Here’s another sytem neutral map in case disaster strikes while your party travels overland!
River in a Mountainous Landscape – III
Send the PCs further through the mountains: Along the river through a narrow, gloomy gorge into a wide glittering lake, sheltered by steep, seemingly insurmountable cliffs. Or by the land route, to explore the high plateau… and finally to rappel down the cliffs to the cold and crystal clear water…

When to use our maps
GM: It’s getting late… soon the pale sun will vanish behind the tall, dark trees.
Player: Ok, as we go along, we watch out for a suitable place to make camp!
GM: After a while you come by a small glade surrounded by …
Hours later…a heinous foe attacks the group! The players frown on a hastily sketched chart of the aforementioned glade and their campground now, searching for a likely place to hide, to run for or to stand their ground. Wouldn’t it be grand to be able to produce a nice map of this surprisingly hot spot?
Our maps are timeless, culture-free and system neutral, and can be played on or populated by elves, agents, aliens, SWAT teams and, of course, any human hero of any epoch whatsoever. They show typical – and sometimes not so typical – outdoor locations for your RPG: Areas of 1500 by 1500 feet for projection and printing; that is, more than 50 acres of terrain for fight or flight. They answer needs like:
- “Is there any place we can land the boats safely and climb the rocks?”
- “Up the road comes a small grove, we will regroup there at noon!”
- “We follow the river until we find more shallow waters to cross safely…”
- “Between the trees you spot a crag that rises above the canopy…” – “Great, we climb it for a better view!”
