Maps in January and your ideas! - Update
🕑 Added 2019-01-05 16:49:25 +0000 UTCThe new year has begun and its time for another update from me. First off, welcome to the new arrivals, great to have you aboard and of course thanks to you all, for supporting my continued map making activities.
Maps in January
I'm currently working on a new map which I'm hoping to get out early next week. This one will be a little picturesque cottage with a dark secret... its working title is "Old Granny's House". She is totally NOT a Hag ;) I'm trying a slightly looser, hand drawn style for this one, still in my style but with a bit more emphasis on colour and line work.

Your ideas needed!
I thought it would be fun to get some ideas from you all on what maps you'd like to see on my 'to do list'. So, if you have a suggestion for a single 30x30 battle map idea you'd like to see me create next, please do post them in the comments, or message me if you'd prefer. I'm looking for no more than a sentence or two, just a brief description of the theme will do. If we get quite a few I'll put a poll up to see which ones are the most popular, if not I'll just take the ideas we have and run with them.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have and happy adventuring!

These are all great suggestions, I've wanted to make a museum for a while now, so thanks for suggesting one :D
Edson Rocha
others suggestions would be a temple, an abandoned old sanatorium, a noble manor (including the garden), a museum and a slaughterhouse used by a gang of criminals to hide their victim's bodies...

Hey man I dunno if u already did it because I didn't see all your work yet but i'd like to see a good city cemitery, maybe with a colapsed underground tunnel from where undead like Ghouls are surfacing and have to be contained.

Just to clarify~ I meant "Streets, Docks, Slums" etc as in; these locations within a desert, or, rather, arabian nights esque city. Not just generic city maps. Already huge amounts of that. c: Also, thanks for the great maps.
Afternoon Maps
Ah good one! I'm going to be starting up my desert campaign again in a few months, a city in the desert will be very useful. Thanks Adahn, added to the list.
Adahn
A city in the desert. Battlemaps. Streets, Docks (if the city is by the ocean), or Slums. Either way, I find that there's not that many battlemaps in desert-like environments.
Afternoon Maps
Cheers for the suggestions Arthur! Elemental stuff can certainly be used for a number of different purposes. When I create some more elemental based maps I'll make sure to think about their flexibility. And I'm sure at some point I'll go back to some older maps and add snow variants, once I have a good style for it.

I pressed enter by mistake. But things like a fiery forge: It can be used both as a dwarven forge, a fire giant forge or an elemental plane A watery aqueduct can be used as an ellaborate sewer system, an underwater temple or an yuanti temple Hanging bridges in the middle of a mountain pass could serve as a giant eagle's nest, an air elemental plane, just a mountain pass and so on Rocky is straight on so I would just skip that but for a shadowfell or feywild thing, probably a graveyard with ebony like assets it could be used as Hades home plan, the shadowfell, a necromancer lair, and so on. There are so many options and I think that a lot of the battlemaps touch things like roadside inns. Crossroads, and others so going a little off track actually may be an awesome way to showcase yourself

It would be really interesting to get more snowy things or more elemental like things. I know they are a little more niche, but perhaps they can be adapted to more than one context.
Afternoon Maps
I think you will like the map I'm currently working on. Good suggestions! Thanks Meat!
Some sort of garden, greenhouse, or hedge maze might be nice.

Thirding!

I second this man's decision!
Seconding this, some sort of big boss room would be amazing!
Afternoon Maps
I've been running a game set in a desert region so this one would certainly be useful. Added onto the list, cheers Oceanic!
Afternoon Maps
Mmm, I could have used one of those myself a few months ago, had to DM a fight with a hive of giant hornets. Added to the list, thanks!

A narrow multi-level cliffside up a desert mountain range.
Kari Hoffren
How about a giant wasp/spider/insect nest?
Afternoon Maps
I've been eyeing up a port map for a while, and a fortified bridge is another good one, Cheers Patrick!
Patrick
Perhaps a fortified bridge ready for an invading force. Or a city port to go with your urban maps.
Afternoon Maps
Good idea! Haven't done lava in a map yet, should be fun.
Nick Schweitzer
Happy new year! For a map idea: A fire giant's forge inside a volcano. I love your vibrant colours and wanna see what you can do with red :)
