Lord Entrail's Maps

[Trenloe]

Updated with the wall mask. Well worth the time to learn!

Yeah, I remember going through the SS4 tutorial and thinking "Huh? What's all this? Seems a bit of a faff... Oooooohhhhh! That's why!" I wish I'd known about it when I did some cavern maps a few years ago. Those old ones just look flat by comparison.

Here's another map, what I created as I went through the Dungeon tutorial in the Tome of Ultimate Mapping. These use DD3 and the jpgs are at 8 px/ft (i.e. 40 pixel squares). The FCW file has the standard effects in it if you wish to turn those on and the lights off.

Madina Catacombs, both with "standard" CC3+ effects and then with DD3 effects from light sources

Another tutorial map. This is a cave map with a an excavated entrance into something more... Forgot to do the wall mask, so you will have to deal
4 pixels/foot (20 pixel squares).

This is the tutorial for creating an ice cave. It has lots of textures and transparencies used. It also reverses the normal process by instead of creating the corridors, you overlay the solid parts on the background.

Anyway, it's at 8 px/ft (40 pixel squares).

So this is a handout. It is actually based off a handrawn map from one of my groups going through Undermountain. I intend to place these as random treasure items/trinkets sprinkled through the dungeon. Some will be on the level they pertain to, others not.

It's still pretty high res, so you may wish to reduce the resolution before sharing it with your players.

Thanks for sharing

Here's another of the handout style maps (mistakes are intentional). Again, part of the first level of the Undermountain. Note, these are on "parchment" backgrounds I created myself. I did a quick tutorial (they are really easy to do) and posted a handful of textures if anyone wants them over on the Cartographer's Guild here.

These are not mine, but wanted to share this link for those of you who don't follow the Cartographer's Guild.

Ms. Rue is a exceptional artist who hand draws all her maps in ink. She has actually done a map on leather for Ed Greenwood She has hi-res versions on her maps in B&W that she shares on her website and it even seems you might be able to use them for "small commercial" projects, whatever that means

Here are two portions of the Undermountain I've been doing, 'Black Banner Haunt' and "The Bone Throne'. Both are at 100 pixel squares (hallways, from outer edges of the red walls, are 10 feet wide).

Oh, here's another Undermountain map I did and like;

(Sorry, no specific scale on this one, it was a screen grab! Again, walls are 10 ft wide.)
