Underdark Spiral
Added 2024-04-14 15:17:06 +0000 UTCHello again, everyone! This map is the Underdark Spiral (30x30), an interesting name for what's essentially a cave with a pit. Even so, small maps like these can make for dramatic encounters if they're properly set up, especially since circular layouts like this can make the players think that they're walking into a boss fight. Also, I think it might make the fight a little more interesting if you got your players to head down to the center of the map before trickling the enemies in through the only entrance, eventually followed up by a bigger baddie. Making your players take the defense on a straightforward map like this would certainly be a fun tactical twist, right?

Negative comments? I’m glad I missed them. Neutral Party’s art is head-and-shoulders above the other map makers I support on this site. (And they’re all pretty great, too) I’ve felt that way for several years, and I’m not just saying that due to the recent focus on the Underdark! (I’ve been slowly running Out of the Abyss since 2018 (!! wow that’s bonkers when I write it out). We’re most of the way through, but NP’s maps make my prep SO MUCH easier: “Which awesome map that could work here have I not used yet?” And only a little “Aw. man! That would have been PERFECT for the encounter from … oh, 4 years ago.” ;-`> Thanks so much!)

2024-04-28 15:44:20 +0000 UTCThanks, I love your work and appreciate your reply! Yeah for some reason I don't come across many arctic maps, which is a shame in my opinion because arctic adventures are so much FUN! For specific maps, I'd really like to see a bandit hideaway/camp in an arctic setting. Aside from that, some ideas: a frozen river with a bridge a winter forest setting a farm in wintertime a frozen beach Thanks again!

2024-04-15 14:03:32 +0000 UTCHey Neutral Party, I've seen some negative comments on few of your other posts and I just wanted to say that you can happily ignore them. I love your work you've been putting out and excited for more! Also, is there a place we can go to suggest maps? Would love a ruined city / spectral city type deal.

2024-04-15 07:39:25 +0000 UTCHi this is great, but any chance you have any arctic maps in the works? I’m running a long arctic adventure and am starved for arctic maps.
