H. P. Lovecraft's City of R'lyeh [51x33]

Happy holidays, everyone!

I'm very excited to reveal a project I have been working on for several months: the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh from H. P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu.

I've been drawing this on my iPad as a passion project, and it is finally ready to share with the world. I have plans to turn this into a printed map with an adventure and location guide on the back... more on that later.

I've got a total of 19 variations for this one, so even if your campaign doesn't have Lovecraftian elements you should be able to find a way to fit this in. Included are phases of the original variation, so you can have your players run across the apex of the Great House of Cthulhu at sea and prompt them to explore deep underwater, or have the water level rise and fall as the plot moves forward.

While Call of Cthulhu was the main inspiration for this map, the snow and ice versions could substitute for the city on the Leng Plateau in At The Mountains of Madness, perfect for an Icewind Dale campaign. And Avernus players will be happy to see the Inferno and Lava versions.

I've intentionally left grids and scales off of these maps. I'd suggest something HUGE, like several thousand feet (or a mile) an inch, but do what makes sense for your setting.
