Swamp's Edge [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Swamp's Edge [30x40] from patreon

Bubble bubble toil and trouble. Spooky season is upon us once again. This map set brings you a classic encounter with your local hag living at the edge of a swamp. Or a shady bandit hideout. Haunted house. So many possibilities.

This set features both individual maps and a phased map. I love a good phased map that shows...

Equinox Glade [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Equinox Glade [30x40] from patreon

A bit of seasonal nostalgia this month as summer starts to wane into autumn for some of us in the northern hemisphere. This map was inspired by a scene that played out in a homebrew game some 10+ off years ago. The setting was a forest cave that opening up to the sky, allowing roots and vines to form the ceiling and crawl alo...

Triad Ruins [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Triad Ruins [30x40] from patreon

A stroll through the woods brings the party to a trio of unsuspicious ruins. Broken towers and columns rise out of the tall grasses along the hills. Was this once tall site taller and beaten down by the ravages of time? Or has it been buried in the earth and the true entrances lay below?

This one started as a Greco-Roma...

Mushroom Forest [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Mushroom Forest [30x40] from patreon

A bit of whimsy for this month's map as we venture into a fantastical forest of giant mushrooms.

I typically paint dark and moody images, so this was a fun deviation from the norm. I really wanted to go back to one of the very first maps I did and reuse the color palette or soft blue greens for the foliage. There was ...

Watchtower Ruins [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Watchtower Ruins [30x40] from patreon

Winds howl across the barren land. Flitting from rocky outcrop to sparse overhangs, the party navigates the open landscape. Easy targets for an aerial ambush. They make their way to the only shelter; a lone tower perched at the edge of a cliff. Is it long abandoned? Or are less than friendly occupants waiting for unprepar...

Sunken Shrine [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Sunken Shrine [30x40] from patreon

The damp, salty sea air clings to you just as surely as the chill seeps into your bones. The tower stands firm against the wrath of the ocean gods, but holds no comfort or safety within. A lonely monument to those lost to the depths.

You descend down into the darkened stairs, careful of the cracks weeping s...

Basalt Lair [30x40] - Red Dragon Lair

Sam Rabbitt post Basalt Lair [30x40] - Red Dragon Lair from patreon

Rising heat. The choking stench of sulfur fumes. Basalt columns rise to form a cathedral of volcanic rock. Across the floor lay the stone remains of a dragon fallen long ago; now turned to stone. Or perhaps some cult shaped the molten rock in one's image. Watch your step as you search for secrets within the flames. You ne...

Forest Explorer [90x90]

Sam Rabbitt post Forest Explorer [90x90] from patreon

Returning to some old favorites of mine, the month's feature is a monster of a map. The largest I have ever painted...and not something I'll undertake lightly again. I've been getting out and about doing some winter hiking and plein air painting and had the itch to create another wilderness set...dreaming of warmer temperatur...

Cavern Cold [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Cavern Cold [30x40] from patreon

Underneath and through the grinding ice, brave adventurers trek to world of frozen caverns. Creaks of the moving glaciers above resound like thunder. The slight trickles of melt water glisten off the blue walls. Bone chilling cold brings an added layer of loneliness to the area. In the distance, shadows and darts of light...

Winter Royale [40x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Winter Royale [40x40] from patreon

Kicking off the month with a bit of festive fun for everyone. This is just a bit of silliness as the winter cold starts to creep in for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. Intended to be a fun little one shot map for a battle royale or quirky puzzle adventure. For copywrite purposes, I can neither confirm (nor deny) the g...

Hall of Stars [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Hall of Stars [30x40] from patreon

Footsteps echo off in the distance of abandoned halls. Shadows of trees long turned to stone grasp for the passing strangers. At the corridor's end, a glint of light bounces off blackened mirrors. Was this once a grand banquet hall? An audience chamber? Small stars appear gleaming in the stonework. Old tales creep into th...

Tower Falls [30x60]

Sam Rabbitt post Tower Falls [30x60] from patreon

Winds whistle through the canyons carrying the scent of green things and crystal waters. Sunlight warm the rockface as the party scales cliffs downward; picking up the trail of bandits concealed in a cave...or a beast guarding secrets in its lair. Or perhaps this is simply another stop on the journey through the Underdark. View Post

Spooky season is upon us fellow map mages! In celebration, here is a little something to help you with any holiday one shot plans. This map makes for a fun little boss area or a battle royale. What'll your party face here? Skelies and ghosts? Classic zombies? An army of candy corn people? Endless ghoulish fun awaits.

Green Lair [30x40]

Enter the dense woods to home of an ancient forest guardian. Standing in the clearing, the skeletal remains of drakes long since perished rise up, struggling to fight the forest reclaiming grown. Trophies from past adventurers left to rot? A warning to rivals seeking to claim this territory? Or simply another mysterious point...

