In June 2024 we presented the new Dyson’s Delves Bundle featuring hundreds of hand-drawn maps by master cartographer Dyson Logos. Famous in the Old School Revival community for his distinctive crosshatching style, Dyson has drawn maps for publishers including Wizards of the Coast (Candlekeep Mysteries, Glory of the Giants), Kobold Press, and dozens more. He’s released more than a thousand maps and dozens of adventures free on his Dyson’s Dodecahedron blog (funded by his successful Patreon campaign). And you can watch Dyson at work when he streams his cartography live every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1-4PM Eastern US time (GMT -4) on his Twitch.tv channel.
The maps are unlabeled and (usually) in printer-friendly black-and-white. Many maps include gridded and no-grid versions. Most of them are provided in both .PDF and in high-res .PNG image files for use with VTTs (virtual tabletops) like Roll20 and Owlbear Rodeo.
You can download all these maps for free from the Dodecahedron blog. This new offer gathered them in convenient collections Dyson has self-published through his ZERObarrier Productions imprint. And several of these titles grant royalty-free commercial licenses, so you can adapt them for your own published adventures.
There were six titles in our Starter Delves (retail value $51.50) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including both Dyson’s Delves I and Dyson’s Delves II; three installments of the annual Dodecahedron Cartographic Review – 2014, 2015, and 2016; and the Commercial Compass Rose Pack.
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire Deeper Delves with eight more titles worth an additional $55, including three big annual installments in the Commercial Map Pack series – 2021, 2022, and 2023; four shorter monthly installments from late 2023 in the Cartography Collection series – Cartography Collection – August 2023, September 2023, October 2023, and November 2023; and Strange Stones, a mini-supplement of weird menhirs and obelisks.
The maps and images in the three Commercial Map Packs and the Commercial Compass Rose Pack are licensed for royalty-free use in your own published works. All the maps in the other titles are licensed for personal use only.
