#swamp battlemaps

[tellusd20]

Hidden among the twisted branches and roots of mangrove trees in a vast swamp, this small settlement is one of the few semblances of civilization that adventurers may encounter. The villagers don't see many visitors - the heat, humidity, and stinging insects ensure that few find reason to make the journey here. Supplies and the services of guides might be procured here, provided that adventurers have sufficient barter. It would be wise to remain polite in such business negotiations - as poison darts are plentiful and royal authority is so very far away. +++ This 30x30 map is available to supporters in full size PNG/VTT format, without watermark, and night/day + grid/gridless variants.

Swamp Map

Says what it is on the tin. This is a map meant for a battle in a swamp. Have fun trying to move around in this. Getting towards the end of the maps I made for Nobody.

OUAW EP 22 second half:

TW for a bit of gore

COMBAT TIME BABEY

I need a detailed description of how Gideon’s manacles work I Need to Know

TORBEK W MOMENT WHEN HE BECOMES GOREBEK AND MAKES AGDON ACTUALLY SCARED

HOW DID THEY DESIGN THESE CHARACTERS HOLY SHIT

Mace i like your ignition idea but aren’t you also gonna burn down the bridge you’re on??? Nope okay nvm

This guy has a 15ft long scarf. Can’t we just grab that? It’s literally trailing.

Oh fuck. Is Twig dead? No no no

love how Derek just goes “nah fuck that I cast Shield”

“These awesome guys…. And Gricko…..”

THANK GOD SOMETHING HITS HES GRAPPLED GOING DOWN

I LOVE MACE BANGING THE TABLE SO HARD THE BATTLEMAP CAMERA SHAKES

Y’all are IGNORING Twig rn. Can’t someone stabilize her????

Twig is so iconic

NOT TORBEK. THAT IS NOT TORBEK. WHO IS THIS GUY

Oh my god.

GEAR TWOOOO— Woah that’s a bisection.

MY HEART. KREMY DO NOT LET TWIG DIE.

“I don’t feel so good Mr Kremy” GAH

Hootsie is magic??? I guess that makes sense

DONT CLOSE YOUR EYES TWIG

I feel like maybe Gricko should have been able to roll a perception check when Agdon stole something from him underwater— even at disadvantage— how is Agdon seeing? Magic?

Frost could be such a good villain who uses sympathy as a weapon— “I can save you”

What is this random frog doing here? Also I bet Frost looks lowkey ridiculous trying to talk to Agdon through the swamp midfight

YES GRICKO IS GOING FOR THE SCARF wait. This could uh. Be a trap

HARE TODAY GONE TOMORROW I GOT IT

not the chuckles coming out for battle 😭

Gorebek is so fucking scary. I love this so much.

YES THEY GOT HIM HOLY FUCK

Oh fuck Torbek is gonna drown

Twig how are you just making banaña bread right now

TORBEK MY LOVE

Oh fuck vaguely Russian gourd headed scarecrow

WHAT?????? GEHENNA????????? WHAT KID CAME UP FROM THERE????????????

Holy FUCK that’s a way to end a session

PLEASE tell me more about the Gear System. Also oh my god this was such a good episode. Holy shit.

Welcome to the Swamp of the Bloodsucker!

The name "Bloodsucker" derives not from the mundane, but from the magical inhabitants of the swamp. These are not ordinary mosquitoes, but rather ethereal swarms of insects that feed on the blood of living creatures. Unlike regular mosquitoes, you cannot kill these insects by physical means...

This map set includes 14 swamp-themed battlemaps, many of which are free to download here!

No Small Feat Art Pt. 8: The Castle in the Clouds Arc

By request, I’m gonna show off some of the artwork for No Small Feat, a Midgaheim story my friends and I told through the TTRPG system Fabula Ultima. I drew a lot of characters and monsters for it, and my friends - in particular, @dragonzzilla, @scatha5, and @dinosaurana - helped line and color them so we’d have cute little sprites to use on our online battlemaps, which really helped sell the whole “we’re playing an oldschool turn based RPG” vibe that Fabula Ultima’s system is going for.

In this part, we’re gonna look at the many NPCs introduced in the campaign’s fifth arc, The Castle in the Clouds.

