Poll results and map ideas please!
🕑 Added 2019-03-03 23:37:05 +0000 UTCMarch is here and I'll be working on more of your ideas for maps, as well as a few of my own. Our current list looks like this (in no order):
- Fire giant's forge (with lava!)
- Fortified bridge
- Desert city streets
- City port
I'd like to work on an urban map this week, so I'm thinking I'll look at the City Port idea. There are quite a few city port maps around, so I'd like to try a different spin on the idea. I'm looking at more of a harbour with break water and harbour walls. A map you can use for a smaller town or a fishing village if needed. While I work on that I want your help coming up with future map ideas!
Submit your map idea!
Please use the comments section below, or private message me. Describe your ideas in one or two sentences and remember these need to be suitable for a 30x30 battle map. Don't get to specific, I like a bit of room to add my own take on these :) And if you like a suggestion by another person, give it a like so I know you think its cool!

Thanks for completing the poll, its given me a good idea what in general you are looking for. It turns out that most of you want to see me create some Environment Map packs, so I'll be looking at those in the near future. And I'll also start looking at animating some of my maps as an experiment, and see how that goes!
Thanks for your support and as always happy adventuring!

Ohh and the monster idea is really fun as well :)

Thanks Donator! I do enjoy creating water effects, my latest map is actually going to be a port/harbour (should be out in a couple of days). So yes, I'll certainly be adding a beach into the list!
Afternoon Maps
Hey Fox! Good idea. You're right there aren't to many of those. I'm looking at starting to create environment map packs for you all and this is another biome I'll look at creating I think.

What about a rocky desert environment? I ran a D&D western a while back, and all the desert maps I could find were pale sandy type deserts. Some dry red rocks, mesas and scrub would have been super handy for my ghost cowboys to ride around it. Also, if you feel like something really outlandish, every RPG has a dungeon that's inside a giant monster right? We're talking fleshy corridors, mysterious membranes, pools of suspicious mystery liquid... all that good (disgusting) stuff. It would certainly be a departure from the average map, at least :p

Some sort of idyllic (or... less so) beach? A place where perhaps a navy could land in a war, or where explorers might find themselves shipwrecked.

So I see. ^^' I've actually used one or two of them in my campaigns, but most of them are awfully vanilla, if you know what I mean.

Thanks Kari!, some nice ideas here. Brandon also suggested a Laboratory, so that maybe an option.
Afternoon Maps
Fort/Castles are always useful!
Afternoon Maps
Kari suggested a few boss room ideas with a Grand Laboratory as one of them, sounds like you are thinking along the same lines.
Afternoon Maps
This one will fit quite well into the current "Fortified bridge idea". If you google Fortified bridge you actually get a lot of Guard towers in the middle of bridges.
Afternoon Maps
I like quite a few of these but the one I'm really interested in is the Bath house! Every campaign should have both a beech and a bathhouse episode!

ive never seen anyone do like a fantasy science lab, with like vats for weird human hybrid people and like surgery tables, might be cool
Vartiainen
A guard tower in the middle of a river, with a bridge going through it.

On second thought, maybe I should throw around some ideas of specific bosses: - The Grand Laboratory of the Mad Necromancer - The Ritual Chamber of a Demonic Cult - The Throne Room of the Giant King - A Beholder's Lair
Kari Hoffren
A large boss chamber with some environmental hazards and/or different levels, so that a flying monster or ranged enemies/characters can exploit the height differences. Basically something to put at the end of a multi-level dungeon.
Brandon Hinds
Mountain fort/castle

• A zoo - Could be on the grounds of a fancy villa or a city zoo in the park, or even an underground version. But overall, pathways and cages to be filled with whatever beasties we want. • A dam - Probably not a huge one, but maybe a decent sized river/stream with a damn build across it. We've gotten a lot of river maps over the years, but i don't recall ever seeing a damn. • A decently big/steep waterfall with a switchback trail linking the top and bottom of the falls, maybe with some nests or cave entrances along the way. • A big, hollow tree with something inside. • A hollow statue with rooms inside, maybe standing or maybe fallen. • A shipwreck in the desert. • Urban bathhouse with large and small pools and exercise rooms.

Second this one haaaaaaaaaaaard!
Afternoon Maps
Love it! Quite an original map, which could be fitted into most urban campaigns with ease.

I have an ambassadors birthday celebration coming up. A famed group of bards are coming to perform at an opera hall. Id love to see the theatre stage or even backstage area. Maybe some private viewing booths in the balconies etc too
Afternoon Maps
Any idea with the word Octopus in it gets green lit straight away :D
Kai G.
I second this idea. A kraken's lair complete with shipwreck/eldritch ritual chamber. Some cool Lovecraftian maps would be neat!
Patrick
Your floating temple peaked my curiosity about water themed maps. An underwater scene would be interesting. Maybe something like a giant octopus's lair or a sunken ship.
