Sea of Moving Ice Map Pack!

morvoldpress post Sea of Moving Ice Map Pack! from patreon

This monstrous map is my interpretation of a section of the Sea of Moving Ice from the module, Rise of Tiamat.

There are some random encounters that can happen upon the ice ranging between Giant Octopus, Snow Hunters, Polar Bears and other creatures, but no real map provided for people to stage these various encounters. This map was designed to provide you with the opportunity to stage any of those potential encounters, whether it be an attack upon the ship at sea, making landfall to one of the sections of tightly-pac...

Phandelver Update #3 Map Pack!

morvoldpress post Phandelver Update #3 Map Pack! from patreon

I'm happy to announce the final of [3] Phandelver Update Map Packs!

This Map Pack contains updated maps for the Sleeping Giant Taphouse, Woodworker's Shop and Shrine of Luck.

I've been working for some time to update all of the original maps with the more modern style I have developed over the years, with improved shading, lighting, colors and, sometimes, surrounding layouts of the maps to better match the somewhat recently redone Phandalin town.

Here are previews of these updated ma...

Yawning Portal Inn | 3rd Floor Map Pack!

morvoldpress post Yawning Portal Inn | 3rd Floor Map Pack! from patreon

Hey guys! It's finally done! ;)

Ever since creating the Yawning Portal Inn base map, I've had several people inquiring when I would have a 2nd floor and, finally, when I'd have the 3rd and final floor of the tavern.

Well -- that's TODAY!

The 3rd Floor of the Yawning Portal Inn was done in the same dimension as the 2nd Floor, which many of you may remember was 2x the dimensions of the 1st Floor due to a mental error while creating it, HOWEVER, people voted overwhelmingly for me to keep the 3rd Floor the sa...

James' RPG Art makes animated scenes to help players visualize environments and add immersion and tone to your games. He has created over 300 scenes from official WotC adventures and many unique locations that are often found in a D&D adventure. He relea...

Quarter Mile of Underdark Map Pack!

morvoldpress post Quarter Mile of Underdark Map Pack! from patreon

Hey guys!

Today, I bring you a Quarter Mile (in 5' squares) of Underdark tunnels and caves!

This one took me a LONG time, but I hope you'll enjoy the results! This is a MASSIVE 240 x 80 battlemap of the Underdark, featuring a webwork of connected tunnels and caverns that form a quarter mile of length from one end to the next. These caverns can provide you and your players with a huge amount of potential random encounters, whether it be a full crawl across the map or simply using particular sections for specific encounter...

INTRODUCING MORVOLD ADVENTURES!

morvoldpress post INTRODUCING MORVOLD ADVENTURES! from patreon

Hey guys!

I have some exciting news! I'm currently working on putting together a series of monthly (or perhaps bi-monthly) games that are broadcast as events through the Morvold Press Discord.

These One Shot Adventures would be run BY DM's and FOR DM's, allowing some of you permanent DM's the opportunity to actually play for once! It will also provide a great opportunity for new DM's to come and watch more veteran DM's run through a particular module or adventure to see how others do it and perhaps learn a few thin...

Ironspine Keep Map Pack!

morvoldpress post Ironspine Keep Map Pack! from patreon

Hey guys!

This is my interpretation of Ironspine Keep from the module, Hold Back the Dead, a free adventure offered by WOTC for the 50th Anniversary of D&D. The adventure has the players arriving to an old and dilapidated keep in the woods, where soldiers and laborers work to restore its defenses under an unnatural gloom.

The woods have been allowed to grow close, and the keep is in general disrepair. The adventure deals primarily with defending the battlements from an encroaching horde of undead minion...

Cragmaw Castle | LMoP Map Pack!

Hey guys!

I've got another UPDATED map for you today with Cragmaw Castle, from the module, Lost Mine of Phandelver. Similar to the recently released Redbrand Hideout, I'd created a version of this many years ago with older techniques that left it wanting compared to some of the new maps I've been producing for the Shattered Obelisk, so I decided to update them all from scratch!

The completed maps from the module (not the town maps) have been Phandelver Town, Wyvern Tor, R...

Hey guys!

This is an UPDATED map of the Redbrand Hideout from the module, Lost Mine of Phandelver, which I'd created several years ago when I first started making maps. After updating several of the Phandalin building maps, I've decided to go back and update ALL of the maps from that adventure, so that there's a consistent art style between them all.

Grizzly Hills Village Map Pack!

morvoldpress post Grizzly Hills Village Map Pack! from patreon

Welcome to Grizzly Hills!

It is not a coincidence that this shares the name with one of my favorite zones in World of Warcraft. I was listening to background music on YouTube and came across a series of music offerings with visuals and music from all of the various zones of WoW.

Grizzly Hills was one of my favorites, with the combination of pine trees, foothill mountains and winding rivers. It immediately gave me an image in my mind of something I wanted to create, and I decided to couple it with one of my favor...

Illustration Art by Mondcuow.

I released maps of the town of Whistlebay Harbor over a year ago, one of them representing the town under siege as you experience in the module, and I've also created a winter version that I will be adding to the files for people to use as as variant, or for a location like Easthaven from Icewind Dale.

I'd commissioned Mondcuow to do an illustrated scene for both of these maps, and I just wanted to share the end result with you guys!

Darklake | Underdark Lake Map Pack!

This is a BIG one.

Similar to the Neverwinter Woods sequence of maps I created a couple of years ago, this is going to be a multi-map endeavor, creating at least [4] maps at this scale (160 x 200) that link to one another to form a massive [320 x 400] area for random encounters in the Underdark.

This is also intended to be used by people running Out of the Abyss, as they traverse what is known as the Darklake, which has a range of potential encounters with Kuo-Toa, Duergar, Aq...

In January 2024, I began an initiative to create a Fantasy Art Gallery comprised of 100% human-made artwork to begin populating a gallery that could be used by YOU (DM's and Players) to find inspiration and use for their personal, home games.

In February (2025), I ended up commissioning about 32 artists for this month's collection, who were given the same theme of - "War Mounts & Beast Riders".

Lost Tomb of Khaem Map Pack!

morvoldpress post Lost Tomb of Khaem Map Pack! from patreon

For those running Out of the Abyss, or perhaps those of you that just need a sparsely decorated tomb to plunder/explore across a few environment variants, I present my interpretation of the Lost Tomb of Khaem.

The module has this sized at 21 x 14, which seems cramped, but tombs probably would be and so I didn't make any dimensional changes that I might normally do on other maps. I did add an exterior to the map, so that you could potentially add an encounter on the approach.

Oozing Temple | Out of the Abyss Map Pack!

morvoldpress post Oozing Temple | Out of the Abyss Map Pack! from patreon

For those running Out of the Abyss, or perhaps just interested in long slimy hallways (you know who you are), I present my interpretation of the Oozing Temple.

The module has this sized at 25 x 25, but I think I would run this at 50 x 50 simply to give the area a bit more space and adjust the sizes of any of the oozes, slimes or jellies contained within accordingly, but the gridded version retains the original 25 x 25 spacing for those of you wanting to play close the adventure, as written.

I just received a commission for an Arcane Sentinel, by Clark Ocleasa, and decided to create a stat block for those wanting to use the creature in the Arcane Prison Map.

The High Security Vault has [4] of these Sentinels, while the telep...
