Popular Dungeon map making kit

Is there a really popular kit from the market for making dungeons? There are so many and I want to get one to design with but can't decide which to get.

There are several on the marketplace, this is very true. If you're having trouble deciding, you might just want to go with whichever set you find the most visually appealing. Or you might want to grab whichever set that you find will give you the most utility. Some sets give a variety of room shapes where others might have more props/terrain features.

While I cannot determine how popular they are, as I have no tools to compare my sales to those of any other content creator, I do have a few dungeon map set available, and they appear to sell well enough for me to hope that they are "popular". I made them generic enough that they can fit a variety of game systems and settings, and each of the dungeon sets were made depending upon how much additional work you wanted to put into campaign creation. "Generic Dungeon Maps" are complete floors that can be dropped as a whole map for a dungeon level. They include stairs to give a clear determination of where a transition to another map should occur, with appropriate lighting to determine if the stairs ascend (toward the light) or descend (into the darkness). <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/102/gene" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/102/gene</a>... "Generic Dungeon Maps 2" are tiles containing a number of dungeon rooms in each tile, and they can be combined to create more massive dungeons. Additionally, they were drawn with the same scale and many of the same textures as the previous set, allowing combination. <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/199/gene" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/199/gene</a>... "Generic Dungeon Rooms and Bits" contains more 'man-made' rooms, as opposed to the rougher previous dungeons. The scale was all kept the same, so that all three sets can be used together. They were constructed in a way that requires the most work to create a dungeon. <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/263/gene" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/263/gene</a>...

I'm just going to +1 the gentlemen above me. The Marketplace has an embarrassment of riches. Best of all: Here's two fine folks on the forum who you can talk to about what you'd like to see from them in the future. It's pretty incredible to have that kind of access to people in the community, and is one of the things that makes Roll20 so great.

Hey! Someone just charged a copy of those three items onto my credit card! err four now... Okay, my weak attempt at humor so late in the day. Last week I spent hours drawing a dungeon and putting details like the floors in. I could have done it all in one evening if I would have had these already. Time versus money...

Here's also my DropBox full of additional free maps, with the dungeon bits made to the same scale as the ones provided in the Marketplace: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/adn040gdiiq0h5l/AADpqu2axzBw47ajxZSBHJh-a?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/sh/adn040gdiiq0h5l/AADpqu2axzBw47ajxZSBHJh-a?dl=0</a>

Hi Hellenic, If you haven't yet chosen from this great selection of artists, let me throw my hat in with my DungeonArts stuff. All Dungeon Blanks tile-sets 1-3 and Dungeon Elements props 1-4 are designed to work together and are built so you can dress the tiles how you like. The tiles are all 6x6 and are perfect for quick builds, the props are scaled for the sets with enough resolution should you want to make them bigger. DungeonArts on the Marketplace No matter who you choose, enjoy your game and thanks for supporting Roll20 and the marketplace! Happy Gaming Grey
Thanks for all the replies folks. I picked up 2 dungeon sets made by Greg Taylor. Bought and used them before you even posted!. They are good sets
Pardon the shameless plug, but I'm a new artist (well, new to Roll20) and my Dungeon-On-Demand tile packs are on the marketplace. They're sets of 24 interchangeable tiles that can be used to create whatever layout the DM wants, and they all fit with one another, so HUGE DUNGEONS. I'd love feedback from anyone who uses them in-game!

As a matter of interest when you say your tilesets have sold enough to be popular how many sales have you had, in rough figures? A few, dozens, hundreds? I'm thinking of trying my hand at making some things for the marketplace and it would be interesting to know how much beer money it might generate!

I'm not sure about anyone else being comfortable with sharing their numbers, but here's some estimates based on my own sales. If someone thinks this is in bad taste, or if the Roll20 staff have an issue with the following information being shared, please send me a message and I'll remove it. Generally I make around 50 sales a month of all my products combined. I have 6 sets available for download. I don't exactly have any other data to compare it against, but the sales from Roll20 alone pay for my gaming hobbies. Generic Wasteland Maps sells the least, with anywhere between 0 and 1 sales. I understand why, as it's set for a very niche gaming focus, being post-apocalyptic sci-fi/modern. The one that sells the most is always the Generic Forest Maps , which accounts for slightly less than half the sales. Oddly, it was also one of the first sets I've done. The other four sets sell a few units here and there, and bring in a couple dollars every month. When I first started out, each map/tile would take me about 2+ hours. After doing it so many times, I can whip out a map in about 30-45 minutes. The great thing is that once a set is complete, it continues to generate funds. I have some sets that have been in the Marketplace for over a year and they've had a steady stream of sales from Day 1. If you plan on creating a set to sell on the Marketplace, here are my recommendations, based upon my own sales: - Find something that either has not been done yet, or has not been done in the method you're thinking. - Stay away from being too specific, as you want a potential customer to look at your product and realize they can get a decent amount of use from it. - More content is better. If you create a set that has 10 maps, and it sells for $4.99, and someone else has a set that sells for the same price, but only contains 4 maps, your set will most likely look more appealing to the customer. - Add customization options, but don't make that the focus. I've found that adding a piece or two , such as an extra room or extra tree, allows a customer to reuse your product more than once, and their players may not realize it (I've certainly pulled this trick before).
Thank you for that info. Well done you.
