Two small castles: A ruin [44x44] and the fortification of a man who never wants direct contact with others again [50x55]

One map is one of my first castle ruins that the previously published ones were based on and the other was just a little idea I had. What kind of castle would a frightened rich man in fear for his life build himself if he never wanted direct contact with other people again? His food is brought to him via the crane and he himself can lay out the wooden planks to cross the walls. I think one could build some fun quests around it :)

I wish you a lot of fun with the maps!

A battlefield in the ruins of Beaumaris Castle [80x85] and the battlefield of swords [30x40]

Today we visit two sites of long past battles. The decisive battle of a past war took place on cliffs with gigantic ancient swords. The conflict ended with the siege and bloody capture of Beaumaris Castle: The design is based on the real Beaumaris Castle, which you can see here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaumaris_Castle

A boss room that can be filled with water, blood or lava [50x50]

Here I have a nice boss room for you where you can slowly let water, blood or lava rise after the entrances were "accidentally" blocked with stones.

Tips on how to run this fight: Build in a mechanism that makes the fight more interesting and gives your heroes the perspective of being able to escape from the start. For example, one of the opponents is the key to reversing the mechanism of rising liquid. The problem is that this enemy does not have to be killed but has t...

The ruins of Conwy Castle [50x89]

I am very proud to be able to present you this large and elaborate map! :)

It is a large ruined castle with plenty of space for extended battles. The structure of the castle is roughly based on the historic Conwy Castle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conwy_Castle ) but I have changed the surroundings significantly and the destruction is also not found in the historic castle.

I loosely rebuilt the castle from air pics and floor plans. The interior is fictional.

It is found in the German Rhineland and towers beautifully on a mountain above vineyards and the Rhine :)

"Construction of the castle was begun in 1356 by Archbishop-Elector of Trier Bohemond II and was continued for the next 30 years by successive Electors of Trier. The construction of Burg Maus was to enforce Trier's...
