Apr 07, 2010 11:17:56 Hey, I made some printable D&D battle maps. I made these with Photoshop.

Feel free to print these up and use them in your game. Any feedback is welcome.

Apr 12, 2010 23:41:15 I use photoshop, doesn't take long once you feel comfortable with the program (around 10-15 minutes per battle map). This one features a fight on top of besieged battlements with lots of push/pull/slide effects on the side of the enemies and environmental hazards in the form of catapult hits by the besiegers:

This one is a tomb with a sarcophagus in the center and some difficult terrain (rubble) as well as some pitfalls in the floor (the grey/foggy areas).

The last one's a dig site with some lava pits, pillars for cover and a magic orb which has to be deactivated by the characters infight.

If you need any specific battle maps, feel free to ask, I can make one and upload it here. Just be very specific about the details you want included.

Apr 13, 2010 13:10:08 Thanks a lot! The textures are all free (there's tons available on the net).

Here's the one requested by Sharki. Is that what you wanted?

Apr 13, 2010 23:00:23 I may have posted these in another thread at some point, but:

Bandit/Slaver camp - with a cage for captives/slaves (sorry, I got lazy with the fireplace).

Primitive Jungle Village - complete with cannibal boiling pot

Random jungle pathway

I'd post with thumbnails but this forum doesn't seem to play nice with the photobucket code and I can't be bothered html'ing it up.

those are some nice maps RonGermany, where do you source the stone textures from? I've been trying to photoshop up my own but they aren't looking all that nice.
