To help with our group's stories, I decided to make a small book of generic battlemaps which I will print.

There are A4 and A3 maps with "neutral" scenarios to facilitate moments of struggle when using miniatures or dice. A3 sheets will be on a double page, and A4 sheets will be one on each side.

If anyone wants to use them too - feel free

37 years ago without knowing how to speak English - I still don't know - without having books, dice or any type of material in a third world country where there were almost no imports... I started my life within RPG, drawing maps on paper and some years after Few books, data and other supplements began to arrive.

My head exploded when I finally had access to Karen Wynn's Forgotten Realms Atlas for the first time and started making my handmade maps based on her style. The years passed and with them many stories with friends and obviously maps, lots of maps.

This patchwork quilt gradually came together, and kingdoms and continents began to appear - which joined together and formed a world. "in blacksmith house uses wooden spit" as they say in Brazil - or something like that - I never really advanced on the finished project of a world map of which I already had my preliminary sketches.

Every time I started I abandoned the project - until one fateful day when master @Maidhc O Casain published a map of him and I fell in love with the look presented. It took 3 months before I had the courage to ask him to carry out my project, which luckily for me he decided to embark on.

Here I have the finished map - now I'm going to map the areas for which I already have a sketch, all that's left to do is adapt the new proportions.

Thank you very much once again to Maidhc O Casain for making a child very happy <3 and to Google for translating this text.

hello @Rainshine

Using this style (mike Schley overland) here its my process:

1 I position my volcano on the map using the sheet Symbol

2 I create the sheet SYMBOLS TREES BACK (as <<< to draw attention) and position it above (below) the Sheet symbols and below (above) the sheet symbols back.

3 select the tree you want and select the new sheet - SYMBOLS TREES BACK

4 place any tree icon where you want

5 - refresh

Tree images on this sheet automatically go behind images on the SYMBOLS sheet. Note the error in the lower left corner where the trunk of the palm tree appears undesirably behind the volcano image.

Then you can select the icon and delete it (more work) or hide it in the next step.

6 - Now go back to the original sheet of the SYMBOLS TREES program and work from there.

This is where I usually "hide imperfections" in images that were poorly placed on the sheet at the back. In this case I cover the root of the palm tree with more palm trees, but it could be a hill, a city, etc.

7 - If you want to add a "pasture" effect you can still create a SYMBOLS TREES GRASS sheet and place it under all symbols sheets

8 - select the Scrub vegetation and make sure you are working on the new sheet symbols trees grass (sometimes the program "forces" you to go to another sheet and you have to select the sheet you want again).

And place the Scrub where you want the effect.

9 - refresh

For the floor textures, I did not use default terrain but rather the skirmish vegetation and terrain - maximizing them a lot.

Cheers
