I recently moved to Maytown, Pennsylvania, USA. 65 year old RPG game master/player from the early days of D&D TSR. I never was satisfied with my crude maps. Now there are tons of tools for this old dog to learn new tricks. Most of all I now have lots of time

This was great. When I was a kid, I would create detailed island geography around coffee spills on napkins.

My thanks to Josh and you for conducting this webinar - enjoyed and learnt a lot, thanks again

Anybody else notice Josh’s Final Empire map?

I’m from the Netherlands, to answer the first question. The stream was at 3 am for me so I didn’t watch it live, thanks for keeping it up.

Thank you

Josh, thanks for sharing. I like the fonts you’re using in those maps. Could you please share what some of them are?

thankyou

I got the map builder tools today and was able to use them to experiment with maps in Photoshop and import the stamps into Inkarnate to use on maps there. Very helpful.

Hot take, it's ok for your maps to be "wrong". Your map doesn't have to fit all the rules of our world, you want to make a river go coast to coast, go for it, if you want to have a river fork, make it so, it's your map and your world and you get to decide. No matter what anyone else says about it, so long as you think it looks good, it's a good map. And maps with mistakes can look good, and unless they're looking for errors the average person isn't going to find any. Take the example map he uses, that's a good-looking map, most people would agree, and I don't think the minor errors detract from it, honestly, I think some of the errors add to it. I think that the splitting river looks great and adds to the map despite it not being how rivers work in the real world. The point being make your maps how you want to because most of the time that will be great, even if it's not technically accurate to the real world.

Could I use those icons/brushes in GIMP?

Its pronounced Tol Keen for Tolkien.

Things don't get better with practice. At least not handwriting.  I'm going to be 56 and my handwriting still sucks. 😂 Awesome video though!!!

Hi, thanks for this! I couldn't watch live because it was in the middle of the night for me, and I needed to sleep. ^^; Will this video will stay up and for how long? I'm preparing for an entrance exam this weekend and won't have time to watch it straight away. I hope it stays up for a while. ^^; I love fantasy maps!

Too bad the video is only 720p.
