Thank you!

Bit of self-promo: Check out the full sized version of this map and 8 others in the Seaside Maps pack in my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MaunaMaps. Each pack includes 4200x4200+ resolution maps, gridded, non-gridded, and printable PDF versions.

I’ve read the Foundation series, but don’t recall a cave. Maybe it’s time for a re-read :)

They’re made with Midjourney. I start by brainstorming concepts for maps. The prompt process takes a while, and depending on what I’m trying to accomplish can take many iterations to get a good base result. Once I like the general style, perspectively, and layout of a result, I’ll use the “vary region” feature to clean up mistakes, and/or add features to the map. Then I do some cleanup in gimp to fix more mistakes, and upscale resolution using Topaz Photo AI.

Artificially made with Midjourney. Tbh the drone-looking-down perspective what I aim for.

P.S. these are made with Midjourney (AI). I want to make the best maps I can with it, and want to work towards better layout/perspective control. It’s pretty limited and I discard a lot of maps that aren’t close enough or whose layout is poor, but I’m still learning.

They work best for VTT and random encounters throughout the world, as opposed to boss fights where you want to be more careful with mechanics. For this one, 24x24 works pretty nicely. It varies from map to map. I do want to get better at provided pre-gridded versions at the correct grid scale and am working on printable PDFs as well. Though as noted, VTT works best when it isn’t perfectly top-down and grid-aligned.

To me map style is a spectrum. On one side is essentially no graphics–grid paper maps, and fully focused on the mechanics. On the other is almost full 3d and even animated, and sometimes the mechanics side suffers a bit for style points.

These are really beautiful, Domille. I think these are my favorites.

This is the last map of the desert pack from patreon.com/maunamaps. Next up: Some autumn-themed maps!

😂 There is a whole continuum of roleplaying… from graph-paper only to full realistic 3d graphics… to larping?

Very fair. It is more angled than I like but it turned out too pretty not to share. My biased opinion is it is still playable but some areas e.g. behind cacti you have to use your imagination that a token would be behind not on it.

I’m so sorry I missed your comment, not sure how that happened.

Thanks so much! The ones I share on socials are 2048x2048 res. On my patreon (patreon.com/maunamaps) they’re 4200x4200. I don’t sell prints, at least not yet :) I’ve been working on making them a printable pdf. I almost have it down to be able to print at correct scale on 8.5x11. How do you generally print yours out?

Thanks so much , I love to hear feedback!

Re-posting this. The previous one had an issue with the image, so hopefully that is fixed now :)

Not sure what happened to the image? But was able to edit it in.

It is rather unnatural, isn’t it?
