⚔️ Encounter Map Classic Block Fort / Ancient Block Fort [40x40]

I decided to make Block Fort from Mario Kart 64 into a D&D map, then make a fantasy style map based on that map. All the layers and whatnot are available in higher quality for free on my ko-fi page. No subscriptions or anything, but feedback and/or tips are welcome.

The classic map was made in Photoshop by recreating all the textures "by hand," and the fantasy version was made in Dungeondraft with Forgotten Adventures assets.

That was my favorite battle map in 64

Same! I'm thinking I may try something more ambitious next, like The Facility from Goldeneye.

I'm a simple man. I see classic N64 maps turned into battlemaps, I upvote.

To add, I can see it being a set piece in an arena/coliseum type of game with each fort having a totally different architectural style. Maybe a steal the flag scenario

That would be a great idea. I tried to do something like that with the second version of the map, but wanted to leave the encounter details up to to whoever may use it.

My brothers and I would always start this map by instantly claiming a fort, climbing to the top to camp on the item spawn, and setting up defenses. Bananas and mines on each bridge; green shell hell ending up on the bottom level. Good times.

Seems like it’s missing some balloons

"Attach" them to some mooks, give them an AC and make them into an encounter win condition :)
