The green valley [45x50] and Tunnel under Vienna [50x70]

Quest idea for the Green Valley (with the dragon bones)

The value of dragon bones has skyrocketed due to new alchemical uses. Two scholar friends, a man and a woman, have commissioned our heroes to accompany them to this remote place after they found evidence that a long time ago an extremely powerful dragon was seriously wounded in a battle and is said to have fled to this place . The scholars are certain that the curse that struck the dragon must also have killed it. ...

The Siege of Vienna 1683 in six phases [90x75]

In 1683 the Ottomans laid siege to Vienna, which I looked into for my studies, which in turn inspired me to create this map. I tried to make it as understandable as possible, which is why it doesn't perfectly capture the complex defensive structures of a 17th century fortress. But it should capture the basics.

The siege of Vienna in six phases and some historic inspirations that could be used for an adventure. Give your heroes supreme command of the defense of the city...

A growing flower dungeon [50x77]

A small dungeon for all plant lovers :)

Deep in the earth there is a seed that is just waiting to awaken. When it senses a certain energy or a ritual is performed, this dungeon begins to grow. The dungeon is not equipped with a lot of corners and hiding places, but its phased nature still allows for many surprises. I would suggest having the heroes complete various tasks within the dungeon to promote the blossoming. If they then go back and forth several times, various dangers ca...

I'm really occupied right now because of a big paper for my studies, hence this small break since the last map, only these maps from my backlog and no write-up for the maps . I hope you understand and hope that some of you can do something with these map

In a valley someone is building a house (in five phases) [50x65]

Usage ideas for this map:

1. Use this set piece to make your world seem alive and give it change. Give them the task of destroying some monsters here and then have your players return to this place again and again, perhaps because an important NPC is distributing quests here. As the adventure progresses, this place will continue to evolve and breathe even more life into your world.

2. If a player wants to withdraw his hero from the campaign, you can play a little one-shot h...

Warkworth Castle half submerged in the sea [50x75]

Another classic castle ruin for you. I'm particularly happy with the contrast between the castle and the sea and hope that it can serve as a cool backdrop for some of you. :)

I'm currently working on a phased constuction map for a farm or small player base.

Quest Idea for this map:

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

A Sorcerer and his apprentice once lived in this castle. His master had to go on a trip and the young man was given ...

The house of the witch of the hill and a cave underneath [47x60]

Today I was inspired again by the Witcher and a quest about the Witch of Lynx Crag.

I added a few small versions of the hut, depending on how obvious you want to make it.

Everyone knows that an old lady lives on this hill. Sometimes people come to her with their sick people and she can help them. But she still seems scary and people say she is an evil witch.

A fitting quest idea: The Cursed Writer

  • Our heroes are looking for a powerful magician in the dungeon behind the entrance. The magician has created an ice golem to guard the entrance. When our heroes come up the path below, he shouts questions or riddles down the slope to distinguish between friend and foe. For each correct answer they can go one step higher. But if they answer incorrectly, he can create large ice balls that he sends down t...

I finally combined the opportunity to work on maps with my studies to become a history teacher and developed a concept for a course. There, a class is supposed to deepen the knowledge gained about the European Middle Ages in a kind of joint role play over a series of lessons, always at the end of a lesson, and bring them closer in a playful way. At the end of each lesson, the students would then hav...

Again I'm try myself with a little challenge . I create maps for people who comment on reddit and make them freely available here.

When I am finished with the challenge I will create a post for the supporters with the maps without my logo and more (and for the higher tiers the VTT files).

The Temple of Water [45x65] and the Monkey House [40x35]

Hey, two new maps here. A water temple for slippery adventures or relaxation vacation.

There is also a small map of a monkey house, which I quickly put together for my own campaign. You have to imagine that the enclosure is surrounded by a large accessible wall. To do this, you have to think of a glass dome to prevent the monkeys from breaking out.

The Devils Pit [64x75] (A Witcher Location free for everyone)

This map is my take of a location from The Witcher 3. Accordingly, I made everything I have created for this map free for everyone. I love this location which in my opinion has an incredibly captivating backstory that can also be implemented well in a DnD.

The idea is that a highly contagious plague-like disease has broken out locally and in a limited manner. The authorities' reaction is to fence in an old quarry and send all the sick here to guard them. It is becoming a contaminated un...

A Brothel [32x50] and the serpent pass [110x35]

Hey, I've got requests to do a little more building, which I'll do more of from now on. I'm still learning, but I'm doing my best :)

We start with a brothel. Although this is expensive furnished and aims to appeal to high society, a closer look reveals it to be a place of exploitation and suffering. The employees sleep in a moldy barracks and only receive the bare necessities. There are also the gravestones of women who did not survive pregnancy. Everyone can guess for themselves what t...
