Map List for 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide Revealed

Premium TTRPG accessory maker Beadle & Grimm's has provided new details about the maps found in the upcoming Dungeon Master's Guide. Today, Beadle and Grimm's announced a new premium map collection featuring the maps found in the upcoming Dungeon Master's Guide. This set will contain 30 battle maps, all of which are "full-color realizations" of the black and white maps found in the appendix of the upcoming Core Rulebook. Additionally, Beadle and Grimm's map collection will include 2 canvas maps showing the City of Greyhawk and Eastern Oerik, along with a DM screen made specifically for the Greyhawk setting.

Wizards previously stated that the new Dungeon Master's Guide would include a Greyhawk setting guide and maps, but the 30 battle maps are new information and are assumably tied to the various mini-adventures also found in the new rulebook. The new Dungeon Master's Guide will also include revamped magic items, new rules for Bastions, and a Lore Glossary. The book will be released in November.

(LOS ANGELES, CA – September 26, 2024)

– Beadle and Grimm’s, a champion of the tabletop roleplaying game experience, announced today the unveiling of a premium map collection featuring the maps found in the appendix of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS’ highly anticipated new Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Featuring a box that opens book style, with a magnetic closing panel, this collection includes:

• 30 battle maps: B&G has commissioned artists to create full-color realizations of the black and white maps provided in the appendix of the 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide. Epic battles deserve epic battle maps, and these large, sturdy maps are gridded for mini use.

• 2 canvas area maps: These maps of the City of Greyhawk and Eastern Oerik are 21x30” and printed on durable canvas.

• DM screen: Greyhawk is a rich and intricate setting filled with power struggles and ever-shifting loyalties. This unique DM screen immerses the players into that world with epic art on the front while providing DM’s at-a-glance reference tables on the back. DM’s will be able to quickly rattle off Greyhawk details like the gods of the realm, the calendar, geography, and important names without missing a beat.

The Premium Map Collection can be pre-ordered at a discounted price for $144 until Sunday, October 6th, 2024. After the preorder sale period, the box will retail for $160.

“These 30 battle maps can be used and reused in virtually any classic D&D setting. However, the world of Greyhawk is featured in the highly awaited 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide and if you’re planning to run a campaign set that world, or are simply a fan of that setting, then you’ll love the canvas maps and DM Screen,” said Jon Ciccolini, Beadle & Grimm’s lead on the product.

anyone pick these up to share their opinion? I got a 10% off discount for a previous order as well as a 10% off the MSRP already so I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on it.

I bought them and am happy with the set. The cost per maps is reasonable. I just used the digital version of the ruined keep map in my game today.

If you own the DMG on D&D Beyond, you can see the Beadle & Grimm versions in the Maps app.

I have two complaints, and they are very minor:

• The colors for Greyhawk maps are muted compared to the ones from the DMG, but I really like that the material has a nice texture and feels durable.
• Once you unpack the maps, the box isn't quite deep enough to hold all of the maps and the cloth ones. I keep the cloth ones separate, and I'm pretty sure that if you kept the internal packaging you could fit everything.

Otherwise, I love it. The box is nice and durable. The maps themselves are colorful, fun to look at, and easy to use in play. The materials are high quality, and I'm confident that they'll hold up in travel, etc. I've added a few to my con kit for Gamehole Con next week. This was a high end purchase that IMO more than lived up to the price.

Thanks Mike, as I didn’t know about the color version of the maps on the dnd beyond maps site!
