Animated battlemaps, creatures, spells & loot · since 2021
Animated battlemaps that arrive ready to play.
A release is a whole location: connected battlemaps, a scenery for roleplay, an intro sequence, player handouts and its own ambience track, with walls, vision and lighting already built. Plus creatures, spells and loot for D&D 5e. Runs in Foundry VTT, in any other VTT, or on a TV at the table.

Foundry VTT · GM perspective
Animated battlemaps built to be played on.
Every map is built around what happens on it: a theme, and terrain an encounter can use. Fully integrated in Foundry, with walls, vision, lighting and automation. A video file anywhere else.
Every location opens with a cinematic.
A one-minute flight into the location, started with one click. Your players see where they are before you describe it.
The same place, without the fight.
Every battlemap comes with a scenery: the same location as an animated backdrop, no grid, no tokens. Put it up when the scene is talk, not combat.
Never one map, always a place.
A release is a whole environment of connected scenes. Your party walks from the courtyard to the cellar, and you never load a map by hand.
Every release on one world map.
Build a coherent world in Foundry from Beneos maps and your own. We ship a demo world map with every release already placed on it.
Still images from inside the scene.
Close-ups of a room, an object, a point of interest, rendered from the map itself. Show one when your players look closer, or hang a quest on it.
Every map brings its own track.
Ten minutes of ambience per map and scenery, produced for that place and partly recorded on our own equipment.
Press play - these are the actual files

Ambience for the room

"Ben runs every session this way. A laptop, a TV, the files and the ambience. That's it."
See the table setup →Every asset, downloadable
Battlemaps, sceneries, intros and ambience, all downloadable and yours to use anywhere.
Bring your own walls
Walls and dynamic lighting are part of the Foundry one-click install, so in other VTTs you drop the scene in and set it up your way.

2.5D tokens in top-down and portrait.

No subscription required to keep using what you own.
"The same Beneos assets, wherever your group already plays."
See the other-VTT setup →What's actually inside
Battlemaps, creatures, spells and loot.
Animated battlemaps and sceneries, 2.5D creatures, and spells and loot for D&D 5e. Each one ships with the tools to run it: statblocks, guides, handouts, ambience and a one-click Foundry install.
Animated battlemaps & sceneries01 / Battlemaps & Sceneries
Whole locations, not single maps.
We don't make single maps, we build whole locations, cross-linked in Foundry into one explorable world. Each ships with a calm Scenery for roleplay and a tactical Battlemap for the fight.
2.5D creatures & monsters02 / Creatures
Abilities that tell the creature's story.
What the lore claims, the statblock can do. A Beneos creature has a full turn to take every round, not two claw attacks and a climb speed, plus a tactical guide, story hooks and a Foundry Autopilot that plays it for you.
Spells & loot03 / Spells & Loot
New spells, and loot with Origin sets.
New spells that stand on their own, not reskins, built for off-beat playstyles. And loot with real mechanics: Origin sets with shared bonuses, and an Item Radar that turns a single piece into the next quest.
Static battlemat against Beneos
Drag to see the same scene animated.
On the left, the static battlemat your group is used to. On the right, the same scene as a Beneos render.
