Steamy Japanese Bathhouse [16x43]
🕑 Added 2019-07-29 16:51:00 +0000 UTCいらっしゃいませ!
We happen to be living in Japan right now so this was a particularly interesting map for us to make. There's a lot of misconceptions about what warms the onsen baths here. People like to believe that they're hot due to geothermal heat but really it's all about those fire bellied salamanders, the water hits them and beautiful hot steamy water comes pouring off. The owners of this particular onsen have found a relatively tame one to run the baths for them. Although if they don't continually feed it spicy manju buns it'll burn the whole bathhouse to the ground. You've been warned...

Here are this week's variations. We also included a standard bathhouse in case that fits your campaign better. For the herbal baths version we had the idea that different baths would bestow upon your character different effects.

$10 reward link post doesn't download anything.

Is there, by any chance, a version of either the Fireflies or Magic Glow versions that include the salamander at the top?
Iain Haukka
Holy crap. I think this just tipped me over the edge. Definitely becoming a Master Cartographer subscriber after coming across this one!

So glad to hear the maps aren't just being used as places to kill monsters. Glad your party used it as a place to recuperate. :)

I just used this as an extra-planar space ala a "Marvelous Mansion" for my players to rest in, and it was a lovely peaceful place for them to steel themselves for the BBEG fight after a long dank dungeon crawl
Cze and Peku
That's exactly what I had in my mind when I made the massacre version. Something between Yakuza and Kill Bill :D

Love the kanji fire glyph in the water for some extra detail. Can definitely see a use for the massacre version where a yakuza meeting does south.
Cze and Peku
I was really hoping you'd say that! I'd love to see what you come up with.

Wow. And I mean WOW! Absolutely breathtaking work. I think I'm going to have to invent a steam salamander stat block just so I can use this in my own campaign
Max
oh wow, this is stunning!!

This definitely needs a place in my game. Salamander and all (although: does it live there, or has it invaded? hm....)
Cze and Peku
Yeah, the salamander version is definitely a bit niche for most games but hopefully there's enough other variations that everyone can find something to their tastes!

Sure it's a beautiful map, but I just don't know what I would use it for. *scrolls down* Oh my god!
