Today I have a small dungeon with a variation for you:

Dear friends, today we are going on a wonderful little trip. We go to visit a small and completely harmless cave. It may be a little stuffy and smell of stale water and worse, but I promise that the splendor of the plants will knock you off your feet (* mumble * maybe not just literally ... * mumble *). Welcome to my swampy dungeon!

A hidden oasis in the middle of the jungle [50x54]

At the weekend I will release an extensive dungeon that will lead your heroes through a swampy cave overgrown with plants.

This oasis here, with its natural fountain with a statue at the top, can be the starting point for the upcoming dungeon, for example.

What is hidden under the statue of an elven goddess from whose base a spring flows? What are the properties of the strange purple plant that is presented on the ledge?


Feedback is always welcome and suggestions ...

The great labyrinth [126x126]

I present my huge labyrinth!

A really massive map that challenged my PC a bit. Next week we will travel into the green with a jungle oasis and a swamp dungeon [80x80] overgrown with plants!

Below you can download the 10mb and 5mb versions of the labyrinth in the evening. Since you would have hardly been able to recognize the map in a super low resolution, I cut it into four pieces 4x [63x63]. Since my program didn't like me today, there could unfortunately be errors because my mat...

You can download the version without grid in a zip file below.



Here are a few thoughts on how you could use the map:

Using a maze is very demanding and can quickly become a frustrating triall and error.

First you should somehow determine that the party has to stick to the labyrinths paths. Flying or hitting through the plant walls...

Swamp Boss room [27x32]

This is the boss room of the swamp dungeon with jungle flair that I am currently working on. [80x80] I think it should be ready sometime by next week. (Until then I'll somehow get rid of that stupid black line)

But first there will be several huge mazes.


Do you want anything other as central elements than the statue and the throne? I can change them to something that suits your campaign.

A boss room with an impossible layout [58x58]

I tried to find out if an impossible boss room could be built based on the "Penrose stairs".

Where is higher, where is deeper? Flavor the fight with descriptions like "you are at a disadvantage in long-range combat, as the arrows fly almost unpredictable paths in this room."


Feedback is always welcome. If you want to have something changed (for example a certain object in the middle of the room or other lighting) then just comment.

Lighthouse on a cliff with a hidden cave [30x30]

An old man lives in this lighthouse and in the evening enjoys the wonderful view of the sea from his bench on the cliffs. He is an old adventurer and he's keeping a secret.

A treasure rests under his tower. Under no circumstances he will allow these riches to get pillaged. When very dark things should not come out again, these treasures should stay there forever...

A couple of sketches :)

1. I tried my hand at a forest maze [128x128] (cracking the geometry of the whole thing and how that can be implemented in Dungeondraft took a while. If anyone is interested, I can explain it).

What do you think of the layout and the composition of the paths? Too big? Too hard? Too easy? I can also create alternative variants if someone wishes.

I am also open to ideas about what could be in the middle of the labyrinth.

One beast in four habitats [61x60]

Snow: The beast's sweat freezes on its body and forms a hard protective layer.

Jungle: The beast is well camouflaged in this area, attacks and then immediately disappears into the undergrowth

Lava: The beast is covered in the liquid rock and each attack causes additional fire damage

Here is the backstory of this fortress transformed by wild magic:

The library of horror [34x24]

This creature is able to consume knowledge from objects around it and use it as food. A blow from the monster deprives the vi...

Dragon caves [52x52]

These maps are created to accommodate large creatures (such as dragons) who perceive fire, acid, crystal or mushrooms as their favorite environment.

The different height levels and environments should allow an exciting fight in this large room. (At the last one I may have overdone it with the mushrooms)

Feedback is always welcome and I hope you enjoy the maps!
