Hey fellow DMs in the City of Splendors!

Whether you are running the core module by the book, mixing all four seasons, or running the full Alexandrian Remix, we all know the challenge: Waterdeep: Dragon Heist requires a massive variety of specific urban encounter maps, from foggy alleyways and sewer hideouts to sprawling noble estates.

We already have a dedicated collection of maps for the campaign available for free on FreeVTTMaps.com (covering cobblestone streets, sewers, taprooms, and noble villas).

Now, we want to expand this collection based on what you are ACTUALLY prepping for your upcoming sessions.

Which of these Dragon Heist scenes should we map/remap next? (Vote or suggest below!)

Here are the next priority packs we are preparing to build — which one would help your table the most?

Greetings fellow Gamemasters and Awakened!

If you run KULT: Divinity Lost on virtual tabletops (Foundry VTT, Roll20, Owlbear Rodeo, etc.), you know the struggle: finding battlemaps that capture that distinct visceral, psychological horror, urban decay, and reality-tearing atmosphere is nearly impossible.

[GM / Resource] What grim & perilous Old World maps do you struggle to find for your WFRP sessions? (Taking requests for our free library)

Hail fellow Game Masters!

If you run Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (WFRP 4e / 2e) on virtual tabletops (Foundry VTT, Roll20, etc.), you know the struggle: 99% of fantasy maps online are too clean, colorful, and high-magic. Finding truly grim, muddy, blood-soaked, and gothic renaissance battlemaps for the Old World is a constant challenge.

I’ve been building FreeVTTMaps.com — a free, searchable resource library of lightweight WebP maps for VTTs. While we already have a collection of dark alleys, filthy sewers, and ruined crypts, I really want to expand our grimdark & Old World catalog specifically tailored to what WFRP GMs actually need for their campaigns.

I must admit i'm more a fan of WH40K but i would gladly add maps for your iconic campaigns or scenarios.

What specific Imperial & Old World locations are you struggling to find?

I’m currently taking community requests to build and add to the free library. For example, scenes like :

Fortified Coaching Inns & Roadhouses (Cobblestone courtyards, stables, fortified gates, muddy taprooms)

Muddy Forest Roads & Drakwald Ambushes (Fallen timber, fog-choked trails, Beastman herdstone clearings)

River Barges, Wharves & Canal Locks (Reik riverboats, cargo warehouses, murky dockside taverns)

Empire Slums & Tenements (Timber-framed leaning houses, narrow muddy alleys, illegal fight pits)

City Sewers & Smuggler Warrens (Flooded sluice gates, rat-infested tunnels, hidden smuggler vaults)

Gardens of Morr & Crypts (Black iron railings, weathered mausoleums, overgrown graveyards)

Secret Chaos Cult Cellars (Blood-stained altars, dark ritual basements, hidden bookcase doors)

Toll Gates & Road Warden Outposts (Fortified stone bridges, checkpoint watchtowers)

All maps on the site are :

Gridless (ideal for WFRP’s narrative zones and movement)

Lightweight WebP for fast loading on any VTT without lagging player bandwidth.

Moody, rain-drenched & low-light ambiance.

100% Free to browse and download directly with no paywalls.

Check out what we currently have here :
https://www.freevttmaps.com/

Tell me about your current campaign! Whether you are running The Enemy Within, Rough Nights & Hard Days, or your own homebrew misery in the Reikland, what scene or encounter do you need mapped next? I'll prioritize the most requested locations for upcoming releases.

[Resource] What sci-fi horror & derelict maps do you struggle to find for your Mothership sessions? (Taking requests for our free library)

Hey fellow Wardens,

If you run Mothership on virtual tabletops (Foundry VTT, Roll20, etc.), you know the pain: finding gritty, claustrophobic, industrial sci-fi horror maps is nearly impossible. Most sci-fi maps online are either shiny space-opera bridges or neon cyberpunk streets, leaving Wardens starved for true retro-tech derelicts and quarantine zones. I’ve been building FreeVTTMaps.com — a free, searchable resource library of lightweight WebP maps for VTTs.

While we already have an initial collection of industrial corridors, space station maintenance bays, and abandoned facilities, I really want to expand our sci-fi horror & derelict ship catalog specifically tailored to what Mothership Wardens actually need.

What specific locations are you planning that desperately need a map?

