How to Access High-Resolution Maps on Dyson's Dodecahedron

High-resolution maps on Dyson's Dodecahedron are not sold or downloaded directly from the blog. They are released through Patreon: patrons at the Level 1 Adventurer tier and above, plus all Legacy Patrons, get the high-resolution versions. Everyone else can view a low-resolution sample of each map in the blog post itself, and some releases can also be bought individually through the Patreon storefront.

What you get at each level

The blog's own wording is explicit: the low-resolution sample is "available for everyone," while the high-resolution versions are "only available to patrons and people who purchase the release through the Patreon storefront."

Why these maps are separate from the monthly PDF

The "official maps" series — adventure locations redrawn from maps Dyson Logos produced for published products — is handled differently from the regular Patreon output. According to the blog:

• These maps are not included in the Patreon-exclusive end-of-month PDF.
• Instead, each is released as its own PDF alongside the end-of-month one.

So if you are a patron expecting everything to land in the monthly bundle, this series is the exception. You need to look for the individual release.

Licensing: what you can and cannot do

These releases fall under the blog's Restricted Release License, found on the copyright page. The key condition stated in the post:

• The map is intended for personal gaming use.
• Distribution outside of your own sessions is a violation of the agreement.

That means using the map at your own table is fine; reposting, resharing, or bundling it for others is not. If you plan to publish, stream, or redistribute anything built on one of these maps, read the full license text on the blog's copyright page before doing so, since the excerpt here only summarizes the personal-use term.

A worked example: Isle of the Abbey

The Isle of the Abbey post shows the pattern in practice:

1. Read the post on dysonlogos.blog — you get the low-resolution map plus original descriptive text (the island rising "like the stump of a broken tooth" from Black Sphinx Bay, the skull dunes, the collapsed northeast pier, the ruined Abbey of Saint Varro).
2. Check the access note — it states the high-resolution versions are exclusive to Level 1 Adventurer tier and above and to Legacy Patrons.
3. Choose your route — join Patreon at the qualifying tier, or buy that specific release through the Patreon storefront.
4. Note the copyright split — the map was drawn for Ghosts of Saltmarsh and is copyright Wizards of the Coast, while all text in the package is original and unrelated to the Ghosts of Saltmarsh version of the map.

That last point matters if you are trying to match the blog release to an official product: the cartography originates from the official map, but the accompanying text is Dyson Logos's own.

Common snags

• Assuming the monthly PDF covers everything. It does not cover this series; these ship as standalone PDFs.
• Looking for a download link on the blog. The blog hosts the low-resolution sample; the high-resolution file is delivered through Patreon.
• Confusing the two copyright layers. The underlying map may belong to a publisher (Wizards of the Coast in the Isle of the Abbey case) while the package text is the author's.
• Treating "personal gaming use" loosely. Sharing the file with players outside your own sessions is the kind of distribution the license prohibits.

Quick decision guide

• Just want to see the map and read the description? Use the blog post — no account needed.
• Want the high-resolution file and ongoing releases? Join Patreon at Level 1 Adventurer or above (Legacy Patrons already qualify).
• Want one specific map without a membership? Buy that release through the Patreon storefront.
• Planning to share or publish it? Check the Restricted Release License on the blog's copyright page first.
