$34
Do you love unrolling a classic hand-drawn map of a tavern or inn during a campaign and taking in the details of tables full of tankards, roaring fireplaces, and mysterious items like a broken sword tucked behind a bookcase? But creating something like that on your own can take days, if not weeks, not to mention the time it takes to actually learn how to draw everything in the first place if you are not artistic.
Fortunately, I spent 400+ hours hand-drawing over 450 brushes and features so you do not have to! With the Inn & Tavern Map Builder you can quickly lay out walls, swap between different floor styles, and fill your map with details like secret doors, cozy beds, bar counters, kegs, stables, stage areas for bards, and so much more!

Gather for Adventure
Designing a richly detailed inn or tavern for your campaign isn’t just fun, it breathes life into the setting for both players and game masters. These spaces are more than backdrops; they’re crossroads of stories, secrets, and unexpected encounters. Having a map of the place where adventurers gather, rest, and plot their next move adds a level of immersion that pulls everyone deeper into the world you’re creating.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Quickly Craft Maps for Your Story
It’s one thing to sketch out a quick floor plan for a tavern on the corner of a notebook, but it’s a whole other challenge if you want it to look like a richly illustrated, hand-drawn map. Capturing all the details, wooden beams, stone hearths, staircases, tables, beds, and all the little features that make an inn feel alive can take dozens of hours if you try to draw it all yourself. That’s why I’ve invested over 400 hours creating every brush in the Inn & Tavern Map Builder, so you can design a professional, hand-drawn map in my style with just a fraction of the effort. That way, you can spend less time grinding through artwork and more time weaving stories, worldbuilding, or adventuring with your players.
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.
450x Unique Brushes
With over 450x brushes included, you’ll find plenty of variety to create a full interior map to immerse people in the environment you’ve created.
Create Maps in the style of Josh Stolarz
“I’m often contacted by people looking for a custom map for their role playing campaign or novel. Unfortunately, I have to turn many away since a fully commissioned map is usually outside their budget. That’s why I created Map Builders for Dungeons, Cities, and Regional Maps. Now, I’m thrilled to expand the collection with an Inn & Tavern interior maps.

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 Inn & Tavern 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.
