Hi everyone!...
“The frozen forest is eerily quiet. Any sound carried for miles in the still air. You worry who will hear the sounds of your own steps.”
The early morning snow has already melted off the trees here. It is eerily quiet and you worry the Orcs you are supposed to be tracking are tracking you instead.
A decade ago, this forgotten building was a popular tavern. Hundreds came through and rested their weary legs here.
Travelling through the barren lands is treacherous. On well-prepared adventurers make it through. Do you have what it takes?
I don’t see many Sci-Fi battlemaps being posted so I thought I would help out a little bit. I have been running 2 sci-fi rpgs concurrently for 3 years and have amassed quite a few decent maps that I have made in DungeonDraft. They are nothing special, but considering how rare sci-fi maps can be, I hope someone finds them...
This single route to the center maze protects against spells such as passwall with walls filled with pressurized lava that damage cheaters and seal the wall behind it.
Past the small opening, the cave opens up into a large chamber. It’s freezing inside, but the air is still. Who or what might have made this their home for the winter?
This small settlement in the woods doesn’t look as inviting as you had hoped, and you don’t see tracks from recent activity despite the lights still being on. Worry creeps in that something awful has happened here recently.
The air is filled with the sound of falling water. Locals toss a coin in the water every time they pass over the creek. The troll that guarded the bridge was slain years ago but old habits die hard.
The carver lives here. Every night, a new jack-o’-lantern appears in front of his home. The old hermit loves visitors and always offers hot apple cider to anyone who ventures to his neck of the woods.
The Dwarven city of Tiefenwacht is connected to an extensive network of mines. After the fall of Tiefenwacht, these mines have been all but forgotten and some new inhabitants have made their home there…...
“During your long march through the forest, the path parallels a creep for some miles. The rustling of the fall trees and babbling of brook mask other sounds in the forest.”
“You come across a dried up riverbed. This area was likely beautiful once, but life is finding it hard to survive in the arid terrain. It’s been to keep moving onward.”
After booking passage, your lives are in the hands of the captain and his crew to get you safely to your destination. The shallows here have the crew on edge.
Here the water is shallow enough that you can cross with only your boots getting wet. That’s fortunate because frost-bite can be deadly out here.
This narrow path winds in between two fields of tall wheat. Be wary, anything could be hiding just beyond the path, waiting.
It’s easy to get lost in the maze of rocks and trees that make up this hallow. The nooks swallow sound, and sometimes cries for help.
As your party nears the field, fear grips your hearts and cold sweat beads. Is that a man or a monster? It’s the Scarecrow.
Pumpkins adorn the path just out of town. The villagers put them out every year as an offering to ward off evil spirits. It has worked for them every other year…
This path seems only just enough traffic to keep clear. The pristine woods and cool air fills your soul and you hold your head a little higher and give nature a little smile.
A tree fell long ago partially blocking your path along the river. Is it natural, or are brigands nearby? Keep your eyes pealed.
“Climbing the steep mountain steppes, the feels thin in your lungs. Find your way through the tall rocks to the other side.”
