Ninprist Canyon - 106x81
🕑 Added 2020-03-31 00:51:32 +0000 UTCHi everyone. ummm, so it's not the sawmill this week! ... Hopefully next week for that ;-)
It's not even in Trinpari... I needed a bit of a change and wanted to play with a different style... It's a bit of an experiment, and since it is also the 5th Tuesday in March, I am making this an 'unfunded' free map for Patrons
There is a 300dpi 11x8.5 print version for everyone (including a free file attached to this post). Also, for all Patrons, an expanded battlemap-scale version that is 106x81 squares divided into 22 tiles. Only at vtt res though, (140pix per square and 72dpi) because I can't really blow it up too much more without loosing line sharpness. There are also 3 overlay files that fit over the caverns that don't have direct access to the outside, so you can cover them up until they are 'discovered' if you want to. Un-gridded day versions only.
I would really love your ideas and opinions about it... not so much the style, I am pretty happy with that... but more the conversion to battle map scale that I made: is it useful? usable? interesting? would you potentially like to see more like this in the future?
Random Plot hook ideas:
- If you ask around, there is a rumor that there are 9 tombs somewhere in the canyon... each occupied by a high priest from a forgotten religious research facility... it is possible that they are not even truly dead, but perhaps inflicted by some curse or inherited affliction from experiments that went wrong...
- The northern caverns used to be a farm for interesting plants (fungi?) that grow in the dark... Possibly associated with previously mentioned religious order. The plants might still be there, but you have to make it through to the last cavern, the one with a statue in it, to discover how to see them.
Here is a slightly closer look at a part of it:
A little bit of history... I first started to draw fantasy maps in 2014 and then I got distracted by a other things, including full time job and so I stopped drawing maps. I only drew a few at any rate. This was one of them and this is what it looked like. It's basic, but not too bad I guess. I love the re-draw though, because it shows me how much I have improved over the last year.
Whatever you are up to, hope its a fulfilling week for you. Happy Adventuring
