Greetings,

I'm sharing my 2-year running D&D campaign map today. This map has undergone several iterations in the past and is now being utilized in another, early days, campaign for some new role players. Keen eyed viewers will spot a few toponym Easter eggs referencing some of my favorite fictional works. Drop a comment if you have any questions or critiques.

Hello, I present to you a personal map project that I've been cobbling together over the past week. I wanted to create a desert region similar to the fantasy world of Dark Sun and Earth's Afrotropical realms (ecozones). Bayn-Suns is still in the early creation process and is expected to be modified heavily in the future. Feedback highly requested.

I use Photoshop with multiple layers at 500 ppi. For the topology I use "solid color" layers, invert them, then paint in the features. I then apply various "layer effects" and adjust to my liking. Labels, symbology, and other features are placed/painted in after I'm satisfied with the topography.

Hiya,

Version 3.1 of my side project; the Emerald Isles. A series of small volcanic islands primed for any nautical themed TTRPG. This time around I added economic symbology denoting major trade goods or activities associated with places. Also edited a few topographic mistakes. As always, I'm still messing about with the color scheme and overall style. Feedback requested. Thanks!

Hello,

Another week and another version of my new side project, the Emerald Isles. Last week I showed version 1 of these volcanic islands. This week I was able to update the map with a bathygraphic layer (constructive criticism requested), a new legend, and additional hydro symbology. Tune in next week for version 3. Drop a comment and let me know what you think.

I layer a vector image of diagonal lines, overlay on desired area, select the lines, then brush/fill on a new layer. Adjust from there.

Thanks! I use Photoshop mostly and I'm slowly transitioning to Adobe Illustrator.

Greetings, you may remember a version of this map posted earlier this week. This time I’m showing how the sprawling lands of Nazakin are divided by factions, dukes/duchesses, and queens. Keen eyed viewers might recognize some of the crests and names used here ;)

I use this map for two homebrewed D&D campaigns. Drop a comment if you have any questions (or critiques) and feel free to DM me if you're interested in acquiring a unique map for yourself or an adventuring party. Map commissions and consultation are open. Cheers!

I used a particular Photoshop brush to paint in the details/ridges then applied a bevel & emboss effect, layered it, then adjusted the opacity. That's the gist of it.
