Hey map hunters! The Underdark Drow Manor is complete!

See the lineup above! And here's a side-view:

We decided instead of creating variations this week that we'd add more floors instead. Being in the Underdark, day and night versions just didn't make much sense... So we've created a giant stalagmite that you can battle your way through, with 11 floors altogether! 

$1 tier gets the manor itself, the $3 tier extends down into the ballroom, stables and fighting pit and the $5+ tiers get the servants quarters, slave prison, bat and fungi farms, and the entrance hall which is guarded by a giant Jade Spider. For $5 tier we also included a token of the Jade Spider in case you want to battle it elsewhere or have it chase your players.

So for those at Master Cartographer tier and higher you'll get the whole stalagmite which we've laid out as a dungeon your party can battle through. Battle past the jade spider guardian through to the kobold and goblin slaves, the lowly drow workers, the monsters in the fighting pits and up into the high drow family, Lolth cultists and finally the high priestess of Lolth herself. Some floors are accessible by stairs, others via magic elevators and some have balconies, in case you're rappelling down or you have a bat mount to fly you in. I'll be writing up a campaign sheet in the next few days with ideas on how to run these maps for your players.

These are the grid dimensions for the various floors:

  • 10x11 High Priestess Room
  • 16x16 Shrine Room
  • 20x20 Nobility Living Quarters
  • 30x26 Drow Ballroom 
  • 22x22 Fighting Pits 
  • 23x25 Fighting Stables 
  • 25x23 Servants Quarters 
  • 24x24 Bat and Guano Farm 
  • 25x24 Fungi Farm 
  • 26x26 Slave Prison 
  • 26x24 Entrance Hall

And in other news we've had some supporters say that they receive too many emails from Patreon and don't like it. Unfortunately we can't do anything about that on our end BUT here's the instructions for managing what you do and don't get emailed about: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002984566-How-do-I-manage-my-email-notifications-

If you want to receive less emails I'd suggest only turning on the 'paid content only' emails, that way you won't be notified of community polls, process gifs and other posts but you'll still be notified each week when we release the map pack and the weekly map poll that goes with it. If you have any questions about any of that or other Patreon issues, send us a message. :)

Absolutely amazing content, thank you so much! And no, I do not receive too many emails from you. Instead my take on is that your emails all add value and I really look forward to them

Tehox

Awesome, great work

Jenn

This is better than anything I could have imagined, thank you so much! I'm so glad you included the spider stables and the fight pit, and the structure with it all being inside a stalagmite column is amazing. I love it!

Patrick

This is probably my favorite map of yours yet! Amazing! They may be in the zip file but do you have grid dimensions for the maps? (I haven't downloaded my zip file rewards yet.)

Hi Patrick, I just updated the post with a list of the grid dimensions, thanks for reminding me!

Thanks Tehox. Glad to see your maps coming along. Your Morbennhavor map was really cool.

Glad to hear that Eckart. We had a few patrons leave and cite that as their reason, so I just wanted to inform everyone. I don't receive emails from Patron for my own posts so I don't actually know how many get sent out...

So glad to hear that Jenny! The fighting pit and stables was too good of an idea not to include, thanks for that suggestion. The ballroom too! If you have any other maps in mind, feel free to suggest them! Who knows, you might keep winning the polls.

Are these maps for virtual tabletop, or can they be printed out?

Impressive Maps!

This 100% gives me a setting for my final showdown with Lolth, excellent work!

Hello! You mentioned in this that you'd be writing up a campaign sheet with ideas on how to run these maps. Was that ever accomplished, and, if so, where can I find that? Thanks in advance!

Hi, it was including in the $10 pack here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/drow-underdark-26096233

Looks awesome! It would be great to get the side view without labels so I can show my players! 🙏🏼

czepeku

Unfortunately that's the only version of the side view there is. I suppose we should redraw it properly without the labels one day.
