Celestial Gate - [34x51]
Added 2021-05-25 20:07:21 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone!
Deep within this enchanted birch forest there awaits a gate to the stars. Or maybe somewhere completely different if the Fey have been messing with it! Time to open a portal, jump in and find out!
Our idea for this map was trying to find some mix between the eerie and ancient and the peaceful ambience of an ancient forest.
We're joined for this map by McRoMusic who has composed a great track to accompany this map. We'll be posting that shortly after this, go give it a listen and check out his work!
Enjoy!
Edit: As this map was so popular and we had requests for more variations, we've added 6 more to the $5 set. Click the 'Bonus' link below to get them and scroll to the bottom of the post to see the new variations (flooded, frozen, desert, desert activated, hell and neon). Thanks as well to everyone who upvoted this post making it one of our most successful ever.

This one doesn't have the second set in Foundry, I've noticed.

Hey, Samuel Green asked about a year ago about getting the gate structure with a transparent background. Is there a chance that I can get the "Open Portal" with the transparent background? I wanted to put this in a larger underground complex for the party to hunt down and turn off.

They're just random shapes!

Sorry if the question has already been asked but what kind of alphabet has been used for the symbols on the ring? I'm planning on using this wonderful map but I know my players will spend a lot of time in the library trying to decipher the symbols...Thank you for your answer and keep up this incredible work!!!

This epic of a map really can facilitate an amazing session I look forward to my Party attempting to close the gate while fending of in-fighting extraplanar creatures from every realm of imagination

I have a BBEG who has figured out how to exist in multiple planes at once and these are absolutely perfect for the party's "Doc" to have created to help be in multiple places at once!
Absolutely amazing.

Oh man this desert one is clutch.
2021-06-01 22:05:25 +0000 UTC
These are exactly what I needed for our final battle! It won't be for a while, but now I know what we're headed towards.

This is perfect for something I have coming up soon. Much appreciated!
2021-05-27 04:07:04 +0000 UTC
OH my god you're right, this would be perfect. Might actually also work as the hell version I just asked about. But yeah, Maze Engine version would be dope.

A hell version would be awesome, since there's a gateway thing in Decent into Avernus.

That seems possible!

Daymn guys. This is insanely cool. Well done once again!

2021-05-26 04:46:29 +0000 UTC
So great! Rather than a bunch more variants (as many people are asking), could you just provide a version with only the Gate structure itself, and a transparent background to place the gate onto any existing map?
2021-05-26 01:12:02 +0000 UTC
Amazing work as always!!! This one is such a masterpice, so usefull for many DMs like myself

And once again you create exactly what I'm soon going to need in my campaign. Love the Song from the collaboration, too! Amazing work, all of it - as always.

If it were me, I would make them portals that need to be activated to travel to other planes. Otherwise you hop in and float in the ether for a bit and get spat back out of another hole somewhere on the map
Just to add a bit of chaos to the map!

Chevron 8 activated. Whee! Time to go plane-jumping! Right, Teal'c? "Indeed."

Holy crap guys. This is so beautiful and intricate yet could slip into almost any fantasy setting. Amazing work.

I was getting the same thing when clicking on the $1 reward link, then remembered that you have to click it from the site instead of the e-mail to get it to work.

2021-05-25 21:03:57 +0000 UTC
ooooh! Seconded. A bundle of variants to where to map could lead in different plains would be amazing!

I'm in the $5 tier but always get a 403 error when I click on the reward link. Not sure what's up.

Would looove a hell version of this
Andrew H
2021-05-25 20:42:57 +0000 UTC
Oh man, would it be possible to pretty please get a version of this suspended over a pit of lava in the underdark? This would be perfect for a slightly homebrewed version of Out of the Abyss's Maze Engine.

Players are definitely going to ask about the big pots of blue sparkly stuff! Any ideas of what that might be?
2021-05-25 20:26:00 +0000 UTC
More outstanding and amazing work as always!!! Literally dropping this into my game for tonight's session right now to replace a portal i was just settling for! Phenomenal
2021-05-25 20:21:43 +0000 UTC
This is LITERALLY perfect! I'm just getting to a point in my homebrew campaign where I needed a portal. Can't say just how happy I am I backed you!
