Illustrated covers are so much more inspiring to me! That said, DnD 3/3.5 core rulebook covers were absolute peak

No seriously do they? 'cause I'm having a blast making these and shooting the BGs while out on hikes!

A 26x40 TTRPG battlemap of a small camp with three tents set in a swampy, marshy landscape. Pools of stagnant water covered in moss and lilies dot the area, with scattered trees, bushes, and rocky cliffs providing elevation and cover. Suitable for any swamp encounter in any fantasy RPG.

Most recent battlemap I made: a camp in the middle of a swamp. Is it a group of hunters? cultist? refugees?

An outpost on a storm-battered rocky shore. Will your party break through enemy defenses, or hold the cliffs as waves of foes crash in with the tide?

Cheers! Whole map is hand drawn and painted in Procreate! I used some carnival-themed maps found in r/battlempas as reference. Some of them were by 2minutetabletop (the circular tent, the carts)

On the outskirts of a desert town, near a hidden oasis, a traveling carnival has pitched its colorful tents.
What secrets lie behind the painted curtains?
Smuggled goods? Cursed spirits haunting the night?
Or are the jugglers plotting a heist of their own?

Battlemap of a dungeon/cave system. Entrance is on the east side, followed by numerous tight and narrow tunnels. There is a large, open are on the south-western side that includes a tranquil underground pool. Hand-drawn for any fantasy TTRPGs like D&D, Pathfinder, Daggerheart, etc.

Haven't prepped for this weekend's session? Use this underground cave encounter map! Its narrow tunnels could house a band of kobolds, a nasty gelatinous cube, or even a bulette!
