The Cave Hideout

[onez]

Hello friends.

I recently dug out a pile of old notes from my long-gone Dungeons&Dragons Game Master days. I also fount a good deal of decently designed maps, which I used to stage my campaigns in.
I thought it would be cool (and cheap, I know) to rework some and share them with the community.

This one is a very generic cave/underground hideout setting, and I thought I could (lazily) leave it blank so Game Masters out there can put their own descriptions.

That's a beautiful map, Onez. I particularly like the fineness of the cross hatch shading representing the rock and earth in section.

It looks great in black and white, but would you ever add colour to this?

That cross-hatching was made with a specific brush in Clip Studio Paint, so I can take no credit for it

I'm a pretty slow artist, so I think I will want to produce more black/white maps like this, rather than refining fewer.
But I would love to colour it!

Its already great, but I can't help wondering what it would look like with just a couple of pale watercolour washes on it - nothing too detailed or complicated.

I shall wait quite patiently to see if it happens one day

Very very cool map ! I agree with Mouse, the fine hatching and its gradient like thickness gives real depth to the walls. The detail are great and I'm sure your laziness will be much appreciated by lazy DMs
