The results of the June Map Poll are in. The winner with a total of 8 votes is the Arctic theme, complete with an Ice Palace. Thanks to all of the Patrons that voted! It's your input that helps guide this journey. I am excited to work with a new color palate and textures, incorporating unique art assets from Critical Concepts. Be sure to check in on the Discord server for early previews.

Please note that I am not partial to any one of them and I plan on doing a set of each one in the future (sometime). Do you have any ideas for a map set that you would like to see done? Post it in the comments (some of my best pieces have come from requests). This poll Ends on 5/10/20 (i...

Welcome to Mist Mire, a foggy bog with a sinking swamp. If you find yourself lost, just follow the golden road, it may be hard to spot through the mist though. They say the road leads to a maze in the heart of the mire, and at its center is the entrance to the lost city of gold. Bards sings sullen songs about many foolish adventurers that have gone in search of such a fabled city, never to return.

This alternate version of the Faerie Ring has a set of stairs that lead down into an unknown dungeon.

This is the 4k Alternative Version of the Faerie Ring with stairs. This is an autumn colored alternate, redone in high definition with an optional red grid (and the watermark excluded). This unique alternate is only being released to my awesome Patrons. Thank you all so much for your encouragement and support. Long Live D&D (and all RPGs)!
I also added in the normal versions of the Faerie Ring with stairs, just in case you want them to match up with the rest of the GnarWood Set. Hap...

This is the Icy Alternate version of the Druids Cave. For my Heroes and Champions, this map is high definition 4k (4,000x3,000 px), with a pale blue grid option, and of course the watermark is excluded.

Deep in the heart of GnarWood, past the ruins and the faerie circle, there is an eerie lake. They say that all roads lead to this lake, if you follow them long enough. And if you happen to be there in the dead of night, you just might see a watery spectacle.
This Free Map is an additional piece to the GnarWood set. It should fit in seamlessly among the set, which you can mix and match to use in your own homebrew games. If you would like the more maps from this series, or if you ar...

This is the 4k Alternate version of the lake map. Since it is April, I am giving out the alternates of all the free maps I post on the Hero Tier. They will all be in 4k high definition, with grid options and the watermark excluded. Thanks to all the Patrons supporting my maps, you are the fuel that keeps me going. Cheers!

This is the 4k "normal" version of the map. Since it is April and I'm giving out the alternates on the Hero Tier, I figured a 4k original would be appropriate for the Champion Tier. As always, this tier of maps are posted with grid options and the watermark is excluded.

This is my first attempt to make a zipped file of all the maps for easy download. Let me know how it works for you all (because I may be using this method to post all my future map sets)

Beware of the grim forest they call GnarWood. It is deceptive and dark, unlike other wildernesses. The roads are overgrown with gnarled roots and the trees are twisted and discolored. In this map pack you should find a faerie ring, a druidic circle and even a thriving outpost. There are also subterranean caves beneath the wood, unbeknownst to most.

The main temple is 60x60 and the upper levels are 30x45. For my awesome Heroes and Champions, the maps are presented with and without grids and without a watermark.

This is the final dungeon in the Emerald Empire series. It fits directly beneath the Jungle Temple, connecting at two different points: the cave and the throne. It also has a portal like dais that may be linked to Jungle Dungeon 2. I hope it works as well in your games as it has in mine.

I wanted to make sure the members of the Hero Tier get the complete Emerald Empire map set, without the watermark, and with grid choices. Here it is, the final dungeon in the series! It fits directly beneath the Jungle Temple, connecting at two different points: the cave and the throne. It also has a portal like dais that may be linked to Jungle Dungeon 2. I hope it works as well in your games as it has in mine.
What jungle setting would be complete without a cave big enough for a gargantuan beast? In my campaign this is where the final encounter at 20th level shall occur. It may not seem like much, but it is up to the characters to stop foes bent on awakening a creature that could devour the world itself. Dare I not mention its name.
This is an exclusive Bonus Map for the Champion Tier members (it will not be released elsewhere). I hope it works well for those big beast encounters. Long Live D...

The fabled temple of the Emerald Empire, complete with the Throne of the Stars. It is said that if a royal sits upon the throne and speaks the enchanted phrase, they are transported to the emerald treasure of the ruined empire.

The Hero Tier is not complete without its own version of the Jungle Temple. So here it is, without the watermark. I hope you all like it, let me know how it works in your home games.

Available only to my Champions, a 4k high definition version of the Jungle Temple. I am thinking about making all my Champion Tier maps 4k. What do you al think? Is the higher resolution that noticeable during game play?

The jungle can be a vastly different place at night. Its hard to see around every curve and the shadows from the trees dance with life.
I tried several different lighting / weather for alternate jungle maps. Most did not make it in the set. So, I decided to give them to my Patreons exclusively. I hope you all like them, I have grown to like the night versions better myself.
Long Live D&D!

Along the overgrown route to the Emerald Temple, the roads crisscross and circle back. But, you will know you are heading in the right direction when you come across the ancient tower. Some say it is a rare trading post in the middle of the jungle, others say it has been abandoned for ages.
