The Lizard's Chasm (Free) (Scene Map)
🕑 Added 2020-02-07 23:00:38 +0000 UTCDeep in the dwarven mountains, a titanic earthquake has split open the earth, revealing a hand-carved bandit-fortress populated by lizardmen. The Duke Pharral has called upon any nearby adventurers to aid in removing them from his demesne...
Alternatively, on a distant rimworld, a once-vibrant base has fallen into ruin. A lucky band of scavengers have stumbled across it, but are badly unprepared for what they'll find inside...
Good morning! I'm trying something different today. I've had this idea floating around in my head of really big, low-detail maps like this - I'm calling it a reference map. In exchange for fidelity of detail and color, you get a much larger map (or maps, plural) with significantly more space and a cool aesthetic. Not an original idea by any means, but something I haven't done before.
This map is a test run of that. It's an old map of mine that I made a little over half a year ago, tweaked and re-drawn, and touched up to become something beautiful. I've added a legend and a secret room, just in case you have something you want to shove into a secret room. Finally, like the other maps I've made over this week, it's free! Patrons don't pay for this. I'm also releasing all of the files to the public, too, for anyone curious from Reddit or Instagram.
I'll probably draw more of these maps in the future, but unless I get explicit approval from patrons, I don't think they'll replace my normal maps. If I do draw a map like this to replace a normal map, it'll be a lot bigger than this one (think maybe two or three times as big, with several bonus maps included for higher-tier patrons!)
Anyways, the map itself is 37 by 46 grid tiles, if you're putting it in a VTT. Every tile is 25 pixels squared. I feel like this might be too small, so I'll make future maps like this at twice this resolution. It comes in a regular color, plus a green shade, and you also get the original raw files, so you can make it any color you want. There's gridded versions and ungridded versions, both with and without the legend. I also included the line-art. Enjoy the map!

I actually like these maps very much! I can‘t think of a reason to have too many rather large dungeons, since those need pretty long to play properly, but I like the style nonetheless.
