Virtual Tabletop Journey presents the a ready-to-play DOOMGEON floor! This map was made possible by VTTJ Patrons!
This floor is designed as a CR 4 train wave event with a CR 5 boss. The primary tileset/theme is railway badlands.
This floor contains hide volumes setup for a series of wave encounters, culminating in the boss.
Feel free to use it with whatever system you like! If you want to remove the tokens, they can easily be removed by selecting them all with the lasso and deleting them.
