The Pirate’s Grotto Battle Map
A huge 32×44 battle map of a tropical sea cave and a wrecked pirate ship. There’s treasure to be had… If you can overcome the scavengers.
Branching exploratory tunnels breach the cavernous space of an underground lake, beyond which the roar of white water can be heard.
This natural dungeon was my recent experiment in large scale cave maps. I think it was largely successful, though I do already have some new ideas for the next one!
Within we have a large subterranean pool, still and deep and threatening. Beyond that, abandoned mining tunnels criss-crossed by natural ones. Mushrooms and other plant life are creeping in from above and below, and no doubt there are other living things creeping about…
The “Transition” map variant combines with:
- North: Cavern Fungiwood
- South: Roaring Falls
- East: Damp Mine and Exterior
- West: Thermal Mines Part 1 and Part 2
What do you think lives down here now that the mining has stopped? Do any lore tidbits pop into your mind? As always, please share them below!

I just bought this set. Where can I find the dimensions for VTT? Thanks
The most convenient way is probably to refer to the PDF filenames, which list the exact dimensions. 🙂
I love it! But how do I connect them?!
Thanks! Please use the mock-up above as a guide. The only trick to it is to overlap the Abandoned Tunnels over the Damp Mine by one tile. This transforms the collapsed tunnel at the end of the Damp Mines into a tunnel that enters the Abandoned Tunnels.
Hi! I bought the Everything Pack several months ago. Does it include new content like this, or is that a separate purchase? Thanks!
