Knotroot Cave
Added 2023-01-31 09:48:04 +0000 UTCIn the tangled roots of a great tree there has formed a curious cavern.
I have something of a fascination with roots, branches, and the fractal patterns they form, and this month I wanted to explore them in the form of a battle map.
What resulted is a cave formed entirely of knotted roots – a Knotroot Cave, if you will. I made it open and spacious, but with a twisting path leading to a point of interest.
The little island at the far end is said point of interest. Atop it you might sit a MacGuffin, a boss creature with formidable ranged attacks, or perhaps it's where the tree's very soul can be projected in humanoid form? There's a lot you can do with it.
My wife and I are working on a small behind-the-scenes video showing some of the process, so stay tuned for that! It'll be in a sort of devlog format, the sort that I love to watch.
Anyway, hope you enjoy! Is there a place in your world where this oddity would fit? I'd love to hear about it below. :)

I have tried the map printer, but unfortunately it's a little buggy on Macs (I've found that the grid doesn't print there either). I appreciate the reply with the Dropbox link -- I will keep that for future use, but at this point I can't afford to print the map again given how large it is and how much ink it uses. Thank you for the reply, I love your artwork.

I recommend trying out our tool: https://tools.2minutetabletop.com/map-printer/ If that's not working with your printer, please download this version I've made with the grid baked in for you: https://www.dropbox.com/s/drnin28kdunnu2i/Knotroot%20Cave%20WITH%20GRID.jpg?dl=0

2023-03-09 07:05:03 +0000 UTCThe image here shows the map with a grid on it, but when I downloaded and printed the map out, there was no grid. Is there a fix for this? I'm a bit sad that I've already wasted a ton of paper on such a large map, so I'll probably try to put the grid on there by hand, but I'm wondering generally speaking where the grid lines went.
