I followed a tutorial on using GIMP to make a #ttrpg map. The example in the video was a cavern, but I wanted to make an indoor setting, so I altered it and came up with this. What's cool is how I can change settings just by adding/removing layers with different textures.

Why use GIMP? Well, I know Dungeon Scrawl exists, but I'm currently using a 2009 Macbook running Linux (don't ask how I ended up here) and DS just refuses to load in Firefox. And yet, GIMP runs very well on this elder Mac.

So, next step is either drawing a bunch of my own assets to fill the map (furniture, dungeon ephemera, other items to add more rpg elements) or finding a good, royalty free asset pack to import and edit so they'll work with what I've got here. But the point is, I'm having fun!
