I've returned from my travels in Scotland! I visited a few castles, and one of my favorites was Eilean Donan. I've made a heavily inspired map, trying to be accurate with many of the rooms being based on what we saw. However, I took some liberties and guesswork here and there. This was quite a big map, so I apologize it took a while for a release.
Some of the rooms we got to see were th...
Nestled within a rocky gorge stands a weather-worn checkpoint, its presence marked by two rickety wooden bridges stretching across the chasm, each anchored between looming palisade watchtowers. A modest encampment occupies the grounds, tasked with overseeing all who attempt passage through the narrow mountain pass. Suspended above the path below, stone-filled troughs await the pull of a lever â...

I wanted to try doing a hollowed-stump type map, maybe for a witch or hag brewing potions in the woods. This dwelling spans four distinct levels:
Living Quarters:
A rickety stairway climbs the exterior of the hollowed trunk to the third floor, guiding guests to a deceptively welcoming home. Just inside the entryway is a spiral staircase leading to the upper floor. ...
An alternative idea for variants would be to keep the SAME biome for the map and have different building variants. For simplicity's sake, I would tend towards the more popular biomes, or do whatever feels most fitting for the specific map.
I would do 1, maybe 2 biomes, but making more than that would exponentially increase the time and effort required to make every combi...
A classic cabin in the woods.
A lone cabin stands deep in the heart of the wilderness, its chimney puffing thin plumes of smoke into the crisp forest air. The scent of home-cooked stew lingers on the wind, and the warm glow of lanterns spills through the windows, a beacon of quiet, simple living.
Ancient Curse – The family has been afflicted with a ...

Your input will help me focus on the versions that are most useful to you. First, let me know which variants you regularly use, and then I’ll follow up with a poll on what you’d like to see next. Thanks for your feedback!

I wanted to make a much simpler map after making that big one earlier this month.
Deep within the ancient forest, where towering elder trees weave a canopy of shadow and light, magic lingers in the air like a whispered secret. Strange creatures move unseen through the underbrush, and the wind carries echoes of something old and powerful. At the base of a massive, timeworn tree stands a ...
I probably could have thought of a better name but alas.
This expansive coastal map features a grand sea-themed tavern set aboard a docked ship. Given its intricate, elaborate carpet, the tavern is fittingly named The Compass Rose. Here, patrons revel in hearty food and drink, while those in need of rest can retire below deck to private quarters.
Beyond the ship, a...

I had a deep desire to make a secret monster fighting den.
Carved into the sheer face of a towering cliff, this once-mighty dwarven stronghold has been repurposed into the estate of a wealthy and eccentric hunter. While the front-facing chambers serve as living quarters, the deeper halls conceal a far more sinister purpose—a hidden gambling den perched above a brutal monster-fighting p...
After that last big map, I needed to go to something simple. What's better than a classic tomb?
This unashamedly Skyrim-inspired map allows for encounters with skeletons, mummies, grave-robbing bandits, and more. There are plenty opportunities for environmental hazards and traps too. At the end of the crypt is the tomb of the lover's wife, who is protected vigilantly event after death by ...

Here is the university merged together!
Note for the VTT: The three parts are separate maps, but there are tiles at the "crossroads" between each map to change the scenes and teleport tokens.
Patrons can access these maps right here:
Happy New Years everyone!
Here is our final part of the arcane university: the classrooms. The classrooms of the arcane university form the heart of academic life, offering students a diverse and comprehensive magical education. Each floor and specialized area provides a unique setting for learning, fostering both discipline and creativity.
First Floor:

It's almost the new year! Here's to part 2 of the university.
Just south of the library lies the entrance to the university, accessible only by small boats that ferry visitors to the secluded institute. Nestled beneath the looming shadow of the cliffside is a modest dock and boathouse, which serve as the gateway to the Grand Hall. Within the hall, students and faculty gather to enjoy ela...

Adventurers yearn for the mines.
This map reveals a hidden crystal cave, deep underground and accessible only by a lone, rickety lift. Its walls shimmer with precious gemstones essential for rare and costly magical components, along with veins of metal that are refined and smelted on-site before returning to the surface. Owned by a sinister order of mages, the mine’s valuable resources...
It's spooky season, so what's better than some creepy old buildings by a lake?
The main building is the lakehouse, once a cozy retreat but now in disrepair. It contains a dining room, kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, bathroom, and a pantry. The front door has been torn off its hinges, and the rotting wooden floors are littered with broken furniture. The back door swings open with a ha...

I think I have a guilty pleasure of coming back to big stone-walled structures.
The keep, now a bandit stronghold, shows signs of both decay and repair. Though some of its ancient stone walls are crumbling, enough has been restored to make it functional for training and patrolling the surrounding lands. Most rooms and buildings are now used by weary bandits to rest after battle.

New map dropped. "Why'd it have to be snakes?"

Much of this temple was buried after a cataclysmic event, leaving its ancient inhabitants and their treasures trapped inside. An archeologist recently uncovered an entrance to the long forgotten c...

Greetings everyone! This next map features what was once a peaceful monastery in the mountains that has since been corrupted into a lair of greed and violence. An idea for this map could be that this was the site where monks meditated alongside a wise metallic dragon. After the death of their beloved guardian, the monks were left defenseless when a sect of dragon cultists seized control of the ...

It took a little longer than I anticipated, but here it is: the murder manor! This map would be great to host a murder mystery given all the various rooms. It could be the classic tale of the estate owner tragically dying in the night, and players must investigate the different servants and nobles staying at the manor. Players can uncover clues to help them determine the culprit: a missing book...

Hey everyone!
I was feeling outdoorsy and decided to make a wilderness map.
Set in the foothills, mountain streams converge as they cascade down to lower elevation. The land is carved into shallow canyons and ravines from previous rivers, leaving the terrain hilly and rugged. This particular map highlights camouflaged outposts, equipped with several observation towers to keep watch...

This was once a respectable sanctuary in the mountains for pilgrimages, but it has since become the site of worship for a nefarious cult. The halls echo with the grunts and chatter of goblins, bugbears, and kobolds roaming freely, desecrating the sacred space. They plunder the pantry with gluttonous fervor and burn the tomes of prayers and scriptures with reckless abandon.

This next map was inspired by the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3 (I had to justifying buying the game for "research"). This map could be used as players maneuver through an extensive underground passage, perhaps on their way to a Drow city.
