P.S: I redesigned the website! I think it looks better now, but you be the judge.
A traditional Japanese shinto shrine as a D&D map, with some liberties taken! This shrine (based loosely on a shrine of similar name) boasts an ample yard, empty donation box, and Moriya branch shrine. A pond in the backyard provides a nice place to keep your turtles during summer; the backwoods route provides an easy escape route for assailants. Other features include a prosperous vegetable garden to subsidize your rock-bottom income and a storage shed to keep your giant spiders, secret plot devices, and other unwanted surprises.
This is a remaster of an old favorite of my Miscellanea Maps works. I went and added two brand-new variants to the pack while I was working on it; the portal and the red mists.
Thoughts
It is in theory errant to have a shrine’s maintainers sleeping in the same building where the god is housed, but this shrine has, uhm, a history of being impoverished. Who can afford a second structure just for housing? Besides, they used to do it in the real old days.
How would you like to trap a dreaming demon god in a heavenly sword, kept safe by an order of shrine guardians? I’m just saying: Here’s the shrine.
I watched the entirety of Thunderbolt Fantasy recently, and you should too.
Contents
Hakurei Shrine: A good place to keep aloof priests errant maidens, and imprisoned sword-gods.
Autumn: Watch the leaves fall while sipping tea on the veranda.
Winter: Wonderful weather to have to fight off a legion of ice fairies hell-bent on extinguishing your stove.
Spring: Cherry blossms coat the blood-stained battlefield around you…
Portal: A thundrous crackle brings the gateway to the spirits’ prison to bear, and now every youkai captured within is spilling out like a cash-grab Ghostbusters sequel!
Divine Presence: A god has answered your prayers. Is it the right god?
Abandoned Shrine: This is what happens when you don’t donate enough. What’s lurking inside that building? Who would willingly come here?
Red Mists: This seems like a dangerous incident to be part of. Maybe this whole shrine is just a vision marred by horrors. Maybe it’s all too real.
Canopy Overlays: Built for VTT canopy usage!
Day/Night/Rain Variants: Wherever applicable!
All maps are provided with & without square grids in WEBP format. (Please note that while WEBP is compatible with all major VTTs, it may not be previewable in old Windows 10 photo viewers.)
In addition, a Foundry module with a compendium of pre-built scenes for major variants is provided!
Furthermore, full-color PDF files in both single-page and divided poster formats are provided for printing!
The divided poster PDFs are cut into US Letter-size pages; they have guidelines, sheet numbering, & a convenient sheet for sticking them together after you’ve printed them out, and have margins so that you don’t have to be pixel-perfect when cutting with your scissors.
The single-sheet PDFs are suitable for making high-quality prints via print shops & on large-scale printers.
