Megalith Gate [45x60]
Hey everyone!
We wanted to capture the feeling of a bleak, weird, frigid, alien planet with this one. We wanted it to feel like the world was sloping in on itself in unnatural ways. The main alien structure in the map is a portal that expands and opens in 5 parts. But you can also use it for anything you like: an ancient computer, a weird magical artefact, an object of spiritual importance, an astronomical clock, and so on.
This is a really big map and we made a lot of variations. Most follow the theme or weird worlds but there's a lot of snowy ones too, hopefully a bunch of these you can use for planar and hellish encounters.
We made this map as a tie-in for our Hyperdrive Fleet project. If you haven't seen it yet, please go check it out! It's a sister project to Czepeku Maps where we make sci-fi (rather than fantasy) maps!
We launched it 6 months ago and have been focusing on spaceships and space stations so far but in 2023 we'll be expanding to all sorts of planet-side sci-fi maps, trains, drones, mechs, and more! If you run a campaign like that, please take a look at Hyperdrive Fleet. :)
Next month for Czepeku we'll be back with the Nightmare Dragon Lair, Alchemical Dungeon, Underdark Caves, and Nymph Fountain!

I just love that there is a End of Everything map that is basically just a black rectangle :D
gosh those are some awesome maps for my Starfinder game. My Roll20 group is now every 2 weeks, one night is 5e and one night is Starfinder(ish)
This is a fantastic generic ambiance for planar adventures: Mineral, Earth, Ice, Lava, Shadow, Ether, Steam... everything serviced with good recolors. Congratulations.
How frequent are the releases generally on Hyperdive Fleet-you know, on average, or the mean?
We aim for 5 per month. Generally it's been 4 or 5. It'll never be more than 5. It's all sci-fi content though, so only sign up if you're playing a space faring type game. :)
Wish the ring was in the other terrain too, the lava one would be perfect for my home game with that.
having the various phases of the gate as a separate .png would be cool...
Am I the only one bothered by the lack of phase 4?
I believe the first one is meant to be phase 4!
I second @Zotyc's ask - having the phased gates as standalone assets for placements, either in other maps, or in smaller versions leading to this map, would be awesome.
This is great! Are the gates themselves available as assets to place into the other variations of the map so we can do phased battles on the variations too?
Anyone else find it quite hard to navigate what is going on in this map? Specifically with elevation and where the floor starts and ends?
Hey Charles, sorry to hear that. It's very difficult to do sloping hills from top down, especially as we wanted the world to feel a bit weird and undulating. Sorry it's difficult to navigate.
Amazing map, could have definitely used a single crab
