Canyon Rope Bridge

"You and four others stand at the precipice. The canyon is so wide on both sides that it doesn't even cross your mind to try jumping. 'Who cut the bridge? Seems like a stupid idea to me...' said the ragged Sellsword that you employed. And with no hesitation, you hear running from behind you with a jolly shout 'Well what are y...

Introducing my SCI-FI map Patreon!

Greetings world builders!

I'm delighted to announce the birth of Moonlight Maps Sci-Fi!

Long have I wanted to make sci-fi maps.
It's a genre I've loved dearly since I was a young...

Burial Mound

"Not only are we in a sandstorm, but night has fallen. Does anybody know where we are going?!' The group are exhausted, and the sand still hits them from every angle. 'Maybe we should rest here for the night. If we can get the tents up...', 'agreed', said the captain. 'There is no point in going any further. We will be going ...

Volcano Basin

"The usual smell of sulphur is in the air as you descend, but there is another smell. 'Blood' says your feline companion as she sniffs the air. 'That's unmistakable. Believe me'. As you descend further, the smoke dissipates and you see it; a fresh river of blood. What made this, how, and why? Delve deeper to find out."

...

Bone Swamp

"The bubbling swamp makes you nervous, but no one more so than Polliver, your steward. The mist almost vibrates around him as he shivers. 'It'll be OK, boy. These waters are no danger to us. Not when you have us he-' and suddenly, he is yanked into the fog, screaming. You see tendrils darting in and out of the fog, taking peo...

Deep Cave

"Spiders. I hate Spiders'. And with that, you see the webbing in your peripherals start to vibrate. You are alone in here while your group wait for you outside the deep cave. You hear scurrying as you rush, quicker through the tunnels. You have no idea if the tunnel leads to another exit, or where the entrance even was to beg...

River Town

"The River-folk dwell below', said the steward while rolling his eyes. 'If they cannot do well in this Town, then that is where they will stay!'. It is clear that there is a class issue in this Town, and the rich prey on the poor. As he paces in the other direction, your companion turns to you and whispers 'This visit was sup...

Forgotten Temple

"The crackling of the fire pillars overshadows the sounds of jungle life. 'Someone must have lit these?' asks one of your party. 'No - they are magically summoned flames. They never go out, and were never lit.' answers an old hunched woman as she appears from the jungle tree-line. 'You must be very careful if you desire to mo...

Chapel of the Gods

"The Cult Leader finds himself alone in the dark chapel at sundown for a moment. To make himself feel more at ease, he talks aloud, and mutters to himself, 'The Chapel is haunted, they said. The ghosts of a hundred men, they said. Well I don't believe any of it!', and with that, he feels something hard touch his back, then ru...

Dragon's Jaw

"The wagon is on its last legs, and we don't have the materials to make further repairs. We're almost at the town gate so we must push on, or this storm will be the death of us. As you pass through the forest of tall ancient teeth that scatter the path edge, you see a cloaked figure step out from behind one of them, blocking ...

Giant Egg + FREE encounter & maps for the public!

"I wonder if the creature is still nearby', whispered the boy, with a worried expression. The commander looks at him and with confidence, he says 'These tracks go off towards the mountains and they don't appear to have come back this way. We should be safe, for now'. As the group begin to move around to search the grounds, on...

House on the Hill

"The river runs around the house like it is protected by some sort of invisible barrier. Perhaps a mage lives here, or perhaps it is a prime example of the wonders of nature itself...'. With a quizzical look, your father holds his chin in confusion, as the boat passes around it. Just as your sister begins to reply, you hear '...

Titan Axe

"No one knows why this axe was left here like this, nor who it once belonged to. One thing is certain, and that is just how large this thing is. On approach, it looked impressive, but now that we stand upon it...it's like an island imbedded in the mountain itself! 'I wonder if anyone would notice a piece missing', mused your ...

