We’ve just released the October Annual for subscribers to download: A beautiful map style inspired by classic fiction treasure maps. It allows users to easily create handouts for their game and set their players on the trail of that elusive treasure hoard.

Inspired by the Geomorphic dungeons of Dave’s Mapper and the idea of vertical dungeon maps by Stonewerk on his blog, I created a set of geomorphic dungeon tiles for the August Annual complete with the style and tools to draw your own.

EDIT: The style was inspired by the images posted on the ProFantasy Community Forum, which I mistakenly thought came from Stonewerk’s Blog. The proper source is Dyson Logos’s blog “A Character for Every Game“. Sorry for the mistake and thanks for the great inspiration!

Here is my complete example map for Issue 56 of the Cartographer’s Annual (click image for a larger view):

Floorplan Symbols Example

Well of Elemental Water


The February issue of the Annual 2011 is now available. It provides a huge selection of dungeon and battlemap symbols for use in DD3. The number of individual symbols comes to a staggering 1500 – making the download larger than most of our full products. Community member Joachim de Ravenbel created the objects in Pov-ray and exported their top-down view as high-resolution bitmaps. We took those, created CC3 symbols from them and sorted them into catalogs for easy in use in CC3/DD3.
