Map Poll 10
Added 2020-11-16 15:44:48 +0000 UTCCome one and all, for another poll! Every few months I create a list of many of your ideas and suggestions and assemble them here for you to vote on which 7 I will make over the next few months. Also, notice that you can vote multiple times, choosing every option that sparks your interest! So, in a week or so, I'll end the poll and make a list of the 7 maps with the most votes, and from then on I'll make them in order of the most to least voted-for.
And once you've cast your vote, you should also leave a comment below with your thoughts on what you want me to add to Map Poll 11! It won't come for a few months, but keep in mind that if I see any amazing or extremely popular ideas below, I might skip the poll altogether and make it early, just for fun.

I know this is late, but it's just occurred to me how much I'm in need of a good interior 'town hall' map. Would love it of you could make one of those!

2020-12-09 19:46:23 +0000 UTCThank you very much! I'll see about making some more fun pirate maps
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:24:58 +0000 UTCWill do!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:24:18 +0000 UTCI've considered it before, but I got spooked since I wouldn't know the first place to start when designing a prison. I'll see about giving another go
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:24:10 +0000 UTCOoo, I have a few ideas already. Good idea!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:22:55 +0000 UTCThat's a fun idea, I'll work on it!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:21:41 +0000 UTCAbsolutely! I actually usually avoid making maps like that where it's a dungeon with cave elements (since it feels like it has been overdone), but it's popular for a reason.
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:20:46 +0000 UTCHedge maze! Good idea!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:19:37 +0000 UTCI'm not certain I know what a Shadowfell town would even look like- stark and moonlit? Nearly black and white with glowing orange windows?
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:19:22 +0000 UTCI made a while ago, but it's probably time for me to go back and make another!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:18:05 +0000 UTCI'm getting a surprising amount of requests for frog maps. Is there something I'm missing?
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:17:30 +0000 UTCHuh, I suppose I have never made maps that were intended to line up together. Caves would probably be the place to start too
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:16:51 +0000 UTCFrog temple? I don't know what would be but I bet it has a lot of lily pads and... flies? I'll have to think about that
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:08:41 +0000 UTCAbsolutely, I like to spice up my maps with plenty of big ledges and stairs. Lately I've been a bit more cautious though as I made a few with a few too many changes in elevation, which can be confusing to look at. I'll pull myself up by my bootstraps and get back to it!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:07:41 +0000 UTCOoo, those are some fun ideas. Noted for next time!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:05:39 +0000 UTCThank you very much! Jungle maps are going to make a big appearance on the next poll, and I'll try to slot an extra one into the lineup before then
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:05:11 +0000 UTCSounds like both are common suggestions- I'll be sure to prioritize them in the future
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:04:18 +0000 UTCFor sure. I tend to lean toward ruined maps since I like how the rubble and grime helps add detail to open spaces, but I probably have ignored the pristine environments for too long. Thanks for reminding me!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:03:51 +0000 UTCThose are my favorite maps to make, so I will! Thanks!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:02:08 +0000 UTCI often make Autumn recolorings of forest maps for Adept patrons but you're right, I should make sure to make a couple for $1 folks as well
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:01:35 +0000 UTCOo, that sounds really interesting! I like the thought of a chunk of a race track cutting through a volcanic cave!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-30 17:00:38 +0000 UTCAlways need more Bullywug maps, I'm having a campaign FROG WARS, communist Grungs fighting medieval Arthurian Bullywugs

2020-11-27 13:39:55 +0000 UTCPirate ship graveyard. bunch of derelict husks of pirate ships. But really, everything you do is wonderful.
2020-11-21 16:27:07 +0000 UTCBullywug Swamp Village! Also, a corrupt noble's manor house.. for breaking into, of course.
Chris Messenger
2020-11-21 03:23:13 +0000 UTCi think a rockslide or avalanche map would be super cool and challenging! always looking for more naturally unstable maps :)
2020-11-21 01:49:12 +0000 UTCAnything piratey!
2020-11-20 18:37:28 +0000 UTCA pirate sea cave/hideout/town would be neat.
2020-11-19 22:02:24 +0000 UTCOrc war camp
2020-11-19 15:38:13 +0000 UTCPrison
2020-11-19 11:52:47 +0000 UTCKinda specific, but the degree to which I would love a paddle-steamer-inspired spaceship cannot be overstated
Cian
2020-11-19 05:39:51 +0000 UTCOh, yes! Perhaps something like Smaug's lair.

