How do you map an area with inconsistent curved space?

by

I'm talking more about maps on the scale of a country or continent than a city or dungeon here.

What free tools do you recommend for creating battlemaps on hex grid?

Bonus points if they natively work on Linux

How would you map an underground city?

by

I've long been dissatisfied with maps of 3D spaces more complicated than a few storeys. Maps for things like TTRPG dungeons are usually split into levels (assuming all the rooms and corridors fit neatly into separate floors, with stairs and ladders the only signs of a third dimension), isometric (i couldn't find a good example. These look nice, but have to exaggerate the vertical dimension a lot and large maps have rooms hidden behind rooms), or everything as a single top-down map (very messy).

Random map I made to test out Inkarnate

by

Inkarnate is giving away 10-days free Pro membership, so I took the bait and tried it. I decided to use the limited time to bring a very old concept of mine to life, which I originally conceived as a kid in high school. Overall, there's a lot of improvements to be made (especially since I decided to stick to the original concept as much as possible, which was... not very good to begin with lol), but I had a lot of fun and it allowed me to unwind a bit before going to bed, which was nice.

AQuestion About Wonderdraft

by

Sorry if this isn't the appropriate community to ask! When I accidentally turned off an asset pack yesterday and relaunched the app, it deleted the assets from the map. I was going to work on it on a separate computer, If I download it won't it just do the same thing on the new install since I can't load the assets without opening the map?

Map making software that you can import your own base map? (MacOS)

by

I have been working on building my own world, likely for 5e. I started working on the physical world and have been doing little snipets of land that I can later resize, and move around the final map until I am happy with it. I thought I could upload my own maps into inkarnate but I see no such option.

Island Looking For Input

by

I made this map using a heavy amount of inspiration from pre-Norman medieval England. I tried a new technique for mountain placement, forest placement, and rivers. I also am trying something new for place names. I'm looking for input on what people think!

[Question] Where to best upload and share full resolution, uncompressed battle maps?

by

I shared one of my battle-maps in some places just now (first time for that, really) and got the request to maybe share the full uncompressed version.

now taking requests

by

Hey guys, I'm looking to get some practice in this week and would like to help out the community in the process. Reply with a battlemap you need, I guess regional maps would be ok, but I want to keep them to small enough areas that the details will still be useful. I do like playing with the lighting, so I will likely include that in most of them. Obviously if this gets super popular I won't get to every request, but I'll prioritize based on upvotes and my interest in the request.

Lake Laurel Region

by

I worked on this map while brainstorming an TTRPG setting a few years back. I never ended up using it however. The Lake Laurel region is inspired by the large glacial lake systems you see in the northern US and throughout Canada.
