Map Resources

Anyone have any excellent map resources?

A good map is all I need to run an adventure, more often than not. A well-done map brings enough ideas with it that you don't need detailed stats half the time as long as you have a monster manual nearby.

Because of this, I've been sharing my maps in the Art forum here:

HellHound's Maps - Underdark and Beyond (13 Maps)

I'm wondering if anyone has any other map suggestions? I occasionally go through my Dungeon back-issues for the maps of mystery, and I've used a lot of other maps from Dungeon in other campaigns with no tie-in to the original adventure they were published with. I've also used some other maps posted to the art forum.

I like to use Google for that kind of thing. I have fuond several really nice and free random map generators. You might look at one of those.

The problem with random maps is they are VERY rarely evocative enough to give you ideas of what to run in said map.

That's why I love digging up cool D&D dungeon maps. The good ones are cool enough that you can fake an adventure just by looking at the map.

Go to Enworld Download, then go under general resources. Get the map of the week archive, it has 100 maps and they are all really good.

Yep, I've got a bunch of Phineous' maps, and used a couple in games to date. (His second map-a-week thread I've even posted to!) There was also another thread with someone asking if people like hand-drawn maps better than computer-drawn, and he included some BRILLIANT maps, one of a fungus cavern that was the base of operations for our party for three game sessions.

A couple of my favs (besides Hellhound's excellent map thread).

Dundjinni forums. Lots of great maps by the community, but they are BIG and slow to load.

Dungeons Unlimited
