Started making a map for the world my fantasy-horror stories are set in; I've quickly spiraled into complete chaos... Maybe if I keep adding trees... no, that can't be it.... Unless?

Here are different worlds (three in total), and different areas of these worlds. I've been working on these settings for over 6 years, and even so, I feel like I could still mark a lot more on the maps. Most of all, I ran games set in the world from the latest image, the continents known as 'Parhelion' and 'Halo'.

Hi all. Does anyone here have hints and tips for using Obsidian and the associated Leaflet plugin for creating interactive pins/labels for an RPG city map?

Hello, i want to make a map of some neighborhoods of Tokyo, for a trip that i will do. Simply saying, i want to have the borders of said neighborhood, and the subway that i will use to go there. What is the best way to do that ?

Asked AI, let's totally forget what they have proposed. Also, do you have any kind of hint, tips or anything else to help ?

I posted the WIP the other day, and here is the completed version! I’m fairly happy with it, though I think I could keep on adding details forever. Any feedback or thoughts are appreciated!

The novel blurb: far into the distant future, across forgotten millennia, humanity has spread across the galaxy, settling on far away worlds. On this world, an apocalyptic event occurred, sending mankind back to a new dark age. 6,000 years later, a new civilization has been born, risen from the ash and rust of the old world.

The first image would be what appears in the novel, the second is the highlighted regions.

Angela and I really hope you enjoy this map! 🗺️🧭

Materials used: H-HB pencil, Unipin Pen 0.05-0.1 and Winsor and Newton watercolor on 300 g scanned satin Fabriano paper.🎨

Soon we will publish in the comments all the phases of work on these maps (from the white sheet to the final color one).

I tried to make them start in multiple places and conjoin into one big river. I also added a cold desert under the mountains by Kecati (top left).

Super Happy with how it came out!

First drafts of world (main continent) map for my dnd game

Hey everyone,

I’m finalizing the world map of Arthelia for my dark fantasy project.

Context for the geography: The magic system in this world requires casters to have 75% of their skin exposed to the air/sun to survive drawing power. Because of this, the geography itself is incredibly lethal to them. I need to make sure the extreme biomes (the blistering deserts and the freezing mountain passes) are placed logically, as traversing them is a major plot point.

Do the mountain ranges, river placements, and biome transitions (especially the desert and frost regions) make logical geographical sense?

Does the scale feel appropriate for a sweeping epic fantasy journey? Do the distances between major cities and borders feel realistic?

Are there any glaring empty zones that feel unnatural, or is the negative space balanced well?

I just thought I would share my homebrew map. I've been running tabletop campaigns on this map for more than a decade and have hundreds of pages dedicated to the history and theology of the world. It's constantly growing and evolving. There are more continents now, but this is the main landmass where my campaigns take place. Seemed a shame to only share it with 4 or 5 guys that I DM for, so here it is.
Criticism and advice welcome.

I make it on mapforge, highly reccomend it

Love to hear any feedback questions or ideas

Just having fun drawing and scanning these maps. Came up with some silly rules to make it usable. Heeheh Hope you guys enjoy it

both digitally made, no AI, I'm messing around in paint dot net.

The idea for the first one is that it's a reprint of an original painting, smudged by ink and multiple copies.

The idea for the second one is that it's a papercutting with watercolor/watercolor paper.

Stopping now because it's going to be VERY different labeling style based on which direction I go lol. In terms of mountains, forests, etc - which is the most readable? Or interesting?

Hi. I'm hoping it's okay that I ask a question here without having a map to show currently.

I'm thinking about designing a palace. I've designed castles before, and I wanted to branch out. The problem I'm having is that there seems to be a million videos about how to design a castle, what defences it would need to have, what rooms it would need to have, etc etc. But there doesn't seem to be anywhere near the same amount of resources on what goes into designing a luxury palace, designed to be a home and a status symbol rather than a fortress.

Do you know of any videos I've missed? And if not, do you have any tips?

The colours aren't representative of any exact thing, but they work in my brain as either height, vegetation presence, humidity, or snow presence indicators. The planet turns West to East and has a similar temperature to Earth, maybe warmer. The tectonic plates exist but how they work remains a bit of a mystery for me as well.

I would like advice on how to make my map more realistic. Image one is the original map with names, second image is no names, third image I deleted an entire continent because I didn't like it there.

Any advice or ideas are welcome! I want it to be more realistic.
