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.

Hello Map Makers!

Apologies for the slight delay this week - I've been out of town. But we're back, and ready to dive into our fourth Weekly Community Prompt! As always, this is your canvas to express your creativity and render a theme in your unique style, no matter your level of map-making experience.

This Week's Prompt: A hidden monastery nestled within the jagged peaks of a towering mountain range.

Imagine a secluded monastery, tucked away within the inhospitable peaks of a towering mountain range. Its tranquil courtyards and echoing prayer halls hold a serene contrast to the harsh exterior. What secrets might these ancient stone walls harbor? What encounters could occur amidst this lofty solitude?

Remember, these prompts are not a competition, but rather a celebration of our diverse interpretations and styles. We can't wait to see your unique approach to this!

Please share your process, thoughts, and early drafts in this thread. Our community is here to engage, learn from one another, and celebrate the art of map-making.

Once you're satisfied with your creation, please post your final maps in /c/BattleMaps. This helps us appreciate everyone's finished work while keeping our community focused on the creative process.

Rules Reminder:

  1. Respect all community members and their work.
  2. Our aim is to share our creative journey and learn from each other.
  3. Immerse yourself in the process and let your creativity soar!

Looking forward to seeing your interpretations of this hidden sanctuary.

Happy map-making, everyone!
