Roadside Inn
I've been making maps for a while now, and I realized that I haven't made a tavern or inn yet! In my experience, most campaigns start and end in a tavern of some sort.
So here is my contribution to the internet’s endless archive of tavern battlemaps— The Roadside Inn.
For VTT users, specifics include:
- Dimensions: 4000x3000 (100 PPI)
- Grid Size: 40x30
You can download the base map for free here.
Find my entire map archive here.

I am making a 5e setting inspired by Ancient India!
Welcome to the world of Devabhumi, which is is a high fantasy 5e setting inspired by the history and epics of Ancient India. This setting features:
- 100+ pages of lore
- A karma mechanic
- 6 new races
- 20+ backgrounds and feats
- And much more!
The Land of Devabhumi is a distant place nestled in between the sea and sky scraping mountains. It is a land where gods and mortals live together, boons and curses change the destiny of its inhabitants, and senses are easily overpowered by the diversity of the landscape.
The events of Devabhumi take place in the Dvapara Yuga (the Bronze Age), which features various technological advancements such as flying ships, magical chariots, and powerful weapons.
The Kickstarter will go live in one month. Sign up to be notified when it launches here.

Demonic, Undead, & Vampire Ships
For the longest time, I've been wanting to release a monster ship pack that would be crewed by various nefarious forces of darkness.
Many of these ships were inspired by settings other than D&D. For example, the Otherworldly and Flesh ships were inspired by pulp horror and the Cthulhu Mythos.
 Along with each ship map, I've made a night variant, an unfurnished map, and a PNG token with a transparent background.
You can download the first three maps for free here.

Orc Tavern
This Orc Tavern may look intimidating from the outside, but it is merely a tourist trap run by two entrepreneurial half-orcs.
This tavern simulates everything that happens in a real Orc mess hall, but makes sure that no one is cooked, stabbed, or eaten.

Rise of the Undead - graves are torn open as the walking dead flood the earth…

Indian Bazaar
In the crowded marketplace alive with the scent of colorful spices and mouthwatering street food, there is a secret smuggling ring that supplies customers with the rare drug Ksibata. This drug is rumored to have the power to completely heal one's wounds and energize the spirit...but at a cost. Do you dare to try the drug?
The concept of a crowded marketplace, a bazaar, has always appealed to me. The ability to blend in seamlessly with the crowd, being exposed to all kinds of sights, smells, and tastes, and interacting with a variety of people.
This map will also be included as part in my Devabhumi setting book, which will be released this year! Devabhumi is an Ancient India-inspired campaign setting, which presents an unique shrouded in rich lore and mystery. Sign up here to be notified when the kickstarter project goes live.

Fey Tavern
Tucked away in a wild forest is this enchanting tavern, a place where the senses are energized and the body is nourished.
This tavern is ran exclusively by Fey creatures, who delight in meeting new guests and treating them with delicious food, hot steamy baths, and warm beds, all free of charge.
However, there is a catch. Once someone enters this tavern…they don’t feel like leaving.

An Old Fort on a Hill
The concept of forts has always amazed me as a child. The idea of people building large citadels from which they can fight behind (or hide).
Part of why I love mapmaking is I now get to build my own fortresses and citadels!
This map is part of my Forest Encounters pack, which features 25 different scenarios that fit most campaigns.

Maheshwari Indian Temple
Tall marble staircases, ornate pillars, and a golden-brass statue all welcome worshippers and travelers to the Maheshwari Mandir, which roughly translates to "Temple of the Great One."
Indian temples come in a variety of styles, but the inner structures are almost always the same. There are two main sections, an inner chamber that houses the deity called the garba griha, and an outer worshipping space called the mandala. Worship typically takes place in the form of a Puja, during which various food items are offered to the deity in a large sacrificial fire.
This map can also be used as a general fantasy temple if you wish to do so.
Download the map for free here.
This map will also be included as part in my 5e Devabhumi setting book, which will be released this year! Devabhumi is an Ancient India-inspired campaign setting, which presents an alternate world that brings the epics and stories of this rich culture to life.
