About Dan DiPietro

Dan DiPietro, Fantasy Art Illustrator

Hello! I'm Dan DiPietro, the creative mind behind Dungeons By Dan LLC, and I invite you to embark on a journey through the realms of fantasy and adventure with me.

My love of role-playing games and fantasy art ignited early in my life when my uncle introduced me to the enchanting world of AD&D at around eight years old. From that moment, I was hooked. In fact, it wasn’t long before I created my own small RPG game, driven by my love of crafting monsters, heroes, and epic quests. These early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for creating fantastical art that tells the story of these incredible adventures.

I've always been drawn to the extraordinary. While classical art is undeniably beautiful, I found my calling in the intricate and emotion-filled world of monsters and mythical landscapes. It's a realm where imagination knows no bounds, and every brushstroke allows me to breathe life into creatures and settings that captivate the heart and mind.

As both a player and a Dungeon Master, I’m aware of the obstacles and needs gamers face. When I couldn’t find the maps I needed, I began designing my own to fit the unique specifications of my campaigns. As a graphic designer trained at Champlain College, I knew I wanted something versatile, reusable, and full of variety to continually enhance my games.

With Dungeons By Dan, I’m committed to providing adventurers with modular maps that twist, turn, rotate, and come to life on your tabletop. These maps aren’t just illustrations; they’re gateways to unforgettable journeys. Whether you're a seasoned dungeon delver or new to the world of RPGs, my maps are here to enrich your storytelling and elevate your gaming sessions.

The adventure continues! With countless stories yet to be told and monsters yet to be vanquished, I’m excited to keep exploring new ideas and pushing the limits of creativity. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I can’t wait to see where our imaginations take us next.

Sincerely,
Dan DiPietro
