Are there any communities for mapmaking which aren't just advertisements for patreon?

Hi!

Sorry if this question doesn't belong here but I feel like every community nowadays is just a giant advertisement for people's patreon and honestly it's really frustrating as I join these communities more for discussion than just an adboard. I don't want to join discussion under these types of posts as I just feel I'm being used to drive the free advertisement.

Anyway does anyone know any communities that ban patreon or similar advertisements? Feel free to delete my thread if it doesn't belong here, thank you!

The Lowland Woods — 3 Wilderness Battlemaps

Heyya Folks,

The Lowland Woods stretch beneath the nearby highlands, with old trees, muddy trails, and rugged cliffs scattered throughout. It's a quiet corner of the wilderness, though the locals have a few stories about what lives among the trees.

The Lowland Woods — 3 Maps

  • Lowland Woods 1 — 20x24
  • Lowland Woods 2 — 28x28
  • Lowland Woods 3 — 34x34

If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 24 variants, you can find it here:

The three maps explore different parts of the woods: an old wooden bridge crossing a muddy ravine, a rugged cliffside hidden among the trees, and a wider stretch of forest where the trees and undergrowth break up the terrain.

Hunters from the nearby village tell stories of enormous cats stalking through the woods, and of a moss-ridden troll that may be more than just a local legend. Stranger still are the Dewlanterns — hundreds of teal-glowing fireflies said to appear in the final hours before nightfall, transforming the forest into a sea of light.

Each map can be used on its own, whether your players are travelling through unfamiliar woodland, investigating local rumours, or simply finding themselves somewhere they didn't expect to be.

If you'd like to explore more of my maps, check out my Patreon. The Master Index brings together over 215 maps, organised to make it easier to browse the collection and find places for your own adventures.

Spent around 31 hours working on this map, and now kinda stuck on what to actually put in it. Got the layout figured out, just need some inspiration for filling it out. What would you add? Monsters, traps, encounters, interesting locations, whatever comes to mind.

Was working on a map of the Womb of the One, one of the weirder places in our setting. It's basically a Farrealm nightmare demiplane, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of stuff to fill it with. I've got the map, but now I need some ideas for what the hell actually lives in there.

What monsters would you throw at a party exploring a place like this? Aberrations are an obvious choice, but I'm also open to stranger stuff, mutated creatures, things that shouldn't exist, or even monsters that seem relatively normal until the players realize something is seriously wrong with them.

I'm also looking for ideas for traps and environmental hazards. Not just the usual pressure plates and falling rocks, but things that mess with the players in unexpected ways. Maybe the walls are alive, the rooms change when nobody's looking, or the place itself reacts to the party being there.

Would you go for the whole fleshy, organic dungeon aesthetic, with pulsating walls and tunnels that look like veins, or take it in a more surreal direction where reality just stops making sense? A mix of both could be fun too.

I'd love to hear what you'd add to the map. Weird encounters, nasty hazards, creepy rooms, completely unhinged monster ideas — anything goes. What would make this place memorable at your table?

 

If you liked it and if you want to support the project, please have a look around! We've put a lot into this one, and I'm confident you'll get your money's worth. Thank you! :)
