Old Stone Bridge | 30x40

Hello all, and happy New Release Monday! Today, I am releasing an outdoor encounter map called "Old Stone Bridge".
Outdoor maps are so versatile, and I wanted to create a generic location that can be dropped into any campaign as a quick map to use for a bridge encounter.
This was inspired by a scene from BG3, and I constantly find myself amazed by their art teams' 3D environments, which I find incredibly inspirational. Can't wait to do some spooky forest inspired by the Shadowlands!
I made this map in two core variants: one with the bridge over the top and the other without the bridge sections, so you can place tokens under the bridge as well as over it. I wanted this map to have a lot of verticality so you can have encounters both above and below in the ravine.
On the right side of the map, there is a small slope that can easily access the ravine, but it is a sheer rocky face on the other side. Down the right side is a muddy trail that accesses a small brook cutting through the left side of the ravine.
I placed most of the trees on the edges of the map so as not to dominate too much real estate for token placement, but still give a wild and overgrown forest feel.
The color moods available on this transform the map, and "Sunny Day" is perfect for a campaign like Lost Mines, whereas the "Gloom" color mood is perfect for the dark forests of Barovia (This would be a great bridge to put outside of the Village of Barovia, for example).
Additionally, while I don't normally do weather overlays with the "no lights" version, given the wild and untamed nature of this bridge, I thought it was more apt to include fog and rain along with unlit braziers to give a more frontier feel to it. So this time, you'll find weather effects applied to the unlit versions of the dark maps (like gloom and night).

Thank you all for your continued support of my craft! I find myself constantly inspired by your kind words and hearing of you gathering your groups around the table (both physically and virtually) to share in the art of storytelling. No matter the game you play, you GMs are doing such a valuable service by keeping our communities alive and thriving.
