Marsh Platform

I'm back this week with another swampy map, the Marsh Platform (24x30), not a remake of an old Swamp map exactly but something that I thought would work as a focal point for a quest or a point of interest while traveling, kinda like the old Swamp Shrine map from a while back but with an updated layout that gives you more room to maneuver.

But around what? I couldn't say, but this platform looks like it has s...

Marsh Platform, Adept

Hi Adepts! This is the Marsh Platform (24x30), a big structure in the swamp with unknown purpose- unless you're using your Portal variant in which case the purpose is the huge portal. I had a bit of fun with the portal, giving it a bit of a galactic vibe which I thought was magical enough to imply that this old platform involves some serious magik. However, if you're feeling saucy and don't much like the look of this one you could instead drop in the portal PNG from my old 2025-10-22 20:49:08 +0000 UTC View Post

Marsh Platform, Expert

Hi Experts! This is the Marsh Platform (24x30), named so because Marsh Ruins was taken.. by last week's map. Maybe I should try to be a bit more creative with my naming conventions, huh?

Your alternate versions of this one are Bloody and Spectral, which I'm realizing go hand-in-hand with each other in a way. I decided to go with these two themes in an attempt to whip up some more spooky content before Halloween, giving you two versions of this map that could be great for bloody encount...

Marsh Ruins

This week's map is the Marsh Ruins (25x30), a new basic swamp map for fleshing out adventures through mires. Last week I mentioned how I was a bit underwhelmed with the quality of my old swamp maps, which are low in detail and tended to have uninteresting layouts, so I'm thinking I'll sprinkle in a few updated versions of those older maps over the next couple months.

This is a fresh version of the Swamp Temple R...

Marsh Ruins, Adept

Hello again, Adepts- this week's map is the Marsh Ruins (25x30), a redo of the Swamp Temple Remnants, a map which strangely enough got a rare 3 word name. I've long felt like that map was a poor execution of a fun concept, a crumbling and overgrown temple in the swamp, which is a shame. This time around I wanted to take a more careful approach to the design with a more straightforward temple layout, which I'll talk...

Marsh Ruins, Expert

Hello again, everyone, this is the Marsh Ruins (25x30), a fresh take on my old swamp maps from 2021! This time around I'm approaching the biome with a much more swampy color palette and more detailed layouts, which I assume is something you'll all enjoy. I don't know, I can't look at my own maps impartially, but that's what I think!

Your alternate versions of this map are Grim and Grimy, which I swear I didn't intentionally name so similarly, it was a complete accident. I figured that 2...

Marshland Trail

Hi folks! This one is the Marshland Trail (40x30), a new swamp map! This is sort of a remake of an old map, the Swamp Bridges, which I thought deserved a 2nd pass. I came across it again a few weeks ago while working on the Swamp Bivouac and realized that I'm not quite happy with how most of my old swamp maps have aged, so I figured now could be a good time for me to revisit the biome for just a couple weeks and fi...

Marshland Trail, Adept

This week's map is the Marshland Trail (40x30), not my best map name perhaps but Swamp Bridge was taken.. and needed to be updated with this map. It's interesting to see the difference in a few years of mapmaking, huh? Well, having stumbled across that map a few weeks ago I've been thinking that I probably need to take another pass at swamps in general, I just can't sit around with just about all of my existing sw...

Marshland Trail, Expert

Hello again, Experts and Masters- this is the Marshland Trail (40x30), a name which is technically synonymous with Swamp Path but is distinctly different so you won't have any conflicts if, say, you're storing this map's files somewhere alongside another with that name.

After making the Swamp Bivouac map a few weeks ago I've been thinking that maybe I should remake or revisit a few of the basic swamp locations that I initially drew years ago. Why? Because I don't like how I did it then...

River Delta

Hi folks! This week's map is the River Delta (25x30), the mouth of a river with no clear way to cross.. unless you use the Bridged version which does in fact have a series of little bridges crossing these little gaps for your convenience. Just a little bonus for you, I hope you like it!

Adepts can find their post here, and Experts can find theirs 2025-10-01 19:22:20 +0000 UTC View Post

River Delta, Adept

Hi Adepts- this is the River Delta (25x30), the mouth of a regular ol' river featuring a bunch of rocky platforms which you may attempt to hop across at your peril. I didn't make much of an attempt to space them in a convenient way, but I think there are obvious routes your party can take as long as jumping is an option for them.

1. Yup, a river with some rocky bits sticking out. You c...

River Delta, Expert

Hi there, Experts- this is the River Delta (25x30), the mouth of a river, littered with small islands for your players to attempt to cross- good luck! I imagine they'll probably have to go up against nasty flying creatures while doing so, so no doubt this will be pretty rough for some players but that's just how the adventurin' life is sometimes. I hope you like it!

Swamp Bivouac

Hello everyone, I'm back this week with the Swamp Bivouac (25x30), a new map of regular size! That's right, I'm going back to making maps larger than 2 sheets of paper- it's time, thanks for joining me for that interlude, I honestly had a lot of fun with it.

Moving forward I'm going to try to better utilize the space I'm using, like how I was filling the frame with so much detail in all those mini maps, though maybe not to the same degree (I'm just one guy and I try to make these maps ...

Swamp Bivouac, Adept

I'm back this week with the Swamp Bivouac (25x30), and in case you're wondering a bivouac is a sort of temporary camp, often without tents. I didn't have a better word for this, so there you go. Anyway, I was imagining this less as a camp and more like a Dark Souls bonfire, the one in Darkroot Garden specifically was what I had in mind. Since I'm not a huge fan of bottomless pits or fog-filled chasms I decided to go with a swamp setting instead of outright imitating Dark Souls, which I felt w...
