Twelve years ago I started posting Geomorphs to this blog. Twelve years. I posted the first geomorph to the blog at the end of October, 2009. Here we are in 2022 and I’m still posting new ones to add to the mix. These new geomorphs are, of course, the fault of Inkwell Ideas who will be launching a new DungeonMorph Dice / Cards campaign shortly!
These cavern geomorphs are designed to mesh with the other few hundred geomorphs I’ve posted to the blog over the years, the many varieties of DungeonMorphs published by Inkwell Ideas, and of course the thousand or so more that are on DavesMapper.
We have little lakes, crevasses, multi-tiered caves and caverns, twisting tunnels, and of course a collapsed passage to navigate here. Rotating these in any direction allows them to form any variety of twisting cavern mazes and lairs for your subterranean encounters. There are a further three sets of geomorphs that I’ll be releasing here over the course of February to extend this collection!
The 1200 dpi versions of these geomorphs were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are each 3,000 pixels (10 squares) wide. To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for 10′ squares) – so resizing each individual geomorph to either 700 pixels wide or 1,400 pixels wide, respectively.
The maps on Dyson’s Dodecahedron are released for free personal use thanks to the support of awesome patrons like you over on Patreon. Every month over 600 patrons come together to make these releases possible. You can help too in order to keep the flow of maps coming and to improve their quality – and even get a map of your own!

Hey, love these geomorphs, but have you considered making small “nub” additions that make the “dead ends” a little more interesting ie, some random rooms or a cave that aren’t quite a whole geomorph but make the overall shape less blocky when assembled?
Reblogged this on DDOCentral.
I like the dead ends idea as well, but also, and sorry If you have done this, only recently found your site, are there any entrance geomorphs, elevators, doors/stairs to the outerworld, ladders to sewer covers?
Love the geomorphs, already have many ideas for my next campaign. Thank you.
Yeah actually that would be cool also – I was thinking 5×5 or smaller “nubs” but having special features to make the edges less “blocky” would be cool and the more entrances and verticality the better right / Jaccquaying for the win!
