A little map for the likes of cyberpunky, shadowrunny games.

This week's map is the Shadowed Wetland (30x35), a bleak and colorless bit of forest inspired by Shadowfell. That said, it probably could be even more bleak and colorless, I'm nearly able to detect green in the grass and bits of brown in the trees. Also, I'm not 100% sure there would be grass or plant life in the Shadowfell in the first place, so I suppose this maps is full of inaccuracies. Let's just call it a spooky forest and leave it at that.

If you like the map and are interested in more, come by my Patreon, I've got a bunch of them and I draw more every month.

As you steer your lone rowboat through the crumbling marble pillars of the temple, a massive, ancient face begins to clarify beneath the dark, reflective water.

The submerged colossal goddess remains frozen in a silent, watery tomb, her form and features lost to the profound depths.

You feel a chill as you realize this isn't just a ruin—her long-lost presence seems to wait for the ripples of your oars to wake her from her thousand-year slumber.

Hello everyone!

Back at it now with more scifi maps as my scifi campaign is back up and running, will post more maps this week from yesterdays session!

For now, here's an infected asteroid, perhaps your player intercept one in deep space? Uncover a giant secret?

What lies within? I'll post follow-ups tomorrow...

Enjoy!

High above the clouds, set on a layer of solidified Air and kept in place by eternal winds - the elegant, delicate construction serves as a temple of elemental air.

No earthly sounds can be heard there - just a whispering and roaring of the winds, and silent, almost ethereal hymns played by them on leaves and branches of the crystal tree.

There's no altar nor clerics - just a pool, illuminated by blue light - with an otherwordly face carved from unknown substance. It seems to wait...

Background Lore

Among humanoid races, elves are considered by many to be the pinnacle of ability. Their long lives allow them to excel in various disciplines and, therefore, achieve wondrous feats. One of the most popular discipline among elves is magic. Elves who become interested in magic have plenty of time to master their skills. Another factor that helps elves become experts is the little rest they need. Unlike humans, they can dedicate much more time in a day to any project, and keep on doing so for years and years.

I make my battlemaps in Talespire and it's usually not great for 2D maps, but I like how this came out in the 2D mode.

The original mine encounter map was for the online edition of D&D’s Dungeon Master’s Guide – 2024 rulebook. The adventure is called ‘Miner Difficulties”  and is meant for 2nd level adventurers.

I’ve tried to follow the original closely and even marked the different transition points. Rather than creating a true vertical map I laid out each level separately, just like in the original.

The original map was done by Mike Schley and you can order a print of Mike’s original map here. No affiliation. https://prints.mikeschley.com/p581848124/h2783f9a3
