Pirate Cave [25x40]

Pirate Cave [25x40]

Dear friends,

New map!

The party, adventuring in your setting's main city, decided to make a bold play. In most cases, that didn't go as they wished, and they were forced to relocate their adventuring elsewhere. They oiled the smuggling mechanism with a pouch of gold, finding themselves under the cargo in one of many merchant ships i...

Ruined House [25x25]

Ruined House [25x25]

Dear friends,

New map!

Sometimes, a small herbalist's side quest takes the entire party deep into the forest. It all started with downtime activities where the barbarian was tasked to hunt the lunch. The wizard decides to explore the local flora, and then the rolls happen. Barbarian didn't have his day with survival checks, and the w...

Ancient Catacombs [30x35]

Ancient Catacombs [30x35]

Dear friends,

New map!

Whenever your party discovers something above the ground, you must improvise and prepare what's below! Even though you didn't prepare for all the crazy rolls, you'd need something underground for them to explore. These ancient catacombs are a perfectly dusty and ominous place to face them ...

Fishing Village [25x25]

Fishing Village [25x25]

Dear friends,

New map! The road continues somewhere in the coastal region of your setting when a small fishing village presents itself to the traveling party. The adventurers enter a small, salt-corroded tavern. Soon after they set foot in, a fisherman with a distinct mark on his face approached them, offering the har...

Crossroad Tree [30x30]

Crossroad Tree [30x30]

Dear friends,

New map! I believe you can see how much I like forests and travel settings. There is always something magical during travels, and since I love the high-fantasy medieval setting, there must be plenty of forest maps!

And this crossroad tree is one of them! Whether you use it as a Hanged Man's Tree from th...

Village Tavern [25x40] [2 floors]

Village Tavern [25x40] [2 floors]

Dear friends,

New map! It's never enough taverns, inns, and places to calm your belly down, wash the dust from the long road, and hear a rumor or two! I wanted to make the tavern in the context of a larger village so you could place an assassin or two on the roofs, waiting for happy hour to end!

We started one campaign in a place lik...

Mountain Camp [40x40]

Mountain Camp [40x40]

Dear friends,

New map! While chasing that ever-elusive bad guy, your party always stumbled across small, scattered camps. Bandits build temporary ones, and the adventurers often find the encampments left in a hurry. But, after some good investigation and survival checks, all tracks point to the large encampment deep into the mountains.

Desert Village [25x25]

Desert Village [25x25]

Dear friends,

New map! There is something magical about desert sand, arid areas, and exploration under the burning sun. Whether your party is in the gorge, inside the pyramid, or taking a break in the oasis, the desert setting is alluring.

I haven't watched Dune 2 yet, but I was inspired by it and made this desert village View Post

Lighthouse [30x30]

Lighthouse [30x30]

Dear friends,

New map! I realized that I had never made a lighthouse, and it was about time to fix that! Here's one! I played a little bit with the perspective and am thrilled with the result!

This is the far outpost around Stormwatch, a coastal settlement of strategic importance. Some would say it was haunted, inhab...

City Gate [25x35]

City Gate [25x35]

Dear friends,

Last map of the month! I love urban setting, medieval settlements, and possibilities maps like this one offer. Rooftop chases, sieges, rogue business, city crawls, zombies, freeing the city, and much more can happen here!

This is the City Gate, an urban map of the same town/city drawing style, so you ca...

Mushroom Cave [25x25]

Mushroom Cave [25x25]

Dear friends,

New map! Today, we venture deep into the layers of the earth to a place some call the Underdark. Flora, fauna, and everything you face down there is either shiny, deadly or makes you feel dizzy. Or all of the above. The first step into the unknown begins with the somewhat familiar cave.

The only recognizable thing in th...

Temple Ruins [20x35]

Temple Ruins [20x35]

Dear friends,

New map! What's better when casually strolling through a random forest than bumping into ancient temple ruins? I know - combat that follows because one of your light-hearted party members stepped on the wrong dry branch!

What was this? A temple? An old church? A remnant of an old settlement washed away by the evil force...

Interrogation Dungeon [25x25]

Interrogation Dungeon [25x25]

Dear friends,

First map of the March! We all love dungeon delving, maybe a little bit more as players than as DMs, but that's the essence of RPGs. I'm sure your party had its fair share of various dungeons, but what about that one specific, niche underground space dedicated for t̶o̶r̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ interrogation?

Eventually every du...

Watermill [20x30]

Watermill [20x30]

Dear friends,

The last map of the month! During the party's travel, the one with the sharpest nose (usually the dwarf, but better not tell them) caught the smell of freshly baked bread. Half a mile ahead, an old watermill emerges, with a hard-working family baking the bread of the flour leftovers.

They invite the adv...

Cabin in the North [20x30]

Cabin in the North [20x30]

Dear friends,

Introducing a new map! This time we venture into the frozen jaws of the wild North, where everything struggles to survive. That might be the case for adventurers, but not for the seasoned arctic hunter, Jerron, who has made the unforgiving terrain his home. 

