Jungle Dungeon, Expert

This week's map is the Jungle Dungeon (36x40), another dungeon map! This time around I decided to make something a little different, a dungeon with much larger rooms and few cramped spaces, swapping out doorways for lots of huge pillars. This style of map feels right for a jungle-themed map, but I don't think it would be quit...

Infested Tomb

Hello folks! This week's map is the Infested Tomb (17x25), a small tomb with a fairly alarming insect problem. I can't imagine anything worse, honestly, cause now you have to deal with both the undead and abnormally large bugs. For your sake let's hope they haven't teamed up, or else there will be serious trouble. 

Infested Tomb, Adept

Hello folks! This week's map is the Infested Tomb (17x25), a lil map with big problems- lots and lots of giant bug eggs. There is no chance I would ever step into a place like this, but thankfully my imagination is unable to harm me much more than keeping me up at night. 

Your alternate version of this map is one w...

Infested Tomb, Expert

Hello everyone, I'm back this week with the Infested Tomb (17x25), a small dungeon map with a simple layout and a simple gimmick- it's full of bugs. Or, if that's not your style, I made an alternate version with all the nasty webs and eggs missing, so you don't need to feel limited to working around that concept.

Ransacked Cabin

I'm back again with another map, the Ransacked Cabin (30x30)! This lonely cabin in an Autumn woods shows signs of a struggle, with the front door kicked in and the insides in disarray. I made this map while imagining all of those locations you come across in Skyrim, burned down and looted cabins where if you look around you m...

Ransacked Cabin, Adept

This week's map is the Ransacked Cabin (30x30), a location that's seen some fighting and might present some opportunity to the players if the story allows it. I imagine concerned adventurers might be able to identify what went down here and maybe even learn who the aggressor was, and enterprising adventurers might be able to ...

Ransacked Cabin, Expert

Hello again, folks! This week's map is the Ransacked Cabin (30x30), a map with some implied story inside it. I can easily imagine some adventurers being hired to learn what's been attacking people in the countryside, with this most recent attack being an investigation scene and info-gathering site. Of course, the players aren...

Skull Island

I'm back with the first spooky map of the year, the Skull Island (35x35), though you could argue that many of my maps are spooky in less obvious ways. This Halloween season I've decided to throw subtlety out the window and dive in with straightforward horror right off the bat. So I drew up a little island with a giant skull o...

Skull Island, Adept

Hey look, a Halloween map! Is it subtle? No! Is the concept easy to integrate into the average campaign? Not particularly! Does it look cool? Yeah! It's the Skull Island (35x35), a little strip of land with a preposterously large skull sitting in the middle. Why? I don't know, but I think it's fun!

Your alternate versio...

Skull Island, Expert

Hello again, Experts/Masters! This week's map is the Skull Island (35x35), one of my yearly Halloween maps! I'll be making another one for this next week and maybe another if you don't mind me releasing them after Halloween (I got off to a slow start this year)- I've got some fun ideas I'm looking forward to trying out.

Cavern Basin

Hello again, everyone! This week's map is the Cavern Basin (30x40), another cave map! While this one doesn't perfectly line up with the previous map, I thought it might be nice to make one or two extra maps that could be used in conjunction with each other, say if the party decides to follow the stream leading out the top of ...

Cavern Basin, Adept

I'm back after taking a week off with a new map, the Cavern Basin (30x40)! This time I've decided to make an extra cave map, sorta building on the Gloomy Cave. Meaning, this one won't perfectly align with the other but I've left avenues for them to be easily used together. 

Anyway, your alternate version of this ma...

Cavern Basin, Expert

I'm back again with a new map! This time it's the Cavern Basin (30x40), a largish cave map featuring a dangerous amount of water. Dangerous because of how much room there is for critters to be swimming around within, or dangerous because it's up to you to decide just how deep it is at any point. For all I know, maybe it's all...

Gloomy Cave

Hello again, everyone! This week's map is the Gloomy Cave (30x40), a very regular cave map. I made this one in response to a demand for a cave to use in conjunction with last week's Forest Cave, and after scanning all of the cave maps I've previously realized that there really weren't many there that would do the job, many ha...

Gloomy Cave, Adept

1Hello there, Adepts! This week's map is the Gloomy Cave (30x40), a nice and basic cave map without much muss or fuss- we've got rocks and water, and your extra version comes with glowing mushrooms. Bing bang boom.

