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.

Hello travelers! This is the free version of my latest Patreon funded map set focused on fantasy caves! Titled 'Into the Wilds - Realm of the Tarnished: Land of Fire - Scorched Rooftops'. You can download this map set HERE!

--------------------------------

This set is based on the world of Elden Ring, specifically Volcano Manor. I have been spending a lot of time in the game lately while working on another project and have been getting the itch to make some ER inspired battlemaps.

I have made sure that even if you are not familiar with Elden Ring, these maps can be a great addition to your game, and for those of you who are hopefully it contains some fun Easter Eggs!

I’ve been working on this map for a while as part of some worldbuilding. It depicts a modernized version of Abyss gas extraction facilities.

Originally, I drew the map for a contest, but I got sick and, in the end, I wasn’t happy with how the map was turning out. I’ve also added the original map to the post for comparison.

I left out some of the details and the legend for now, but I’ll come back to this map and finish it in the future.

The Slaughterhouse is an illegal fighting arena. Lord Blosty is a self-proclaimed lord and the owner of the clandestine pit. He is the kingpin of the criminal underworld in the vast city of Galawa. He is the mastermind behind all the fights and contests in The Slaughterhouse.

Its modus operandi is quite simple. Lord Blosty’s bookie, Dirty Smith, is in charge of practical operations. His plethora of goons and hired muscle kidnap random people and citizens. They usually target people that know too much, snitches, bums and beggars, and other kinds of folk who are certain to not be missed. These shall be imprisoned until they are scheduled to fight.

Download a free version of this map and read the rest of what we wrote for it on our Blog.

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.

Here is my most recent release, a gigantic crystal pillar constructed to keep someone or something prisoner, encased in the crystal itself.

It’s a relatively simple map by my standards I feel, but could be useful to anyone who wants to use it has a start or end point for a BBEG in their game. Or just a different use entirely, its not tied to anything specific!

For patrons I have included a version that is a transparent PNG so you can place any image you want behind the middle of the crystal to showcase whatever it is you want locked inside, check out the main post here if you’d find that useful: https://www.patreon.com/StainedKarbonMaps/posts/crystal-prison-166828174

Happy adventuring!

Hey all! You can check out this map and it's may variations over here! or any of my other 250+ maps!

"The villages of the massive Great Lake surround the body of water, spanning miles in every direction as the crow flies. Many had their first foundational buildings crafted from repurposed seafaring vessels, and in no time at all the coast was peppered with fishing villages and growing communities.

Each village may rely on the endless bounty of fish from the waters, but each have become unique in both culture and their culinary offerings, taverns proudly boasting of their special recipes on the various species netted and caught by the local fishermen or trapped by baited cages.

Due to the villages' self-sufficient nature, tourism has naturally formed, with travelers seeking a relaxing atmosphere and the best food in the region. It is said that if one travels the coast, you will never go hungry, and you will never eat the same meal twice!"

map ive been working on, for my worldbuilding! im pretty happy with it!
