We Make Maps Worth Fighting Over
Black Lantern Forge is a small team of lifelong Dungeons & Dragons players who got tired of settling for mediocre maps.
We know what it feels like to sit down at a table with a blurry, generic map and try to convince your players that yes, this tavern is actually dangerous. That this dungeon is actually ancient. That this city actually has a soul.
So we built the maps we always wanted.
Every map pack we create is designed for DMs who care about immersion — detailed enough to tell a story on its own, clean enough to actually play on, and built to work straight out of the box whether you're on Roll20, Foundry, or a table with real dice.
What We Make
We create high-quality digital map packs and DnD resources for dungeon masters who take their craft seriously — battle maps, dungeon and cave maps, town and tavern maps, and DnD tools and handouts that make running games easier.
Everything we ship is built to a standard we'd actually use at our own table. If it doesn't clear that bar, it doesn't go in the store.
Built by Players, for Players
We're not a faceless print shop. We're a team of DnD players who have spent years on both sides of the screen — as dungeon masters who needed great maps and couldn't find them, and as creators who decided to make them instead.
That background shapes everything we make. We build maps that work in actual play, not just look good in a preview image.
