Milby’s Maps is one of the billionty creators I follow on #Patreon who I’d shower with money if I had it to spare.
Matt’s stunning current project is to produce #TTRPG- and #VTT-ready #maps of the #Vatican, and, in his latest update on the #catacombs below St Peter’s Basilica, relates a great tale about the perils of amateur #archaeology during the search for St Peter’s bones: https://www.patreon.com/posts/158946697?utm_campaign=postshare_fan

:ablobfoxbongo: Before & after of a map I made back when I was still an embryo fresh out of high school and a map I made in 2024. It's the same region of a continent. Sadly the map of rest of the world is gone, but I still have it in my head!

I'm using inkarnate to make my maps, but as I did a bit of drawing last year and right now want to use a style which has a bit of an #OSR flair, am experimenting with lines and shading to model terrain. Also, want to move more to bw maps (due to printing cost and - again - OSR flair).
WDYT?

Ehnaiton Megabattlemap Project Update 8: Starting to take shape. The internet will probably kill its resolution and make it unreadable (as the document size is A0, and text is 8p), but looks cool on a computer 😂 🤣 🙃 - anyway, a bit more and almost done.
-
Ehnaiton Megabattlemap Project Update 7: Main lines finished and file set up, now all sorts of nitty-gritty stuff like trees, tuning colours, etc. And then finishing it into usable map(s).
-
Ehnaiton Megabattlemap Project Update 6: Most of the city houses finished, and important places numbered (we are at number 98 🙃). Now to the outskirts.

In preparation for creating the print-on-demand version of the ANDERS Core Rules book, I used the opportunity to improve the map for the Kingdom of Aroath a little bit.
Do you like the smoother design?

The Ehnaiton Megabattlemap Project Update 5: Almost all the small houses are done, except the Fishtown District and the eastern side of the "Moneymake". Also, a lot more detailed buildings and places - years of campaigning in the same city does its work.
-
My 1st attempt creating an island / landmass with high cliffsides, well above the waterline.
I'm reasonably happy with it, but I'm not certain the visual reads as it's supposed to. More details would help, but I want this minimal to start, before adding extra elements emphasizing land vs water.
Also: I'm enjoying the Pigma Micron pens I've just started using. I've never been fully comfortable with pencils, but I'd also never used a quality pen before either.
-
The Ehnaiton Megabattlemap Project Update 4:
3 largest castles in the city done: Grand Palazzo La Vookan, Castle Erturis, and Grand Palazzo Moriomoto + bunch of smaller castles (Detranic Police Headquarters, private castles), public buildings, etc.

@pipapogames just put out the demo for Map Map, a Game About Maps & I'm in love.
It's the mapmaking game I've always yearned for! Step counting, landmarks, penciling on notes, complex geography. No joke I think I might cry this is so cool 😭. Stopped on island 5 to wait for launch.
If exploring islands and finding treasures using your own orienteering skills sounds fun you NEED to try this.

Continuing with Procedural City Generator, the best cyberpunk-themed map options are:
* AppleDark (inspired by Apple Maps, the main streets are orange, side streets are gray, city blocks are dark grey, water is dark blue)
* Assassin (inspired by Assassin’s Creed IV, main streets are thick white lines, side streets are thin white lines, and water is black).
-
The Procedural City Generator creates 2D and 3D city maps. The 3D maps are exportable to Blender. Map styles include Google Maps, Apple Maps, and hand-drawn.

David and I have talked about this before, but it's funny how - in real-world games - I always sketch out my battle maps. I rarely use canned ones, or maps I created in Inkarnate.
But online? I feel ... obligated? compelled? ... to have nicer battle maps. #GMing #MapMaking #RPGProps

Since my Outlaws of the North map is based on the PNW, I keep renaming cities vaguely inspired by the actual location.
So I have this little fishing village where Aberdeen is. The small town in WA, not its more famous Scottish cousin.
It is where Kurt Cobain was from, so I’m tempted to just call it Nirvana. Is that too obvious? Anyone think of something related but cleverly obscure to use instead?
