Do you love pouring over a classic hand-drawn dungeon map during a campaign and seeing the different rooms to explore and items to loot? But, creating something like that can take days if not weeks…and that doesn’t even include the time investment of learning how to draw in the first place.
Fortunately, I spent 300+ hours hand-drawing over 400 brushes and features so you didn’t have to! With the Dungeon Map Builder you can quickly combine walls, swap between different styles of floors, and add items your players can interact with like a hidden trap door, medieval suits of armor, a torture rack, weapons, traps, old scrolls, and much much more!
Here’s What You’ll Get:
400+ Hand-illustrated brushes by Josh Stolarz
2x style of walls with 70x brushes each to create a unique layout for your encounter.
Seamless brushes for grids, floors, hatching, and stone texture.

Map the Environment for Adventure
Creating a well-crafted dungeon map for your campaign is not only a lot of fun, but it enhances the experience for the players as well as the game master. Being able to pour over a relic of the environment you’re exploring adds a level of depth that immerses everyone deeper into the story.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Quickly Craft Maps for Your Story
It’s one thing to quickly sketch out some room shapes on a piece of graph paper, but it’s a whole other thing if you want your map to have professionally hand-drawn illustrations for the walls, floors, not to mention all the features you could include in a dungeon map. If you’ve ever attempted to draw a full dungeon like this, you’ve probably realize it can easily take 50+ hours. Fortunately for you, I invested 300+ hours drawing every brush included in the Dungeon Map Builder, so you can create a professional looking map of your own and spend more time worldbuilding, writing, or spending time at the table with your friends.
Make High Quality Prints of Your Map
Each brush was created from high-resolution illustrations so you can make prints of your map as large as you want without losing quality.
400x Unique Brushes
With over 400x brushes included, you’ll find plenty of variety to create a full dungeon map to immerse people in the environment you’ve created.
Create Maps in the style of Josh Stolarz
“I’m frequently approached by people who are interested in commissioning a map for their role playing campaign or novel. Sadly, I have to turn many away because a custom map is just not within their budget. I created the Map Effects Fantasy Map Builder and the City Map Builder so anyone would be able to create a hand-drawn map of their own in my style with just a few clicks and a little imagination. Now, I’m excited to expand the map builder collection to include Dungeon Maps!”

“These brushes are absolutely fantastic! Effectively equipping me with endless possibilities regarding what I can draw. Looking forward to drawing my next dungeon map!”

FAQ
-
You may use the assets in this pack for commercial projects such as a map to include in a fantasy novel, or for marketing and branding for a client; as long as you credit “The Map Effects Dungeon Map Builder” for the original illustrations. But, as the map designer you will retain full rights to the original design itself. You may not resell or redistribute the assets in this pack in any way, including the creation of a physical version of the map builder or digital tile sets.
-
While GIMP and some other drawing apps will import the .abr file designed for Photoshop, you will need to modify the stamp brushes regarding their scale. Other modifications will also need to be made for the drawing brushes and seamless pattern brushes for floors, grids, & hatching in order to replicate how they would function in Photoshop.
-
There is a way to convert Photoshop brushes (.abr) to .png files, which would allow you to import the stamp brush illustrations into Wonderdraft. But, you will need to do a search online and determine what you feel would be the best method, as it requires a third party app. The drawing brushes, seamless floor brushes, and border brushes likely will not work, however.
