city/town was the tag I used for this one

town does not appear to be merged with city/town

apparently city did not merge into city/town?
or if it did then both exist? test test test

Free D&D Battle Maps from the Community

It's so easy to get going. I actually make maps instead of procrastinating.

If you are a game or level designer, or just a fan of RPGs, go for it now!

DS lets me put something together that looks good without the time required by something hand-drawn.

I'm bad at drawing, but this really helped me.

Before, I'd just copy/paste. Now I make everything custom, and with Pro sub, I own the rights for commercial use.

If you want an easy-to-use map creator, try it.

As someone who is starting a campaign soon, this looks like it would be an amazing tool to have.

Coming from someone who has drawn maps like this for the last 15 years… Beautiful! Incredible work!

Great tool for unprepared Dungeon Masters!

Dungeon Scrawl is legitimately one of the dopest things I’ve seen enter the TTRPG space in a while.

I might not be a GM if it weren't for Dungeon Scrawl.

It's literally perfect for casual DMs who just want to hop into the program and immediately start making stuff.

Amazing tool. It's so fun and easy to use, and I’m not even into Dungeon Design.

I use this all the time! Thank you for making such a useful tool not just for DMs but for world builders in general!

I really like Dungeon Scrawl for quick map-making.

I refuse to use any other battlemap software for my home games. I HIGHLY recommend you try Dungeon Scrawl if you haven't already!

Ok, this is the coolest thing I've seen in a hot minute.

Featured Maps Showcase

Browse free D&D maps made by the Dungeon Scrawl community for D&D, Pathfinder, Shadowdark, and more. From dungeon maps and battle maps to taverns, caves, forests, castles, and cities… every fantasy map is built on a grid and ready to download for virtual tabletops like Roll20, Foundry VTT and Owlbear Rodeo, or to print for your next game night. With a Dungeon Scrawl Pro account, you can download high-resolution versions and open any map in the editor to make it your own.

Free D&D castle maps for sieges, royal intrigue and haunted keeps, made and shared by the Dungeon Scrawl community. Every map is built on a grid, ready to download for Roll20, Foundry VTT or Owlbear Rodeo, or print for the table.

A good castle map gives your players choices: a gatehouse to storm, walls to scale, a throne room to crash and a back way out through the kitchens or cellars. Look for maps with multiple floors and secret passages if your party likes to sneak instead of fight.

Free D&D cave maps for goblin warrens, dragon lairs and Underdark descents, made and shared by the Dungeon Scrawl community. Every map is built on a grid, ready to download for Roll20, Foundry VTT or Owlbear Rodeo, or print for the table.

Caves are at their best when they’re cramped and uneven. Look for maps with narrow chokepoints, ledges at different heights, and water that cuts the party off from an easy retreat. A few dead ends and one hidden tunnel will keep your players guessing.

Free D&D forest maps for roadside ambushes, fey groves and hunts through the deep woods, made and shared by the Dungeon Scrawl community. Every map is built on a grid, ready to download for Roll20, Foundry VTT or Owlbear Rodeo, or print for the table.

Forest encounters work best with plenty of cover and rough terrain. Look for maps with dense undergrowth, fallen logs, a stream to cross and a clearing where the fight can spill out. Trees that block line of sight make ranged attackers and stealthy monsters far more dangerous.

Free tavern and inn maps for bar brawls, shady deals and the start of every great adventure, made and shared by the Dungeon Scrawl community for D&D, Pathfinder, and other TTRPGs. Every map is built on a grid, ready to download for Roll20, Foundry VTT or Owlbear Rodeo, or print for the table.

A tavern map earns its keep when trouble starts. Look for multiple exits, a bar to vault over, an upstairs gallery and a back room where the real business happens. Rentable rooms on a second floor turn a quick stop into a night-time ambush.

Free D&D town and village maps for market days, festivals and chases through the streets, made and shared by the Dungeon Scrawl community. Every map is built on a grid, ready to download for Roll20, Foundry VTT or Owlbear Rodeo, or print for the table.

A good town map is a hub your players will come back to. Look for a clear town square, a temple, a smithy and a tavern within easy reach, plus alleys for chases and rooftops for thieves. A village is quicker to run: a handful of homes, a mill and one road out where trouble arrives.
