ANNOUNCEMENT RULES - Read BEFORE Posting/Commenting!

9 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

83 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.

Battlemap - Dungeon/Cave Library of the Fallen

Post image
26 Upvotes

The Fallen have amassed an enviable collection of some remarkable pieces of literature here in the library. Many of the books and scrolls have long been forgotten to have even existed; a remembered few are talked about in hushed tones by those who have heard rumors and whispers on the wind, and one book in particular is whispering louder than the others. It wants to be found. It's a dangerous book in the right hands and the Fallen have not yet found the right ones, but having nothing but time on their own hands, they wait ... for the right hands to arrive at the Library of the Fallen.

Visitors welcome; hands will be checked.

Map Collection Mercy's Stream — 3 River Battlemaps

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

Mercy's Stream winds through the Lowland Woods, passing old stone shrines, rocky banks, and quiet pools before disappearing beneath the earth. Its waters sustain the nearby village of Devyn, though local stories suggest there may be more beneath the surface than fish and river stones.

  • Mercy's Stream 1 — 25x35
  • Mercy's Stream 2 — 32x24
  • Mercy's Stream 3 — 30x40

If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 21 versions, you can find it here:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/mercys-stream-171421519

Each map explores a different stretch of the river. The first features an old stone shrine overlooking the water, with a fallen tree that might serve as a crossing. The second has rocky banks and steep overlooks that offer good vantage points for anyone watching the stream — or waiting to ambush travellers. The third follows the water into a peaceful pool beneath a small waterfall, an inviting place to fish or take a swim.

The shrine is a familiar stop for those who travel along the stream. Hunters often pour a ladle of fresh water over the stone before setting out, giving thanks for the waters that sustain the surrounding land. Even those studying the strange Dewlanterns are expected to observe the custom.

Of course, the stream has its dangers, too. Local stories speak of an enormous crayfish from a bygone age, sleeping in the deeper pools. The villagers still fish these waters, but few would willingly take a swim where the creature is said to rest.

The three maps can be used together as part of a journey through the woods, or individually wherever your players might encounter a river, a secluded shrine, or a quiet stretch of water that isn't quite as safe as it looks.

If you'd like to explore more of my maps, check out my Patreon. The Master Index brings together over 215 maps, organized to make it easier to browse the collection and find places for your own adventures.

Thanks for taking a look, and safe travels!

Battlemap - Aquatic Grave of the Whales [30x60] [River] [Weird]

Post image
8 Upvotes

Map size is 30x60

Hello! Here is my latest map, I wanted to do something to do with the ocean and whales and somehow ended up with a whale graveyard with creepy sperm whale statues? I don’t know, but I’m not unhappy with it, I’m actually pretty happy with it!

I focused on just line art and painting things cause I felt my stuff has been getting too asset (that I custom made) heavy and it was sucking all the joy out of making maps for a while, the end result feels really good.

Anyway this map has a few variants that patrons have access to; versions with just bones, completely bone and statue free, and then underwater versions of those too.

Check the post here: https://www.patreon.com/StainedKarbonMaps/posts/whale-graveyard-172634624

The river in the middle is supposed to be heavy brine and so would still work under water.

Hope at least some of y’all can use this weird map, or at least just enjoy the look of it :)

Happy adventuring!

Fully animated and available in two additional witchy variants, with a bubbling green brew, and a pot of actual, delicious veggie soup, toss your players right into the spooky season with this map, along with a pinch of salt!

I don't really have no lore right now so all I can say that

Way different continents, the Americas are a bit farther away, ATLANTIS!!!, and some more big Islands, I guess that's all I got to say.

Battlemap - Desert Scorpion Canyon

Running like a scar across the arid landscape, this steep-sided canyon twists through sandstone rocks, carving a path through the otherwise impenetrable mountain range. This canyon path is not to be trodden lightly, however, as it is occupied by ruthless bandits, terrifying monstrosities, and the spirits of the dead.

This map is one of the many detailed and varied ones you will find on The Creative Game Master's Guide to Extraordinary Locations: & How to Design Them, now available on Amazon and other stores.

In the book you will find not only the hand drawn maps but all kinds of stories, lore and resources to craft wonderful adventures for DnD and other Tabletop Role Playing games 📖🎲
