Deep Sea Temple [various]
Added 2021-12-01 02:05:42 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
This is our last map of the month. We designed it to accompany the Kuo Toa Temple variation from our recent Deep Sea Organ pack, but it could work as a stand in for most underwater temple, dungeons or sunken palaces. We also have variations for Kuo Toa idols and shrines in the Open Ocean and Secret Fey Fountain packs.
There's two floors to this map, the Temple [36x54] and the Hatching Chamber [33x34]
Our concept for this map was a Kuo Toa Temple, and below that, a secret hatching grounds for Kuo Toa deities. The Kuo Toa are able to imagine their gods into existence, which is what the lower level prayer chamber is for. But we've also made versions without the nascent deity incase you'd prefer it to be a boss room or a treasure trove or one of the many other 20+ variations. :) The lower floor is accessed via the stairs from secret chapel area at the top of the map. There's a version with the secret path visible and another where it isn't visible.
Above are the three relevant levels to this map release. But if you want an epic underwater adventure we suggest going from the Floating Village > Merfolk Marina > Coral Throne > Abyssal Fall (1&2) > Deep Sea Organ > Deep Sea Temple. That way you can traverse from the pristine blue waters down into the deep and dark.
At the beginning of October we made a poll asking if people wanted more Dungeon maps and the answer was an overwhelming yes. We hope the Chthonic Lighthouse, Badger Hill and this map is on target. :) We have several more multi-room and multi-floor maps coming in December too!
An eerie deep sea dungeon wouldn't be complete without some eerie music to accompany it! Our friends over at Adventure Music have made the perfect rpg music track to play for your players as they explore this temple on the ocean floor. We'll be posting that after this, so please go check it out and check out the Adventure Music patreon for more RPG tracks. :)

Late to this, but are there any pieces of writing that goes with this dungeon? I've been turning this into a dungeon complete with puzzles

2025-02-16 12:16:44 +0000 UTCOk, so I ADORE these large dungeon maps and how much cool stuff and effort y'all put in. That being said, I need a Guide. I need an explanation of the thought process behind each room. What is the kelp room? The room with the carved symbols, is that a throne or an altar or what? Help me out here, give me some explanations. <3

2021-12-31 00:09:28 +0000 UTCI needed a map for an epic fight with an aboleth. This ist just perfect.
2021-12-10 11:36:51 +0000 UTCMy party has a Triton Warlock who fled his home after receiving a vision of himself awakening some sort of calamity and destroying his underwater colony. You just provided me with the tools for an incredible adventure that leads him to the climax of his devastating story. So from me, a huge thank you, and from that player... well, I'll be sure to clean up the language when I get their review :P

2021-12-06 20:16:25 +0000 UTCAs a DM of a weekly game, I live for these maps. Makes planning out future adventures a real joy, I always look forward to the next release so I can stuff folders full of new encounter ideas to go along with them. Love the inclusion of the giant enemy crab. XD

2021-12-01 16:21:40 +0000 UTCBeautiful! My group is so excited every time we use one of your maps and scan for every small detail. They are truly amazing pieces of art. I have several of them rotating through as my computer backgrounds and constantly get comments about how pretty they are.

2021-12-01 05:32:49 +0000 UTCWow guys... just want to say that you BROUGHT IT! It's clear you took the previous feedback about the desire for more multi-room dungeon content and are now blowing it out of the water! (get it... water?) And by book-ending this dungeon with awesome encounter maps, you are really playing to your strengths. Aaaand by tying into previous map series, you are adding a ton of value for your patrons. Great content and a great value. Really looking forward to seeing you guys continue this trend. Thank you!
