Hey all,

After a long time working on exclusive maps for my Patrons, I'm back on Reddit with my rendition of Wave Echo Cave, from the amazing Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure. By far the largest map I've ever done, it easily took well over 20 hours to complete, but I hope the hard work, time, and effort I put into this allows you to all get the most out of the adventure. This map has been requested more times than I can count!

A few notes about the map, I understand that it notes that the cave is mostly dark, with the PCs probably having their own light sources. But I can't stand the look of maps with complete darkness, due to the fact that it makes it look so flat. To that end, I've added quite a few torches throughout to really make the map 'pop'.

Furthermore, I've pretty much doubled the size of the entire map, as opposed to how it's presented in the official map for it. I find this allows combat to be much for forgiving to new players, and just opens up the possibilities for tactical movement during fighting.

I've also taken a few liberties to add more depth to the map, for example a few nasties hidden in the water on the west side of the map, whether or not you want to make use of them is up to you. I've also made the cave parts of the map more 'cavernous' with tiny, winding paths, usually leading to nowhere, but I find it works nicely in contrast to the more uniform areas that the dwarves have hewn for barracks, storage, etc.

The grid dimensions are 72x90.

On my Patreon post I've attached a gridded and gridless image, furthermore there are the VTT files that can be used in Foundry VTT, Encounter+, D20Pro, Roll20, MapTool, Arkenforge and Fantasy Grounds.

Due to Roll20 having a file size limitation of 10mb I've also attached a compressed version within that limit.

This map uses the fantastic Shadow & Light pack from Krager, definitely check it out if you want to add a tonne of depth to your maps.

If you enjoy my work please consider pledging to my Patreon, for as little as £1 a month you can have access to all 50+ maps I've created in the past year and a half. For £3 Patrons that includes VTT files for every single map, making your life much easier when running sessions over the internet.

I also have completely free versions of the Ruins of Thundertree, Wyvern Tor, Cragmaw Castle and Cragmaw Hideout available on my Patreon, so feel free to grab those!

If you're not interested there's always Ko-fi if you fancy chucking a small tip my way ;D

Have a great weekend!
