Cave Village, Expert (Patreon)

Hi again, Experts and Masters! This week's map is the Cave Village (25x25), a small portion of a scattered village in a rocky, mushroom and crystal filled terrain. I made it in response to the many requests for Underdark villages that I've received over the years, but never had a plan for how to execute on it. Let me know if you like where this is going, I'll see about building up the setting some more in future maps.

Your extra versions of this map are Subterranean and Subdued! Subterranean is a more blue and green recoloring, with higher-contrast lighting and a greater range of colors. I wanted this one to feel 'deeper' than the original map, with less natural lighting so it'll feel a little more alien.

The Subdued version is as you might expect, much less colorful than the rest. I was tempted to name this one differently, because really it came together halfway into an attempt to make the map feel more 'Wild West', that is to say dusty and grim. When I had finished however, I realized that I had essentially made yet another Subdued map, so what can I say?
