These visual aids are cartographic representations of the various locations encountered within a specific Dungeons & Dragons adventure module. They are designed to be provided to participants, allowing them to navigate the game world and make informed decisions about their characters’ actions. An example would be a rendering of the Cragmaw Hideout, showing its various rooms, passages, and potential hazards as discovered by the players.
The utilization of these resources enhances engagement and provides a tangible connection to the narrative. They aid in spatial awareness, strategic planning, and collaborative decision-making. Historically, simplified versions were often hand-drawn by Dungeon Masters, but modern iterations benefit from digital rendering, increased accuracy, and enhanced visual clarity.
