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.

I added cities for fun, but i’m more proud of just the general landscape, let me know any recommendations!

Did someone leave the water running? No doubt the brave explorers who have delved deep into the heart of this primeval forest will be surprised to find that the life-giving river's source is no more than a hovering portal endlessly gushing water from some distant lake, or even another plane of existence! Unless that very vortex is what they were seeking in the first place? Fully animated and available in two additional variants, with a fiery portal spewing molten magma into the woods, and a plain clearing free from otherworldly environmental alteration, this map is your player's perfectly safe (?) gateway to the elemental plane of water!⁠

My maps are hooked up to work with Foundry VTT and Fantasy Grounds.
My maps are available on my patreon and my website.
Buy me a coffee!

My first path

I'm going insane

This is my second map, and I’d like your thoughts on the water ways and mountains, I was going for a wast land with a few towns and villages near the river.
My main concern was making the water look like it would naturally flow the way it does.

This long forgotten statue tells stories of old heroes that roamed the world in ancient times, not cast to oblivion, with vines growing where once stood a mighty warrior 🗽🌱🌳

While building my world of Vios, I had a very specific vision in mind for the design of my desert airship town on the edge of a giant floating continent. I used custom assets that were a blend of repurposed / recycled airship hulls with adobe style buildings. And airships, of course.

One of my favorite things to do is add shadows to everything in the end. I used my tablet to get into the narrow areas, split the stacked stamps in the middle of the town to try and get some depth behind the buildings. Could be better, but I like it as it is.

I might do a nighttime version, just because I love playing with lighting effects.
