Revisiting an Old Map

I ran a campaign a couple of years back.  I was on a very limited budget in terms of time, and was much less versed in map making than I am now.  I needed a map for the game, and didn’t have anything but MS Paint to make it in.  Sadly, that is what I did.  I wasn’t completely happy with it at the time, but at the same time I wasn’t overly disappointed in it.  The game went great and is remembered very fondly, and I’d like to think that the map played a role in that, but looking at it now makes me cringe a bit.  I decided to take a few minutes yesterday to spruce the map up a bit.  I didn’t redo the map, more renovated it a bit.   It limited what I could do, but also preserved the overall look of the original.

Free Map - Dungeon Edition!


This is the dungeon map I was supposed to post yesterday, but since I didn't it looks like there will be two free maps this week.  This dungeon is a cavernous maze.  It has an entrance and an exit (easily seen by the break in the map border).  If people enjoy it then this map will be the first in a series of modular dungeon maps.  I went with a square grid because they seem to be much more popular.  If there is a desire for a hex version email me or leave a comment and I'll add one.

For those who have been following along, this map builds upon the random dungeon generation I used for the Lair of the Formorian King map.  Obviously this one was a bit more involved, but beginning concept and technique were much the same.

Free Map: Power Outage Part 2 Edition



Yes this map is late, but as I, and over half a million other people in this state, have no power there wasn't much I could do to help that. I was going to post a dungeon map today, as was requested by one of our readers, but unfortunetly that map is on my desktop.  Fortunetly I have another finished map on my laptop and that is the map that I present here today.

Free Map... Wednesday?


These are getting harder and harder to do.  Not for lack desire or inspiration, just lack of time.  School is really getting to be a pain, I've been putting in extra hours at work, and my weekends are pretty much booked solid.  So finding time to sit down and make maps is getting harder and harder.  Thank you all for bearing with me as this map is a few days late.  

Some general housekeeping before we get to the map... We've had a request for a subterranean map which I am working on, but you might not see that for a few weeks.  I've also gotten a few requests for more town maps which I will do my best to fulfill.  Finally some people have been wondering when we will do another free map giveaway and I can tell you that it won't be until this semester is over because I just don't have the time right now.  December or January is likely when you will see the next contest.  I won't give away all the details now, but I will say that this contest won't be a random drawing like the last time, but will still allow anyone interested to enter.

Without further ado let's get to this week's map.  This map depicts a narrow land bridge between two continents   Like all of our Free Map Monday Maps, this map is 100% free for your personal use.  This map is devoid of city/town markers, mountains, forests, or anything else which leaves you free to add anything you want to the map with ease.  Please feel free to leave thoughts on this map or the series of free maps in general in the comments section or email us by clicking on the "Email Us" scroll in the far right hand column.

New Free Map - Now with bonus Hex Version!


I'm scheduling this well ahead of time in case the hurricane that is currently tear assing through North Carolina does likewise where I lives and I end up losing power, something my power company tells me may happen for up to a week!  

This map is of a river and the surrounding lands.  Though normally we do totally blank maps there has been some requests to do maps that have more features, but still have the labels left off.  To that end this map has rivers, hills, forests, etc, but still no labels.  That part is your job!
