A city, regional, political or battle map? A general's battle sketch? 3D art of your Staff of Eternal Doom? That burned-up piece of paper with just a couple symbols on it the players find in a grubby corner? A 1500 year-old Dwarven court ruling? Nothing's impossible!
Welcome to the Cartographer's Study!
I'm Ben aka ThenceHither and I offer mapmaking and related services to the roleplaying community and beyond!
At this point, I've been making maps and playing TTRPGs for more than half my life. Hit me up - together, we can make your idea happen. Check out Commissions for rates!
Looking for inspiration or a quick pick-up map? Check out the "On Hand" page.
Trying to get a hold of me? See "Contact", I'd be glad to hear from you!
Here to deliver a message to the governor? To help with the recent flood? To visit the sanctuary? Or to speak with the mages living on the cliff? Whatever your city is, I can make it!
Unique 3D scenes available on request! I make more than just maps.
The dead eyes of the statue stare at you on this dreary night, the flames of your campfire making it come alive as the leaves rustle...
For special occasions, I make near-photorealistic battlemaps off 3D models.
Want something looking more individual instead of symbol-based maps? I do that too! It's what got me started in mapping and I love doing it to this day.
For just 15€, you can get a one-hour map.
Maps aren't just pretty, they convey information. I will work with you so your map does what it's supposed to do.
Sometimes, the feel of a map is more important than how long it takes to ride from A to B. I will aim to deliver exactly the mood you're going for.
Two Kingdoms have sent settlers to this icy bay. Who will convince the dwarves to open their mines to them? And who can adapt to the lifeless wastes?
The inn at this lonely crossroads is run by farmer Edric. Maybe he knows where all those travellers have disappeared to?
