One Year In!
Hello, mapmakers, storytellers, and adventurers! We're one year in!
It’s hard to believe, but today marks the one-year anniversary of Red Quills! What started as a small passion project has grown into an incredible community of creative minds. Over the past year, we’ve explored the art of mapmaking, built immersive adventures, and shared tips to enhance your tabletop games.
In today’s video, I’m reflecting on this journey, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, and revealing exciting plans for the future. This milestone is as much yours as it is mine—thank you for being part of it!

Highlights from Our First Year
Looking back, there’s so much to celebrate from being one year in. Here are a few standout moments:
- Adventure Module Spotlights: Together, we’ve released detailed modules packed with roleplaying opportunities, tactical challenges, and imaginative settings.
- Map Tutorials: From grid maps to isometric designs, we’ve delved into techniques to make your maps pop with creativity and detail.
- Community Growth: Whether it’s through comments, Discord chats, or social media tags, your support has made Red Quills a vibrant hub for creators and gamers alike.
This year has been a journey of learning, experimenting, and connecting with amazing people who share a love for storytelling.

What’s Next?
The one-year anniversary isn’t just about looking back—it’s also about looking ahead. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming:
- The Anniversary Adventure Series: Six weekly modules with downloadable maps, starting today. Each module explores a unique theme, from city intrigue to wilderness survival.
- New Tutorials and Map Styles: Expect more in-depth guides, covering advanced techniques and fresh approaches to mapmaking.
