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.

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!)

stratomunchkin In reply to DaddyHoggy [2016-03-18 09:10:37 +0000 UTC]

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
