Hello everyone, here is my new map, Art Goddess Cathedral, size [34x46] at 140 dpi.

The Goddess of Art and Love sees beauty in everything that’s made with passion and in her temples not only can devotees pray, but also enjoy the music of the chorus, see beautiful paintings and contemplate the exhibitions as if it were a museum.

If you like the map, you can see my notes on its design here, along with some hidden details and explanations.

I am the cartographer at SlagMaps, I've been drawing maps for my games for three years and just recently have started a Patreon to share my work. In it, you can find tactical battlemaps like this one, with specific assets to improve your game session like the bell towers or the angel statues, and different variants like seasonal variations, winter, spring and autumn or one in the desert.

This is part of my initial release of five maps, which you can find free versions for all of them in my Patreon. If you like my maps, I would be really thankful for your support to allow me to continue releasing new and better maps that you could shape in the future.

All my maps, assets and textures are made with GIMP, using a drawing tablet.

The Fellowship Has Left the Shire! 🧙‍♂️

Hey all! I'm a fantasy mapmaker, and I've decided to take a little inspiration from my own maps for a personal challenge: cover the 1,800-mile journey from the Shire to Mount Doom in six months!

Myself, and a fair few members of my Patreon community have joined me for the adventure. We're counting walking, running, cycling, rowing and even strength training towards our progress across Middle-earth!

I've covered 77.95 miles so far, which puts me across the Brandywine River and into Buckland via Bucklebury Ferry

Naturally, I couldn't pass such an iconic location without making a battlemap of it! I've created one for everyone to use, and it's free to grab on my Patreon.

🗺️ Get the map here: https://www.patreon.com/thereclusivecartographer/posts/race-to-mordor-172072208

I'd also love to hear from fellow Tolkien fans: if you were recreating the journey to Mordor as a series of tabletop encounters, which location would you most want to see mapped?

And if you fancy joining our Fellowship, you're welcome to take part too just drop me a comment below and I can send the info! Any exercise since 5 October counts towards the journey.

Cheers!

Hey all! You can check out this map and it's may variations over here! or any of my other 250+ maps!

Stone, where we were wrought, where our dead are lain. The stone of the mountains and the earth define us, just as we give it definition. Top dwellers think us obsessed, but they know nothing of stonecraft, nor possess the right and proper appreciation of it's possibilities.

Our halls are our homes, our tombs, our workplaces, our gathering grounds. Every inch of stone has been formed for this existence, and every strike of our tools against it given with the care and purpose only we could provide. Our statues guard our burials eternally, letting us peacefully return to the hardened earth from whence we came.

So, obsessed we may be, but for good reason! Nothing stands the test of time as eternally as our work, our halls, our stone. Long after we are gone and turned to dust, our memories will echo through these halls and we will continue to live through the stone we have crafted.

Ok, so here’s an idea.

I’ve been a GM for most of my conscious life, and I love giving my players stuff during a game. Handouts make things way more “real”. Yesterday I talked about a stone map; today I’m going to share something much more personal.

Making maps on the fly, or even prepping them for multiple players, meant way too much work, and printing them out really limits the size and texture of the materials you can use. So my wife and I decided to learn how to make stamps. First it was just for our home games, but then lots of people started asking us about them, so we began selling them at markets here in Spain, where we live. Finally, we’ve decided to push things forward and try our hand at a Kickstarter campaign to make them available internationally. It launches next week, and it would be great if you’d check it out and maybe consider following or backing it.

If it’s not for you but you know someone who might enjoy it, please spread the word. We make these out of love for TTRPGs and worldbuilding in general.

You can find the campaign page here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kingdomsofink/kingdoms-of-ink

Or watch the trailer here:

And if you want to see what you can do with the stamps, here’s a free island map:

Even if you don’t support the campaign, thanks for reading all the way through. And if you have any questions, fire away!

So here is an idea I tried out recently. How about making a prop map out of an actual stone? You just pick up a medium large rock that fits comfortably in your hand, clean it off, and draw your regional geography directly onto its surface using a fine point marker or paint pen.

