An art-deco style ticket for elevator passage out of an underground city. The ticket reads as follows: "Vestrel's Gate Safe Passage Ticket #25881 This ticket entitles the holder to one passage to the surface. Good for one week. The coupon belonging to this ticket is only valid for passage when properly dated, and when attached to this contract, and are to be detached by operators only. This company assumes no responsibility for the safety or transportation of passengers or baggage beyond conveyance limits."

Some of my favorite props to make are the ones that only exist to make the world more immersive. Case in point - it's a lot more fun to panic about whether or not your ticket stub is actually in your pocket.

An unlabeled city map, detailing a city built down both sides of a river delta, with several bridges crossing the river.

#WIPWednesday - I haven't made a lot of city maps, but as my players work their way toward visiting the city of Calanthi, I thought I'd work on finishing this previously shelved draft based on early 1800s city plans.

A pamphlet in 1800s style. Beneath an engraving of a wall, it reads: Remember - your safety is guaranteed by the hard work and bloodshed of the Wallwatch. These steadfast volunteers bravely ensure the sanctity of our great nation and those beyond. Young, fit men and women desirous of enroll will find stable pay and reasonable company whilst serving in this honorable corps of staunch defenders. Besides their pay they may expect fair and consistent rations of meat, flour, bread, butter, sugar, tea, coffee, and ale, wine, or liquor, and comfortable accommodations in the humble towns of the northwest states. Each Watcher is entitled to their fair allowance, to be paid weekly. Many great heroes have returned to their friends in fortune and comfort. Those wishing to enter into the Wallwatch may contact their local Inspector General. Bringers of good recruits will find fitting reward.

The country of Noravia, situated alongside the sprawling Cursed Lands and just north of the Illhad'orian subcontinent, is well regarded as a land of safety and diversity. It also boasts the largest human population in the West Olorim - for better or worse.

Last week, we lost one of Pathfinder's most prolific fiction authors and a friend to many, Howard Andrew Jones. Please join us in remembering him and consider picking up one of his books, with 100% of proceeds going to his family in this difficult time.

Hey, #ttrpg enthusiasts and #fantasy fans! While we’re all trying to pretend we live anywhere else, I’m working on maps + props that bring other realms to life, inspired by historical printmedia.

Check out what I’m working on here, or reach out if you’ve got a project in mind!
