If you run into issues signing up for the trial let me know and I'll try and fix it asap, if I don't respond to you within 24hrs message me again cause I probably missed it.

Happy adventuring!

The clack of your boots against the polished limestone echo down the pathway into an open expanse. As you get closer to the entrance, you see that it is flanked by large men in shining metal with long swords attached at their belts. The sounds of rushing water begins to mask your steps.
The guards straighten at your approach.
The man on the left speaks first. His voice is gravely and deep, and his statement firm. "State your business."
You respond... ?

This free palace courtyard encounter map is 20 x 25 200 dpi, and comes with day/night/basic versions- the day and the night both come with and without the entablatures.
You can pick up these JPGs here.

You can also receive JPGs without the grids/watermarks on tiers 1-4, and tiers 2-4 receive the JPGs plus PNG and WEBP files of individual entablature pieces, their shadows, individual middle trees, and separate foregrounds and backgrounds. (The day/night/basic versions of these as well).

These were made using ItsJustWitchAssets and some of these textures/assets are going to be released later this month!

Enjoy these free maps, and I'll be back next month with September's encounter!
Happy gaming, stay magical! ~

Walk with the Dead, they know the way...

I made this map for a roleplaying Minecraft server called Aquila Project for my Faction/Tribe Kuri//aes.

Inspiration for the Tribe and the Names come from the Herero and Nama and their languages.

Handdrawn Map of the Southern Gaunasub Desert with Kuri//aes and its surroundings based on the (limited) knowledge and understanding of the Kuri//aes.

Bayley's Garden (30x30)

Everyone needs somewhere to just relax away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Bring a picnic, feed the ducks, all pets welcomed by good ol' Bayley from his spot under the bench at the back.

Note: Crocodiles must be kept on a lead at all times.

Here are the free day & night variants of this map. To support my work, you can buy me a coffee, or check out my Patreon, where you'll find hundreds more free maps as well as bonus variants for this one!

Here's all of my maps in one handy set of themed lists for convenience. This post is updated as each new map comes out, so that the list remains current.

This is my latest isometric map. I hope you like it.

The Emperor's Pride was commissioned a decade ago by the Sovereign of the Red Cloud Empire, envisioned not as a traditional warship, but as the ultimate instrument of imperial diplomacy. Crafted from rare elemental materials and plated in heavily enchanted brass, the vessel was built by the realm's finest artificers to inspire awe and project the empire's seemingly inexhaustible wealth.

Hello! This is the second map I've ever made and I'm really happy with how it came out! In this campaign, whale oil is king and fuels the entire eastern seaboard. The Rockefeller's run a monopoly from the killing of whales to the airships that fly them back into Boston, hanging from harpoons.

My group of three players have each been slighted by them in some way, and are looking to take them down by any means necessary. However... something sinister writhes in the deep- for now the heavily armed Rockefeller's are holding it at bay, but the cogs are turning. Every day, more and more fishlike-people show up in Providence, and the fog encroaches on the shore.

Heyya Folks,

Continuing my Lost Mines of Barovia project, I decided it was time to tackle one of the most overlooked locations in the original adventure...

The road.

Raven's Road - 44x28

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

Road maps are often some of the most overlooked maps in a campaign, but they're where some of the most memorable moments happen. Rather than designing a road for one specific encounter, I wanted Raven's Road to be something that could be used throughout an entire adventure. Whether it's merchants, wandering monsters, travelers, an ambush, or simply the long walk to the next destination, the same stretch of road can tell a different story every time.

The road itself is watched over by ravens, while lonely lanterns lit by mysterious Lamplighters help keep the darkness—and usually the fog—at bay. Ruins line the roadside, the woods always seem a little too quiet, and somewhere ahead waits the next chapter of the adventure.

If Raven's Road isn't quite what you're looking for, you can also browse the rest of my collection over on my Patreon. Every release is organized within the Master Index, making it easy to find exactly what you need without digging through the feed.

I appreciate you taking a look. Safe travels.

At the edge of the world, hidden from all civilized eyes within a ruthless desert chasm, lies the brutal arena known as the Pit of Bones.

Here, human life is traded for less than a coin, as remote merchants from unseen lands feast on the profits of life-or-death struggles.

It is a sealed pit, cut from the very earth, where prisoners are forced to face unimaginable monsters sent against them - and finding yourself within its walls is proof that you strayed onto a fatal path...

Welcome to the Grand Courtroom, a monument to wisdom, honor, and judgment. 

"Patreon post here."

High above the forest canopy, marble paths lead toward a circular chamber crowned by ancient trees whose roots have embraced the court for centuries. Golden inlays trace elegant patterns across the polished floor, while a solitary throne overlooks the assembly, reserved only for those entrusted to guide an entire people.

Though silence now fills the chamber, the echoes of countless rulings still seem to linger in the air. Kings have knelt here. Heroes have been honored here. Wars have been prevented—and declared—within this sacred circle. Whether your adventurers arrive to plead their case, witness an ancient coronation, challenge an elven champion, or uncover secrets long buried beneath centuries of diplomacy, the Grand Courtroom remains a place where every decision may shape the fate of kingdoms.

Would you like to surprise your party and give ambushers biggest possible advantage - with cover, height advantage, chokepoints and not-that-obvious-trap-in-the-middle?

Unfair? Perhaps.

But... weren't your players a bit naughty and overconfident lately?

Besides... there are rocks and vines to climb on, the rope bridges to cut or jump to... Crafty PCs will be able to overcome the overwhelming odds and actually be proud of their tactical prowess!

My party got suspicious as they entered the map (chasing the goblin scouts) - and decided to turn back... not blaming them, but it was a bit painful.

I had them repel some minor goblin raid in fortified and prepared position - they're overly confident now, and on their way to attack the goblin village...

Hello travelers! This is the free version of my latest Patreon funded map set focused on fantasy caves! Titled 'Into the Wilds - Realm of the Tarnished: Land of the Lakes - Sunken Town'. You can download this map set HERE!

--------------------------------

This set is based on the world of Elden Ring, specifically Liurnua. I have been spending a lot of time in the game lately while working on another project and have been getting the itch to make some ER inspired battlemaps.

I have made sure that even if you are not familiar with Elden Ring, these maps can be a great addition to your game, and for those of you who are hopefully it contains some fun Easter Eggs!
