Description
March 17 edit: Holy crap, a Daily Deviation?Hey there, friends and watchers. I've decided to create a PF tutorial guiding you through the creation of a simple map to give you some basic insights into the do's and don't's as I've learned them. Enjoy!

This is awesome. Looks like I found some inspiration. Just curious, but have you tried turning a cloud picture into a flat continent? I found it works great with both earthly planets and flat land continents for rpg creation.

I know that others have used this method successfully, but I haven't tried that yet. Most my work is for commissions where the clients have pretty solid ideas as to how their world ought to look like, so I can't use those somewhat random shapes.

This is a great help! My maps already look so much better, just by following what you've detailed here. I'm definitely telling my friends about this

That was undeniably the inspiration, yeah. Always had a soft spot for that part of Faerûn.

Fantastic. My first fantasy novel, the first thing I did was draw the map (pencil and paper back in the 1980s though!)

Yeah, I also tend to visualize the world-building before I jump into the narrative, too.

Well. That was certainly a tutorial! Really, really nice I've tried to make a map before, but only saw a tutorial for the outline and none of the inner parts, so this is really helpful

Amazing work. Right in the favorites so that I can go back to it when I need it - and I probably will. Congrats on this well-deserved DD.
