Clumbing Keep

Welcome, friends! Amond the dry, yellowing grass of the mighty plateau proudly stands the ancient Crumbling Keep.

The wind hurtles through the empty walls, decaying in the scorching sun, whispering tales of the old kings and wonders. Although the best days of the location have passed by it still stays one of the best defensive positions in the area. 

The map will do a great job for sessions revolving around combat - both random encounters and even full-blown sieges. The grand...

Stone Circle

Hello, folks! There used to be times when magic was wild and sleepless, times of the elder gods and wierd wonders - times when Stone Circle was still of use. This magnificent circle of stone monoliths, standing among the grass on the top of a hill is a splendid requiem of the gone-by days.

The map will be an elegant setup for an encounter concerning mythical forces, hags, trolls and ancient beings. The elevation of the terrain may play a huge role in such encounters, providing both ...

Rainforest Ruins

Greetings, travellers! Among the ansient, lush, tropical woods lies the Rainforest Ruin, an old, destroyed temple of unknown gods. The ancient place is filled with traps - both man-made and various environmental hazards. Serpents and other reptiles tend to be quite aggressive in the surrounding forests so better wear long shoes!


The map will do well as an entrance to a larger adventure about exploring forgotten places and pillaging their treasuries. The terrain might create some uni...

Bank Vault

Hello, travelers! In the elegant hallway, there is an iron door, strengthened and well-protected, guarding access to the precious Bank Vault. Although this two-story vault overflows with gold and other riches its most valuable content is the huge, blue diamond, protected with additional security measures.

The map is designed as a final stage of an adventure focused on a grand heist. Large, open space combined with slopes of coins will make the combat really dynamic. The map can be used ...

Among the Fishing Boats

Hello, folks! The bell rings in the foggy dew of the morning as the waves are rocking the nets Among the Ships.

Little do they know that they are not the only ones looking for a treat in here...

The variants of the map will likely lead to many interesting scenarios and will likely open many creative ways to use the unusual setup. The fact that the ma...

Rebels Barricade

Hello, adventurers! The fires are set, the anger is buzzing, the swords are sharpened - welcome to the Rebels Barricade! Although the rebels may not be as trained as soldiers there are in big numbers, fueled with bitterness and ready to fight for their rights.

The Grand Cathedral

Hello, folks! As the daily mass is getting closer and closer the colorful light, passing through the stained glass, leisurely enters the quiet and lofty Grand Cathedral. This huge building is not only a respite for the humble believers, ready to worship their gods, but also a splendid work of art and architecture. 

The main advantage of the map is its huge openness, providing lots of room for even the biggest moments of the campaign. A bit of high ground near the altar and grand pi...

Crystal Cavern

Greetings, adventurers! In the calmness of the underground lies a place of a truly enchanting nature - the Crystal Cave.

The origin of the cave is not known, but it is still a marvelous sight.

Crystal Cave is designed to combine the beauteous nature of the shiny rocks with a fun, strategic map to fight on. Many exits and varied terrain elevati...

Ruins In The Forest

Greetings, adventurers! In the green woods, there stands an old, dilapidated ruin, guarded by the bandits, controlling the Forest Path. This location looks peaceful and tranquil at first sight, but it can be more than deceiving, as this wooded hill can become a deadly trap in no time in skillful hands.

The map has a perfect layout for various more or less random encounters with monsters, traversing the wilderness, through merfolk, creeping from the lake on the south to barbaric and brut...

Lake of Spirits

Greetings, adventurers! Gentle sounds of the crickets fill the humid air, circulating around the Lakeside. Although the scenery might seem peaceful and calm at first sight further examination will probably reveal more dreadful truth about the location. After all, no one really knows what is hidden in the profound and dark depths of the ancient lakes.

The painterly nature of the map is great for using it as both a backdrop and a battle map for smaller skirmishes. The large body of water ...

Underwater Statue

Hello, folks! This week we dive deep into the mesmerising and mysterious bodies of water, so come and join us In the Depths!

Feudal Manor

Greetings, travellers! As the pink leaves are gently twirling in the wind outside a rich scent of tea can be smelled in the hallways of the Feudal Lord's Manor. The map consists of two, atmospheric buildings - a small, cosy bakery, contrasted with the splendid manor. The Eastern vibe of this place will certainly be a nice variety to the classic fantasy. 

Although the Manor is designed mostly as a blueprint for the location it surprisingly works great as a dungeon in a very fresh wa...

Or will they just fool their senses and become a place of a sudden ambush

Although the picturesque nature of the map will very likely suit calmer moments of the campaign its layout provides vast opportunities fo...

Deep Gnome Underdark Hamlet

Hello Patrons! The map for today is the Deep Gnome Hamlet. Tinkering, mining and then trading is what lets this minute settlement develop and thrive, despite the lack of any major food sources. 

Small, stone houses, hanging at the edge of an endless hole are home to a somber, but the hard-working tribe of deep gnomes, who are willing to protect their land at any cost. The major of the village is holding the society together and on his behalf, they are all working as one family.

Icy Cavern

Greetings! Our last (free) map for this month is the cold and uninviting Icy Cavern. This cave, located in the deep north has been a refuge for lost souls for many years, so it's filled with traces of their sojourn.

Despite the apparent influence of guests, the grand, icy pillars, mighty arching bridge, and deep chambers of the grotto are all a work of nature. Filled with reflections of light the cavern presents a unique and interesting location to explore.

Elemental Mountain

Hello everyone! Our map for this week is the Elemental Mountain. This chaotic, unpredictable and certainly dangerous place is one of it's kind, as it's the only location in the world where all four elemental planes manifest their wild energies. From far away the struggling forces can be seen on the mountain peak, creating a real spectacle of lights and colours. As beautiful as it looks getting close is almost unsurvivable.

The map will definitely be a nice touch to the final moment ...