1. So, for t...

Gloomy Cave, Expert

Hello again, folks! This week's map is the Gloomy Cave (30x40), a basic cave map to fit the bill for most of your smallish cave adventures. We've got tight hallways, underground streams, and shadowy lighting- everything a growing adventurer needs.

Your alternate versions of this map are Funky and Subterranean! The Funky...

Forest Cave

Hi again, everyone! This week's map is the Forest Cave (40x40), a particularly large forest map. You can always tell when I'm feeling like having a good time when I start drawing forests again, they've always been my personal favorite to draw and I'll often return to them when I need an easier week. 

This time arou...

Forest Cave, Adept

Hello there, Adepts! This week's map is the Forest Cave (40x40), a somewhat bigger map than usual that features a hearty expanse of rocky forest as well as the entrance to a cave tucked away at the back. This is a nice map to use as you prepare your party to enter a cave, perhaps hinting at what's living inside there or outri...

Forest Cave, Expert

I'm back again, this time with the Forest Cave (40x40)! This large map features some serious rock walls, big ones that reward crafty adventurers for being prepared or particularly good at climbing stuff.  Or at least they'll feel like they've gained an advantage until they need to quickly descend from the ledge, maybe du...

Flimsy Bridge

Hello again, everyone- this week's map is the Flimsy Bridge (30x30), a rickety plank bridge spanning a trench. It's been a minute since I've drawn a forest map, so I took the opportunity to take a critical eye to how I've most recently drawn them and decided to draw one that's a little more similar to my classic palette. Let ...

Flimsy Bridge, Adept

I'm back again with the Flimsy Bridge (30x30), a forest map that continues on the recent theme of locations with limiting terrain! Nah, I'm kidding, I just wanted to draw a forest again and one of you suggested a rickety plank bridge a while back.

Your alternate version of this map is Rainy, featuring some fairly heavy-...

Flimsy Bridge, Expert

Hello there, Experts and Masters! This week's map is the Flimsy Bridge (30x30), a simple trench with a bridge over. I thought I would make an easier map this week, but then I didn't, but that's par for the course for me- whenever I set out to give myself a break I usually find ways to make it complicated. 

Anyway, ...

Volcanic Cavern

Hello folks, I'm back this week with what will probably be the final volcano map I make for a while, the Volcanic Cavern (30x30). I've gotten a few extra interesting suggestions as well, so I might just end up making one or two more, depends on how this next week goes. 

Anyway, that's about it- come back next week ...

Volcanic Cavern, Adept

3This week's map is the Volcanic Cavern (30x30), a pretty simple cave map with a few pools of lava to add some excitement! The layout is somewhat simple, but I've been enjoying making basic and straightforward maps recently, feeling that they're much more easily used in the average campaign than the more complicated ones I so...

Volcanic Cavern, Expert

Welcome back! This week's map is the Volcanic Cavern (30x30), another fairly straightforward volcano map to slip into your campaigns without needing too much lead-in. It always bugs me when I find a map I want to use because of the layout but there are all kinds of props that don't make any sense for the story or combat, so I...

Lava Lake

Hi again everyone, this week's map is the Lava Lake (35x25)! This one was suggested by Craig O'Brien in the comments of last weeks map, where they requested a map of mostly lava with many islands to jump across, with the sides matching up with my previous couple maps (2022-09-06 13:14:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Lava Lake, Adept

3Hi again, Adepts! This week's map is the Lava Lake (35x35), a uniquely dangerous map with tons of lava and a smattering of stone platforms for your players to leap across. 

Your alternate version of this map is a very fun Astral remake, where I've recolored everything and set it up with a swirly space-y background...

Lava Lake, Expert

Hi again, folks! This week's map is the Lava Lake (35x25), another basic volcano map with a much greater emphasis on lava than the previous few. This time the combat flow will be very different, as your players will need to jump and hop between a series of crumbly rock platforms in order to traverse the lake- and I'd bet that...

Lava River

This week I made the Lava River (25x25), as requested it's another basic volcanic map to help add some content to the middle parts of adventures in this terrain. Not all combats take place at sacrificial altars hanging out over a volcano, sometimes you just need to cross a bridge with a cart and a total jerk is blocking your ...

Lava River, Adept

This week's map is the Lava River (25x25), another simple map for the interstitial combats of your volcanic adventures. And, because I thought it might be handy, I prepared each version of this map both with and without the bridge and ruins, changing the flow of the map drastically. 

The Adept alternate version of ...
