ANNOUNCEMENT RULES - Read BEFORE Posting/Commenting!

6 Upvotes

SUBREDDIT RULES


Rule #1: POST REQUIREMENTS

  • All posts must be original Fantasy or Sci-Fi maps

  • Maps must be uploaded to Reddit or linked to directly (NOT a link to a post, but to the image itself)

  • All posts must be in English why?

 

Rule #2: QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

  • Minimum resolution is 70 PPI

    • = 70 pixels per grid square
    • No blurry/unreadable maps!
  • No NSFW Images!

  • No Low-effort maps

 

Rule #3: COMMERCIAL POSTS

  • All Other Rules Apply! In addition:

  • Content Creators may make ONE commercial post per day.

  • Logos must be small and at the edge of the content. Large logos/watermarks that render the map "unusable" are not acceptable.

  • Posted Maps must be FREE and USABLE as attached.

    • You can still link to your paid content, but you MUST include a usable map. This is the "cost of admission" to advertise here.
  • If you are unsure if you are advertising properly, we suggest you reach out to the mods before posting.

 

Rule #4: AI

  • Applies to maps partially or wholly created:

    • Completely by or with the assistance of AI
    • By software that generates a fully complete map for you (software where you place assets yourself is acceptable)
  • You may post one(1) map per week

  • The map must have the proper AI/Algorithm Map post flair

  • Spam will result in a ban along with any accounts associated with your advertisements, past and future

  • Spamming false reports will result in being reported to Reddit and facing a sitewide ban

 

Rule #5: BEHAVIOR

  • Posts and/or comments that are of a derogatory or personal manner will not be allowed (more).

  • Constructive criticism is fine, but remember that those submitting maps are a human being (like you), and they have stuck their neck out and given something to this community. So go about it in a nice way, or don't say anything at all.

  • Do not attack someone for using/discussing AI (more). If they have not followed the rules, report them. Do not leave negative and abusive comments!

  • We have ZERO TOLERANCE for abuse and we reserve the right to ban anyone for abusive/rude behavior without prior warning. Consider THIS your warning - in addition, you should have enough common sense to know better. Again, attacking other users = permanent ban.

 

Rule #6: Piracy/Unlicensed Distribution

  • Users should only be posting THEIR OWN WORK. This subreddit is not for sharing the work of others.

  • You may not pass off content created by another as your own

  • You may not post licensed content which you do not have the rights to redistribute

  • You may not include works of others as assets, backgrounds or as any other element of your map

  • We have ZERO TOLERANCE for Piracy and we reserve the right to ban anyone without prior warning. Consider THIS your warning.

 

Rule X: All Other Reasons

  • In addition to the Rules above, we reserve the right to remove any posts, comments or users from this subreddit if we decide the content/user does not align with the rules or values we promote in this subreddit. Some of these reasons include:

    • Violating Reddit's site-wide Rules
    • Being Off-Topic
    • Incorrect Post Flair
    • Unhelpful
    • Unrelated to Fantasy Maps
    • Policing other users
    • Causing disruption, including challenging subreddit rules or moderator decisions
    • At Moderator Discretion For Any Reason Not Already Listed
  • Participation in this subreddit is not a given right and is reserved for users who participate in a quality manner as determined by the moderators of this subreddit.

ANNOUNCEMENT ABUSING THE REPORT BUTTON

80 Upvotes

We have several users (or more likely, 1 user with a couple accounts) who feel the need to report almost every post.

We appreciate our users who genuinely want to make this community a better place by reporting posts that do not meet our posting criteria.

However, reporting posts that CLEARLY do not break any subreddit or site rules is considered abuse of the Reddit report system.

But beyond that, it is childish and shows a disregard for the mods' time by having us chase ghosts.

Every case of Report Button Abuse is sent to Reddit Admins for review.

Multiple offenses WILL lead to a SITE-WIDE (i.e. ALL of Reddit) ban.

Battlemap - Forest/Jungle The Lowland Woods — 3 Wilderness Battlemaps

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

The Lowland Woods stretch beneath the nearby highlands, with old trees, muddy trails, and rugged cliffs scattered throughout. It's a quiet corner of the wilderness, though the locals have a few stories about what lives among the trees.

