    Default Forest Lake

    A while ago, I did a bunch of maps for the Moonscar module. One of my favorites of the batch was the dark, spooky lake surrounded by demonic forest and underbrush.

    Sadly, I never got to use it! My player bypassed that entire area.

    Ah, but soon my player will come to a terrestrial lake with a more normal environment. So rather than start all over, I pulled out my moon lake, added some grass and some rocks and cattails and a bunch of color adjustments, and here it is, with and without grid:

    The grid is 100px to the five-foot square. The rocks, cattails, trees and underbrush came from the Dundjinni forums (though they've been modded a bit). The textures are all from cgtextures, except for the wonderful water texture which came from a CertainRandomGuy's imgur album of water textures. Seriously, check those out, they're awesome.

    Wow, you're right, the water texture is really great! I hope your players will enjoy fighting at this nice lake. though I like the colours of the old map, too, it's a good adaption to more earthly regions. I especially like the rocks at the bottom of the lake sticking out of the water and the shading indicating the depth. Which software did you use?

    Yeah the water is exceptional. At first glance i thought it was actual water lol. I really like the way you laid everything out it makes it feel natural all the way down to the slight shadowing around the brush. I hope your players appreciate the map and have fun within it.

    Nice! Good map to have in my library for the next time I have a lakeside encounter.

    And thanks for the link to the water textures. More good resources.
