Making maps

If this is for an online game then I just drag and drop assets into roll 20 and use that. It's a good map making tool even if you don't use the website, just take screenshots and use those.

For tabletop I own a rather large grip map that I can use whiteboard markers on, so I just rough draw whatever I've drawn in my grid book

For world/continent maps, I use Inkarnate (google it, I'm afraid to post links). Donjon has some good dungeon map generators with optional random encounters per room via the DMG, and Roll20 is a good supplement to those or to make special shit from scratch like >>51767216 said.

I've been wanting to learn how to use Tiled because it looks useful, but documentation is scarce and good tilesets are hard to find. RPGmaker would work similarly, but have similar problems.

If you're playing online, it's useful to know that R20's grid size is 70px. Also, learn to use the Align to Grid function to import your maps, it'll smooth things over by orders of magnitude.

For my dungeon maps I use dungeonographer

For the rooms I pop into roll20 I use Gimp and make map "tiles". If I ran 4e or a dungeon crawl game I would probably do this irk.

For my city maps I use hexographer or just wing it

Wouldn't roll20 tiles work with Tiled?

I just want to save my maps. Roll20, sadly want to monopolize their shit so you only use it in roll20.

I've been meaning to make a map in the vein of Fire Emblem for a Wuxia game I plan on running...

Here's a rundown of what is used: https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1bm6co/i_love_using_roll20_for_gaming_but_i_horrendously/

Unfortunately I am not very good at the whole 'using Tiled' yet...

I make mines in graph paper with mixed media, mostly colored pencils and pens

>>51771841
That is neat. Care to share some of your work?

>>51771961
Maybe latter, It will be a hard work do dig them up and scan them

>>51767198
It's called "paper" and "pencil", with a fan-made mode called "ruler". It helps if the paper is from squared edition and not the plain one.

>>51772141
Yes, because literally everyone plays their games in person with everybody there.
Nice being a condescending ass.

My bad. I was assuming that you've done it at some point in the past.
As an alternative, you could just take a picture with your phone or something.
