As long as Patreon pledged support remains above the $400 level, every month we are releasing one older map from the blog into the commercial license archives. That means that this map goes from the usual non-commercial use only license to a free commercial use license (meaning you can use it for absolutely anything, really).
At the beginning of April I released a list of 8 maps to all my Patreon supporters askign them to vote on which map they wanted released. The winning map (by a fairly slim margin, mind you) was the Turning Tower.
The Turning Tower
As the day progresses, I’ll edit the Turning Tower’s listing to show that it is now released under the free commercial license, and will then add it to the Commercial Maps page.
And then it will be time to put together a new list of 8 maps for patrons to pick from!
Hi Dyson, I just bought your two delve books and am partway through the first, excellent work, just finished reading the gorgon temple one, and to me personally the stocking in all is ‘just right’; enough old school randomness and invention, allied with just enough logic, and with lots of scope for faction fighting. In short a real pleasure.
I was wondering if you’re planning to release a third volume as there’ve been plenty more maps on the site since and looking at them on paper is always better than on a screen. By the way with reference to the second volume- i think you’re better off without the illustrations, like in the 1st book, as your maps are pieces of art in their own right and totally carry the show. Anyway keep up the great work.
Thanks for the good words and for buying my works!
Realizing that I had fallen behind on releasing Dyson’s Delves III (mainly because I wasn’t keeping up with writing adventures to go with my maps), I changed formats this year and released the 2015 Dodecahedron Cartographic Review.
I’m also hoping to get the 2014 Review out shortly.

Cheers. Found it yesterday and that’s on the way now. If you’re interested in some real world archaeological maps which are such a close fit in style to yours that you’ll love them, try and get hold of these if you can, in the earliest paperback formats from the early 80s: Cornovia and Belerion, they are two gazetteers of prehistoric to Dark Ages sites in Cornwall by the county archaeologist who did a perfect little black and white site map for each, hachures and everything, but at a glance accessible, and like your maps little works of art in themselves.

Let me know if you’re interested and i’ll scan a few of the most representative pages to show you (can images be pasted in the comments?). They are well worth buying if you can find them for a reasonable price somewhere.
Cartographic review has arrived. Very nice, i’m hoping that the Mega Delve will be in the 2014 one? That looks like it could lure me out of retirement to key it up for the group.
Found a rare couple of scanned in site maps by Craig Weatherhill (post above) on line, not the best from the approx 2-300 in the books, but a really nice Paul Ruiz vibe especially the letter forms.

Cheers. Rog.
Those are lovely.
The MegaDelve will be in it’s own book in time.