Journeying father into the depths of the earth, the party comes to a grand cavern. The scent of sulfur and molten rock stifles the air. As the heat beckons, the party winds down a crackling stone staircase cut into the rocky floor. Before them lies a bridge of stone pillars, leading the way to a fiery entrance. What can be fo...

Fey Ruins [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Fey Ruins [30x40] from patreon

A quiet forest path. The sweet scent of spring and tang of ancient magics in the air. The party stumbles upon the stones of an old building. A shrine? Or the last remnants of a larger structure? Perhaps this is merely a relic to forgotten times; waiting for the day the forest finally reclaims the carved stones. Or perhaps the...

Elemental Pools [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Elemental Pools [30x40] from patreon

Journeying across more mysterious lands the party hears tales of a dried pond in the middle of the barren grasslands. Cradled by a crescent moon, the water remnants pool in colorful puddles. Tinted by minerals...or arcane components? Each one a window into another world holding secrets.

Something a little different and ...

Return to the Astral Sea and discover the guardians of The Void. Swooping through the endless space, the Nightmare seeks to consume all it finds in the cosmic wasteland. Is this creature native to the astral sea? Or a wanderer, far from its home and trapped in an unknown realm.

This was a really fun one to work on, and ...

Hello map mages! Here's a little free map set for you. This was a quick sketch map I did last month and polished up a bit. Nothing super fancy to it, as I've left it fairly bare of tiny detail furnishings so you can theater of the mind.

The concept is an old Alchemist and their apprentice(s) have built a home around the...

"Through fog and storm, beyond the safe harbors of civilization. We charted a course known only to legend and children of the sea. Past the razor shoals and cathedral of bones. Grey dark cliffs broke the horizon, and waves paved with a road of sunken tributes. A lonely and cursed place...The Deepwater Throne. Crews  ...

Hidden in the humid mists, a sleeping settlement stand guard at the mouth of the river. Roots reach out through the waters, pulling travelers closer to an unknown fate. All while the shadows and calls of the forest beckon with promise...and warning.

This was a huge one this month. It started as another simple v...

Frozen Dreams [30x40]

Sam Rabbitt post Frozen Dreams [30x40] from patreon

Deep in the arctic seas, the waves stand as frozen towers. A place of power left from ancient times long since forgotten by written history. As auroras dance in the sky, what remains of the chilly sea pounds the rock and ice. Shipwrecks and standing stones emerge from the winter landscape, marking the end and beginning alike ...

Hello and a happy 2023 to everyone! There have been a lot of things happening behind the screen, from health issues to larger day job projects, and a few projects that are now in limbo with the recent shake ups in tabletop licenses. 

I'm hopeful to find some time to return to map making, and get a better...

Hidden in the mountain paths. In the depths of the earth. Buried in places forgotten by time. Behold Skullmaw cave. As the road opens up, brave adventurers listen for the sighs of wind rushing down the cliffs. In front of them, the stones jut out in the shape of some dreaded beast. Stalagmites forming razor sharp teeth; waiti...

Journey to the Underdark - Part 1

Sam Rabbitt post Journey to the Underdark - Part 1 from patreon

Here we are folks, the first part of a larger Underdark/cave series that I've been working on. I love a good cavern crawl, but always found that cave maps tend to be more function over form. They may mostly be rocks, but they deserve all the artistic love of sprawling forests and treasure laden temples. This is is the first p...

Hello everyone! Here's a little something extra this month. This is some of the original art I did for the Jungle Ruins/Bromeliad Leap map set. The pack contains the above wallpaper to help set the scene, and two dungeon crawl variants of the temple complex itself. The dungeon maps are sparse and great for those who enjoy the...

In the endless caverns of the night, rises a lone tower. Carved from the hollows of rocky pillars, the tower spans several stories high. Outside, smaller structures dot the landscape. Inside, a single chamber that reaches into the ceiling vaults. A temple to some dark entity that rules over the Underdark. Or perhaps the hideo...

The forest is home to many creatures fae and foul. Hidden within the leafy depths, the path winds to stop before an ancient tree; split and dried, but clinging to life. A Stone guardian keeps watch over its secrets; a den beneath bough and root. The lair of a great forest spirit? Werewolf pack? Or just another spider infested...

Winds sweep down the cliffside, carrying the sounds of unrest to the village below.

Bubbling sounds and oozing smells fill this map set. This tar pit is the final resting place of one unfortunate wyvern (or dragon if you're not a stickler for anatomy specifics). Perhaps there was a treasure hoard long ago at this location before the pit covered it. Or maybe this location is simply a really cool wilderness en...
