Dungeons & Dragons Colouring Book cover
The 2016 Dungeons & Dragons “Monsters and Heroes of the Realms” Colouring Book is finally out! I got my copies a month ago (with a bit of a surprise at the time) but now you can get yours.
While you wait, however, the official D&D site has a full little promo page that also includes two pages from the colouring book that you can download. They list them as a Beholder and a Map… The beholder is a great illustration that I photographed when I got the book –
Behold!
And the map… Well, of course the map is one of mine!
Maps!
As I said when I first got this in the mail, I really like how they cut out most of the interior of these maps, opening them up for the owner to redraw them as they please – totally in keeping with the style of the colouring book and a method that even turns on my creative juices and sense of imagination and the unknown (particularly the pyramids and structures on the right page of the photo below… I think they made it WAY better than my original map of the buried pyramids in the desert!)
More Maps!
So, yeah… I’ve been published in an official Dungeons & Dragons product! How fucking cool is that?!

Very cool. Congratulations. But please don’t cuss here — kids read this blog…
It’s generally seen as bad form to enter someones ‘house’ or ‘business’ and tell them how to do things without first being asked.
It’s also bad form to speak for the person whose house it is. You don’t know, he might not have realised in his excitement, and would apologise and remove the swear words. Or he might not. But it’s for him to decide, not you.
Passive-aggressive much?
(That was to Mike, not Bruce.)
you are naive if you think those kids aren’t swearing behind your back.
So it’s okay to corrupt the ones who aren’t? You, sir, are a jackass.
I decided several years ago that I’m not going to self-censor because it feels disingenuous and wouldn’t allow for me to produce things like this:
It’s a free country. Have a nice life.

You already gave me the finger; don’t you think you’re beating a dead horse now?
I honestly wasn’t intending it that way when I posted the Dungeon of Fuck You. It’s just an example of the things I can’t do if I self-censor.
Okay, I’ll accept that; but I’ll offer one comment in rebuttal of the article you posted; “Absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence.”
Does the Beholder have googly eyes yet?
Waaaaay fucking cool. I’m envious in a healthy kind of way.
And the fill in the frame map idea is something you would do well to consider yourself if you haven’t already. I look forward to your take on that and how you ‘guide’ the ‘back filling’ with the frame design. An interesting design challenge.
Reblogged this on DDOCentral.
That is totally fucking cool! Did I mention how fucking cool it is? ‘Cus it’s pretty fucking cool. Kudos to you! ;D
Woot! Ha, you’ve joined the dark side!
OMG – bought!
congrats, that is very cool and just the present I was looking for.
Hi there Dyson, this is the first time I ever replied to a blog, so I figured I’d give it a shot. So, fellow Goblinoid Games forumite, looks like you’re doing well for yourself. You’re a professional RPG map maker and some of your maps have been adapted for the new (relatively speaking) D&D Coloring Book adding to your fame and recognition. I’ll take a look at buying a copy of it sometime soon. I know I’m posting a month late, but I didn’t spot this post until today.
I’m just curious where the coins came from in the image with the Coloring Book. My kid would love a set of those for his D&D campaigns.
The coins were from last year’s “Fantasy Coins” kickstarter.