Although grim and frostbitten, his heart...

Traveler's Inn [30x20] [2 Floors]

Traveler's Inn [30x20] [2 Floors]

Dear friends,

New map! As the weary party approaches one of the many curves in the forest road, they notice that the road has improved, as if someone has been maintaining it. A two-story building comes into view just as the four people on horseback feel as hungry as the monster they had slain not too long ago. Finally, they find a place of...

Hidden Camp [20x30]

Hidden Camp [20x30]

Dear friends,

New month, new map! I believe this hidden camp will come in handy for all you DMs who need a quick detour from the main road. I mean, some effort was put into shaping the natural cave into a habitat, so this camp could be significant, right? It could hide some valuable information your party missed a few sess...

Party's Estate - Interior [20x27] [2 Floors]

Dear friends,

The second part of the party's estate - interior!
A perfect home for 4-6 adventurers, especially if you have a hermit wizard like we do - and the guy loves basements!
Use this building for whatever you see fit, and I hope it will serve as a perfect home to your party! See you next month!

Party's Estate - Exterior [20x27] [2 Levels]

Dear friends,

New map and the double release on the last day of January! 

Whenever I play D&D, my party always strives to own its own home. However, our choices are often borderline legal and goofy, and we seldom have the opportunity to buy or build a house. Okay, we still save the day, and this time we were...

Small Islands [45x45]

Small Islands [45x45]

Dear friends,

New map! Lots of you play coastal and naval campaigns, pirate raids, and sea exploration. I'm sure these islets - or small islands - will come in handy. Maybe an important NPC or a quest-giver lives in a hut here, as I included in 2 variations. Or is it a dangerous hermit/retired pirate waiting for the party ...

Mage Abode [20x30]

Dear friends,

First map of the new year 2024! I hope you all had a great time! 

I love swamp settings and swamp encounters, so I made another one. This is a mage abode, a witch's house, a sorceress's retreat, or a warlock's residence. However you name it, it's a house in a swampy area, ready for the party's visi...

Dear friends,

Last map of the 2023! Everybody needs a road where bandits can surprise your party with an ambush. Quickly get to the high ground, 'cause they have cover! This road ambush map is inspired by one of the earliest adventures I played, the Lost Mine of Phandelver!

Thank you for your support...

Ancient Tomb [24x40]

Dear friends,

Your party accepted another undeadish quest? No problem! Here's the Ancient Tomb, a nice underground map for all the dungeon-delving shenanigans! Pick any of the provided variations - my favorite is the horror one!

I wish you all happy holidays, and I hope you enjoy them with your friends and family and...

River Market [20x20]

Dear friends,
Who doesn't need a river market full of spicy and tasty food? Stock on rations and supplies during the riverboat trip!

I made different backgrounds this time. Village, swamp, forest, or just a river full of boats; change the background as you need!

My supporters get Hi-Res maps, a total of 10 map variations View Post

Fossilized Inferno Isles [20x30]

Fossilized Inferno Isles [20x30]

Dear friends,

Be careful; the floor is lava! Fire spells have no effect here, someone should explain that to a sorcerer, but it ain’t gonna be me. My sorcerer would be very angry if someone told her that she can’t use fireballs or scorching rays here. I didn’t have any lava maps, and I wanted to change that. Don’t worry, there will...

Cabin in the Woods [20x40]

Dear friends,

Who doesn’t need the classic scene from horror movies? A cabin in the woods or by the lake is a perfect opportunity to get those zombies and undead out of the ground!

If the adventurers are traveling through the wilderness and encounter a sudden storm, they might seek refuge in the cabin. It can be th...

Cultist Dungeon [35x49]

Dear friends,

New map is here! Cultist dungeon is a perfect place for a stealth mission and multiple fights! I made the map a bit more generic so that you can tweak it for your adventure.

As you progress deeper into the dungeon, you may encounter treasure chests filled with rations, scrolls, or other weird items! You...

Bridge over Chasm [20x20]

Dear friends,

New map! Bridge over chasm seems like a great map for every campaign. Time for a fight on the bridge and some dexterity saving throws, or someone will be thrown into the pit of darkness! I like to make maps with multiple high grounds, to make fights more intense. Tell me in the comments what do you think abou...

Ship in a Cave [40x40]

Dear friends,

This new map is inspired by the legendary dungeon in WoW, Deadmines.  I really like the concept of the last part of that dungeon, so I decided to make something similar for you! I don’t have many pirate-like maps, so it was a delight to make one. It’s a perfect opportunity to drop that Pirate Lord Bo...

Hamlet [25x45]

Hamlet [25x45]

Dear friends,

I believe that everyone needs a good, peaceful hamlet map that has a place for fights! I made some variations that can be very usable, such as burning houses, rain, haunted, a big chasm across the hamlet, a caravan market, and more.

Is there maybe a house where your local hero used to live? Or maybe you...
