Dungeon Tracts #1
Community Monster #1

The Temple of Shadow and Light
I’ve been meaning to get around to making a map the specifically leverages Foundry VTT‘s dynamic lighting for a while now. My older maps work great with the dynamic lighting, and it’s been easy to add the walls and light to them. That said, they don’t fully make use of lighting. And so, the Temple…
