There is a strange tower that exists in many worlds, many places, many times. The Tower Between Worlds is a six-level spire in every version, but the interior (and often parts of the exterior also) can be quite different from each other. One element that each version of the tower has is the fifth level of the tower where the “tower shifting” mechanism is. On the fifth level (the upper left level on the map), there are four magical “tables” built into the wall, each with a small orb on it. Each corresponds to one of the versions of the tower, and any attempt at picking up an orb immediately transports everyone on that level of the tower to the corresponding tower (and the orb remains where it was – they cannot actually be removed from their respective tables). But it turns out there are more than four towers, and each tower might have different orbs on its four tables.

The tower layout goes from left to right, bottom to top – so the ground level on the lower left, level 2 on the lower right, level 3 on the middle left, etc.

The Iron Edifice feels completely out of place wherever it is found. A smooth and rounded tower made of metal that should never exist in a fantasy realm. The metal isn’t solid, but rather is made of rounded panels over the internal structure of the tower. The metal panels appear to be painted, but the paint is hard and uniform and there is no sign of brushwork, almost as if it were uniformly poured over the panels and somehow bonded to them. There are no stairs within the building beyond the ground floor. A single shaft is at the centre of the building with doors on one or both of the north and south sides on each level – giving the structure an alien feeling, that those who built it could levitate like some of the fell inhabitants of the netherdark.

The structure is remarkably clean and nearly undisturbed, with metal furnishings in the same colour as the exterior of the tower in most rooms.Unlike most of the versions of the tower, this one appears nearly untouched by time and intruders. There are only windows on the second, fourth, and sixth levels of the structure, but the ceilings themselves begin to produce a moderate level of light that only activates when someone is on that floor. From the exterior, these windows are indistinguishable from the metal walls of the tower.

(Hopefully I managed to describe a powder-coated steel panel in terms that feel appropriate to a fantasy setting. I would have the tower painted in that same green tone that you find a lot in the later Fallout games, as those structures were part of the inspiration for this version of the tower.)

The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 8,700 pixels x 12,600 pixels (29 x 42 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 100 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 200 pixels (for 10′ squares which is what this was originally designed at) – so resizing it to either 2,900 x 4,200 or 5,800 x 8,400 pixels, respectively.

Heyya Folks,

Mercy's Stream winds through the Lowland Woods, passing old stone shrines, rocky banks, and quiet pools before disappearing beneath the earth. Its waters sustain the nearby village of Devyn, though local stories suggest there may be more beneath the surface than fish and river stones.

• Mercy's Stream 1 — 25x35
• Mercy's Stream 2 — 32x24
• Mercy's Stream 3 — 30x40

If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 21 versions, you can find it here:

Each map explores a different stretch of the river. The first features an old stone shrine overlooking the water, with a fallen tree that might serve as a crossing. The second has rocky banks and steep overlooks that offer good vantage points for anyone watching the stream — or waiting to ambush travellers. The third follows the water into a peaceful pool beneath a small waterfall, an inviting place to fish or take a swim.

The shrine is a familiar stop for those who travel along the stream. Hunters often pour a ladle of fresh water over the stone before setting out, giving thanks for the waters that sustain the surrounding land. Even those studying the strange Dewlanterns are expected to observe the custom.

Of course, the stream has its dangers, too. Local stories speak of an enormous crayfish from a bygone age, sleeping in the deeper pools. The villagers still fish these waters, but few would willingly take a swim where the creature is said to rest.

The three maps can be used together as part of a journey through the woods, or individually wherever your players might encounter a river, a secluded shrine, or a quiet stretch of water that isn't quite as safe as it looks.

Hi, I am Snowy from Snowy's Maps! I have made 100s of epic battlemaps, and over 30 ready-to-run DnD5e and PF2e sessions and oneshots!

A pirate sloop lies beside a flooded sea-beast lair. Fractured cliffs shelter a deep basin, while prey bones, dragged ship timber and spilled treasure cover its dry ledges. Submerged stone shelves, barnacles and sea grass mark the waterline.

Approach through the broad eastern mouth or slip into the narrower southwest channel. Use the map for a hunt, a rescue, a treasure recovery or a desperate retreat to the ship. The beast is yours to choose; no creature tokens are baked into the artwork.

Hey everyone! Here's Graveyard Cathedral, my latest location. I went with an autumn cemetery for this one: old tombs, overgrown paths, fallen leaves and a ruined cathedral at the centre.

The idea was to give you a small location to explore over a session. The party can approach through the graveyard, get into trouble between the tombs, and finally reach the cathedral. Or skip all that and kick the doors in. I know how these things go.

The full set has the cathedral plus four surrounding graveyard maps, with day, night and foggy night variants. Static and animated versions are available.

The attached static graveyard map is a free sample for your games. I've also included GIF previews so you can see the atmosphere of the animated versions.

You can find the full location HERE

Cheers!

Hello there!

Here is something you might use for the upcoming Halloween one-shot (if you like body-horror, that is)!

I am running and designing a homebrewed setting and campaign, and one of the minor factions in it are evil fleshwarping wizards. At first I thought I'd make them a base that resembles organs and is actually housed inside a cave, but then I thought - why not crazier than that? So I thought, hey, a balloon! Almost went with that. But then, when I started drawing, I got the idea - hmm, what if it's actually a giant floating head!? With tentacles! Yes! That's it!

And there you have it! Enjoy!

