Small Feywild Clearing

Sometimes you just need a space where your players can have an encounter but you don't wanna give them too much space. In this case, our party of heroes is trekking through a dangerous and overgrown Forest. Here they will make their first encounter Flail Snails! This also does a great job to serve as a fey crossing. The map is 17x17 so fairly compact, with enough room in the brush for GM notes. Morning and night versions to follow!

I hope you enjoy the map and as always feel free to lea...

4th of July Captain America Memorial Map

Hey everyone!

For the 4th, I ran a one-shot that had my players turn giant eagle statues into live mounts. They had an aerial battle that involved shooting fireworks at opponents while zooming around a memorial dedicated to Captain Merica. Naturally flight speeds of giant eagles dictate a larger map requirement so this one is 50x50. I made both a day and night version although our game used the night one so fireworks were more visible.

P.S. I made the fountain Mountain Dew Baja...

Ice Rink Map

I made a second map for my one-shot to save the dwarves trapped in the caved in mine. Here was the finale map where my party would find the last survivors badly injured and unable to escape without help. The dwarves were hiding here among the rubble to avoid falling prey to the monster of this adventure...a Remorhaz!

I had the party enter the map by sliding down a tunnel left by the remorhaz. Once in the room and the party began saving the dwarves the monster showed up to feast, and the...

Ice Bridge Map

Its been a while since I have uploaded a new map. Campaign ended, pen (stylus) broke, and I decided to focus on school and work a little more. Excuses aside, I am pleased to announce I am back with a new map. Created for a one-shot where my players had to trek out and save a group of dwarves who were trapped in a mine that caved in. 

On of the first challenges they would face is this chasm whose rope bridge had frozen over crating a slippery and difficult terrain. To make matters w...

Holiday Map Assets

I thought it would be nice to share some holiday-themed map assets. Usually, around this time of year our group gets into some fun seasonal one-shots. They have gone full RP and take part in various activities form carnival games to drinking contests. I have even thrown them into party-induced hallucinatory trips where they find themselves in the Feywilds in a life or death battle against a T-Rex sized turkey abomination, themed after that nasty guy in Thankskilling...yeah we went there! ...

Pillars & Waterfalls Map

Hey everyone I wanted to share this map! I wanted to create a dynamic battlefield with some vertical elements. In our home game my party was ambush by a small flock of griffons. The initial encounter was pretty quick as the creatures used dive-bomb snatching tactics. The griffons were able to pick away party member but the rest of the party proved too much of a hassle to continue and so the flock retreated with their one catch. The party quickly gave chase in order to save their friend and tr...

Swamp Map

I love swamps. They're spooky, treacherous, and all-around a pain for parties to move through. There weren't enough open encounter battle maps set in swamps for me, so I created this one. 

Here was the first time my party encountered a batty old Hag. Surprisingly enough they didn't end up fighting her the first time around. Usually killing it is their first move, as they are a pack of classic Murder-Hobos. In this case, they encountered the hag trudging through the swap barking ord...

Swamp Hag Lair

This map is great for simple swamp encounters. My party used this in as a final showdown where the attempted to save a young Grung from the ritual sacrifice of a Hag as part of her wedding ceremony to a troll! 

This map was fun because the central hag lair is a large tree stump. I flavored it as being covered with thatch and thorny swamp bushes for a roof, there was only one entrance to the lair. 

The members of the party had to stealthy wade through waist-deep water cha...

Raptor Hunt Battle Map

As my first post and sort of a test...Here is a fun battle map designed around a tall-grass encounter. I used the dark green grass in the middle as tall grass 5ft high that was so thick it was difficult terrain. Players and creatures had advantage when trying to hide in this grass. This was a fun encounter as I had a squad of raptors drive the players into the grass and ambush them there.

It's worth noting I didn't make the tall grass difficult terrain for the raptors as I fi...
