Last month, as part of the RPG Carnival’s focus on RPG Cartography, I posted a simple step-by-step process of how I draw a dungeon using one of my sideview maps.
Dyson Mapping "Tutorial" Final
But of course, I couldn’t just finish it like that. So after posting that tutorial I finished drawing out the full dungeon while watching the last few episodes of Star Trek: TNG season 1. So here is the final result of that.
As always, if you want to use this in your own games, please feel free – just give me a link back and note that the image is mine and used under license. In fact, I encourage you to also post the keyed and stocked version that you used (in any system) and I’ll link to it.
Dyson, that is truely amazing, I am always impressed with how you can take one drawing and turn it into a complete, multi-level map. Not only that, the aesthetics of all your work just blows me away. It always is just so pleasing on the eye. Keep up the phenomenal work my friend.
I have just the project that can benefit from this! Most deliciously inspiring!
Just thought I would say this really inspires me. I love the side view of the dungeon and attached with the traditional view. I intend to use it heavily in my next fantasy game!
Great stuff!
I will use this once my players advance to 2:nd level.
From this first glance I reckon some 1:st level humanoids live in A, and they`re afraid of what lives in the forest (actually in E), and that thing sleeps behind E´s only door, because what lives in the lake in D sometimes come up to eat.
LOVE it, Viking.

I’ve been following your blogs and just can’t get enough of the beautiful maps. I decided to use this one for a “traditional” dungeon-crawl for my group of level three adventurers using Pathfinder rules. So far, entering from the forest end, they’ve faced an unlucky band of goblins, two darkmantles that developed a particular liking of the group’s monk, a violet fungus, and then an abandoned cockatrice test-subject in the arcane laboratory at E.
Thanks a bunch!
Finally got around to linking to your awesome maps. I’ve been running a AD&D 1ed game in Greyhawk for a while now and I used your map in a mash up of “The Lost Temple of Pelor” by Andrew Hay. Not sure how wordpress allows links so here’s the direct link http://mageofthestripedtower.blogspot.com/2011/11/lost-temple-of-pelor.html. I do have you linked at the bottom of the post (along with Andrew). Let me know if any of this needs to be modified.
Other than that, a great big thanks for all your great maps.
Cheers.

This one sort of reminds me of part of a scene from the comicbook that I can’t seem to remember or find the title of… It was a blonde woman crime fighter, not super powers, just rampant curiocity and a .45 automatic. But the begining storyline had her break up a smuggling ring in a natural cave with ocean access under a mansion…
