Terrainmonkey Map showcase and Request Thread

[terrainmonkey]

After seeing a lot of you folks give up free maps and resources here, i figured i would get in on the action and test my creativity. I also think i will open this up for requests. I know a lot of you out there would like to dm but feel your map making skills are not that great. worry not. I am an experienced mapper, and some of the things below will show that. I now have a lot of time on my hands and i need practice for my own campaign. So, let me know what you would like to see. I do everything from multi level dungeons to cities and everything in between. Now, here are some rules. First: No huge cities. i like doing these for myself, but if i made them for folks here, the quality would suck. since i don't like campaign cartographer, i tend to make my cities in corel draw, because i like that look better.
Second: If i create anything for you, please give me credit. also, tell me what your other players thought about it. I love hearing feedback, good or bad, so if you have a thought, then by all means share. Im still working on the digitizing of the mapping progress, so any constructive critism would be great.
anyway, take a look

there's also a couple of JPeg files listed and these are maps from corel draw. the dungeon one is fun because it reminds me of those old blue dungeons from 1st ed modules. I like the city because there is so much you can do with cities. This one took me about 14 hours straight through.

anyway, let me know what you think, and if you have any requests, le tme know.

here's another basic dungeon. i could do more, but it was done in a half hour. kind of an experiment in templating.

Good use of red in the "basic dungeon". I'd be interested to see a manor - big house, stables, fields, etc.

 

[terrainmonkey]

okay, started working on it tonight. got a few ideas i'm sketching

 

[terrainmonkey]

okay, here's a manor house, though it is a work in progress. The grounds of Cherrystone Manor are in the process of being designed and i should have those up in a few days. Comments are welcome. There is also a cavern wine cellar system under the manor, with a secret way to escape. that is still in the process as well.

here's a PDF of the Trader outpost on the map of the Palemans woods. I'm also going to put on a set of caves for the fire scar hills, and i'm currently working on the elven town of deepwood. Here is the pic of the Paleman's wood.

next up after the fire scar caves, deepwood village, then the Hills of Mourn, then the Dragon Heights, the home of a particularly nasty Mature adult green dragon Druid named Ast'rax'noth. I'm also working on her lair, which is currently two levels deep.

here's an updated necromancer dungeon. comments are always welcome here.

The manor is nicely done! I like the fact that it's a fortified house, and there are guard posts. Two comments.

1. Is there a rear exit? Even medieval manors usually had a second exit of some kind in case of a fire.

2. Is there a dining room? Does the Main Hall encompass that? (I'm thinking it does.)

Like the wine cellar idea too! Thanks.

Hello--

yes, the main hall acts as a dining room for the main residents of the manor. the door in the back is off of the servants kitchen in the rear of the place. i'm still working on a few things so i'll post an update here today or tomorrow. thanks for the feedback!

It takes a village

so here is a small village, town, thorp, etc. This is a request by someone on another thread so i figured what the heck. only took me about an hour to do. basic village with woods, mountains, hills, etc. plenty of opportunities to adventure here.

tell me what you think
i'm sure the scale is off a little bit, and since there is no grid or something, i'm not sure but it should be okay just for a black and white diagram.
