The Oceans theme from The MAD Cartographer!
This module pack contains:
- 23 unique battlemaps complete with dynamic walling, lighting, and ambient audio.
This product includes the following maps:
- Hundred-Handed-One - A massive titan wades through the ocean, promising to wreak havoc when he reaches his destination. Adventurers have charted a couple of the fastest ships they could find, in hopes of stopping this world-ending monstrosity. The size of the creature means that the fight will very likely take place on the arms and shoulders of the Titan itself!
- Crab Lair - Sun-Dappled sands are littered with natural debris at the bottom of this natural cove. A cave entrance sits nearby, with the submerged remains of a giant crab lying outside - possibly once the inhabitant of the cave, or a defender of whatever lies inside? A variant is included for this map without the crab corpse.
- Dockside Tavern - On the shores of a sunny beach sits a small wooden taverna spanning 2 floors. Entertainment and drinks are offered on the ground floor whilst upstairs there are a number of private quarters for weary adventurers, or sailors waiting to embark on a new voyage from the dock outside.
- Eel Passage - A number of small burrows straddling a deep ocean ravine are host to a species of venomous, highly aggressive eels that are infamous for attacking those diving for treasure or exploration. How will your players bypass them to reach the depths of the trench - and are there larger horrors within? A variant of this map is included without the eels.
- Flotilla Dock - Life on the high seas can take its toll on a ship, and this is where they come for repairs. The Flotilla is a large, drifting dock where ships can be moored to allow easier repairs. Two ships are here currently, perhaps crews with a bitter rivalry who did not expect to be stuck here with sworn enemies...
- Coral Cave - A tightly winding network of natural underwater tunnels, which have slowly been claimed by coral and anenomes over the years. Now the walls are beautiful but razor-sharp, and pockets of anenomes release a constant stream of corrosive acid into the waters as a defense mechanism. A variant of this map is included with ruins scattered throughout the cave.
- Angler Fish - This staged encounter includes 4 maps, which portray a giant sinkhole in the ocean floor growing deeper and deeper. As characters swim further down, the sunlight's reach fades, and bioluminescent anenomes begin to cast pale light around the lower reaches. At the bottom of the trench lies a harrowing discovery - An enormous Angler Fish ready to devour players!
- Tidal Pool - A beautiful stretch of shoreline, filled with rich rock pools and tiny coves. As hungry gulls circle over the head, the sea life hides in the rocks to avoid becoming a meal.
- Sea Hag Hut - In the heart of a kelp forest sits a small stone hut with a seaweed roof, looking out of place and almost like a picturesque country cottage. Outside is a small and carefully tended garden of sea plants. Is this the lair of a Sea Hag, or perhaps a powerful wizard who has transported their home beneath the waves? Variants for this map are included with/without 2 styles of enchanted air bubble surrounding the cottage to allow visitors to breath.
- Ghost Tree - In the heart of an underwater grove lies the Ghost Tree, an enormous jellyfish-type growth that is said to play a vital role in the growth cycle of an enormous titan that hunts these depths. Countless small ocean fauna make their home in the slightly warmer waters surrounding the Ghost Tree, which sits on an outcrop over a much deeper crevasse. A variant is included for this map with a more bioluminescent version of the tree.
- Whirlpool Altar - This great altar of the tides is said to be a gateway to the Plane of Water, and the giant and eternal whirlpool that reaches down through the ocean floor to unknown depths would certainly suggest something magical is afoot. The shattered remains of a ship sit on another outcrop above the whirlpool, which is dragging a constant stream of fish, plant life, and wreckage into the maelstrom.
- Beach Wreckage - When great storms wreck and upheave the ocean, it isn't just sailors who suffer - This stretch of beach may be littered with the obliterated remnants of a large sailing ship, but a great number of sea creatures seem to have lost their life too - The corpses of a Sea Giant, a Sperm Whale and a Shark are washed up on the shore. A variant of this map is included without the Storm Giant.
This map pack features a collection of oceanic maps, featuring locales and environments above and deep below the waves!. All maps are 140ppi webp images, for the best balance of quality & performance in a VTT setting.
