Hello, im a new GM and im looking for places to get digital battlemaps. Im looking for ones that are compatible with roll20.
Crossland makes big maps with a good amount of detail. Usually with a single theme. https://www.patreon.com/crossland Crosshead is the related project and they have good assets for dungeon draft.
Czepeku makes very detailed and expressive maps that tell a whole story. They are fairly fantastical and I use their website’s map search to find inspiration. https://www.czepeku.com/
I’ve been looking Darkest Maps lately. They’ve got good horror and eldritch stuff while also a bunch of standard fantasy. https://www.patreon.com/DarkestMaps
2 Minute Tabletop is great for simpler designs that tend to be less cluttered and a bit more rough and low poly on line work and detail. But they still look great. https://2minutetabletop.com/
Cze Peku are great! The worst part of Patreon is Patreon having carefully crafted the single most frustrating UI for finding something specific from the people you subscribe to. CzePeku’s website gets around Patreon entirely, letting you just search their site for a link to the map download page.
Omg yes. The tag system is ok but it’s not ideal. I often find maps of people I subscribe to on Patreon easier on Google image search.
My favourite map creator is Neutral Party on Patreon. They create nice, simple maps, which is exactly what I like. I’m not a fan of maps that try to force you to tell a certain kind of story, unless they include that as part of a packaged adventure. I mostly just want to be able to find a map which depicts the sort of environment where a battle is happening. And NP’s maps are perfect for that.
Ooh these are really good! Clean lines, expressive color and detail but not too cluttered.
Yeah I really like them. And if you support them at a higher tier, they give each map multiple colour treatments, so you can get for example a snowy/rocky/grassy version of the same scene.
I love the maps Matt Coville used in his Dusk campaign. I need to find those and will try to post it. If someone else knows, that would also be helpful.
