The Temple of Shadow and Light
I’ve been meaning to get around to making a map the specifically leverages Foundry VTT‘s dynamic lighting for a while now. My older maps work great with the dynamic lighting, and it’s been easy to add the walls and light to them. That said, they don’t fully make use of lighting. And so, the Temple…
On the Black Ice – Everdown Part 6
Black ice is one of the few features of the Carceri that the 5e Dungeon Master’s Guide mentions, and by far the most evocative. Every location in Everdown is an abstracted prison cell. Unlike the previous map, the Panopticon, this area is much simpler. In that area PCs had to figure out how to persuade…
The Panopticon – Everdown Part 5
The adventurers get their first glimpse of the where they really are, Carceri, prison of the Outer Planes A lonely Gynosphinx guards beings in their prison cells in the panopticon.

Of Bureaucrats and Brimstone – Everdown Part 4
Bureaucrats and brimstone await adventurers who make it this far Everdown. An officious gnome solider who guards the way out of the palace won’t allow anyone to pass during lock-down without the permission of the queen.

Everdown Part 3 – A D&D 5e Maze for Your Consideration: Darkness and No Light
This is the third part of the Everdown campaign. Particularly, on this map I wanted to work with the lighting mechanics in D&D 5e. With this in mind, I’ve created a new monster to help keep the players in the dark. Items and creatures that can be found in D&D source-books are bolded. Flavor text…
A D&D 5e Maze for Your Consideration: Part 2 – My Enemy’s Enemy’s Enemy
The last installment in this series found our heroes (or maybe villains?) climbing down either a well or pit to escape a labyrinthine temple. We resume here having reached the bottom of one of these shafts to find an underground river running through a cavern. The PCs are now level 2, and this module assumes…
A DnD Maze for Your Consideration
A friend of mine brought this great new map editor, Dungeon Scrawl to my attention. I started playing with it and knocked out a map pretty quickly. I’ve had this maze in my head for a few days, and I’d been working on it in Inkscape, but it was taking a lot of time. Dungeon…
The Secluded Farmhouse
I created this map for the beginning of a D&D 5e campaign. In the campaign, the evil player characters were tasked with the assassination of a local noble who was causing problem for their employer. The noble was visiting tenant farmers for business reasons. In light of this, the players used this opportunity to murder…
