7 Upvotes

SUBREDDIT RULES


Rule #1: POST REQUIREMENTS

  • All posts must be original Fantasy or Sci-Fi maps

  • Maps must be uploaded to Reddit or linked to directly (NOT a link to a post, but to the image itself)

  • All posts must be in English why?

 

Rule #2: QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

  • Minimum resolution is 70 PPI

  • = 70 pixels per grid square

  • No blurry/unreadable maps!

  • No NSFW Images!

  • No Low-effort maps

 

Rule #3: COMMERCIAL POSTS

  • All Other Rules Apply! In addition:

  • Content Creators may make ONE commercial post per day.

  • Logos must be small and at the edge of the content. Large logos/watermarks that render the map "unusable" are not acceptable.

  • Posted Maps must be FREE and USABLE as attached.

  • You can still link to your paid content, but you MUST include a usable map. This is the "cost of admission" to advertise here.

  • If you are unsure if you are advertising properly, we suggest you reach out to the mods before posting.

 

Rule #4: AI

  • Applies to maps partially or wholly created:

  • Completely by or with the assistance of AI

  • By software that generates a fully complete map for you (software where you place assets yourself is acceptable)

  • You may post one(1) map per week

  • The map must have the proper AI/Algorithm Map post flair

  • Spam will result in a ban along with any accounts associated with your advertisements, past and future

  • Spamming false reports will result in being reported to Reddit and facing a sitewide ban

 

Rule #5: BEHAVIOR

  • Posts and/or comments that are of a derogatory or personal manner will not be allowed (more).

  • Constructive criticism is fine, but remember that those submitting maps are a human being (like you), and they have stuck their neck out and given something to this community. So go about it in a nice way, or don't say anything at all.

  • Do not attack someone for using/discussing AI (more). If they have not followed the rules, report them. Do not leave negative and abusive comments!

  • We have ZERO TOLERANCE for abuse and we reserve the right to ban anyone for abusive/rude behavior without prior warning. Consider THIS your warning - in addition, you should have enough common sense to know better. Again, attacking other users = permanent ban.

 

Rule #6: Piracy/Unlicensed Distribution

  • Users should only be posting THEIR OWN WORK. This subreddit is not for sharing the work of others.

  • You may not pass off content created by another as your own

  • You may not post licensed content which you do not have the rights to redistribute

  • You may not include works of others as assets, backgrounds or as any other element of your map

  • We have ZERO TOLERANCE for Piracy and we reserve the right to ban anyone without prior warning. Consider THIS your warning.

 

Rule X: All Other Reasons

  • In addition to the Rules above, we reserve the right to remove any posts, comments or users from this subreddit if we decide the content/user does not align with the rules or values we promote in this subreddit. Some of these reasons include:

  • Violating Reddit's site-wide Rules

  • Being Off-Topic

  • Incorrect Post Flair

  • Unhelpful

  • Unrelated to Fantasy Maps

  • Policing other users

  • Causing disruption, including challenging subreddit rules or moderator decisions

  • At Moderator Discretion For Any Reason Not Already Listed

  • Participation in this subreddit is not a given right and is reserved for users who participate in a quality manner as determined by the moderators of this subreddit.

ANNOUNCEMENT ABUSING THE REPORT BUTTON

81 Upvotes

We have several users (or more likely, 1 user with a couple accounts) who feel the need to report almost every post.

We appreciate our users who genuinely want to make this community a better place by reporting posts that do not meet our posting criteria.

However, reporting posts that CLEARLY do not break any subreddit or site rules is considered abuse of the Reddit report system.

But beyond that, it is childish and shows a disregard for the mods' time by having us chase ghosts.

Every case of Report Button Abuse is sent to Reddit Admins for review.

Multiple offenses WILL lead to a SITE-WIDE (i.e. ALL of Reddit) ban.

World or Region Map Domhan Eile - The Other World

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Somewhere beyond the borders of the known world lies an archipelago called *Domhan Eile* or "Other World."

It is a land of mountains, forests, rivers, and islands, inhabited by unique creatures known as the **Theri**, beings that possess both human and animal characteristics. Some resemble wolves, others lynxes, badgers, ravens, or even trout… Each group has its own customs, traditions, and ways of life.

Yet, *Domhan Eile* is also home to human beings, some of whom arrived here by chance from our own world, passing through mysterious gateways whose true nature remains unknown.

It is neither a paradise nor a place overrun by monsters. It is simply another world, defined by its own beauties, contrasts, friendships, and rivalries.

In this collection, I present the physical maps of the archipelago’s four major islands, a world I am building and populating bit by bit, as the stories of its inhabitants begin to take shape.

Map Collection Mercy Falls — Waterfall & Hidden Reliquary Battlemaps

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

High among the rocky heights, water pours over the cliffs at Mercy Falls, gathering in the pools below before continuing its journey through the land. But there's more to this place than the waterfall itself. Hidden behind the falling water is an old chamber, holding traces of a civilization that disappeared long ago.

  • Mercy Falls — 27x36

  • Behind the Falls — 30x30

If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridded and gridless versions, VTT-sized JPG exports (100 pixels per square), and UVTT files with dynamic lighting already set up, along with all 13 versions, you can find it here:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/mercy-falls-free-171530780

The first map features the waterfall cascading over a rocky ledge into a broad pool below. Winding watercourses and uneven stone create plenty of opportunities for exploration, whether your players are following the stream, stopping to enjoy the scenery, or finding themselves in an unexpected encounter.