I’m currently taking community requests to build and add to the free library. For example, environments like :

  • Derelict Freighters & Ghost Ships (Flickering bridge consoles, dead engine rooms, depressurized airlocks)
  • Asteroid Mining Outposts & Smelting Bays (Heavy industrial drills, ore processing chutes, cramped crew bunkhouses)
  • Xenobiology & Containment Labs (Shattered cryo-stasis tubes, blood-smeared cleanrooms, quarantine airlocks)
  • Claustrophobic Maintenance Crawlspaces (Narrow service ducts, pipe networks, ceiling vents)
  • Cryo-Chambers & Medical Bays (Autopsy tables, life-support hubs, emergency trauma units)
  • Distress Relay Stations & Communications Arrays (Remote satellite interiors, radar control rooms)

All maps on the site are :

  • Gridless (perfect for Mothership's range bands and narrative zone combat).
  • Lightweight WebP for instant loading without bogging down player bandwidth.
  • Dark, low-light & emergency red-alert ambiance.
  • 100% Free to browse and download directly without an account.

Check out what we currently have here : https://www.freevttmaps.com/

Tell me about your crew's next mission! What derelict vessel, mining colony, or nightmare facility do you need mapped next? I'll prioritize the most requested ones for upcoming releases.

Watch your oxygen levels and take care!

[Ressource] Bibliothèque gratuite de 2 000+ battlemaps

Salut à tous les rôlistes et MJ !

Si vous faites jouer vos parties sur table virtuelle (VTT), vous connaissez forcément ces galères :

  • Des maps en PNG non compressées qui font exploser la mémoire et ramer le navigateur de vos joueurs.
  • Des temps de chargement interminables lors du changement de scène à cause de la bande passante.
  • Difficulté à trouver les battlemaps qui vous intéresse ne serait ce que pour l'immersion.
  • Les limites d'espace de stockage qui se saturent à toute vitesse.

Pour régler tout ça, j’ai créé FreeVTTMaps.com — une bibliothèque 100% gratuite et avec moteur de recherche regroupant plus de 2 000 battlemaps spécialement optimisées pour la fluidité et les performances sur table virtuelle.

Caractéristiques Techniques & Fonctionnalités :

  • Optimisation WebP (Chargement ultra-rapide & Légèreté) : Chaque map est compressée en haute définition pour réduire le poids des fichiers au minimum (économise votre stockage et préserve la bande passante) tout en conservant des textures nettes.
  • Alignement de grille standardisé : Dimensions en cases carrées standards pour un calage automatique et sans décalage de pixels.
  • 2 000+ Maps à travers plus de 20 Biomes : Donjons profonds, Forêts denses, Tavernes, Cryptes oubliées, Égouts, Cols de montagne, et univers Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk.
  • Sans Compte / Sans Paywall : Téléchargement direct sans inscription obligatoire !
  • Téléchargement des Campagnes & Chapitres en .ZIP en 1 clic (Patreon) : Pour les MJ qui mènent de longues campagnes et veulent récupérer des modules entiers d'un coup, des archives .ZIP groupées sont disponibles pour nous soutenir.

Demandes Communautaires & Votes :

Le but est de créer ce dont les MJ ont réellement besoin pour leurs prochaines sessions :

  • Un canal dédié aux demandes de maps sur notre Discord pour proposer vos rencontres, pièges ou décors spécifiques.
  • Un système de vote communautaire pour choisir ensemble quelles campagnes et quels lieux seront cartographiés en priorité !

En Cours de Développement :

Pour rendre la préparation encore plus rapide, je travaille actuellement sur :

  • Fichiers Universal VTT (.dd2vtt) : Pré-configurés avec les lignes de vue (murs, portes, fenêtres) et les sources de lumière dynamiques prêtes à l'emploi.
  • Ambiances Sonores Intégrées : Sons d'ambiance spatiaux pré-placés (crépitement de feu de taverne, gouttes dans les cavernes, tempêtes).
  • Module VTT Dédié : Un paquet installable pour chercher et importer vos scènes directement dans votre logiciel en un clic.

L'objectif est simple : rendre la préparation des MJ rapide, fluide et sans aucune prise de tête technique pour que vous puissiez vous concentrer sur l'histoire.

👉 Découvrir et récupérer les maps gratuitement : https://www.freevttmaps.com/

Le catalogue grandit en continu (plusieurs campagnes et dizaines de packs ajoutés chaque mois).

Si vous avez des retours ou des envies particulières de décors pour vos parties, n'hésitez pas à laisser un commentaire ci-dessous !

Bonne partie et bons lancers de dés à tous ! 🎲
