Comment Future Maps!

I'm looking to hear what kind of maps people want to see in the future! Feel free to comment any ideas you have and I may pick some to make for future uploads :) If I see a lot of people liking any particular posts, I'll give those suggestions more attention.

*Disclaimer: I don't have too ...

Mage Guild (40x40)

I haven't made too many magic themed maps, so this time I made a mage guild, or perhaps a small college

Nestled in the heart of the bustling city, a mage guild stands as a beacon of arcane knowledge and sanctuary. Its grand chamber is adorned with intr...

Grotto Camp (30x40)

This next map details a camp built in the safety of a grotto. 

As you venture deeper into the cavern's shadowy embrace, the faint murmur of cascading water grows louder, echoing off the damp walls.  High above, a narrow fissure in the rocky ceiling allows slivers of sunli...

Abandoned Temple (30x45)

Hello everyone!

This map features an abandoned temple built in the scenic mountains, with a cascading river passing through it. The two great braziers at the entrance have been unlit as some of the stone begins to crumble and the plants grow unchecked with the absence of its inhabitants.&nb...

Future Adventure Guides?

The previous post of the Bandit Hideout included an example of potential future adventure guides. I was curious to know if anyone would be interested in having more of these in the future. Perhaps a future tier? Let me know what you think!

Underground Hideout (20x30) + Adventure Guide

Hello everyone!

We are close to 500 patrons, which is very exciting! For this map, I wanted to tease a potential future option (new tier?) that would include adventure guides. I'll make a poll about it later~

This map is a bandit hideout hidden in a cave, with an underwater river co...

Shopping District [40x30]

Our next map is perfect for players needing to run errands throughout the city.  With an array of storefronts lining the streets, there's something to captivate every passing traveler. From armor and weaponry to potions and poisons, from books and scrolls to musical instruments and exquisite...

Tourney [40x55]

This next map is of the annual tourney held in the region, an eagerly anticipated event rich with entertainment. Merchants adorn the grounds with their colorful tents, offering an array of wares, drinks, and delectable foodstuffs. Bards, acrobats, and magicians captivate the audience with their m...

Fort Stonewall [50x35]

Our next map details a sturdy fortress positioned strategically near a key trade route. It primarily serves as a shelter for guards due to its remote location, but can also function as a stronghold to protect valuable treasures.

Nestled within the initial perimeter wall, there are stables ...

Caravan

Our next map is a simple but versatile map of a caravan setting up camp in a small clearing along the road.  Weary merchants lay out bedrolls and stoke a couple fires while their horses graze on grass.

For higher tiers, there are variants of a destroyed variant of the camp. Perhaps b...

Ancient Tomb Dungeon [50x32]

Hey everyone, we are finally back to posting! Nothing better to get back into things than a classic dungeon crawl.

This tomb belonged to an ancient civilization. Just inside, there are recent remnants of activity in the form of a couple bedrolls and a smoldering campfire. Perhaps there are...

Dragon Lair

I took a small break from the Brightwater city to work on some cave maps. In this set, I decided to do some simple dragon lair maps for the chromatic dragons.

• The Green dragon features sprawling vines, poisonous mushrooms, and a suspicious fairy circle. 
• The Black dragon...

BRIGHTWATER - Part 2 Docks [35x30]

Our next part of Brightwater takes us to the docks. Found here are a couple warehouses for storing crates and barrels. There are also fish mongers preparing and preserving their catches. Other occupations include a boat carpenter and craftsman making ropes and nets. There is also a shady gambling...

BRIGHTWATER - Part 1

Hello all!

After the poll, I see the majority vote is a preference towards a seamless, fully mapped city. I'll take a swing at doing this, but maybe in the future I'll try out the isometric with key locations mapped out (this would make things like maps of full castles, cathedrals, etc eas...

Which city map style do you prefer?

OPTION 1: Isometric map of city with smaller maps of select locations

PRO:

• Could allow for "bigger" overall city
• Potentially faster map release
• Bigger buildings with more rooms

CON:

• Not seamless
<...

Three buildings exist within the gated estate: a stables, a shed, and the main manor.

Witch House and Extradimensional Tower

The winner of the Spooky Contest was the witch tower! I was happy with the participation, so I made this a two-part map: the witch's house and the witch's extradimensional tower.

THE HOUSE

Deep in the woods, a witch has renovated an old mill into a qu...

It's that time of the year! What's better than a one shot with friends?

Multiple choice is okay! If you like a suggested comment, give it a heart and I'll count it. 

Which map format do you prefer?

Hey everyone! I'll be doing a couple polls to increase interaction and figure out what maps you want to see.
