharn from the Eberron setting. It was fantastic to observe how the DM used my map, a great teaching opportunity for me as a creator as well!
What’s your favorite product you’ve created on the Roll20 marketplace aside from these and why?
Oh, I have so many favorites because of different reasons; creativity, technical achievements, how happy I was with the result, the feeling I got while making them and how much I learned while making them…
If I were to pick one I’d have to say Heist on Serpent Manor, it was the 4th map I ever created so it’s a bit rough on the edges. While the first three maps took a few days to create, this took three hard long weeks. I was so tired and about to give up multiple times as the ambitions were too high, but I pulled through and learned so much in the process! Also my first and only map created especially to be a heist map.