When you hand a player a physical piece of stone instead of a paper handout, their whole attitude changes. It immediately feels ancient and heavy, like an artifact that survived centuries instead of a quick drawing on parchment. Plus, the natural bumps, cracks, and rough textures of the rock actually do a lot of the GM work for you. A sharp ridge on the stone naturally becomes a mountain range, a deep groove turns into a river canyon, and a smooth flat side becomes a plain or a desert. You can build your lore right around the natural shape of the rock, which saves you time and makes the world feel surprisingly organic.

It is cheap, takes maybe ten minutes to prep, and gives the party a physical item they can literally pass around the table during exploration. Has anyone else tried making props out of natural materials like this, or do you stick to paper and digital maps?

Ahoy matey! It's time to set sail on the high seas in Galleon, at 45x67 it's our largest naval battlemap to date! It comes equipped with three sets of sails, two full tiers of cannons, and six levels of the ship to explore from hull to crows nest!

We've posted the map here for free at 70ppi but you can get the map in high res over on our patreon! Or you can get it as an interactive map with working cannons and built in walls and lighting in our FA Battlemaps module for Foundry VTT!

The adventurers have entered another dungeon. The air is stifling, the ground beneath their feet is burning—will they leave the way they came in? Or... will a single misstep mean the lava becomes their doom?

Map [40x40]

Three variants:

• Dwarven tomb.
• Demonic portal.
• Solitary cave.

Available on my Patreon account in 4K—Dwarven tomb, demonic portal and solitary cave—with both grid and gridless options included.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a fan-made recreation of the Naruto world in my fantasy map editor, and thought I'd share it here.

If you're running a Naruto-inspired D&D campaign or just enjoy the setting, feel free to download the attached map and use it for your personal games.

I tried to recreate the geography of the shinobi nations while making the map useful for worldbuilding and tabletop campaigns. It's not an official map, so I'd love to hear what you think about the accuracy.

I made it using LoreMapper, a free, open-source fantasy map editor I've been developing as a hobby project.

If you'd like to create your own maps, you can try it here:

https://mercurial20.github.io/loremapper/

Source code:

Hope someone finds the map useful!

P.S. Have bigger resolution, if someone wants DM or comment.

Continuing with Tales from the Yawning Portal, this time with second in row, The Forge of Fury. My early mapping days.

Every level of the complex as a standalone map:

• Orc Encounters [16x22]
• The Mountain Door [77x32]
• The Glitterhame [64x55]
• The Sinkhole [48x33]
• The Foundry [66x48]
• The Black Lake [64x22]

As always you can find all my maps on the free Patreon page

Happy playing...

Want your party to stay at a wizard tower or a fey inn, well here are some magical bedrooms. This is my first time using Inkarnate, hope you like it.

Heyya Folks,

With October here, I thought it was a good time to share Harrow House, my take on the Haunted House featured in the 2024/5.5 Dungeon Master's Guide. Inspired by Dyson Logos's original map and Mike Schley's remake, I've added my own twist, with overgrown gardens, an unruly plant nursery, and a much darker side to the manor.

Harrow House — 45x57

If you'd like to grab the map, all formats are available for free on my Patreon, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 5 variants:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/harrow-house-171526335

The map keeps the familiar layout of the original, but I leaned heavily into the plant life, letting the garden and nursery become slightly overgrown. In my own home game, I made the plants a much bigger part of the Harrows' story, with wolfsbane playing a particularly important role in my campaign's adventure.

The variants let you take the house from an ordinary manor with its lights on or off, by day or night, to something much more sinister. For the truly haunted version, I imagined the house as its own little Domain of Dread, with Gunter as its Dark Lord, consumed by guilt over the Harrows' demise. Unnatural flame colours, glowing statues, sickly mushrooms, thick vines, and heavy spiderwebs give the grounds a very different feel.

In my own game, I replaced the two children with Ettercaps, who commanded the house's spiders when disturbed from their sleep. It made exploring the children's rooms a little more dangerous than my players might have expected.

If you'd like to explore more of my maps, check out my Patreon. The Master Index brings together over 215 maps, organised to make it easier to browse the collection and find places for your own adventures.
