Fairly new GM here (only been a year) and I have only run premade adventures so I haven't had to worry too much about maps. This one however is for a high level one shot and I wasn't able to find anything that hit the same vibe I was aiming for. So now I made my first real map!
I know the map is large but I didn't want to constrain movement since the BBEG has a fairly massive AOE attack (90' cone) that would make a more reasonably sized map feel too tight to avoid it. And on top of that, the only things that will be fought in here are gargantuan which also leads to a bit of the map being taken up at a time. It has ruined structures in the corners that offer cover, 3 fallen stalactites to offer elevation. I tried to do some shading to show the light from the lava too. Any feedback is welcome! Trying to learn both map design and aesthetics is hard to do at the same time but we're getting there.
