Milby’s Maps is one of the billionty creators I follow on #Patreon who I’d shower with money if I had it to spare.

Matt’s stunning current project is to produce #TTRPG- and #VTT-ready #maps of the #Vatican, and, in his latest update on the #catacombs below St Peter’s Basilica, relates a great tale about the perils of amateur #archaeology during the search for St Peter’s bones: https://www.patreon.com/posts/158946697?utm_campaign=postshare_fan
