How To Design and Draw Battle Maps
Ross McConnell from 2-Minute Tabletop explains his personal method to designing and drawing battle maps for tabletop role-playing games.
Create custom sci-fi battle maps with our modular map tiles and map assets, or use one of our many pre-made futuristic battle maps!
This pack began as a modular version of my recent Diver-Class Scout Ship, but I quickly realized that it was useful for a lot more than starships! It evolved into a more general “Industrial Interiors” pack, and – with the connecting doors and passages – you can quickly make any kind of multi-room industrial interior you might need.
Though I slapped “Sci-Fi” on the name to mark the set it’s a part of, you can of course use it for modern, Cyberpunk, and fantasy-tech settings!
So, what do you think of map tiles such as these? They’re a little more rigid than my usual bits-and-pieces asset packs, but so much faster to work with. I figure that a bit of both is the best way to do things. 🙂

10 More Ocean Encounters
The party’s journey continues across the world’s oceans. They have faced monsters both above and below the surface, and even contended with enchanted weather. But they are not done yet, and further dangers await! Below you will find the expanded encounter descriptions for the second half of our Ocean Encounters d20 Chart. They should contain

Take to the high sea with this rather stylized rendition of ocean waves!
I know some people that play Dungeons and Dragons that would probably love this idea for castles, dungeons, towns, etc. I see you have gone a bit into that, but the castles and the dungeons would also be cool. I really like the looks of the room builder. You have done a great job! These are very cool for roll playing games. I will have to look farther into your site and do some reading here. Thank you.
That’s not a bad idea! As you noticed, we have granular assets for making such things, but there’s nothing like tiles when it comes to quick and easy maps.
I found a [more] spot to click on, and found the dragon’s lair and pathways, etc. sorry, I hadn’t seen that part! That was exactly what I was talking about. So, never mind You have got it all. Great job on all of it!
