[TheDelphian]

Just waiting on that corner piece.

Finally running some 5th edition so I can use some of your dungeons now.

 

[Turgenev]

Just waiting on that corner piece.

The top right or the bottom left? That's the likely order I will end up doing them in.

Cheers,

That one, Top right.

That fills it out enough to start building on some ideas.

This popped up in my memories on Facebook so I thought I would share it here (it is originally from Dec 9 2016). This map was inspired by the ancient Greek city of Olynthos. Click to enlarge.



Map Details:

• This map shows a series of ancient (Bronze Age?) city blocks. These blocks could be used separately or together as a whole. Either way, they represent a section of a larger city.
• Each square represents 10' but a DM could easily run the map with each square equalling 5'.
• Block A: Area 25 has a tapestry.
• Block B: Area 14 has a statue and a tapestry.
• Block C: Area 12 is an open area with pillars and a roof. Area 16 has a tapestry.
• Block D: Areas 1 a) and 26 have outdoor statues. I pictured area 10 a) to e) as some kind of open market. Area 21 b) has a secret trap door in the floor.
• Block E: Area 8 has a statue. Area 20 has a tapestry.

Cheers,
Tim

Another old school blue map. Who recognizes this map? I was wondering what it would look like in blue so I recreated it. Click to enlarge.

So many memories of this map and the limed-over skeleton of the abbot!

I like the metal gangway, that's cool...

 

[uzirath]

I agree! I spent more time than usual staring at this map, imagining possibilities. I often wish to capture the vertical dimension more effectively in my layouts.

One trick I've done in the past is to add shading to the lower level to help it stand out from the upper level. One downside to this is the shading could be mistaken as water.

Here's an example (this map is actually from 2009). Click to enlarge.

Yeah, when I looked at Friday's map at first I thought it was water, but it didn't make sense. So I read the features list and was like "metal gangway?!? Yesss!"
