New Map Pack – Necromancer’s Lair

Cover for fantasy map pack of the Necromancer's lair dungeon battlemapIt’s the first of the month, and that means a new Fantastic Maps map pack, in partnership with Kobold Quarterly! This month we go dark and dungeon-y with a Necromancer’s Lair. The map shows a large underground room with spiked pits, rubble, raised platforms, gargoyle statues and magic circles.

The battlemap was originally created for an article in Kobold Quarterly #13 on alternative structures for combat encounters – and was used to illustrate a ‘capture the flag’ style encounter, written by Matthew Hanson. The PCs must navigate obstacles and foes to ‘liberate’ the necromancer’s orb and make it out alive. With this battlemap you can play the encounter as written, or use it for your own dark ends.