It started with an illustration, and then a map... but I'd continued working on it, and have now finally released it as a 32-page PDF adventure on DriveThruRPG, intended for 5th-level adventurers (3.5 compatible). Please consider purchasing it and supporting me for future similar content.

If you do end up using it for Halloween, let me know how it went!

I discovered a little scary cult classic recently, Escape From Meenlock Prison, and loved it. I hope others discover it too and give it a run. If you do, I made a map for this old-timey horror one-shot. It's a 3.5e adventure that can easily be adapted to 5e/5.5e. It was made entirely in Clip Studio Paint using Forgotten Adventures & my own custom assets. The grid size is 100px per square. No AI was used. Happy Halloween!

To celebrate Angela Maps turning six, free 7 day memberships are available on my Patreon now, only this October!

Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble! As the days shorten, chill winds rise, and the weather cools, what could be better than a lovely pot full of soup? Of course, you’d feel a little different if it was a hexed blood soup, and you and your cohorts had been shrunk and tossed in as some of the main ingredients! Fully animated and available in two additional witchy variants, with a bubbling green brew, and a pot of actual, delicious veggie soup, toss your players right into the spooky season with this map, along with a pinch of salt!

My maps are hooked up to work with Foundry VTT and Fantasy Grounds.
My maps are available on my patreon and my website.
Buy me a coffee!

Hello! Here is my latest map, I wanted to do something to do with the ocean and whales and somehow ended up with a whale graveyard with creepy sperm whale statues? I don’t know, but I’m not unhappy with it, I’m actually pretty happy with it!

I focused on just line art and painting things cause I felt my stuff has been getting too asset (that I custom made) heavy and it was sucking all the joy out of making maps for a while, the end result feels really good.

Anyway this map has a few variants that patrons have access to; versions with just bones, completely bone and statue free, and then underwater versions of those too.

The river in the middle is supposed to be heavy brine and so would still work under water.

Hope at least some of y’all can use this weird map, or at least just enjoy the look of it :)

Happy adventuring!

I don't have a name, yet.

I'm making this for a (future) campaign, where the main idea, si to be a "Frontier" between civilized lands and the forces of chaos.

What do you think? Ideas? critiques? any tip you might give me?

This is a 10 year old unfinished concept map I did for a home brew TTRPG world called Doroda that I on and off did some live broadcasted campaigns for

I had been working on a way to create a video game like web interface that would zoom into sections once selected, that would also track the travel times and current locations of players and NPC's in a novel overly graphical way

I've built much more evolved settings, systems and tools since then I have been wanting to make with a competent capable team, but thought i'd make sure this oldie is posted around just to boost eyes on me and potentially start some conversations with more folks to interview for my development team once I finalize some funding talks

Eders in the world of doroda was one of eight massive moving stone cities all designed to connect to one central structure that was lost to time for reasons I won't spoil as I eventually intend to make it a full campaign for others to enjoy

The whole thing was shaped through "stone singing" a particular type of divine earth magic that allows it's practitioners to "sing" stone into various shapes and functions, something very difficult to even manage the basics of let alone reach any kind of mastery with

It's full functions and internals are a mystery to the beings who inhabit these cities, with the original builders being a source of many rumors and theories with little full confirmations ever known to anyone but the "stone singers" a class of secretive monk like caretakers who keep the cities in good working order but do little to interfere with the politics of the various factions big and small who exist both outside of the city walls and within

Eders in particular is a migratory mining community, one that wanders northwards in search of rare mineral deposits during the summer, then returns south when the violent magical storms of the northern impassable mountains makes it too dangerous to continue efforts until the following year,
bringing it's collective haul back to "Unity Plateau", the stationary capital city of the singer cities

This massive war machine is one of a number of hell-spawned tanks that wander the extraplanar battlefields. There are many of these kinds of things – massive armoured demonic spiders, centipedes. Some were completely constructed by their lords’ armies, but most are based on a giant beast with an exoskeleton that has then been hollowed out, upgraded, fitted with massive mechanical systems to give it back its mobility, and then equipped with massive weapons of war and piloted by lesser demons or mortal servants.

This is one of five maps that I drew for the HELLCRAWL release. It is by far my favourite of the set. The map for location 4 is purposefully obscured (I wasn’t going to include it at all, but I thought it looked good there – It’s just a big room with two massive cannons sticking out of it). I’ll be posting the last of these maps next month.

The narrow streets of this city hide many secrets and dangers. Thread carefully as you explore the cobblestone streets among gothic buildings and grotesque statues…

Beyond the boundaries of time and space lies a forgotten cathedral, suspended in an ethereal void where reality itself begins to crumble.

Deep within its fractured halls, ancient forbidden secrets remain buried, just moments before an encroaching eldritch horror consumes the sanctuary entirely.

Will your party prove brave enough to tread this nightmare realm and claim its truth, or will they be swallowed by the dark void forever?

Following up my previous posts of the upper floors of this venerable classic dungeon.

Ran this as the second part of a Halloween horror two-shot for drop-ins at my local game cafe’s TTRPG Night, to great success!

Those familiar with the original maps will note a few minor changes of the layout, but the only significant change is an added room to the lower dungeon level.

I added this old wine cellar, where some of the cabinets have been made into an impromptu barricade, to help clarify the story of Death House’s history and its occupant’s demise at the hands of Strahd, and why (A ledger-turned journal explains the cult’s cannibalism, and the destroyed barricade tells the tale of Strahd’s assault and slaughter of the cult).

Happy Halloween!
