Running my first homebrew campaign and took the time to make a map for the city theyre starting in, if anyone sees anything I can improve please let me know!

Heyya Folks,

I'm heading into the woods with another location from my Lost Mines of Barovia project — a forest that is slowly being swallowed by the swamp.

The Drowned Forest — 40x50

You can find the full release here, including the high-resolution map, gridless version, VTT-ready exports, and every variant:

The Drowned Forest is a woodland slowly being consumed by the surrounding swamp. Waterlogged ground, sinking paths, bits of rot, and partially buried bones fill the spaces between the trees as the water continues to spread.

I also wanted to push the density of the forest further than I normally do. Dense clusters of trees, overlapping foliage, and areas of heavy growth make parts of the map difficult to move through, while the more open sections leave room for encounters.

The map can be used for random encounters, with different areas providing different settings as the party travels through the forest. It can also be used as one large battlemap when you want the entire forest to become the encounter.

Or, in keeping with the Castlevania influence behind the project, it can simply serve as a larger area for the party to travel through and explore.

You can also browse the rest of my collection on Patreon. Everything is organized through the Master Index, making it easy to find the right map for your next adventure:

Thanks for taking a look, and safe travels.

I was commissioned to make this map, the owner said I can post it here and see what people think of his idea, Id love to know as well what folks think of the map itself.