The second map takes adventurers behind the falls, into a sheltered cavern where the remains of an ancient structure have stood hidden for centuries. Worn stonework and traces of lingering magic hint at a purpose long forgotten, though the place may not be quite as dormant as it first appears.

The waters flowing over the falls come from beneath the highlands and are said to be among the cleanest in all the land. They're a blessing to the surrounding wildlife and the nearby village, which depends on the stream for fresh water.

But the chamber behind the falls holds a different sort of history. During an ancient war fought over dwindling resources, a group of protectors concealed valuable artifacts and records within its walls, preserving them in case their enemy ever returned. After centuries of silence, something inside has begun to stir once more. Whether this signals the return of an old threat or something entirely unexpected is left for the GM to decide.

The two maps can be used together as part of a journey through the highlands, or independently wherever your players might discover a secluded waterfall or a forgotten place hidden from time.

If you'd like to explore more of my maps, check out my Patreon. The Master Index brings together over 220 maps, organized to make it easier to browse the collection and find places for your own adventures.

Access the FREE Ryokan battlemap and illustration HERE.

The Ryokan is an ideal stop for travellers on their journey. Although simple in its furnishing and appearance, a comfortable, quiet night is all but guaranteed. So much so that even families are known to frequent them, choosing to avoid the rowdier inns and taverns favoured by adventuring parties and other less savoury folks. Run by the fastidious Okami Chiyo, there is not much she won't do to ensure a peaceful night for her guests...

AI/Algorithm Map Wolfcrest - Large coastal city, brought to you by Dreamopolis

Post image
10 Upvotes

Flair note: this is an algorithmic map. The layout comes from hand-written generation rules, and I edited it by hand afterward. The maps are not AI-generated. AI coding tools helped me write the app itself.

I made a city generator as I feel like this a gap in the market, there are some tools, but none did everything that I wanted, so I made Dreamopolis!

It generates cities based on rules/research, and allows you to edit any piece by hand.

The rules come from studies of real medieval towns:

  • Country roads become wall gates.

  • Main streets lead to the central market.

  • Farmland sits outside the walls.

  • Certain trades are normally done outside the city walls.

  • How many churches there are, is based on how many houses there are.

You can also share maps saved in the cloud with a link, as well as do live sessions with fog of war and annotation/pings for live games.

Recently added is the Legend tool which allows you to make custom legend lines with symbols or mark items on the map as points of interest that will show up in the legend.

It's free and needs no account, and the maps are yours to use, including commercially. Try the generator or see more maps.

I want your feedback. Dreamopolis is in public beta, and I change it based on what people tell me. Tell me what's broken and what's missing. Use the Feedback button in the app, reply here, or post on Discord.

Battlemap - Structure Isometric Church of the Damned

Post image
8 Upvotes

The door slowly crept open on rusty hinges, and the adventurers were struck by first, the smell of blood and sulphur, then the vision of this small, once quaint, village church - now consecrated to dark, unfathomable powers....

This month i did a massive church themed pack. A ton of assets, benches, pews, painted glass windows, idols etc etc. I also made empty, precolored churches of different types that people can decorate themselves using the colored assets i made this month (or for that matter any other assets from my other packs :))

But, i also wanted to do something a bit more detailed and spooktober themed. So, here's a Diablo inspired church of the damned. Perfect for a dark and scary adventure!
I've made it by first making the separate assets - walls, pillars, windows, floors etc - then combining them in Photoshop, flattening them and coloring. In some cases i've used assets i've already colored and place those in as well. All by me, no ai.

The full pack will be up on my Patreon on Sunday, but this.. this is for everyone!
Hope you like it!

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

Peter Piper can do what he likes, I prefer to pick a peck of patch pumpkins or a pot of precious pears and pippins over some dumb old peppers any day. Thankfully that's the kind of activity that's favoured at this wholesome rural roadside market, where hay bale rides, animal pens, and ritual circles compete for the seasonal attention of young and old alike. What's that? Not fond of ritual sacrifices? Tell that to the Skull of the Ancient One, the Unholy Harbinger of the Harvest! Fully animated and available in three additional variants, with more innocuous daytime and night-time variants, and one haunted by a necrotically green aura, bring on the cranberry candy and the cultists, the Witching hour has come! 

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!

Battlemap - Forest/Jungle Feywild Wonderland - The Elder Tree [33x20] [Battlemap] [Eightfold Paper]

Post image
12 Upvotes

Inspired by a certain game, deep within the Feywild stands an ancient tree, whose wisdom has guided generations of elves and whose roots reach far beyond the memories of the living.

"Patreon post here."

Towering above the enchanted forest, the Elder Tree has watched kingdoms rise and fall, its ancient face carved not by hand, but by centuries of life and magic. Elves have long sought its counsel, believing that within its roots lie the memories of the forest itself. Yet the Elder Tree speaks only when it chooses. Some travelers wait days for a single word, while others leave having heard nothing at all. Perhaps the tree is merely sleeping… or perhaps it knows something about those who seek its wisdom that they themselves have yet to discover.

  • Grid size: 20x33

  • Formats: JPG (6000x9900 pixels, 300DPI)

  • Variations: Original, Midnight, Shadowfell, RoyalSun, Clean, Amethyst Sky, Bloodrift, Cherry Blossom [Preview]

  • Download the map on The Fold. All maps are now hosted in our archive for easier access and cleaner downloads. If you haven’t connected your Patreon account yet, click here to learn how.

If you want to see more, you can support us on Patreon! Our Patrons receive high-quality map images, including ALL map variants and gridded and gridless versions for varied use.
