Chasm Bridge - Free Tolkien Inspired Phased Battlemap

Hi all!
So first things things first, obviously there are no prizes for guessing what famous fantasy scene this is is modelled after. :D
In all honesty the clip from Peter Jackson's amazing Fellowship of the Ring film popped up on Facebook feed this morning and I simply couldn't help myself.
Did I plan to draw and a free map today, let alone post it? No I did not. Lets call it View Post

Proposal: Changes to Payment Model

Hi all,

I know what you are thinking, 'With a title like that, how could I not click on this post!?'

The excitement is pretty intoxicating I'll tell you that, but now to business!

August's Map Theme

Hi all!

With July nearly over and our theme of Big Bosses coming to an end it's time to vote for August's Theme.

I have had quite a few requests for themes centred around sourcbooks. I have listed many of the most popular (minus Ghosts of Saltmarsh as we did that theme a few months back)

Once we decide on a setting I will look to create maps that will fill gaps or expand on the  official materials.

The Pit - Phased Battlemap

"You see drifting down from the shadows of the ceiling, a pair of massive, bat like wings that cause the air to stir and the sulphur smell to enter your lungs even faster. As the wings descend, you are greeted with the sight only seen in your nightmares." - DM Dan, Master Cartographer'

The Sentinels 26x34 - Battlemap

The Four now stand, resolve of stone,
Bold heroes all, in service to lord's throne.
Their lives, those of honour and duty both,
Slay a demon most foul, twas their oath.
A monsterous fiend of deepest Abyss,
It's sharp claw and vile taint, none could resist.
Fought they did, twelve days, twelve nights
Atop the falls of T...

Camp Duskwell - Castles and Keeps

Camp Duskwell is like many of the frontier forts that dot the region of Thralia, a small safe haven offering respite from maundering tribes of gnolls and orcs from the northern mountains.
Such encampments are magnets for traders and common folk alike, all seeking safety behind the pallisade walls, and perhaps ...
