Level Up Your Games with Czepeku Maps

For years, Czepeku (pronounced: ‘Chey-peck-oo’) has been making awesome maps to use for your online D&D and TTRPG games. Recently, they have stepped up their game and are offering maps, scenes, and tokens for both fantasy and sci-fi themes. Stop by their Patreon for individual packs of beautifully crafted maps, scenes and tokens. Here are some of my favorites that I’ve been using.

Scenes

A forgotten fey temple amidst lush forest ruins, now partially submerged. Stone bridges connect statues, walkways, and temple, while the waters teem with mysteries.

Using a visual scene is one of my favorite ways to set the mood for a session or an adventure. My favorite ones to use so far are the animated scenes ‘Lair of the Elder Brain’ and ‘Flooded Fey Ruins’. Being able to pick between some variations in time of day, weather, and themes is really helpful. Although I do think the best part about the scenes is that each one is paired with an existing battlemap so you can transition easily from a social encounter into a tactical combat. 

Maps

A rickety bridge next to a dangerous waterfall sets the scene in this battlemap. What could be lurking nearby? Are there other paths across this dangerous ravine?

For many players and dungeon masters, maps are a crucial part of combat exploration. One thing I love about Czepeku maps is the amount of details and features packed into each one. It’s stuff like that that really makes a world, and a map, feel real and lived in. You’ll see random animals, graffiti, blood, and on the animated maps you’ll have flickering flames or rushing waters. Take this silly goblin bridge for example. This is telling me to have some goblinoids attack the PCs from both sides of the bridge. The blood is difficult terrain and may even cause someone to slip and fall. Sounds like a fun encounter to me!

Tokens

Time wasted with the token builder is not wasted. I have customized so many cool tokens using all the various assets they have available. You can choose various hairstyles and skin tones as well as accessories and token borders. It has been really helpful to personalize tokens for my D&D players when we play online. It’s the little things that can help players connect with their characters and foster immersion. I love using the goblin granny as a quest giver for one shots and silly adventures. However, Lemon the Duck should be used in everyone’s campaign no matter what TTRPG they are playing. For some reason she always has a blood feud with someone in the party.

If you are interested in any maps, scenes, or tokens the best place is czepeku.com/store. You can now subscribe to Czepeku Maps and Scenes on their website. However, Czepeku’s Complete Fantasy Bundle gives you access to three subscriptions for the price of two! Available at https://go.czepeku.com/craig_inspiration.
