Thread: Commissioning a Dungeon Map for publishing in 5e

    Post Commissioning a Dungeon Map for publishing in 5e

    Hi there! I'm an amateur game designer, looking to publish my first module on DM's Guild for D&D 5e. While I have the writing down cold, I don't consider myself much of an artist or cartographer, so I'm looking for a mapmaker to make sure the dungeon gets the proper treatment it and the readers deserve!

    There are 2 main parts this project breaks down to:

    1. An exterior encounter crossing a river moat to the dungeon entrance, leading into the dungeon itself, which is a fairly basic layout

    2. The penultimate and final encounters, consisting of several individual chambers that aren't connected directly and a final hub room.


    Design-wise, I'm looking for a top down battlegrid view in color, at least for part 1 and the final room of part 2. Further specifications and access to the rough design doc will be provided on interest in the project. Rates are negotiable though generally I would looking to pay half on commission and half on completion of the map(s). While not a hard deadline, I would like to have this completed in the next few weeks so I can begin final layout of the module document for publishing within the next month.

    If you'd like further details, please reach out and I'd be happy to discuss things further!

    I'd be interested in working with you. You can find my fantasy map D&D 5E maps here, as well as maps for other games, books, and more. Due to the module not being released yet, not all of my dungeon grid maps are released. Check out this demonic dungeon and also this hell landscape and this witch's den in a tree, all of which were designed for a module (but not available publicly in my portfolio yet).

    Thank you all so much for the replies! I'll be getting in touch in the next couple days to do consults and get quotes and figure out who the best fit's going to be. (Normally I'd prefer to be more prompt, but I'm working overnight for the next couple weeks so I apologize if there's a slight gap in communications