Kackman
2020-11-17 16:41:50 +0000 UTCSome ideas off the top of my head: A cliff-side village with a port in the harbour below A magrove swamp A shipwreck on a reef with internal/external and submerged/above water areas A floating market (or perhaps one on stilits)
Josh Rodell
2020-11-17 12:59:58 +0000 UTCI'd really like an abandoned palace, with several floor of broken furniture, avid monsters and a few traps :D
2020-11-17 10:43:52 +0000 UTCA Warforged mechanical city could be cool, maybe a little junkyard-esque?
2020-11-17 07:29:27 +0000 UTCOh a dragon's lair of some type would be ideal
2020-11-17 06:24:23 +0000 UTCAn interesting map idea I believe would be like a bunch of interlocking catwalks over a massive, dark pit. Like something some underdark race made over a pitfall where something horrible is said to live or something similar.

2020-11-16 23:47:59 +0000 UTCThird for feywild maps
Jacob Harding
2020-11-16 21:30:27 +0000 UTCOne of my personal favourite sessions utilizing your maps was the one with Cultist Lair map, where there's a natural cave system followed by inhabited rooms. Would love to get another map like that. Perhaps with a different aesthetic. Flooded Dungeon was also great, but a water map doesn't quite fit into my current campaign.

2020-11-16 20:07:20 +0000 UTCFloating Island City please!
David Moschler
2020-11-16 20:05:59 +0000 UTCI second more Feywild stuff, and would love a Mountain Fort and Mountain Dragon's Lair
2020-11-16 19:15:51 +0000 UTCYes a shipwreck map or two would be great
Ben_is_Superman 1
2020-11-16 19:14:37 +0000 UTChow about some feywild or feywild-adjacent locations! Alice and wonderland type stuff. ooh hedge maze??
Kyle Braucher
2020-11-16 19:13:27 +0000 UTCI second the underwater city and flooded sites (temples, villages) and shipwrecks
2020-11-16 19:00:11 +0000 UTCShadowfell town. Regular (not SF) town hall & other important buildings.
2020-11-16 18:32:17 +0000 UTCTropical shallows
2020-11-16 18:18:06 +0000 UTCI would love, love, love some giant mushroom forest environment.

2020-11-16 18:10:29 +0000 UTCCochem Imperial Castle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochem My current game is centered around Cochem but set in a world loosely based on The Dragon Prince. Your urban maps work perfectly for the city but I can't find a good castle map.

2020-11-16 17:35:44 +0000 UTCSwamp camp befitting frog, lizard, or snake people
2020-11-16 17:27:47 +0000 UTCLush City, Desert City, Plains tent city (not barbarian, more like mongol/steppes people), Floating island town.
Nathaniel Cook
2020-11-16 16:51:31 +0000 UTCI would be interested in seeing a series of underground maps that link together to make a large cavern complex that has been made inhabitable.

Frank Bedene
2020-11-16 16:33:49 +0000 UTCI would be interested in seeing a map with lots of elevation changes. Perhaps a cliffside, or a series of ledges on a cliff. Or if you were being ambitious, a city scape with lots of levels: street, hanging gardens, roofs, aqueducts, robe bridge,....
Robert Nichols
2020-11-16 16:19:16 +0000 UTCI would like sewers map.
2020-11-16 16:13:21 +0000 UTC• Circus • Carnival • Snowy town covered in Christmas decor • Haunted mansion
2020-11-16 16:10:06 +0000 UTCHuge fan of the Jungle since I'm running Tomb of Annihilation ☺️, I love your art style
2020-11-16 16:06:52 +0000 UTCJungle maps would be great as they tend to be made infrequently. More Underdark maps would be nice too.
2020-11-16 16:06:47 +0000 UTCGothic Cathedral in all it's glory. I love the run down stuff, but I use the maps for setting reinforcement too, and I'd love a good solid impressive cathedral to make the PCs feel a little smaller.
Patrick Dennett
2020-11-16 16:05:28 +0000 UTCSome underwater temple and/caves
2020-11-16 16:02:50 +0000 UTCLove ruins and recently destroyed stuff. Keep up the good work!
Chris Allen
2020-11-16 16:01:52 +0000 UTCMy campaign is basically elemental planes leaking into the material. Could make some really interesting maps for that type of thing. Thinking underdark towers smashing through castles or portals with demons just on the other side.
2020-11-16 16:01:36 +0000 UTCSince one of my campaign is currently held at Shadowfell and the other is on a Red leaves Forest, I'd love to see this alternate color palettes (versions) come up frequently.
Bruno Franchini
2020-11-16 16:01:29 +0000 UTCCurrently running Out of the Abyss and Descent into Avernus. So Underdark / cave complexes are useful, as are anything with lava. Would love to see a map scaled for DiA vehicle combat. Otherwise keep up the good work!
2020-11-16 15:54:38 +0000 UTCGood! Recently I've been having fun making desert maps, so here's hoping they do well!
Alex VanDerAa
2020-11-16 15:51:23 +0000 UTCSince my players basically live and breathe desert and sand, anything that looks like sand or desert (or boulder fields is great).
