The official thread.

This will be the home for my finshed products. I have another thread that I set up for practice but the map I'm doing there is taking longer than I anticipated. In the mean time I've been doing some smaller scale stuff just for the sake of having something to post.

This is the first (hopefully of many) completed maps. I still have the original works saved so I'll accept constructive feedback if there are major things that need to be changed, or tips from pros who have been doing this a while =)

The first map might look familiar to Vetern D&D fans. Its the starting inn from Baldur's Gate 1 in Candlekeep. Although its not my design originally, I chose to make it "on paper" because it translated well onto graph. Thanks to TSR for making their maps wrap up into nice little 5x5 foot squares =)

Candlekeep Inn

This map is the courthouse in Dayhaven, the main city most of my campaigns run out of. It is also the temple of St. Cuthbert, the strict deity of law and justice. The spiral staircase in the northern-most room leads to the "Cellar of the Forgotten"; a multi-level prison, the deepest of which hold more than just murderers and heretics.

This one's completely my own design. I didn't include the room descriptions (they're just numbered for my own use IRL) but if anyones interested, I can post the map key as well.

Temple of St. Cuthbert and entrance to the Cellar of the Forgotten

My favorite part was doing the carpet in the main hall which actually has the holy symbol of St. Cuthbert on it!

Jul 14, 2010 6:55:52 Just to generate a little interest in my thread, I'll be taking on one map request, and possibly more if it doesnt take a million years.

Any requests? Prefferably a dungeon, city building, or area map (wilderness and such).

Thronehold Castle from Eberron? If it hasn't been done already, anyway.

I like the picture of the Temple btw, looks nice and useable.
