City Boulevard & Caravan Camp Revisited

I'm back once again with another Revisited post! This time I returned to the City Boulevard and my most recent map, the Caravan Camp, and made a few extra changes. Also, if this is the first of these posts you've seen- this is a little extra content I like to make monthly for my Adept, Expert, an...

Caravan Camp

Hi everyone, this week's map is the Caravan Camp (30x30), and alongside it is the Open Plains (30x30)! These two were the last I'll be making from the previous poll, and since they seemed to work together well and struck me as a little simplistic, I thought it would be fitting to bundle them toge...

Caravan Camp, Adept

Here's the Caravan Camp (30x30), as well as the Open Plains (30x30)! According to my schedule I was supposed to make the Open Plains this week, but after thinking about it for a couple days I decided that nothing I could do would make the map worth charging you for.  Thankfully the next map ...

Caravan Camp, Expert

Hi Experts and Masters! This week's map is the Caravan Camp (30x30), plus the Open Plains (30x30), which is just the camp map but without all the props. My schedule says I was supposed to make these maps on two different weeks, but making an Open Plains map for a full week sounds boring, so I did...

Island Hut

I'm back once again with a fresh island map, the Island Hut (30x30)! I've been playing a fair bit of Sea of Thieves recently and it gave me the itch to whip up another little island of my own, this time with a little house perched on top which may have been somewhat inspired by Kame House, though...

Island Hut, Adept

Hello Adepts! This week's map is the Island Hut (30x30), and I whipped up a version of it without the hut for you so you do whatever you need to do with this island. And, of course, I also made a night version of the Modest Island, so you'll have appropriate lighting for when you cram every inch ...

Island Hut, Expert

Hi Experts and Masters! This week I made the Island Hut (30x30), a fun place for your party to take a well-deserved vacation and maybe have a beach episode. Unfortunately it seems there was a mix-up at the front desk and there's only one bed in the hut, but I'm sure your druid won't mind sleeping...

Razed Temple

Hello folks! This week I made the Razed Temple (26x26), another of my destroyed city maps, but isolated to one building. I made sure to not establish what kind of temple it was, such as a temple of Bahamut or Asmodeus, so you won't have to tell your players to ignore any angel/demon/dragon statue...

Razed Temple, Adept

Hi Adepts! This week's map is the Razed Temple (26x26), which probably was once a nice place to worship miscellaneous gods before I got my hands on it. Notice that there aren't any signifiers as to which god was worshipped here, so you should have no problem fitting this map to whichever god you ...

Razed Temple, Expert

Hello Experts and Masters! This week I made the Razed Temple (26x26), a demolished temple to any god you feel like where your players were way too late to help. I'm actually not terribly sure what kind of story would lead the party here, maybe something where they're hired to investigate the caus...

Crumbling Crypt

This week's map is the Crumbling Crypt (26x24), one of those maps that's half dungeon/half cave. People usually seem to enjoy the variety this type of map offers, and old nasty crypts are simple additions to any story, so I expect that this will be a useful map for most of you. Just a nice map fo...

Crumbling Crypt, Adept

Hello Adepts! This week I made the Crumbling Crypt (26x24), an old and nasty tomb with more than a few collapsed walls leading into tunnels and caves. Your alternate version of this one goes a little further than that, cutting the webs from the original version and instead featuring several patch...

Crumbling Crypt, Expert

Hi Experts and Masters! This week I made the Crumbling Crypt (26x24), a cool place for your intrepid adventurers to do a little grave robbing and pick a fight with the current residents of this old and nasty tomb. I made the original version imply that some kinds of giant bugs have moved in, but ...

Roadside Watchtower, Underdark Ruins, & Rocky Forest Revisited

Hello again, Adept, Expert, and Master patrons! I return with another Revisited post, only a few months late. Don't worry though, since I've revisited a map for each month that has passed, fulfilling my promises late but eventually.

This time around, I decided to take passes at a few of my ...

Roadside Watchtower

Hello everyone! This week's map is the Roadside Watchtower (30x26), a kinda rare one since it has both interiors and exteriors as well as multiple floors. I can't believe I never got around to making a map like this before, since it seems like every mapmaker on the block has made something simila...

