Ziggurat Complex [75x75] - Ancient temples and jungle villages
🕑 Added 2022-11-16 13:01:02 +0000 UTC
The dense foliage gave way so abruptly that Nathan almost overbalanced himself with the swing of his machete, and he found himself in a clearing. After days of hard trekking through the dense jungle, they had finally arrived at the complex, just as the map had said. Piercing out from the surrounding forest were countless stepped pyramids, overgrown but majestic. Ilenia lent an elbow on Nathan's shoulder and let out a whistle; "That's impressive. But which one's got the treasure in?". Nathan scanned the various temples for worn out signs of purpose. His eyes ultimately settled on the highest of those peaks. He gave Ilenia an exasperated smile; "I hope you don't mind a bit more walking, 'cause it's probably on top of the one with the most steps!".
Welcome adventurers to the Ziggurat Complex!
Deep in the jungle lies an ancient treasure, for those brave enough to seek it out. Seemingly long abandoned, the empty streets of this vast temple complex houses many shrines and symbols of heathen gods, worshiped by a people long gone. But that doesn't mean it is safe to explore! Traps hide among those chambers and streets, and such a treasure will often attract greedy individuals from far away. And if one listens over the howls and shrieks of the rainforest, one might hear the distant rhythmic thumping of drums.
Designed as an ancient ruin that could serve equally as an actively inhabited settlement, the Ziggurat Complex is a mixture of towering temples and smaller residential areas. At the heart of the map is the large central plaza, for big monster battles, surrounded by smaller narrower streets for sneaking and ambushing.
The full high-res 75x75 maps also come in partitioned versions, for use on VTT's with smaller upload limits. They also come in gridded and gridless, day and night versions
In addition for Vanguard tier, all the above maps come in Modular Mansion versions. With a total of 54 modular rooms and doors (including some procedural trap rooms), you can drag, drop and personalise your own version of the maps. All of this is compatible with previous Modular Mansion maps, so if you'd like a blacksmith in your temple complex, or nothing but trap rooms in your fancy castle, you can do that!
Thanks again to everyone who took part in the polls, and to everyone on Discord who helped with ideas for this map. Next up I'll be making a Pirate Village, so if you have any swashbucklin' ideas for that then come let me know.
As always, if you've got any feedback on this map, the patreon in general or ideas for future maps then feel free to comment, or come join the lovely people on Discord to come hang out.
I hope you have some excellent vine-swinging, boulder-dodging adventures with this one and that your PCs haven't skipped leg day; there's a lot of stairs!
Much Love
Amber
