I don't see many Sci-Fi battlemaps being posted so I thought I would help out a little bit. I have been running 2 sci-fi rpgs concurrently for 3 years and have amassed quite a few decent maps that I have made in DungeonDraft. They are nothing special, but considering how rare sci-fi maps can be, I hope someone finds them helpful. These were all made for 40k or SWN but feel free to use them wherever. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ewe4a3qi083phftrz4f0r/h?rlkey=76c1aogifucbbds47u8fms7eh&dl=0

City Underbelly was one of the winning themes of the month, and I decided to go with something that could be pretty versatile. You could use this as an underground lair, or an above ground city chunk, you could put a market down in the large open space too! You can download the free version of the map here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/secret-lair-map-86720259 If you like my work, please consider supporting me <3.

In the style of 2e dungeon poster map. a subterranean river has eroded away an entrance into a forgotten dungeon.

Different colored regions denote warring factions or changing dungeon themes.

When I ran this, I had the players fall into A 1 through a collapsing cave roof into a burrow of snakes, fight a dragon section B, encounter a colony of bat people (basically kobolds that fly) sections C, D, E, F, G, H, and then discover a small Myconid colony in section I. Section J, the river also presented random encounters, and serves as an alternate entrance and exit to this map.

Trolls have taken up residence in the caves surrounding this forgotten temple. Only when adventurers come to investigate the blocked river will they have a chance of finding something more.

This single route to the center maze protects against spells such as passwall with walls filled with pressurized lava that damage cheaters and seal the wall behind it.

Lava Tree [100x100] (lemmy.world)

Tremendous in size, this burning tree hides two access points along its east side to hollowed out caves and veins of lava within.

Above the line: main map. Cave access is hidden on the left side of the map within the cliff face.

Below the line: second- and sub-levels.

This long-dry-river-now-road hides a shadowy cave in its crook. Conceal the cave with either fog of war or additional foliage assets.

Hi everyone!

First time I'm sharing one of my maps. Figured, I'd give it a shot, since I am very pleased with the outcome on this one and I made all ships from scratch in Dungeondraft using Forgotten Adventure Assets.

You get the grid version (very light grid).

Hope it's good for someone and useful as such!

Hi everyone!

If you’ve been with me for a while, you know that I LOVE Lovecraftian stuff. And this month’s winning themes are Cosmic Horror and City Underbelly… and honestly, I feel like I could have a whole Patreon dedicated to Lovecraftian stuff alone. Oh and this is a phased battle map, but Lemmy doesn't let me upload more than one picture to the post (tried in the comments too and it is giving me errors).

Here’s a quick reminder, just in case you wanted to use one of these phased battle maps on Roll20, and not sure how to: you can just go to the map layer, and put the phased maps, from last phase to first, on top of each other. Then when it is time to get to a new phase, you can simply right click the top layer and then click “Send to Back”.

If you are a Foundry user, I have Scene Phaser, with both a free and a premium version that makes it super easy for you to use phased maps in Foundry!

You can download this map for free here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cosmic-horror-86157375 - however, I also have a lot of premium variations available for those who want to support me!

Apps for Maps (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Can you recommend Apps for Ios that work well, ie similar to Hex kit? I want to make some on the go, that still look decent

This was a post that was a response to the weekly prompt from /c/Mapmaking . Here was the prompt:

This Week’s Prompt: A sprawling, labyrinthine library in an ancient, arcane tower.

Envision an arcane tower, nestled away from the prying eyes of the world. Within its lofty confines lies a labyrinthine library, stretching across floors and disappearing into shadowy corners. The air thrums with the silent whispers of countless tomes. What mysteries do these dusty pages hold? What encounters could one stumble upon in this maze of knowledge?

Trying to work more with dungeon alchemist, trying to get better about getting maps that are usable fast as possible rather than getting stuck on nitty gritty details. Also just trying to learn how to use it more. The cinematic tool is pretty cool, I wish I could change the skybox up though.

Gargoyle Lighthouse (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by Redsven to c/battlemaps
 
 

As requested, we have an old lighthouse by a cliffshore, inhabited by two masonic gargoyles who seem to be working on something....big.

I wanted to link the different floors of the light house together rather than just having three circles arranged and labeled. Overall I'm pretty into it. I hope you guys like it too.

*Discover the enchantment of the forgotten Enchanted Oasis, a hidden gem within the crumbling walls of an ancient castle. Within its square borders, an overgrown garden reveals itself, once a vibrant display of cultivated beauty, now a sanctuary for wild plants and untamed flora. At the center, a fountain stands as a solitary sentinel, its waters long still, yet its intricate carvings still radiating the echoes of forgotten tales.

As you explore the leafy corridors of this abandoned garden, listen closely to the whispers of the wind. What secrets lie dormant amidst the tangled foliage? The remnants of battles and encounters past linger in the air, waiting to be unraveled by those brave enough to venture forth.*

This map was made in response to the Weekly Community Prompt over on /c/MapMaking. We do weekly mapmaking prompts over there, so come check it out!

This was made using Dungeon Alchemist, which Im still getting used to. Its a drastically faster mapmaking tool, so trying to improve my skills with it so I can make maps faster on the fly.

🌱 Interested in creating your own unique maps with Dungeon Alchemist? Join me on my creative journey and explore more captivating creations on my Patreon. Together, let's unlock the untamed beauty and share our map-making skills with the world!

So this is a set of maps I made for my party's adventures on a small island nation, nestled on top of a dormant volcano

The furthest out map shows the island's nearest neighbors, the supposedly uninhabited Burning Keyes, which are still active volcanoes.

The second map shows the largest of the cities/communities on the island.

The third is a close up of a trek they had to make through the central part of the island in search of a secret entrance to a lost temple.

Ask me anything about the islands and I'll give you the lore. Ask me something I don't know yet and I'll make it up. Anybody that wants to use these can, and is free to gleam lore out of the comments if they want.

Hand drawn on Procreate, 30x30. Ran my players through this adventure to introduce them to an aloof and rather rude deity.
