I’ve read the Foundation series, but don’t recall a cave. Maybe it’s time for a re-read :)

They’re made with Midjourney. I start by brainstorming concepts for maps. The prompt process takes a while, and depending on what I’m trying to accomplish can take many iterations to get a good base result. Once I like the general style, perspectively, and layout of a result, I’ll use the “vary region” feature to clean up mistakes, and/or add features to the map. Then I do some cleanup in gimp to fix more mistakes, and upscale resolution using Topaz Photo AI.

Artificially made with Midjourney. Tbh the drone-looking-down perspective what I aim for.

They work best for VTT and random encounters throughout the world, as opposed to boss fights where you want to be more careful with mechanics. For this one, 24x24 works pretty nicely. It varies from map to map. I do want to get better at provided pre-gridded versions at the correct grid scale and am working on printable PDFs as well. Though as noted, VTT works best when it isn’t perfectly top-down and grid-aligned.

To me map style is a spectrum. On one side is essentially no graphics–grid paper maps, and fully focused on the mechanics. On the other is almost full 3d and even animated, and sometimes the mechanics side suffers a bit for style points.

P.S. these are made with Midjourney (AI). I want to make the best maps I can with it, and want to work towards better layout/perspective control. It’s pretty limited and I discard a lot of maps that aren’t close enough or whose layout is poor, but I’m still learning.

There isn’t one, but that’s too good of an idea not to do. Midjourney was not helpful this time, so I added it by hand haha.

Midjourney’s coin

If you open in a new tab and look close enough… :P https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/673e0e87-f29e-4eb3-9893-3f9c18e84129.jpeg

Fey Meadow Continued - Connected Battle Maps ( sh.itjust.works )

Following through with one of the month’s themes - Paths! One of you suggested earlier to make a continued map, so you could have a larger space for battles, and I thought that Fey Meadow would be the perfect map to do that with, and the monthly theme would work really well....

These are really beautiful, Domille. I think these are my favorites.

This is the last map of the desert pack from patreon.com/maunamaps. Next up: Some autumn-themed maps!

Very fair. It is more angled than I like but it turned out too pretty not to share. My biased opinion is it is still playable but some areas e.g. behind cacti you have to use your imagination that a token would be behind not on it.

😂 There is a whole continuum of roleplaying… from graph-paper only to full realistic 3d graphics… to larping?

Re-posting this. The previous one had an issue with the image, so hopefully that is fixed now :)

Not sure what happened to the image? But was able to edit it in.
