  • Exploring Underground Tips?
    Well, there are dedicated mapping tools (generally paid software, such as Grid Cartographer on Steam, which is supposedly very nice for 2D grid maps), but personally, I have found the humble web-based Gridmapper best for Qud-diving purposes. It's fairly simplistic, but offers a multitude of features to mark tiles differently, plenty of hotkeys (you can map entirely without a mouse! Just like playing a roguelike),...

  • If drawing dungeon maps on a PC, what programs do you use to do so?
    Sometimes I will also use Gridmapper: https://campaignwiki.org/gridmapper.svg. It can map a few situations that Mipui cannot do, like doors on diagonal walls. It's quirky, but also rapid once you learn the keyboard controls. Source: over 1 year ago
  • How important are Artistic Maps
    There are some pretty good online tools out there for homemade maps which lift the look above wobbly pencil on graph paper. Two of my favourites are Gridmapper and Dungeon Scrawl. I'm sure others could suggest more. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Building a PF2 West Marches Hexcrawl, must have modules?
    For in-game dungeon mapping, this tool is super nice. (I learned about it last week on this very sub): Https://campaignwiki.org/gridmapper.svg. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Is there a way to let players map the dungeon in Foundry VTT?
    Have you consider Gridmapper? This is not actually in Foundry but it really brings the feel of mapping using paper, it's not super hard to learn and it has collaboration tools for online play. Source: about 2 years ago
