I have been working on building my own world, likely for 5e. I started working on the physical world and have been doing little snipets of land that I can later resize, and move around the final map until I am happy with it. I thought I could upload my own maps into inkarnate but I see no such option.

Are there any map editors that will let me do this? Even if it is just as a background bit that I can trace over. I have been using old topography maps of the area around my hometown and other places I have lived and am really liking the land masses I have and would rather not have to try and recreate them.

I am using a Mac, so I would prefer web based since most things do not get a mac release.

CC3+ runs on any modern PC with Microsoft Windows 10, 8 (and 8.1), Windows 7, Vista, XP or 2000.

That rules out that one.

Mac? Linux?

It runs decently under wine on Linux, but I’ve heard Mac users struggle.

But yeah, I get it.

Mac, yes. Looking for something web based if not a Mac package.

MapMaking - A Map Making community for DND/TTRPG

Create post

Welcome to the TTRPG/DND/D&D/Fantasy Map Makers Community!

We’re thrilled to have you here! This community is all about the art and craft of creating TTRPG maps. Whether you’re a seasoned cartographer or just beginning, this is the perfect place to delve into the world of map making. Here, we exchange knowledge, seek advice, explore techniques, and bring our imaginary worlds to life.

Our Main Focus: Map Making Discussions

Primarily, our community thrives on open discussions about all aspects of map-making. Topics can range from tools, techniques, and asset sharing to queries about scaling and more. This open forum is where we share knowledge, learn from one another, and celebrate the process of map creation.

Other Acceptable Posts Include:

Map Making Prompts: Feel free to post prompts that others can interpret through their unique artistic perspectives. Create maps inspired by these prompts and share your process!

User Requests: If you have a specific idea for a map but lack the skills to bring it to life, you can post your request here. Our talented community of artists may choose to fulfill them. Remember, this isn’t a place for paid requests, and we reserve the right to revisit this policy if the number of requests becomes overwhelming.

Artist’s ‘Make a Request’ Posts: Artists in our community can start a thread inviting others to make requests, which they can then attempt to fulfill. This keeps the requests contained and easy to follow. This section also doesn’t cater to paid services, and the policy may change in the future.

Rules:

  • Share and engage in discussions about map-making techniques.
  • Refrain from just sharing completed maps; we focus on the map-creation process. Responding to requests is appropriate, but just sharing your maps should be reserved for !battlemaps@lemmy.world
  • Treat fellow community members with respect and friendliness.
  • Avoid spamming or self-promoting unrelated to map making.
  • Adhere to Lemmy.world’s overall community guidelines.

We’re here to foster a collaborative environment where map makers can learn from each other and improve their skills. This community is about celebrating the process of map creation and exploring innovative ways to illustrate adventures. While sharing completed maps is not our primary goal, feel free to join !battlemaps@lemmy.world to showcase your completed creations.
