The Final Midgard Logo Revealed!
In the last Kobold Courier, the kobolds of Open Design revealed the final Midgard logo, completing the set. So here it is in all it’s glory. As befits a world born of fire and ice, this one is bitterly cold.

You can find out more about the world of Midgard here and get involved in building it from the ground up. You can find the rest of the logos for the world in my Logos and Heraldry gallery.
Midgard is here! More Midgard logos and some map teasers

Fantastic Maps on Sale until September 1st
My Fantastic Maps range of fantasy maps is on sale this week (all 30% off, and the bundle reduced even more). The map packs have shiny new covers like this:
Each map pack has a jpg map sized for use with maptool or other virtual tabletop programs (mostly with a 100px grid but a couple of earlier maps are 75px), along with a printable multi-page map pack if you want to use it at a gametable. Many of the map packs contain maptool files with the VBL drawn in and grids and lighting set up for either 4e or OGL games. All of them will have these files included in early September (they’re all done, just not quite uploaded yet). If you buy now, you will get the new files with the maptool files when they are updated – so no reason to hold off.
Enjoy! Sale ends September 1st. You can find all the map packs here.
