About your use of maps (Patreon)

Hey, I want to know how you use maps the most. This is a public poll and I will have a similar one on Twitter too. The results of this poll may adjust the specs of my illustrations in 2019.

I expand it and print it out for players to play on. Usually I print it out and cut it up by room so I can place rooms as players find them.

I don't really consider your maps "battlemaps" so I never use them on the tabletop when combat breaks out, so I unsubscribed for a while. However, when you moved in the direction of "one page dungeons" I came back because they're great pieces to have for inspiration and/or to drop into my game. I often find other generic style maps that work as replacements or run combat theater of the mind when combat does break out, but I love having the completed map to show my players when they finish the dungeon or finish exploring a new location. Another direction I wouldnt mind seeing more of from you is the World/Region Map -&gt; Civilization/Point of Interest/Dungeon/Etc. By this mean posting a region map with points of interest, dungeons, towns, cities, etc. and then giving us maps for each of the major/more interesting places in that region/world. Things like that are really awesome/easy to throw into a game.

So like a kingdom map. And then maps of the main cities or interesting dungeons within that area? that sounds like an awesome project!

I love your dungeon maps and I love having Roll20 versions. Any player version will work, but it's very much appreciated when you've put in the extra effort to make it easy.

yes, since I stuck to the 140px per square measurement, a lot of people have thanked me for making the import process to roll20 easier.

I do a bit of everything. Love the physicality of playing with props and physical maps and characters but lately I’ve gone digital with the app Encounter+ that lets me use my tv and iPad to do the work. It’s really quite amazing! It let me use maps I’ve either created or a pdf. And I can show only what I want the players to see on the tv but see everything on my end. With not having a lot of space at home this is a fantastic way to play. Definitely worth checking out if you don’t know about it already.

I picked the Roll20 option, even though I find Roll20 does not meet my needs. I use Fantasy Grounds, which is not web-based. I convert your One-page adventures into FG modules for my own use.

I chose Roll20 because it probably comes the closest. We are using Maptools and do not play online. Rather I've a large TV set into our gaming table and use it to show maps, images etc. to the players (and also use it for battle maps. the players can move their tokens themselves, etc., slightly less visual pleasing then miniatures, but far easier and far more versatile.)

I use your maps in fantasy grounds. I get it and convert in one shot adventure.

Only offline and for DM/GM use mostly (inspiration and like a 'framework' to build my own story based on this). I do not need hexes, etc. as even if used for "battle" scene the systems I am using (like Dungeon World, FATE, etc) allow to explore and fight without the grid. And I really like the One Page Dungeon format. I second the votes for this! :)

I typically use TableTop Simulator and the One World mod. I know a lot of folks probably use Roll20, but if you made maps that are 1600x945 (or something of that same ratio) that is also Roll20 friendly you will make both user-groups happy! Cheers and thanks for the great products - I especially like the maps with descriptions of where some monsters/traps/loot are like your one-pagers

Public to the players, I print them out in black and white

I use maps as the DM, sometimes adapting and editing them in Pixelmator, sometimes also making player versions in Pixelmator which I print and give them. I also use 3D terrain (mostly Dwarvenforge) as well as 2D maps (mostly Paizo big maps with grid or tiles, sometimes with 3D terrain on top), and sometimes we just use a battle grid (a soft vinyl mat that covers most of the table). Examples of the non-digital art part in this article I did here: <a href="https://medium.com/@metagrrrl/d-dms-d-d-using-maps-minis-terrain-1f10f9406fee" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://medium.com/@metagrrrl/d-dms-d-d-using-maps-minis-terrain-1f10f9406fee</a>
