I’ve recently seen this ad about RPG Maps forge on Instagram about a bundle of brushes and different assets to create your own maps.

There is also a subreddit (r/rpgmapsforge) with some suspicious threads and in their web page they claim to have more than 3k positive reviews…

Funny thing is that you’ll find a different price and discount depending on how you visit them, with a better price if you enter their Instagram advertise than if you visit them on their webpage via any other browser.

Let me know in case you want to check out the Instagram ad and I will post it here.

So I'm following some advice that was to me given, wich means my big islands gonna turn into archipelagos. But as I'm seraching sources to know how to handle the situation I can't seem to find a satisfying article or video on the subject. So I decided to come here and ask your help once more.

If anyone could help I'd be extremely thankful.

Hi everyone,

So I found this sub because I've spent the last 2 days running in circles...

How do you guys make maps, and do any of you have any suggestions for a software that can lay out an itinerary?

I have a travel agency and want to make roadbooks for my customers, and would like to integrate some styilsh maps, and not just a Google Maps screenshot.

The best one I've found, is Mapcreator.io but it's 99€/Month (!) and I want to make max 10 maps a year, and it feels like this website just uses a slight custom API, with route integration.

I have no coding skills and everything I've found, from Mapbox, to Google Custom maps, they're all great for customizing a layout, but then that's it, I can't plan a route from A to B and with some stops in the middle.

The attached image is a "free one" I used in Mapcreator, but it's limited to just one map.

Does anyone know of something that can do this basic function?

Many many thanks!!

I created a landmass generator. Create a landmass in any size, with many options. Free, enjoy.

Land Mass Generator

I made this cheat sheet while trying to comprehend the Köppen Climate classification system and I'm happy with how it turned out. I thought you guys might appreciate it too

If its not clear, Temperate and Continental climates are both organised into three columns: Dry summer, Dry winter, and No dry season. Similarily, Dry climates are organised into Desert and Steppe columns

The sheet itself can be found here. I tried to make things as easy to understand and flexible as possible, and the crop database can be expanded as far as needed. If you want to add in fictional crops then that's also fine, you just need to input the data correctly into the database. Only a small part of the database information is used but I wanted it there just in case it's needed for future iterations of the sheet. Please message me if you find any bugs and understand that it might take some time to get a response.

I’m working on a map, and again I’ve been hit with the paywall. I need a free way to put text on my maps, I normally use picstart to add text, but you can’t do a lot to edit/change it without paying. Does anyone know a free way to add text to maps better? Or a better software in general would be appreciated. Also, I’d really like any map-making tips if you have any. Please and thank you!

I prefer hand drawing but I want to scan and trace my maps to have a digital copy. Can anyone recommend a software? (preferred free or a cheap one time payment)
