Hello one and all!

This month I've got a lot going on in regards to building a foundation of what I've been aiming to create for so long: web-tools for DMs. A big push to really get all the support I need for creating something big in a shorter term. I'll talk more about that later...

As a result of this activity, I'll be a bit lower on creative juices than usual and I had thought to harvest my ideas for this month's batch of maps from you all directly. The goal of this exercise is to have you submit as many things as you'd like, with detailed description or without, with sketches or art if you'd even like or without, and I'm going to try and render as many of those submitted here (or on the discord if uploading images here is a bit of a hassle). I'm thinking of going into a little bit less fine line-work as I usually do, in an attempt to focus somewhat more on quantity instead of quality. 

Depending on the amount of submissions that is of course!

I'm going to try it out, and if it works out great I might do another one of these in the future!

A bard's backstage dressing room or a bard theater in general.

Roc's nest, high in the mountain tops...massive birds nest and surrounding rocky summit with all sorts of large animal skeletons and wagon parts.

Jesse Brake

Valley of ashes death realm. Think Gehenna with monoliths made of voidstone (aka spheres of annihilation- black and starless as ylem), tombstones jutting out of every ashen land surface from a nearby cliff, including vertically outward like teeth to climb. The tree hanging off the cliff has nooses that sway and groan as if there was invisible bodies in them.

Jesse Brake

Former mine shafts that have been abandoned, with sections that have been worked and others yet-to-be. Some luminescent fungi and a underwater pond with glowing algae is present in a large open cavern area with rickety scaffolding.

Two words: Haunted. House. Halloween's coming up, after all.

Tyler E.

A dreamscape with various sections, nightmares, realities that are different, etc.

Finished this one.

I like the idea of an underground city with shops and living residences cut out of the rock. Have two or three entrance exits on the main thoroughfare. This would give you a try at what has been requested before and if it goes over well can expand on it at a later date.

Dr. Feargood

A colosseum style tavern, where patrons watch and/or participate in fights to the death. I'm picturing something like a Shakespearean Globe Theater, but probably a little more debaucherous.

Adam Raeder

Some travelling maps would be great! A wide river with dirt road alongside it.

The lair of a druidic lich (poison ivy but with necrotic vine blight creatures that twist around skeletons and animate them as her minions)

How about the insides of a big sailing ship? I noticed there's not many BIG ships out there for maps. Something that might be a cruise.

mAc Chaos

A mad alchemist's lab, full of dangerous (and helpfull as well) potions laying around the map to be used by the alchemist against the heroes in the final battle

Bruno Pestana

A ruined warship (not an airship, an actual ship) in the middle of a jungle, maybe used as a hub for travellers/bandits that travel around the area. My idea is that long ago the area was part of the ocean floor but due to some magical shenanigans the whole region was lifted, causing any ship sailing in it to run aground.

Alpine wilderness, maybe a mountain pass. Preferably without structures, but I like the idea of some tiles being made with and without structures, ruins, etc. so they can be replaced upon discovery.

James Barker

This isn't anything too fancy but how about a simple trail encounter map? The ones I have seen in your collection all have a house, crossroads, cave entrance... Perhaps one with a clearing ~20ft off the road where travelers might set up camp?

Ramona T

A multi-tier/level sewer system that is the home of a clan/family of rogues. Certain areas would be clearly just sewer related, while other areas would be areas that had been converted to living areas for the rogues.

Gezzer

I'd like to see a climactic final boss arena in the style of the arena where you first fight genich in sekiro (the field)

Eyalyanko

a shack in a swamp, that is the base of operations for a bayou touring company, operated by a down on his luck pirate. catering to adventurers, herbalists, hunters and tourists. (complete with mascotte and souvenir stand)
