#dnd map

i think i dont talk about my cartography hobby enough. THIS!!! is a map i made for one of the locations in campaign: a PC's family manor!! We're talking creepy kooky addams family type people, so no need for a house layout that makes sense, just something that's big, dark, and perfect for a bunch of mortician pallid elves hehehe

Hello, everyone!

Tracking a giant centipede that robbed them of a precious artifacts, the players enter a cave full of shiny crystals.

They begin to explore, trying to reclaim what’s theirs. But to their surprise, they find something even better! A tomb, full of magic items.

Unfortunately now they’re surrounded by giant centipedes!

The creature tokens for this map are a Cavern Centipide, a Giant Mole and an Unspeakable Aberration. Emerald tier gets the Giant Mole while Diamond tier gets all three. In addition, Sapphire tier gets extra creature token variants.

Something lives at the top of the dark tower. The cellar holds prisoners who stopped screaming weeks ago. The library holds books that read themselves. And the portal room — well. Don't touch anything in the portal room.

Welcome to The Wizard's Tower! This free map pack features 12 total maps including the tower approach, first floor, cellar prison, alchemist laboratory, library, portal rooms, ritual hall, wizard's room and tower summit!

Greetings!

A desperate plea from the coastal village has sent the adventurers looking for an amulet said to keep the storms at bay. The amulet is rumored to be located inside a cave near the cliffs above the Pale Sea.

But before they can reach the cave, they must cross a rickety bridge that is on the end of its life.

While the crossing seems to be going fine for our heroes, out of the waves surges a Giant Enemy Crab. Some of them lose their balance, and the bridge is about to collapse.

What will they do now?

The way I make megadungeon maps such as this Underdark region is heavily inspired by Hollow Knight. I like the vertical-slice-of-an-anthill style, and to make it easier for me to run my adventures, I add details with life and colour to the maps. I know at a glance whether a cave is full of strange fungi or trapped by kobolds.

This map is only partially filled out, because my players didn't explore the whole thing. Some areas are sketched out, but not yet filled in, similar to unvisited areas in the Hollow Knight games.

All the details were done by hand, each pencil stroke, and I can't believe I actually had the patience for it all

A rural outpost established to patrol the surrounding countryside and keep roads safe - and ensure that local taxes are paid on time and in full. It's a simple defensive structure, consisting of a ten foot stone curtain wall, barracks, and a square, two story tower with battlements. It is unlikely that it would withstand any serious attack or siege, but is sufficient to defend against peasant uprisings and local banditry. The garrison consists of three squads of soldiers (5 men + a sergeant in each) led by a single officer. +++
