Manta-Class Shuttle

This small shuttle took inspiration for its shape from manta rays. I wanted to make a space ship that would have a bit more organic feel to it. I actually intended on making this even more organic, but it turned out as a pretty standard space opera spaceship when looking at its interior.

The Basilisk Lair

When the adventurers enter this dungeon, they will quickly notice the stone statues. A closer look reveals that these statues are actually petrified adventurers who have tried to defeat the basilisk.

The Ghost Bridge

This bridge with a small guard tower looks abandoned, but when the adventurers try to cross the bridge they will be ambushed by an angry ghosts of a long since dead guardsmen who betrayed their lord and let the enemy cross the bridge.

The Gnoll Claw Caves

The Gnoll Claw Caves are named after the three sharp rocks. The caves provide a good shelter for wandering monsters, like gnolls, orcs or even trolls, and other wandering marauders such as bandits.

Trion-Class Trader

The Trion-class trader has three powerful ion engines and a small cargo hold. This type of ship is often used by free-traders, but also by explorers and bounty hunters because of its easy maintenance and cheap spare parts. It is also exceptionally easy to refit with weapons and more powerful shields because of its powerful reactor core.  

Spaceport Town

The idea for the map was provided by one of my Adventurer tier patrons. This small town has a small spaceport with two landing areas and bazaars in addition to a number of other buildings. 

I actually like this map so much I'm going to use it in our Star Wars campaign :D

The Crystal City Town Square

The idea for this map was provided by one of my Merchant tier patrons. This is a map of the center of a strange town carved into crystal formations. The map has a central administrative building, a weird factory, two shops, an inn and a ruined building. At the center of the town square there's a glowing crystal. 

The Scrap Crawler

In the middle of the desert a hulking vehicle stands still. Its loading ramp is open, but nobody is in sight. Is this a trap or could the abandoned looking scrap crawler have still something of worth inside? 

Yeah. I know. You can't pass this without having a quick look first...

Through the Worm

Oh no! The only short cut through the High Wall goes through this giant worm corpse... or is it even really dead?

The Sage's Keep

This small keep or a tower is a home to a sage who is well known by the locals for his strange powers. But nobody knows he gets his powers from a weird stone hidden in a cave below the keep.

The Storm Bandit Hideout

The storm bandits have built their hideout to a small cove on a flying mountain. They do quick raids down from the clouds and trade the loot they are not using themselves to the storm giants, dragons and other creatures living on the nearby flying islands.

The Goblin Camp

A small group of goblins have left their lair scouting ahead for good places to hunt small game, pillage poorly defended settlements or ambush travelers on the road. The goblins have camped into a cavern on the side of the mountain. If anyone goes to explore these caves, they'll find that the goblins have entered the caves from an old dungeon hidden inside the mountain.

Hello, please find attached the map collection for October... and the rest of the delayed collections. Sorry about that :/

The Wrecked Orbital Station

The Earth's orbit is restricted zone. Not only it's filled with hyper-kinetic debris, there are also rogue robots and nanoswarms stalking and hiding in the abandoned space stations and wrecked spaceships. This station has remained mainly intact and it's laboratory computer's have valuable data that could be still recovered by a skilled and insanely brave – or stupid – team of p...

The Tomb of the Two Lords

The tomb of the two lords is a holy tomb that has been guarded by day and night for generations. Now a messega just arrived that the guards were killed and eerie chanting was heard from inside the tomb.

The Mountainside Temple

The temple of Hieta, is located beyond the dry wasteland and build inside a lonely mesa standing in the middle of the desert. The temple has been abandoned for ages, but legends tell that the well of the temple has unique healing qualities. Some say it can even stop aging, but that must be just old wives' tales. 

This map comes with three different versions and they are ...

The Coffins of Gold

In this map there is a mine that has broken into an old collapsed underground tomb with multiple coffins decorated with gold. The accidental tomb raiders were trying to take the coffins out of the tomb when something attack them. Only one of the miners survived to tell the tale of what happened.

The Trickster's Trials

The trickster god's temple is placed in the middle of a shallow lake or bay. The temple itself is located underground and consists of five doors, but only one leads to the actual temple. The other doors lead to humiliating traps.

WIP: Wrecked Space Station

We have started playing Eclipse Phase at our office and the first adventure... or mission... should be in a couple of days. The mission will be set on a wrecked space station in Earth's orbit. 

The mission site is in a restricted zone because of the dense debris fields in the area and possible TITAN rogue AI presence. Nevertheless the Firewall sentinels are going to sneak in...

The Smuggler's Dungeon

I like smugglers. It's an excellent archetype and works well as allies or antagonists for the player characters. So, here's another smuggler themed map. Well, of course it can be used for other purposes too, like as a hidden resistance base, a thieve gangs lair or a base for river bandits.

The river could be an underground river or just a regular river running through a narrow pass. There...

Asteroid Base E41

Here I wanted to make a base with an open hangar sealed by an energy field. My idea was to have this as an asteroid base with artificial gravity etc, but this works as well as a base built on a planet with an atmosphere. 

When drawing this map, I was thinking of a mercenary base or an abandoned base with some important information left behind and when the adventurer's arrive at the l...

The Stone Keep

This map was actually supposed to be a sci-fi map of sorts, but then I was too eager to test the style I used here for the stone walls. 

Anyway, I hope you like it and find use for it :)

The Dwarven Rivergate

On the way to the dwarven city of Hakku there's an old rivergate now infested with goblins and orcs. Passing the rivergate can save over a days worth of travel time, but it is a known fact that taking this route usually means only trouble. The creatures that have taken over the rivergate are ambushing any travelers who are careless or adventurous enough – or in so much hurry – that they cho...

The Tomb of Devas

When I started drawing this map, the big statue at the center of the main hall became a sort of a center piece for the whole map. I did not come up with a clear story for this map, but instead added various features that might offer different uses for this map. 

Perhaps there are creatures living in the cave that pose as the deities the tomb or the temple was originally built for. Or...

The Bugbear Lair

Small caves are perfect for short "side quests". You can inhabit them with marauding humanoids, beasts or other creatures, like bugbears in this case. Well, the map was just named after bugbears, but you can use what ever nasty critters you like ;) 

The cave has a main entrance hidden behind some big rocks and there's a small back entrance on the other side of the caves. This could b...

Crumbling Castle

Ancient ruined castles with overgrown vegetation and crumbled walls have always been fascinating locations in fantasy RPG's for me. So, here's one :) 

In the cellar there's a room behind the collapsed hallway. I would treat this as a secret door to see if the characters can notice that there's something behind the fallen blocks of stone and gravel. 

The map is a...

Progenitor Laboratory

I have wanted to make an "alien dungeon" for quite sometime already. This is my shot at it. I wanted to add strange shaped rooms mixed with cavern-like structures and more symmetric rooms. While drawing this I was thinking of the caves and structures you could see in Prometheus and Arrival for example. 

I think that this "alien dungeon" could work in a fantasy setti...
