Weekly Poll #22
Added 2019-10-15 09:51:48 +0000 UTCAs always, if you're in the Master Cartographer tier or above and have any suggestions for the next poll leave them in the comments below or come join the discussion in the Map Suggestions room on the Discord!
We also had some ideas of making some more 'usual' scenarios that would be of more use to a wide range of players, especially for those trying to get their campaigns going, like bandit camps, crossroads, abandoned windmills, cave entrances, woodland paths. What do you think? Leave your ideas in the comments below.

City Rooftop Chase is the winner!

2019-10-28 23:10:40 +0000 UTCyes and I love it ... just the idea of a party having to face three different wizards of such different styles, along. Combines with experiments, messes, ect. Imagine combined undead mixed with steam-works and special potions :P ... and how crazy the whole place would seem .. heated by steam, electrity for Frankenstein experiments in the attic, hotboxes and gardens for the Alchemist. so many different things combined. Ir perhaps better, as a starting point for hundreds of adventures as these guys pay good money for their varied needs ... dragon bones, rare herbs, special metals and components for the artificer.

2019-10-17 11:24:26 +0000 UTCOur thoughts exactly. It's great having really niche maps and we still want to be working on those each month but i think there should be a balance with some more standard scenarios too.

2019-10-17 09:02:47 +0000 UTCAs for building interiors we actually setup a patreon just for that but we're going to discontinue it soon: https://www.patreon.com/citymaps/overview We also have a marketplace/city square map if you've not seen it yet. Plains/forest/desert are big, common themes we'd like to target for a while but of course we'll also keep running polls ofr the more niche ideas.

2019-10-17 08:59:15 +0000 UTCWe could definitely attempt that, one mage per floor perhaps! Did you see the mage tower we already released?

2019-10-17 08:58:32 +0000 UTCWe've been discussing that idea too. Maybe doing a poll of our old maps and seeing which one people want more of. I think the Pirate Tavern map could definitely be extended.

2019-10-17 08:57:52 +0000 UTCGoblin camp is something that I think a huge amount of campaigns start with so we might work on that soon!

2019-10-16 19:07:47 +0000 UTCHey guys, would you be able to put together a post that links all the maps in one sort of library or collection? Making everything easier to find

2019-10-16 15:34:50 +0000 UTCa mage tower with three brothers ... one an artificer, the second a necromancer, the third an alchemist ,,,, and the unholy mess between them.

2019-10-16 02:01:29 +0000 UTCWe've decided to take a break on the project now, but we actually had a patreon for a while just dedicated to releasing buildings that people could use for making towns: https://www.patreon.com/citymaps/overview

2019-10-15 20:57:51 +0000 UTCI had the same concern at first, but some of the different props combined with the more "plain" variations lets you make a map where your players don't have to be flying. Instead, it could be an awesome combat location for any winged creature while the players are on one of the "rock" props or the "outpost" prop. Could make for a very cool parallax-style map (think similar battles from the SNES era of RPGs on mountaintops).

2019-10-15 19:12:44 +0000 UTCI'd love some more generic stuff just to help cover some of the basics for everyday encounters: Building interiors, courtyards, city squares, marketplaces, a plains/forest/mountain/frozen/desert/ocean pack, etc. That's the main reason I voted Royal Throne Room. It's a basic need of many campaigns and yet I've never seen a (good) map for one, and the variations could cover a range of other needs like Temple Altars, Tribal Leader rooms, simple color variations for campaigns with competing kingdoms, etc. The niche stuff is always amazing, but it is hard to make proper use of them most of the time. I think we'll be happy either way!

2019-10-15 18:29:40 +0000 UTCI'd love to see something that can tie in to an older map. ie, giving more streets for the market, or a longer path from a keep.

2019-10-15 11:30:49 +0000 UTCGoblin camp is a classic I'm often wanting to use, but I think the throne room will fit your style really well and be useful in a variety of campaigns.
