I love making maps.

I have roughly 30 generic, multi-purpose battlegrids of various locales (dungeons, wilderness, etc.) that I have designed over the last couple of months.

Each one represents 75' by 100' of terrain and can be sized to fit an 8 1/2' by 11' sheet of paper or cardstock.

Most of these maps feature terrain elements taken directly from the DMG - things like "dense underbrush" "rubble" "massive boulders" etc.

The only problem is that the maps are not scaled for true D&D minis.

We use a variety of crafters spools of different sizes to represent PCs, NPCs and monsters. (hey, it's a cheaper alternative).

Anyway, I'm hoping to share my maps with peaople who may have use for them so if you are ineterested please contact me or post here.

Thanks.

Hi,
If you can email them to me, or email a link to them, I would like that, since I often have the PC's fighting on a minimap, though I dont have any good terrain maps, so it is allways just flat ground... Duh... :/

Ooh! Ooh! Me, me! *waves his hand and jumps up and down*

I'm assuming these are things I can print out, right? Not that it matters, because I'm looking to use them in an online D&D game, anyway. If you could give me a link, or send em on over...:

So are you saying that one piece of paper is representing 75'x100'? I am a little interested.

Those are decent sized maps. I'd be interested in checking them out.

Hmmmm . . .

At the moment I only have my "Forest" map collection in jpeg format so that is all I can send out right now.

I am working hard to try and get the others out asap.

The other map-sets currently include:

Hills & Mountains
Caves & Catacombs
Dungeons & Ruins
Urban & City
Interiors

Actually, it might be a lot easier to get a small website up so that you guys/gals can go there and get 'em rather than me sending them out individually.

Food for thought . . .

The maps are quite cool and nicely generic. I really like the stream and trail ones, which I am sure I have seen 20 times each in various modules.

I have a question on the ones with trees now though, would the dark green areas be heavy leaf cover (which is what I assume) or is that supposed to be dense underbrush?

Wow, that sounds awsome, I too am troubled with flat plain maps and I would love it if you could send it to me. The website sounds like a good idea, too bad I don't have webspace =/.

I can always use more maps: arrowhen@yahoo.com.

Also, I've got some web space I could use to host them for you, if you want. I could post the link in this thread and save you the trouble of emailing them over and over.

Could you send them to me?
