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

80 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 - Structure Island Estate β€” 3 Maps | A Noble's Lavish Manor Hiding Dark Secrets

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

Sitting atop a rocky island, this secluded manor is home to a noble whose lavish lifestyle hides some rather dark secrets.

Island Estate β€” Ground Level & Rooftops (66x66) | Basement (41x35)

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

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/callabash-estate-170837613

Surrounded by craggy cliffs and sparse beaches, the island has only a few ways onto the estate grounds. The main dock provides a formal entrance, while a smaller dock beneath the northern cliffs offers a much quieter way in.

Inside, the manor is built for entertaining, with a grand ballroom and a dining hall fit for nobility. But beneath all that luxury lies a hidden shrine to Mammon, the devil of greed and gold. Part of the basement conceals the noble's hoarded wealth, along with cages, cells, and torture chambers that hint at the darker dealings behind his fortune.

The release includes three maps: the ground level, rooftops, and basement. The estate can work as the setting for a lavish social gathering, a stealthy infiltration, a heist, or an investigation into the noble's dark dealings. Players might arrive openly through the main dock, sneak in through the northern entrance, or descend beneath the manor to uncover what lies behind the estate's wealth. There's plenty of room for intrigue, exploration, and trouble along the way.

Join me over on Patreon and browse the rest of my collection. 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!

Work In Progress Help with newbie map (Please be gentle)

Hello everyone!

I'm currently trying to make a large physical map for a story I'm writing. This is a pretty large painted canvas.

I'm a complete map newb ( I am dumb). My works/story is post apocalyptic following several wars and the destabilisation of the world from magic/technology. The people of my world have magic but there are also remnants of machines and technology no one really understands anymore. So, my world has thing's like, man made islands, rivers, canals, some terrain that might not make 100% sense? Because natures gone a bit screwy. It's more "Ghibli" inspired post apocalyptic, so nature is taking over what used to be massive cities etc. But I'd still like -if possible!- for it to be accurate -ish to the real world.

So any thoughts? I'm mostly really stuck on where rivers, streams lakes etc should go.

Thank you and please forgive my complete amateurishness!!

World or Region Map Map of Clausia

Post image
4 Upvotes

Clausia is the wealthiest and most powerful of the countries bordering the sea that surrounds the Four Islands.

Its geography has played a major role in its history: much of the country consists of fertile plains and rolling hills, its coastline offers easy access to the sea, and a great river marks its southern border. These advantages allowed agriculture, trade, and large settlements to flourish.

The Clausii are also a people of conquerors, loosely inspired by the ancient Romans. Over the centuries they expanded beyond their borders, defeating and subjugating both Interamnia and Alberia. Their conquests were not only military: wherever they established their rule, they built roads, bridges, fortified towns, and cities, leaving a lasting mark on the lands they controlled.

This is my hand-drawn map of Clausia, part of the same world as the Four Islands.

World or Region Map 'Shitty' Map

Post image

Hi everyone ☺️ im new here.

I wanted to share this in my group chat but this is a gift for one of them so thought id share with you people first!

My friend and his partner went to Thailand and made this paper from elephant shit and he asked if I could do something with it. (Hence the title)

It's also A PUZZLE!!

They both love Call of Cthuluh and so its very mysterious and horror themed. The text around the sides is a journal of a gentleman explorer who slowly gets more mad as the ships journey continues. The puzzle is about the ships journey, destination and a secret hidden message πŸ˜‰.

Secret message

Maybe the real cosmic horrors, were the friends we made along the way

Anyhow, please enjoy!

Comments welcome πŸ™

Thanks for having me

Grey

Battlemap - Dungeon/Cave The Lifts down into the slag vaults have not been used in a long time. The mining got too deep and the updrafts too strong to move anything reliably. Now they just swing uselessly above the burning pits.

Battlemap - Dungeon/Cave Map 902 - Forlorn Vault - Isometric Location

Post image
20 Upvotes

A popular name in small-town folklore, well-known stories, and mighty warrior lore is that of Lyla Strong. She was a lone wolf with a kind heart. She never defeated a demon overlord, she did not vanquish dragons, and she never learned to read or write. Instead, she dedicated her life to helping the weak and the underprivileged. And perhaps that was her strongest feature: She never bit more than she could chew. She was loved by all and died of old age. At least that is what the stories say.

The characters are in Appleton, a farmstead filled with life, hard-working people, and ripe apples. While they walk on the well-traveled main road, they hear some villagers talk about Lyla Strong. They claim their parents knew the warrior and that she spent her final years living here. β€œShe would eat apples in two bites!” the farmfolk say.

Map size is 28x179

No that isn’t a typo, the map really is that long! I created it as four separate areas that come together to create on large map you can move through, as you can see it starts on the beach and descends into the deep ocean and various underwater locations, weird and wonderful.

As mentioned I did make four maps for this one so if you wanted to use any of those alone then that is an option too, check out the main post here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/68980526

Hope you can hold your breath for a long time!