Rocky Coast

"You never knew a boat would be able to traverse a sea of lava, but that was before you met Shakhani, the mage. Magical properties bolster the boat itself, creating a barrier that completely protects the hull from the heat and molten rock. 'Sir, the lava may be the least of our worries'. You avert your eyes around to see what...

Cavern Complex

"The tide is coming in quicker than you'd have hoped. You don't have much time. 'Quickly! You must come quickly!', said the guide. 'You better know where you're going, otherwise this sword o' mine will have its way with your throat', blurted one of the pirates to him. The guide takes you deeper into the cave system off the be...

Living Quarters

"You can barely see through the thick, black smoke as it pummels you in the face. The heat is unbearable, but you can hear the crying very close by. You went back into the quarters to help those trapped, risking your own life, and possibly those of your companions. You made a choice. But now which way do you turn? Time is run...

Sci-fi? Modern?

Greetings world builders!

I'm getting much closer to being able to launch another wing of Moonlight Maps - sci-fi and modern setting/style battle maps.

This will likely be through a separate Patreon, so not to confuse this one. Although I may have a higher tier available on both P...

Forest Fort

"The area looked deserted, but as you leave the tree line, you see a defended fort on your road. With your superior vision, you can tell there are at least ten guards posted around the walls and barricades. You have firepower in your ranks, but your mightiest weapon may not be that of aggression, nor steel. But perhaps the cl...

Ambush Ridge

"You and your scouting party lie prone along the ridge, overlooking the path down below. 'The enemy convoy is approaching. If we are quick, and silent, we should be able to surpr!...' You feel a cold sensation along your throat, and you know that the enemy had spies of their own along the path. A voice speaks out, 'You should...

Moonlight Searchable Catalogue!

Greetings world builders!

Just a quick update to let you know that we now have a map catalogue!

Every map is searchable, with active links...

Hill Fort

"From the highest point of the fort, looking out of the window, you can see nothing but a blanket of thick mist. If the enemy wanted cover for their approach, the God's have given it to them today. You wonder if you could use it to your advantage somehow, and as you turn, to discuss this with the castle Ward, you hear a long,...

Giant's Footprint

"You've been following the giant's footprints for a couple of days now. Now that you've reached the farm, you're certain the giant is not here. The track has ended, so this makes no sense. Your company decide to rest and make a small campfire while discussing which way to go in the morning. A couple of your companions get rat...

Column Canyon

"As night begins to fall, you approach the river crossing but you cannot hear it. Ordinarily the Grand River is deafening on approach, especially at night time, and at high tide, but there is no sound whatsoever. Something is not right. As you stand at the river bank, looking down into the dry bed below, or what you can make ...

Waterfall Cave

"You didn't believe it at first, but the smell is now confirmed when you see them. Waterfalls of blood. How these came to be you may never know. Thanks to your dark vision, as you walk through the cave you notice a figure stood across the way. Cloaked, and menacing. All of a sudden, the figure flies towards you at an incredib...

Island Fort

"The fort looked almost medieval on approach from the sea, but now you walk the walls it feels even more ancient. The walls are still strong, and can withstand even the mightiest attack. 'Will you make this a more permanent position or is this a passing visit?' said the steward, when all of a sudden you hear a voice cry out. ...

Crystal Bridge

"This place has been empty for what feels like hundreds of years. Cobwebs bigger than you could have imagined line the walls. Corpses cocooned, long dead, line every crack and crevice. Nothing more than bone and armour. The riches you seek are said to lie across the bridge of Melkor, made up of shards jutting from the mountai...

Forest Fork

"You stand at the fork, knowing you should be deciding which way to turn, but you can't. The arcing electricity flickering from the natural structure before you takes all the attention. What is this thing? Is it always doing this, or have we chanced upon it on a rare occurrence of great magical power? While you deliberate wit...

Forest Village

"You revel in the peace you and your companions have found. It doesn't seem real. You look at the landlord as he prepares some cheese boards and ale for some guests. You look at your friends, enjoying a comfortable seat. You breathe in the warm air, and listen to the crackle of the hearth. It all feels so welcome, and so righ...
