Welcome to the Challenge Styescape! Thanks for starting it off.
Looking forward to a great battlemap!
I decided to go with a classic dungeon map. Here is a very first start:

The basic idea is that an old crypt is used as hideout by a witch, who cursed the whole location by spreading some cursed items in different rooms. The quest would be to kill the witch and find and destroy all items. How that will end in a map, we`ll see

Very nice!
Super nice! My favourite one in the challenge so far.
Gotta love cursed items, hidden passages and traps; reminds me of those old, difficult but fun to play games.

Thank you mapmage and Kisachik for your kind words!
The map itself is ready but I'm trying some very different styles at the moment. So here's something with a "bone paint" styled background

Hi again!
The background is a cool idea, but takes away a lot of readability from the map itself and especially the bottom text. I would try overlaying a dark, uniform background on top of the bones and play around with the opacity to find a good balance. Also that addition of extra dark might give it a more sinister feel.
If you prefer it as it is, at least a dark rectangle as background for the lower text would be a nice addition.

I like the bone background, but I agree with Kisachik's advice. Go a little darker / more sinister!

Thanks again guys! Your ideas were very helpful again and I now have something more sinister I think
