The sky was a deep, midnight blue, and the stars scattered across the canvas of the night sky seemed to twinkle in anticipation. On the distant horizon, a large, lonesome ship was making its way across the endless sea of stars. It was a pirate ship, bound by no law and loyal only to its captain, who steered it through the vastness of space.

The ship was captained by a woman, her hair as black as the night sky, her eyes grey and her skin tanned from the radiation of distant galaxies. She confidently steered the massive vessel through the stars, commanding her loyal crew of misfits and rogues to carry out her orders.

Onboard the ship, the crew worked day and night to keep the vessel running. They were a strange bunch, each with their own dark secrets and wild ambitions. But beneath their hardened exteriors lay a deep-seated loyalty to their captain and their ship.

The ship sailed from planet to planet, its crew plundering and plundering until there was nothing left to loot. They were a scourge on the universe, feared by the citizens of the planets they visited, and revered by the other pirates within their own ranks.

The pirate ship sailed through the stars, a beacon of chaos and destruction wherever it went. But eventually, it sailed out of the darkness and into the light, its mission complete. In the end, the captain and her crew had become legends, their tales inspiring others to follow in their wake.

Map Hook:

The crew of the pirate ship had been sailing the seas for months, searching for treasure and plundering unsuspecting ships. But one day, their luck ran out. They had been sailing too close to an ice flow and the ship became stuck.

The captain knew that if they stayed in the ice for too long, the ship would be destroyed. He ordered his crew to try and free the ship, but the icy waters were too strong. The crew worked tirelessly for days, but eventually the ice had become too thick and the ship was completely embedded in the ice.
The captain knew that the only way to save the ship was to abandon it and try to make it to shore. But the crew was too weak and the cold had taken its toll. One by one, the crew members died from the cold and exhaustion.
The captain, however, was determined to protect his gold. He refused to leave the ship and kept the gold locked up in his cabin. He was determined to go down with the ship, and so he stayed on board until the very end.
Eventually, the captain was the only one left alive. He sat in the icy cabin, still clutching his gold, until the cold finally took him and he died.
The captain's last wish was that his gold would be found and used to help others in need. And so, to this day, the pirate ship and its captain remain frozen in the ice, a reminder of a time when greed and ambition drove even the bravest of souls.

About the Series

Sometimes it seems only a nurse can bring technical information down to an understanding that an ordinary person can grasp. The Nurse Florence® book series provides high quality medical information that even a child can grasp. By introducing young kids to correct terminology and science concepts at an early age, we can help increase our children’s health literacy level as well as help to prepare them for courses and jobs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We need more scientists so I hope that many children will enjoy this book series and consider a job involving science.

Hello readers,

Please know how much I appreciate you that come the few the proud to read this blog after all these years.

Just wanted to share this update as I am excited to announce the next map pack for Roll20 is available for purchase.

This is the Weighted Pony Inn and I actually ran it with my family once. It is themed as a deserted Inn or Tavern with 4 levels and is portrayed as haunted as well. Here, take a read for the hook included in the listing on Roll20 where it and other dnd battlemap packs can be bought:

Hook:
You lot know of the 'Weighted Pony?' I know why no one’s come or gone from there in a while - why it's been quiet. Well, I don't exactly. But I know who does and he's willing to give a reward to anyone willing to look into the - uh - disturbances. Seems the Innkeeper Ingrahamson sent word to the any sellswords for hire, offering good coin for help and needs it tonight. Discreetly.

Essentially, a grand banquet hall / inn has gone quiet and has not had guests for a weeks. The rumors are that the place is haunted and they won't let anyone in as it has been deemed... unclean for the social elite. The innkeeper sent a desperate message to swords for hire, adventurers, and general wayward souls. He insist on discretion. Can your PCs be professionals and help rid the inn of the forces the shuttered the once bustling resting place for the high class?

All maps are exported to 2048x2048 pixel dimensions.
Includes just enough detail but not too much in order to allow for you, the coolest DM on the block, to pepper in your own foes and narrative!
4 Levels, 52 variants

Grid vs. No Grid

Lights vs. No Lights

Spot of bother up at Winterbrook Stead. A friend told me Old Man Winterbrook has had some trouble with wolves and the like attacking some of his herd. At least that's what he thinks. But that ain’t the worst of it. I heard he recently found some with strange wounds. Heads missing. Limbs ripped off. Some, completely missing. But no blood. Says he’ll pay for the hides of the wolves or whatever's responsible and any proof or evidence of the devil depleting his flock. What do we have to lose? What say we take a look?

To Any Who Would Help -

I am writing with a matter of utmost importance. My beautiful, amazing daughter has gone missing and I fear the worst. I have not heard from her in days and no one has seen her. While I am devastated I am not at all surprised as I worry our recent quarreling of my choice of husband was not to her liking and drove her off. She didn't seem to understand it is a matter of royalty and politics not personal choice. OH how stupid I am! Now she has run off and likely fell victim to the many dangers about our land. It is my suspicion she has gone to one of her favorite places to go when she wants to vanish from the focus of being a princess. I cannot follow as I am too frail and I need this matter handled discreetly. This is where you come in! The Hot Bog is where I think she is. Please hurry! Any longer and I dread thinking what those foul, twisted denizens of the bog would do to her. Will you help me? Will you answer my call? Honor, glory, and gold await you should you succeed! You are my only hope. Again, I beg you, please hurry and restore my daughter to me!

Yours most humbly,Sir Oswald Troyes, Lord Governor of Roritstad
