DnD Battlemaps Generator

This SDXL LoRA generates high-quality, top-down battle maps for D&D, Pathfinder, and other TTRPGs. It is trained to produce a distinct hand-drawn / vector art style that looks great on VTTs like Roll20 and Foundry.

The model excels at organic textures (ice, stone, dirt) and maintains a strict top-down perspective without accidentally drifting into isometric 3D.

⚙️ Recommended Settings

Get the best results by using these exact parameters:

* LoRA Weight: 0.7 - 0.9 (I find 0.8 is the sweet spot. At 1.0, textures can become too intense).

* Guidance Scale (CFG): 4.5 - 6.0 (Lower CFG tends to look more painterly and natural. High CFG can fry the image).

* Steps: 30 - 40

* Resolution: 1024x1024 (Square), 1344x768 (Corridor), or 768x1344 (Long Room).

* Base Model: SDXL Base 1.0 (Works well with other semi-realistic SDXL checkpoints).

💡 Usage Tips

1. No Grid: I trained this to be grid-less. It is much better to generate without a grid and overlay one in your VTT or Photoshop later.

2. Upscaling: For best results on 4K screens, generate at 1024x1024 and run a simple img2img upscale (1.5x or 2x) with low denoising (0.2).

If you use this model for your campaign, please post your generations in the gallery! I'd love to see what dungeons you build.
