You guys think this is a good, non offensive map for a dungeon?

Some of these look like level maps for Fallout 1 & 2.

As a DM in a Roll20 campaign who is out of ideas.... Bless you. By the heavens, bless you!
AwkwardlyPlacedWink
Hey man, I DM for some friends on roll20, and map making is always kind of a hassle. I logged in just to tell you THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Jesus, save some of the pussy for us.

My GF has been jonesing hard for some D&D. No groups near us.
Sassmachine
No way. This is is more valuable.

+500 to DM skills. Thanks!
lffi
Thank you, I will most likely end up using at least a few of these!
Yokonui
load 81 more? yessss as a gm, this will save me so much work :D
KingCornish
Excellent stuff. Here’s some awesome D&D material.

Sweet, awesome upload!

just ran my new group through phandelver, glad to see more detailed versions of some of those maps on here

Beautiful. Any printables?

I've been playing Diablo III on Xbox One and it makes me wonder if this is what DnD is like.
TyrantJester
Diablo 3 is a hack n slash loot grinder. It's also one of the worst current gen versions of this style of game available. The success it 1/
TyrantJester
has is based entirely on the Diablo name that the original, Diablo 2, and Lord of Destruction expansion pack built up. You could label a 1/
TyrantJester
box Diablo with nothing but a rock inside and people would still buy it.
TrueSheepKing
not even close
Yinyang107
Nope. Not at all.
jamesws70
What do you use to make these ?
GreenYawgmoth
I recognize a bunch of these from deviantart. There's a few really good battlemap makers on there.
Megalovania
I did not make them, simply found them off google images/deviantart/tumblr when searching for maps for my campaigns over the years.
JesterTone
#2 is mine. I made it on Dungeon Painter Studio. Theres a second part that the stairs on the left goes to. I'll post it if people like.
JesterTone
Actually, saw you had the 2nd one in there too. But yeah, both made on DPS. I can give you others if you like.
Megalovania
You're amazing with that program, I am still learning it. I can make good building interiors, but I struggle with the cavern looks.
hazzerj
Yes!! Why would the answer be anything other than yes?? Heroes like you are what get people who can't make maps into map making :)

I'd give you more upvotes if I could.
pc404
I gave my +1 for you, never played D&D.
sunyudai
Why do so many dungeons lack adequate restroom facilities?
GnollGM
Because back in the day, most people relieved themselves into pans or pots beneath beds, or buckets in the corner.
sunyudai
Chamberpots, fair. Still needed to empty the night soil every now and then.
GnollGM
Do what kobolds do (per Races of the Dragon), stick a small gelatinous cube at the bottom of a pit. It'll dissolve organic components.
igorstrawhiskey
I really want to try D&D but I’m a 23 year old girl and wouldn’t know where to go/who to approach, but it looks like a lot of fun
SerpentWearer
I don't know if you're still looking, but I might be starting a campaign soon as my first time DM'ing. You're welcome to give it a shot.
Damascus121
Check out roll20.net there's some looking for group (LFG) boards to find games to join online.
Megalovania
I'm also a 23 y/o girl and I run my own games. You can find online groups on r/lfg, or your local comic gaming shop might offer something.
igorstrawhiskey
Thanks OP! Might try it online, I don’t know why but I would feel intimidated going into a comic store for D&D by myself haha
VanceDrayton
Best way to get in is learn to DM and ask a few friends. Start an official module makes it easier and everything should fall into place! GL!
igorstrawhiskey
Legit don’t have any friends (that I know of) that play D&D!
profanelogic
Jesus. This is gonna save me on days I forget to make maps or don't have enough for the session.
solmazer
Me too! I just got reloaded for a game in progress.
aimdr0id
What program do you use to make maps?
profanelogic
Campaign cartographer. It's unfortunately not free. https://www.profantasy.com/products/cc3.asp
ItsNotASchoonerItsASailboat
That's everyday for me :( even when I prepare I feel unprepared
profanelogic
My group has no constant pace. Some days it takes them the whole session to get going. Other days like two dungeons and a boss in 2 hours.
ItsNotASchoonerItsASailboat
Haha, sounds about right
stillwatrpwnage
I tend to have an idea and then just make the map up as I go to fit the idea once I run out of "prepared" areas
eagleandy93
try donjon it can make random maps of different sizes and levels

Thanks man! This is gonna be so helpful.

Donjon is one of my fave gens for D&D. My other fave is Chaotic Shiny for plot element gens.
Soganox
These sound like things I should check out later. Thanks!

Chaotic Shiny? You don't happen to have a link do you?

Any tips for a first time DM? I've got the starter set, but it leaves a lot of unanswered questions.
GoutyCashew
I'd really recommend the Angry GM blog. Was hugely helpful to me when I first started: http://theangrygm.com/category/how-to-gm/how-to-run/
Cyzyk
Learn the rules first. If you have specific questions, hit me up. Or I can run you an intro session online and explain general stuff.
sunyudai
Always remember: the most important part of the game, is that the players have fun. What that means varies group by group. Also...
sunyudai
don't try to wing it when remembering NPCs or plot points - notes will save you over the course of long campaigns.
Ryanator50
try not to railroad your characters. push them too hard to save the world and they might just decide to stay in one town and run for mayor.

Prepare your npc's as well as you can. They bring flavour to the world/campaign and you get to roleplay too. Other than that, just make
Chainhealer
sure combat goes smooth and doesn't take the entire session. Know the rules and world and you will get the hang of it.
NautiGal
I'm more than happy to answer any DMing questions you PM me. Also - be prepared to improvise. Players never go as planned :P
Blunderhorse
Read the adventure front-to-back and learn the basics of the rules before you start. Make sure your players understand the basics of >>

combat and their characters' abilities. Also, #5 and #7 are maps from the starter adventure, if you need it for a virtual tabletop
Megalovania
You can PM me any questions, otherwise I recommend Matthew Colville on Youtube. He's got quality tips for DMing.
spidersspidersspiders
Right on. Thanks!
GreenYawgmoth
Combat: Each ability an enemy has makes it exponentially harder to run. My campaign-defining final boss has 6 abilities, for example.
GreenYawgmoth
Remember that simple != boring. A couple interesting abilities will always be better than 15 spells from the PHB.
GreenYawgmoth
Plot: Have a beginning, have an ending. Everything else should flow from the players' actions. Have a handful of encounters planned that...
GreenYawgmoth
...you can add where appropriate so you're never creating entire scenes whole-cloth.
GreenYawgmoth
NPCs: Have a basic personality trait. Who do they hate, who do they like, and what do they want? How do they plan to get it? Same for orgs.
spidersspidersspiders
Orgs?
GreenYawgmoth
Organizations. 140 characters, gotta abbreviate where you can sometimes. <.<
