Welcome to the TTRPG/DND/D&D/Fantasy Map Makers Community!

We're thrilled to have you here! This community is all about the art and craft of creating TTRPG maps. Whether you're a seasoned cartographer or just beginning, this is the perfect place to delve into the world of map making. Here, we exchange knowledge, seek advice, explore techniques, and bring our imaginary worlds to life.

Our Main Focus: Map Making Discussions

Primarily, our community thrives on open discussions about all aspects of map-making. Topics can range from tools, techniques, and asset sharing to queries about scaling and more. This open forum is where we share knowledge, learn from one another, and celebrate the process of map creation.

Other Acceptable Posts Include:

Map Making Prompts: Feel free to post prompts that others can interpret through their unique artistic perspectives. Create maps inspired by these prompts and share your process!

User Requests: If you have a specific idea for a map but lack the skills to bring it to life, you can post your request here. Our talented community of artists may choose to fulfill them. Remember, this isn't a place for paid requests, and we reserve the right to revisit this policy if the number of requests becomes overwhelming.

Artist's 'Make a Request' Posts: Artists in our community can start a thread inviting others to make requests, which they can then attempt to fulfill. This keeps the requests contained and easy to follow. This section also doesn't cater to paid services, and the policy may change in the future.

Rules:

We're here to foster a collaborative environment where map makers can learn from each other and improve their skills. This community is about celebrating the process of map creation and exploring innovative ways to illustrate adventures. While sharing completed maps is not our primary goal, feel free to join !battlemaps@lemmy.world to showcase your completed creations.

Greetings Map Makers!

We're onto our fifth Weekly Community Prompt! This is your opportunity to let your creativity shine and portray a theme in your distinct style, irrespective of your map-making expertise.

This Week's Prompt: A deserted lighthouse on a cliff, overlooking a stormy sea.

Picture a lonely lighthouse standing tall on a cliff's edge, its once bright light now dimmed and forgotten. The surrounding sea rages with perpetual storms. What secrets does this forsaken beacon hold? What encounters could unfold in its winding staircases and deserted chambers?

As always, these prompts are not a competition, but a celebration of our varied interpretations and styles. We're excited to see your unique spin on this theme!

Feel free to share your process, thoughts, and initial drafts in this thread. Let's use this space to engage, learn, and celebrate the art of map-making together.

Once your creation is complete, we encourage you to post your final maps in /c/BattleMaps. This allows us to marvel at everyone's completed work while keeping this community centered on the process of creation.

Rules Reminder:

  1. Show respect towards all community members and their creations.
  2. Our goal is to share our creative journey and learn from each other.
  3. Enjoy the process, and let your creativity run wild!
  4. UPDATE Please respond to this post with your maps. If you want to share them as their own post, from now on do so in /c/BattleMaps

We can't wait to see how you bring this prompt to life.

Happy map-making, everyone!
