Borough Bound

We're Borough Bound! We create fully realized RPG settlements for your tabletop campaigns. We give you everything you need to run #TTRPG adventures. Full city-sized battlemaps (with variants and fully-explorable interiors) Music Detailed lore NPCs with character art VTT integration DIY map assets

When your TTRPG party finally completes their quest, where are they retiring: idyllic lakeside resort Ruvatello, or fae grove Ithivellia?

Our newest album Pale Hours is out now! 9 ambient soundscapes perfect for focused TTRPG gaming, but just as good for studying, meditating, or relaxing. Available wherever you stream or buy music!

We want to highlight one of our favorite collaborators: @fluffyfolio.bsky.social! Fluffy makes incredible creatures and potions for D&D. We've tasked Fluffy with designing a bunch of our strangest creatures, and our boroughs would not be the same without their work!

If you grew up fantasizing about a certain school for witches and wizards, recapture that magic with Elseridge Academy. Our system-agnostic tabletop setting comes with everything you need to build a multi-year magic school adventure.

Your tabletop settlements should never feel static. Check out our evolving hamlet Hauthell if you want to incorporate a village that changes dramatically over the course of a campaign.

Which version of fantasy Manhattan would you most want to explore? Daytime, nighttime, sunset, or in the rain?

You're attending a magic school. You can choose one of the following professors as your mentor. • Lana Ordumen, professor of ethical necromancy • Arbern Berdungum, professor of elemental summoning • Tayà of Blue and Green, professor of herbalism Who do you choose?

Just a heads up that patrons get access to ALL of our stunning illustrations. We've got years worth of beautiful fantasy landscapes, NPCs, in-universe documents, schematics, murals, and more.

Which grand castle would you rather have as your party's homebase? Comment "LEFT" or "RIGHT," and then download the maps for Quévanault and Falthringor from our Patreon!

We've got a new version of our city of Crabwell available now to patrons! Brought to you in collaboration with @stillfleet.bsky.social, this map pairs perfectly with the medieval horror RPG Danse Macabre. Grab it now at our Patreon!

Our pal @somanyrobots.com just launched their newest 5e kickstarter! I don't think I've ever seen a supplement label itself "necroindustrial," so you know this is going to be bad-ass.

We've got a new EP coming out in ONE WEEK! Pre-order now if you want some more spooky castle music in your life.

Danse Macabre: Medieval Horror Roleplaying by @timespace.place is now live on @itch.io! stillfleet.itch.io/danse-macabr... If you missed the campaign, you can still add the PDFs to your library.

I've released a couple new albums recently that tabletop fans might dig: • Homes & Hamlets - cozy fantasy village tunes • Endless Reaches - wild west and ambient music for vast expanses Both available wherever you stream under the artist name Borough Bound.

"It's best to go at night when there's less people around. Then you won't be disturbed..."

That's some nerve-wracking outdoor seating!

Winter is starting to set in. Soon the blizzards will be coming thick and fast and it'll be hard to keep watch from the tower.

Elseridge Academy is a thriving and mysterious play space ripe for lengthy campaigns! Explore bizarre astral weather phenomena with our starfall and fluxum variants. Or relocate to a more traditional setting: our tropical, winter, and forest variants allow you to run Elseridge Academy your way.

Our map of Demlin is vast, busy, and bustling. There's plenty of room here for roadway antics, whether your players are on foot, in a rickshaw, or riding horses through dense traffic!

Crabwell's underlying legal code is established by decree after decree echoing out from the city's central tower, a mysterious building from which an omniscient voice spouts new laws each evening.

After the flood comes the scavenging!

As your players attempt to thrive in this free city, they'll have to determine just how far they are willing to bend their morality...

Our pals over at @magehandpress.bsky.social just went live with their newest Kickstarter. This crazy bundle is simply the best way to run sci-fi adventures in 5e. Give it a look!

Fancy attending a smoky gazz performance at the Sparklight Lounge? How about negotiating with spark dealers in the city's sewers?

Ruvatello is truly perfect. The vistas are iconic and the service is impeccable. What could go wrong?

Who's on the night shift?

Sometimes there's a gap between GM expectation and player behavior. If you need some extrinsic in-game motivation, try using tokens! Fine-tune your reward system to empower your players while keeping the table philosophically aligned. blog.boroughbound.com/motivate-tho...

Can you discover the secrets of the overgrown lab?

It's not going to be easy to sneak up on these goblins!

A peaceful sight on a night like this. Sometimes it's just worth taking a step back and looking at this beautiful city.

I wrote one track for Borough Bound's newest album, Demlin. To fit the vibes of a fantasy metropolis I went with a minimalistic style, using repeating patterns that slowly build over time to give you the sense of a sprawling cityscape. You can stream the album wherever you listen! :)

Our newest album is out now! Demlin is music for fantasy metropolises, featuring guest tracks by @paulzmmermann.bsky.social and Brombaer. Stream it wherever you listen.

You can guarantee there'll still be one person out drinking ale in this!

Looks like you got the tent up just in time! 🌧️
