  • creating custom templates for (Dungeon-)maps

    You shouldn't add grids directly to wizard template maps, precisely because the way it is scaled when you decide map size.

    Either use the option in the new map wizard to create a grid when you create the map, or if you use the same size map all the time, create a new map from the wizard template in the appropriate size, add your grid, and then save that map as a temple among the non-wizard templates. (i.e. not inside the Wizard folder). You can then find that template by selecting a pre-defined template instead of decide settings yourself and make all future maps from that.

  • New Mapmaker, can't print consistently?

    Exactly. The first one is printed with effects on. The other with effects off. You should see the difference visually on your screen too, not just on printouts. Use :CC2SHEETS: to turn on/off.

  • Suggestions for a Map and Vintyri

    If you print it without the tokens and stick it to a magnet board, and then print the tokens separately and put some magnetic tape on them, you have a dynamic zoo tracker. Could even be made into a game...

  • Morta1337y

    Welcome to the forums Morta1337y.

    Map looks nice so far, but parts of it do look a little bit empty. Some of those empty sea areas can be made "disappear" simply by throwing in a map title, a compass rose and a scale bar, empty sea is a good place to put those.

    It is also a bit difficult to get a good look, since you've only included such a small version. Higher resolution images makes it easier to see the map properly. I recommend about 1000x1000 for inclusion in a forum post.

  • Is there a way to get a handrawn look for the grid?

    Do you have the 2020 annual? Dyson Logos style "Inked Dungeons" appeared in the April 2020 Issue. Here the floor grid is made using a scalable hatching made up of polygons to be able to create variable width "lines" that look handdrawn.
