Hey everyone!

I’ve just released my newest battle map: The Whispering Depths.

Hidden beneath an old tower lies a forgotten underground complex that slowly gives way to a vast natural cavern. Ancient ruins, glowing fungi, waterfalls, underground streams, mysterious pools, and plenty of room for exploration or a memorable boss fight. I had a lot of fun building this one, especially the flowing water and cave atmosphere.

The images here are usable versions with animated GIFs and static maps featuring my logo

If you'd like the full-quality versions, you can grab them here:

Hey everyone,

I’ve just finished my latest map: Lakewatch Tower.

This map was inspired by a real-world ruined tower standing on a small island, and I wanted to capture that feeling of a forgotten place that has been slowly reclaimed by nature and water. The set includes the island exterior, the ruined tower itself, interior exploration areas, day and night variants, and animated elements to bring the location to life.

The images posted here are usable versions of animated GIF previews, so you can get a feel for how the map looks in motion.

You can find the full-quality versions here
And if you're looking for more battle maps, including animated maps, Foundry-ready content, and maps available in Ultra HD 8K for VTTs, TVs, and projectors, you can find them here: https://dranskybattlemaps.com/animated-battle-maps/browse-content/

One question for fellow DMs: when your players discover an isolated tower on a tiny island, do they immediately investigate it... or spend the next hour convinced it's a trap?

Cheers!

Hey everyone,

Digging through some of my older maps, I thought I'd share Elfsong Tavern from Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus.

This one recreates the iconic tavern from the official campaign and includes multiple floors, day/night versions, and plenty of space for roleplay, investigations, secret meetings, bar fights, and all the chaos that usually follows a party entering a tavern.

The images here are usable preview versions with logo, along with animated GIF previews. While this map is one of my older creations, I still think it holds up really well for running the opening chapters of the campaign.

Since this is a recreation of an official adventure location, you can grab the full-quality version completely FREE here: Descent into Avernus Chapter I

And if you're looking for more battle maps, including animated maps, Foundry-ready content, and some maps available in Ultra HD 8K for VTTs, TVs, and projectors, you can find them here: https://dranskybattlemaps.com

How long did your players stay in Elfsong Tavern before everything went completely off the rails?

Cheers!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my latest battle map: Arcane Forge. (And here is the trailer!)

Honestly, when I started building this one, I wasn't even entirely sure what it was. A forgotten machine? A divine forge? An ancient artifact hidden between dimensions? A place where legendary weapons are created? A portal engine? The answer is YES.

The map comes in two versions:

• Active - glowing with arcane energy, runes spinning, power flowing through the structure.
• Dormant - silent, abandoned, and waiting for someone foolish enough to wake it up.

I designed it as a location for those truly epic encounters: final boss battles, reality-bending rituals, artifact crafting, ancient civilizations, cosmic entities, or whatever crazy idea your players accidentally unleash.

The images here are usable preview versions with logo, along with animated GIF previews.

Content Name: Silent Sentinels Falls - Animated Battlemaps Foundry Module

Content Type: [Battlemap, Module]

System: [System Agnostic]

Description:

I originally just wanted to push the new water system in Unreal Engine 5 a bit further (yeah… FluidFlux keeps pulling me back in 😄), and thought: “okay, let’s try a waterfall.”
And somehow… it turned into one of my favorite maps I’ve ever made.

This is one of the bigger ones - but what I love most is the vibe.
It really leans into that ancient, almost mythical atmosphere. Think forgotten elven or human ruins, something that wouldn’t feel out of place in Lord of the Rings.

Massive stone sentinels - maybe ancient guardians, maybe long-forgotten kings - stand watch over a narrow passage carved through the cliffs. A stone bridge runs beneath the waterfall, and you can almost feel that this place used to matter. A lot.

Content Name: Chained Celestial

Content Type: [Battlemap, Module]

System: [System Agnostic]

Description:
Hey everyone,

Here’s a look at my animated map: Chained Celestial.

The scene takes place somewhere deep in the Lower Planes - a broken celestial bound in chains, surrounded by infernal architecture and ritual structures. It’s meant to feel dark, brutal, and oppressive, perfect for hellish encounters, cult rituals, or a side-quest during a Descent into Avernus style campaign.

The images posted here are usable preview versions with logo and animated GIFs so you can see the atmosphere and motion.

Curious how you would use this location in a campaign - rescue mission, dark ritual, or something even worse?

Hi! Here’s something a little less cozy than a rural tavern.

This is my Infested Throne Hall, also known as the Beholder Hall - a corrupted underground chamber filled with strange growths, twisted organic matter, unstable magic, and a very suspicious glowing circle that definitely won’t cause any problems. Probably.

This map was built with big boss fights in mind. The central ritual circle, narrow approaches, elevation changes, dark corners, and all the weird infested details make it a perfect place for a Beholder encounter (in my campaign), aberration cult, eldritch ritual etc.

These are usable preview versions with logo, shown as animated GIFs.

Hey everyone,

Here’s my take on the Low Lantern from Descent into Avernus - the legendary ship-tavern floating in the harbor of Baldur’s Gate.

Honestly, I always loved this location. A tavern inside an old ship already sounds suspicious enough, but when you add secret meetings, shady deals, hidden cabins, drunk sailors, cultists, spies, and possible knife fights below deck… yeah, this place basically screams “D&D session.”

This set includes multiple animated decks and interior sections of the ship. Perfect for investigations, roleplay encounters, ambushes, or that moment when the party rogue says:
“I quietly sneak downstairs.”
…and the DM smiles.
