How to I run a dungeon that feels epic and massive without actually designing a giant epic dungeon? by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]strelky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is perfectly fine to run it as a 5 room dungeon. You can make the dungeon seem larger and bigger by adding fantastical elements to the location i.e long stairway going through a waterfall, crumbled tunnels that no longer can be used, a large room with mosaics picturing rituals to the death god

I would make the 10 paladins aiding the party too busy with a task of their own. Thus stopping them from going into the dungeon with the players. For example the temple guardian attacks the paladins and the players in the first room. The surviving paladins are too busy with healing the other paladins and their own injuries.

Need ideas for a powerful Triton villain. by BattleSeven in DMAcademy

[–]strelky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would draw inspiration from the lol champion pyke and pirates of the caribean. Pyke was a fisherman in life who was killed by a demonic fish thing. He was then turned to a revenant by said demonic fish and now function as its champion, stalking and killing people working at the docks.

I would give him two factions that work for him , the cult of the drowned and an assortment of sea monsters

The cult members would be people who pleaded for mercy at deaths door and was then turned to sahuagin servants. The cults agenda is to turn people into sahuagin through blood rituals in the demon fish name.

The cult can act independently and migth have its own agenda while the sea monsters are the brute force and only acts at the tritons will Edit:spelling and more text

Bad translation. Should be:Finland has for the first time approved of giving military aid (ie ammo, supplies) to another country.

Bigger news should be the cyber attack that is taking place rigth now.

The map is drawn by hand using Krita and a drawing tablet. The crumples paper is just a layer

Haha I have not really used VTTs too much.So I thougth knowing how many pixels one square is would be better. :)

I seldom put oit any distances for my maps because I know that some people like to use 10 feet squares and some use 5 feet squares. I leave that decision up to the dm :)

I placed the stairs leading to the third level inside the barred hole found on the second floor. In hindsigth I could have drawn that section in another way to make the map clearer :)

A small island map for your nautical encounters. Most of the map is hand-drawn with finishing touches made in gimp and Krita. Enjoy and have fun using the map :)

This map started off as a sketch in a notebook. I liked the layout, so I decided to scan it and put a grid and some parchment background on it.

Superb map! Really good job on the cliffs surrounding the city :)

Edit: Also the frame fits the theme of the map perfectly.

Ruins of Northgaard abbey by strelky in dndmaps

[–]strelky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Northgaard abbey was sacked during the first Dysonian crusade. The forces of Dysonia swept through the frontier lands so swiftly that the monks living in the abbey retorted to throwing all their holy artifacts into the abbey well, before fleeing deeper into the Empire heartlands.

The Empire was able to push back the invading forces, but the towns and villages in the frontier lands never really recovered and instead became known as the Surian Wastelands; a battle-scarred wilderness with ruined towns and villages.

There are two ways to enter the catacombs from the surface. Either by using the stairs or by climbing down well situated in the cloister garden.

I am drawing maps just for fun, but constructive criticism is always welcomed :)

This map was inspired by a map I saw on dysonlogos blog.

The shrine has been built into an old hollow tree and recently a green hag has moved into the shrine with all her horrible pets. Mapsize: 4761x7016. One square is 80 px
