Random Encounters: Into the City!
🕑 Added 2025-03-13 17:36:46 +0000 UTCGreetings, adventurers!
This week, we’re taking our Random Encounters into the urban jungle, where danger lurks around every corner! Whether your players are dodging guards, dealing with shady merchants, or navigating the city's underbelly, these drop-in maps will keep your session running smoothly.

Make sure to join our Discord Community for more maps and TTRPG content!
Here’s what we’ve crafted for you:
🏃 Rooftop Chase – A fast-paced, vertical battlefield! Leap between buildings, dash across tightropes, and use the city's skyline to your advantage.
🏚 City Slums – A grimy, tangled district where alleys twist and a foul stream cuts through the heart of poverty. Perfect for clandestine meetings—or desperate fights.
🛍 Merchant’s Row – A bustling, narrow street packed with vendors and shoppers. A prime spot for pickpockets, backroom deals, and unexpected chaos.
🌊 City Canals – Inspired by Venice, this map is filled with narrow waterways, arched bridges, and shadowy corners. Are your players navigating gondolas or avoiding unseen threats below the surface?
And for our $3+ patrons, we’ve created multiple biome and situational variants, bringing the total to 50 maps to fit any setting, from bustling trade hubs to decrepit, crime-ridden quarters.

Patrician's Plaza looks a lot like what I want, these are battlemaps meant for a civil war happening in a very wealthy city so the stone roads and structures are pretty much standard for that city. The "Massacre" variants are top tier for that scenario too, if you have any others that fit the bill I'd love to give them a download.

thanks :) also I left a comment on one of your other maps, I think it was either dwarven village or dwarven town or something that advertises variations for master cartographer subscribers but it's not on the master cartographer page. Could you fix that please because I really would like that map

if you are looking for more upmarket city battlemaps we do have a few. Patricians Plaza springs to mind. I'll have a think and come back with more shortly!

Do you have any city maps that use cobbled or stone streets instead of the dirt ones?
George Mason
I would be happy to do so, theme permitting :)

Would love to see this Expanded out. Whether that's a full city map or more of these smaller slices both work for me.
