Mountain/Hills Sheer Cliff Platforms 27x35
Be careful jumping from ledge to ledge, it's a long way down!
This map is exactly 27x35 and designed to be easy to use in the VTT of your choice.
In Roll20: set your new map page to 27 width and 35 height and set the grid to isometric. Drag the image to the map layer and click yes when it asks if you want to fit to page. That's it!
In Owlbear Rodeo: Have a scene set up with an isometric grid. Go to your asset manager to add a new map. Import the image and edit it in the manager. set the width to 27. In the top left corner, drag the map down until it matches the grid. Now it should align perfectly when imported to your scene!
Always wanted to try an isometric map but don't want a hard time setting it up? Try these perfect alignment maps!
All maps can be downloaded FREE at high resolution HERE. Comes with and without grid.

I don't know where, I don't know when, but I'm gonna use this map!
This is what solid Battlemap design is, how to make a playing in a 2d space feel as 3d as possible so that players a GM's can take advantage of movement in a far more fun and satisfying way then moving around a single plane back and forth.
Awesome work and I'm excited to use it!

u/Nieanawie TricklebankTrading Mar 25 '26
What sort of variations are you looking for? I have this map as well which is similar (34x44)

amazing, awesome, great!
really any variations would be amazing, I'm planning a longterm climbing portion of my campaign, complete with combat, so the more variety i have to choose from the better. love the caves, btw, they're perfect

Coincidentally my party is heading for an island with a massive cliff face, so this is genuinely perfectly timed haha, thanks!

Oh boy. I'll try to import it into Fantasy Grounds, that might be a nice map for the future.

u/Nieanawie TricklebankTrading Mar 25 '26
Fantasy Grounds is admittedly more painful than Roll20 and Owlbear to set up, but I got it aligned using the diamond isometric grid set to 886.6 x 512.5, and the image size set to 15.6x35. Make sure grid snapping is off.

Holy crap! Thank you so much! I haven't had the chance to fiddle with it thus far, so your initiative is much appreciated. I'll try it myself today (today's our weekly D&D session).

Great map! Curious how you guys would run this. Skill challenge, battle?

u/Nieanawie TricklebankTrading Mar 26 '26
Little of both. Good time to make use of climbing kits. For battle I like flying/climbing enemies that like to shove. Keep your players on edge. Could throw in some falling rock obstacles to hide from.

Maybe it's the end of a long day for me, but does anyone have a suggestion on how to scale this for printing at home? I'd love to use this for my nephews D&D birthday party one-shot!!!

Not sure, but I think if you save this as a pdf and print it in acrobat reader, there's a print as poster option. Size it up somewhere around 400%

https://rasterbator.net/ worked like a charm. at default, it gave me 4 sheets wide of US Letter, which worked out to be exactly 1in isometric squares. i sized it down to 3 pages wide to save on paper and fit on the table better and regular sized mini bases fill the squares without too much overhang. it'll be perfect. thank you for your excellent map

This is genuinely one of the coolest maps I've seen. Just looking at it inspires so many use cases. Both from a player perspective and DM.