This arc began with our heroes arriving in the town of Langchilde to find it partially demolished, and learned that the town - and its vault specifically - had been ransacked by a ogres, who were now congregating on a nearby island. Since the vault held one of the crown jewels, our heroes had to travel to the island to try and steal it back, which involved some sailing. And with sailing comes...

They faced a dreaded Aspidochelone (predatory turtles that disguise themselves as islands), slew a kraken, befriended a ciriencroin (big goofy armored eels), and mediated a singing context between a mermaid and a siren.

On the island itself, our heroes found a giant tower stretching into the clouds, and, with the help of Jack Giantslayer, ascended it to find a hidden castle in the sky, where the ogre prince Goligaunt announced to his subjects (and some foreign ogre ambassadors) that he had one of the crown jewels of Engelsex and was going to use it to make himself king not only of the ogres in the country, but of the humans as well.

Goligaunt was assisted by Fark, a swamp ogre whose special move in combat was chucking donkeys at people. His ball was attended by at least two ogres from outside of Engelsex - Thulsatea, a cyclops from Mediterra, and Utgar Thrym, a Jotunn from Germanor. These two were optional boss encounters that my players... artfully avoided (though they befriended Thulsatea and let her shine, so that was nice).

There was one more ogre on the island, too, but we'll cover her in the next section: the Bonus Bosses!

Behold, the cover to "The Palace of Eyes", an expansion to GRIM, my Quake-inspired TTRPG!

The Palace of Eyes takes place in a realm beyond space and time, between all that is known and unknown. This mysterious place is where Zysgg’Huk, the leader of the inquisitors on GRIM and beyond, traverses across infinite locations across all existence. After delving deeper into the palace, a wide regal chamber containing 5 portals appears, of which four hum alive with arcane energy. These areas may be traversed in any order, but once anyone enters, they must obtain an artifact tied to Zsygg'Huk to return to the palace. 

Explore a neon-lit city plagued by apocalypse, an underwater civilization corrupted by evil, a castle swallowed by an oppressive swamp, and an eldritch college that serves as a prison to trillions of souls. In each of these areas are unique locations, NPCs, enemies, weapons, and items. Each location also contains dense lore that explore the nature of NPCs on GRIM, as well as for many organizations in the main game. After all the artifacts are obtained, you may face Zsygg'Huk and end their tyranny once and for all.

In it will be...

16+ Weapons

15+ Locations

12+ NPCs

40+ Enemies

30+ Items

5+ Character Modifiers

5+ New Powerups

Thousands of words in deep lore!

....and much more!

Releasing first half 2024!

Hey remember when I published adventures...

A thousand years ago the River King saved the world from the tyrants of Hellas and then vanished, his crown sinking into the river depths... until today!

https://www.dmsguild.com/.../The-Sunken-Crown-A-Kings-Silver

The Sunken Crown: The King's Silver is the first part of an epic adventure that sees heroes learning about the ancient River King and uncovering his lost treasure and crown.

This first adventure sees heroes meeting with a strange group of caravanners and exploring an old windmill sinking into a fetid swamp.

This adventure was tested with second level heroes and is made to be run in any setting.

Included with this adventure is:

A new magic item

Two new monsters

A new complex trap

A battlemap

[geckcellentmaps]

There is a house in a swamp on the shores of Havenmount. A family of tieflings live there, long descendants from the line of a mad emperor with an affinity for snakes and serpents. A PC in my current game grew up in this house; but are there secrets yet untold?

Commissions are open

Hey all! Just a quick post today, this is the battlemap I made recently to go with The Dragon Hydra Monster Hunt PDF! I don’t make as many battlemaps as I used to but I had a ton of fun with this one! I think adding in all the standing stones and walkways makes this map nice and vertical for some more interesting gameplay!

If you are curious about The Dragon Hydra PDF you can find it here available for $5 Patrons and above tiers: https://www.patreon.com/posts/dragon-hydra-58599291

This map is available for free over on patreon!

Swamp Defense Map

So my players have managed to escort the refugees to the nearest settlement, but what's this? the power to the warding devices has been sabotaged! The settlement is wide open to animal attacks! They'll have to defend it until the repairs can be done and the power restored!

Just in case you are wondering; Most fauna on Shawl use electrosense to find food, so the settlers put up electrostatic generators around their towns to ward off the animals :)