Roadside Watchtower, Adept

Hello Adepts! This week's map is the Roadside Watchtower (30x26), a simple map with a somewhat complicated design. Maps with both interiors and exteriors are always tricky to lay out and shade, and since this one has 4 floors it's a little more difficult than usual. We'll get into that in a secon...

Roadside Watchtower, Expert

This week's map is the Roadside Watchtower (30x26), a common enough location that probably has a place in any campaign. Honestly, I don't know how it took me so long to make a bridge and watchtower map, it feels like it's probably somewhere in the top 100 fantasy locations to have a scrap. Anyway...

Dreary Dungeon

Hi Patrons! This week I made a map from off of the poll, the Dreary Dungeon (18x23)! I felt like making something of my own choosing instead of continuing with the winners from the last poll, and I settled with a nice prison dungeon which I've been intending on making for some time. Now, it isn't...

Dreary Dungeon, Adept

Hello Adepts, this week's map is the Dreary Dungeon (18x23), a compact complex of cells with enough space for your law-breaking party to spend a few nights and think about what they did. Your extra version of this one is a somewhat subdued version, which I'm calling 'Grim'. Rather, it's one where...

Dreary Dungeon, Expert

Hi folks! This week I made the Dreary Dungeon, a grimy jail which would be a perfect fit for a mid-sized town or a fort, featuring just enough space to keep a handful of troublemakers locked away and few secure cells for long term residents. 

Your extra versions this time are warmer an...

Barbarian Village

Hello everyone, this week I made the Barbarian Village (30x30), a small walled settlement in the woods! When this map was first suggested, the patron who wanted it mentioned that they wanted something like Conan the Barbarian's (the 1982 one with Arnold Schwarzenegger) childhood village, and sinc...

Barbarian Village, Adept

Hi Adepts! This week I made the Barbarian Village (30x30), which I made to be reminiscent of Conan's home village from the 1982 movie. I made several adjustments to make it feel more barbarian-y than druidic, though I did try to cut the difference down the middle so that it can be useful for situ...

Barbarian Village, Expert

Hi Experts and Masters! Your map this time is the Barbarian Village (30x30), a small walled settlement that can just as easily be a regular forest outpost in a pinch. I'm sure you can come up with some interesting setups for a place like this, but at the very least it can offer a roof to adventur...

Rocky Forest

This week's map is the Rocky Forest (25x25), a return to my personal favorite setting- forests! I didn't have enough time this week to dive into the Barbarian Village (the 4th place winner from Poll #10), but I have so much experience making forests that I can practically whip one up in my sleep....

Rocky Forest, Adept

Hi Adepts! This week's map is the Rocky Forest (25x25), a nice and simple map with lots of changes in elevation which should make encounters a little more spicy, especially if your players can come up with interesting ways to ascend the rock walls quickly or if they're fighting flying foes. ...

Rocky Forest, Expert

Hello Experts and Masters! This week I made the Rocky Forest (25x25), a clean and simple map with more exciting terrain than my usual forest clearing. I would face my party off against enemies here who can take advantage of the changes in elevation, such as Aarakocra or other flying enemies who c...

Underdark Ruins

Hi folks! This week's map is the Underdark Ruins (30x30), which came 3rd in Poll #10, and I figured I would get a little funky with it since Underdark maps don't come around all that often around here.

I decided that I would use the Blackreach, a mushroom-filled underground city cavern in S...

Underdark Ruins, Adept

Hi again, Adepts! This week's map is the Underdark Wilds (30x30), a shadowy and bioluminescent cave with pieces of old broken buildings scattered about. I decided that I would try a new style for this one, going a little overboard on the lighting and colors, but I think it came out looking very c...

Underdark Ruins, Expert

Hi Experts and Masters! This week I made the Underdark Ruins (30x30), and I made a few fun alternate versions just for you, which this time make the map significantly more versatile than usual. 

Along the same lines as the Adepts' outside desert version of this map, I retouched that ve...

City Boulevard

Hello patrons! This week's map is the City Boulevard (35x34), the runner-up from the last poll. This one is a bit bigger than my usual maps, which almost never get above 30 inches in any direction, but I thought a bustling city thoroughfare ought to have a little more wiggle room than usual. ...
