Comes with three cavern maps (with LoS).

There are several underground maps in the FG Battle Maps pack that comes with the licence. If you haven't already, check those out before buying new ones.

Here's a random one from Dungeondraft with LOS. This is for personal use only as the assets are owned by Dungeondraft.

Edit: Note the grid is 72. If that makes the passages too narrow then set the grid to 36 to double the size of the passages.

I agree with this greatly. I myself sought out maps or even information (like tables, additional magic items) and forgot all the "stuff" i ALREADY have/own on my fg account. I have so much content / resources to utilize its fun figuring out how to use it in games.

So thats my point before you waste stress time or money check through all you Dmsguild and fg store purchases first, particularly if you have made several purchases over your time with fg.

Its easy to forget what we have.

Nice Map!
One question tho. In today's world of FGU, is there a reason to generate a map with a prebuilt grid?

Only for convenience, I usually use that grid for 10' squares, so I set the FG grid to half the size. For large maps like this, I have found having a 10' grid makes it easier to eyeball ranges, but there no real reason other than that. Since I usually leave a map grid on it didn't occur to me to remove it. This only took a few seconds to make and then another few seconds to run the script. It took longer to load FGU and check the LOS looked OK.

Yes. For those of us who like the grid to be on the floor/ground only, i.e., under the walls, furniture, etc. Until FG supports that, I'll likely continue to make my maps in something else unless I need to throw together something quickly.

Here is a gridless version. Note the base square size is 72 pixels. Map is for personal use only, made with Dungeondraft assets.

Thank you for your time, and thakk you for the map!

Now, might I ask for direction to the nearest, most succinct, tutorial that tells me what to do with that .xml file?

Just put it in the same directory as the jpg. FGU will read it (providing they have identical names) when you use the jpg to make an image in FG to create the LOS.

Updating this thread...

Here are two sites that you can use to randomly generate Dungeon and Cave maps. They both create UVTT files that import perfectly into FGU with the LOS.

This has been a huge timesaver for pick up games and side adventures.

I have no affiliation with either, just passing this on. If you can, try to support their work with a donation.

I've used gozzys too, and do recommend it as well. These days I mostly used the paid Dungeondraft app, though, which can also generate random dungeons and caves.

Edit: wow this is an old thread and things are much better these days with the direct import of the generic VTT format files where you don't need an image anymore.

I'll check out Dungeondraft. I've seen it mentioned, but have not used it yet. Thanks!
