Caves of Chaos Master Map

[Xorn]

I recently finished my master map for Caves of Chaos which is gigantic (6900x4500). First I exported the map out to a PNG (from Dungeon Designer 3), then saved it again as a JPG (30% quality), which brought it down to 2.2 MB. I could export a 10% JPG that still looks pretty good and get it down to 700 KB, actually. Anyway thought I'd share the map with everyone.

Here is the module I just finished for my D&D Next playtest game, with all the story entries expanded. Every entry is pinned to the master map, and contains all encounters & item parcels. Was a lot of work and I'm looking forward to stomping my players through it. :P

That... is a lot of work! Nice job :D

Nice work... is there by any chance an overland map which shows the contours and cave openings?

Holy smokes!!! Caves of Chaos... my very first experience with D&D (Basic Set) back in 1982. Very impressive work.

Cheers,

Yeah, in DD3 I have a LAND and TREES layer, but I hid them for the dungeon render. I didn't do much work on that part of it since it's pretty simple though. I'll be doing that part of it in primarily TotM mode anyway. (Theater of the Mind)

I miss dungeon-bashing. This map is incredible ! Maybe time to roll out some Savage (Worlds) Caves of Chaos...

Any chance you exported your campaign as a module that others can use?

That would be copyright infringement, so no he won't have done that.