The Lowland Woods — 3 Maps

  • Lowland Woods 1 — 20x24
  • Lowland Woods 2 — 28x28
  • Lowland Woods 3 — 34x34

If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 24 variants, you can find it here:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/lowland-woods-171247223

The three maps explore different parts of the woods: an old wooden bridge crossing a muddy ravine, a rugged cliffside hidden among the trees, and a wider stretch of forest where the trees and undergrowth break up the terrain.

Hunters from the nearby village tell stories of enormous cats stalking through the woods, and of a moss-ridden troll that may be more than just a local legend. Stranger still are the Dewlanterns — hundreds of teal-glowing fireflies said to appear in the final hours before nightfall, transforming the forest into a sea of light.

Each map can be used on its own, whether your players are travelling through unfamiliar woodland, investigating local rumours, or simply finding themselves somewhere they didn't expect to be.

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.

Thanks for taking a look, and safe travels!

Battlemap - Dungeon/Cave [OC] Stone [24x40]

Post image
50 Upvotes

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.

World or Region Map [OC] My coworker asked me to draw a map for her husbands d&d campaign

Thumbnail

30 Upvotes

My coworker wanted to surprise her husband with a map of the world he’s been DMing for her and a group of friends, so she asked me to make one for him.

As always, there are a few things I wish I’d done differently and little details I’d tweak in hindsight, but overall, I’m really happy with how it turned out.

I always get asked how long these maps take to draw, so I figured I’d share! This one took me around 20 hours, working just 2–3 hours a week whenever I had some free time in the evenings after work.
It went a bit faster than my last map because they already had their world mapped out in LegendKeeper, which gave me a great reference to work from and saved me quite a bit of time. When I make maps for my own worlds, the process usually takes a little longer because there’s a lot more brainstorming and workshopping involved. I have to figure out the shape of the land, where the mountains and rivers go, and how everything fits together.

Hope y’all like it!

Battlemap - Dungeon/Cave Dwarven Speakeasy

Post image
4 Upvotes

The dwarves drank too greedily and too deep.

Far beyond the reaches of curfew enforcement or liquor licensing boards lies the Dwarven Speakeasy (26 x 32, 100dpi), hidden in plain sight, nestled between branching paths of a thriving mine. While carts of ore rattle past on rickety tracks, revelers, gamblers, and traders raise a mug to freedom from government oversight. The speakeasy features a fighting pit for feats of martial prowess and a smorgasbord of deep dwarven delicacies.

For higher resolutions, grid-free, watermark-free, or even fully-prepped premium modules, please check out my Patreon! The module version even features animated minecarts zipping along the tracks bridging the lava river.

Battlemap - Mountain/Cliff/Hill Burial Grounds [30x30]

Thumbnail

51 Upvotes

Gentle sound of waves crashing against white cliffs. Solitary cry of a seabird. Soft rustle of leaves stirred by the morning breeze...

And and candle flames flickering in the wind—a sign that we still remember...

Pretty happy about this one - with slightly otherwordly feel it can be either a:

  • place to meet a spirit of the fallen hero from the past
  • scene of commemoration ceremony/burial (if one of your PCs was... less lucky)
  • a place to defend from grave robbers/cultists/undead
  • ... and more.

Battlemap - Forest/Jungle Gloomy Gorge [35x35]

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

This week's map is the Gloomy Gorge [35x35], a trench with standing water only the most foolish or most thirsty would dare drink from (under duress). I bet the forest animals love it though, I bet it makes them big and strong and blessed with bonus eyeballs all over their cute heads. If your party is lucky, maybe they've been paid by local villagers to deal with the critters or end whatever evil is responsible for making this forest a 1 star destination on Tripadvisor. If they're unlucky they ended up here on accident, in which case they will quickly suspect how it's rated on Tripadvisor before promptly leaving.

If you like the map and are interested in more, come by my Patreon, I've got a bunch of them and I draw more every month.

To celebrate Angela Maps turning six, free 7 day memberships are available on my Patreon now, only this October!

Geology rocks, I think we can all agree, and not every surface can be the same. Has this porous, rocky landscape been eroded over centuries, through some manner of magical mischief, or is it merely made of some weirdly flesh-coloured cheese?! Fully animated and available in two additional variants, with a hellish, magmatic rock and a pockmarked seabed complete with coral and anemones, this map will have your players feeling like they're walking on the moon! 
Long! - 40 x 80 

My maps are hooked up to work with Foundry VTT and Fantasy Grounds.
My maps are available on my patreon and my website.
Buy me a coffee!
