Hand drawn maps, be they traditional or digital, take a fair bit of time to craft. This thoughtful process gives you, your gaming group, or your TTRPG project a truly impactful storytelling device. No AI is ever used in any of my creations.

'I just love doing it': Meet the B.C. man winning international awards for his maps
When Jeff Clark sits down to create a map, he says his goal is clear: to tell people a story about the beauty of the landscape they are viewing.

Here’s a composite image showing how I go about creating hand drawn digital maps - in this case a world map for indie video game company BlindCoco Studios which I am currently working on.

@pipapogames just put out the demo for Map Map, a Game About Maps & I'm in love.

It's the mapmaking game I've always yearned for! Step counting, landmarks, penciling on notes, complex geography. No joke I think I might cry this is so cool 😭. Stopped on island 5 to wait for launch.

If exploring islands and finding treasures using your own orienteering skills sounds fun you NEED to try this.

Map Map - A Game About Maps on Steam

In this game YOU make the maps! Become the cartographer of a small adventure crew and use proper navigation tools like a real explorer. Map the environment to turn unknown islands into a hand-drawn journey toward a legendary treasure.

If tonight is your #gamenight, may the dice roll in your favour, but more importantly: think before you draw swords!

This discussion of women's roles — and suppression of those roles as well as knowledge about them — in map making, is thought provoking. How much is lost by not acknowledging women's participation? (A: Lots — too much.)

Women have been mapping the world for centuries – and now they’re speaking up for the people left out of those maps

Women have moved from mapmakers using their bodies to depict maps to being leaders shaping the field of cartography.

Fantasy map making is more than a process. For me, it’s a journey across uncharted lands full of wonder, danger and mystical lore while I use my extensive skill set to bring all to life as best I can!
