Fantasy Fridays #12: Illius' Magic Shop

Fantasy Fridays #12: Illius' Magic Shop #dnd #battlemaps #store #fantasy

About the Map A magic shop with a magic tree! I implemented many items in glass cases for players to browse. Weapons, robes, wands, and trinkets are all available for the right price. And the magic tree, which I personally used as a plot device to see the future, but you can do whatever you want with it. Tips From the Map Maker Using this for the usual magic shop or perhaps a profaned wizard of…

Fantasy Fridays #11: The Hunters Guild Hall

Fantasy Fridays #11: The Hunters Guild Hall

About the Map The Guild Hall map was a long coming project I had for a while. It is originally designed as a bounty hunter’s guild hall with a section for teaching mages, apothecary equipment, a forge, and a library as primary resources for a hunter. There’s also a large feasting hall and an upper floor with many bedrooms with different layouts. Day and night versions of both are available and I…

Fantasy Fridays #10: Another War Camp

Fantasy Fridays #10: Another War Camp #dnd #fantasy #battlemaps

About the Map A daytime and nighttime version of another war camp map. This one implies a much bigger camp surrounding the tents since the spiked perimeter goes off the map. Tips From the Map Maker Whether its to assassinate a general or to take a job from the army, this is the perfect place day or night.

Fantasy Fridays #9: Repeating Roads

Fantasy Fridays #9: Repeating Roads #battlemap #fantasy #dnd

About the Map These are repeatable road maps that used as a scrolling background. Players would ride horse drawn carts and other vehicles while this background would scroll using a script I made. I’m hoping to work on it and have it uploaded into roll20. Tips From the Map Maker Mountain roads, forest roads, or rolling hills all these maps make for great ambushes or just casual traveling maps.

Fantasy Fridays #7: The Pet Keeper

Fantasy Fridays #7: The Pet Keeper

About the Map Essentially using the harry potter tent trick where what’s on the inside is bigger than the outside. This area was used for a nefarious NPC who was a druid, but one who betrayed his attunement to nature by making money off of selling exotic pets to various customers. Assassins, nobles, and wizards alike would come to him looking for rare or exotic creatures to study or own as a…

Fantasy Fridays #6: War Camp

Fantasy Fridays #6: War Camp #dnd #battlemaps #fantasy

About the Map An army camp nestled in the woods. Presented with a officers tent and a table and chair on the bottom corner, the context for these assets is that this army was taking in refugees from a recently besieged city so the table was used to sign people in as they came. Only those incapable of moving on down the road were permitted to the camp as they had limited supplies to give to folks.…

Fantasy Fridays #5: Training Yard

Fantasy Fridays #5: Training Yard #dnd #fantasy #battlemaps

About the Map This was a very simple map I made where a player and NPC formed a bond during sword training. If you read last weeks map post, you know that a player received a crystal sword from the dungeon, this is where they learn how to use it. Tips From the Map Maker This map would certainly fit well in any town, village or city given how small it is. Could also be used as an illegal fighting…

Fantasy Fridays #4: Dungeon of the Crystal Golem #dnd #battlemaps #fantasy #dungeon

About the Map This was a dungeon I created using several parts in order to provide a dynamic combat experience for the players. They dungeon had a long cave passage the players had to travel through, followed by three riddles which would provide them with 3 orbs to open the door to the boss chamber. The first three parts were rather simple. The first riddle involved a doorway that would not be…

Fantasy Fridays #3: Royal Garden #DND #Battlemaps #Fantasy

About the Map This royal garden map was made for a scene involving someone’s childhood. It must be quite the view from the top of that mountain! The mountain cliff itself was a 4k image scan of a cliff in Switzerland. Google earth is great for high quality terrain imaging! Tips From the Map Maker Nestled between two cliffs and on the edge of a mountain, this oasis of a garden may be the perfect…

Modern Mondays #28: The Tower Part 2

Modern Mondays #28: The Tower Part 2 #battlemaps #modern

About the Map These are all the floor by floor maps I made for the tower. The background is it was essentially retrofitted by a militia as a base of operations that they could oversee control of a city. This map and its blueprints are based on a real structure in South Korea called the G-Tower. You can see it here! I’ve taken very big liberties with the size and proportions of the map in order to…
