I'll be showing off some of my TTRPG maps today (03.06) on stream!

We'll discuss their context, why I made them, where I went wrong, how I can improve and what went down in the campaigns I used the maps in.

Come on by today at 19:00 GMT+2 (Berlin) on https://twitch.tv/imperorthefirst

Joe Davies - Data Visualization & GIS At Eurostat. Exploring New Ways Of Making Maps

https://observablehq.com/@joewdavies <-- link to a portfolio

I don’t know Joe, but I came across Joe’s work in my role as a geologist (the world topobathy image), and I was impressed so I sought out more; I think you will be impressed as well… [not considered a specific endorsement though, just my personal opinion, you know the drill]…

I've been learning to make maps with Dungeondraft for the past few days.

The experience has been equal parts "AAARRRGGHH WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!???" and "HOT DAMN, THIS IS SO COOL!!!!"

Stormgate will be a reinvigorating force for custom game modes that spawned the MOBA genre

They shared a video on their map editor and the things that can be done with it - well, at least some of it.

Those that were around in the haydays of WarCraft 3, you may feel some excitement looking at this.

Canvas of Kings certainly seems intriguing. It's also very cheap for a mapping tool. Have a look: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2498570/Canvas_of_Kings/

Here's a lie I keep telling myself:

"I just have to reorganize all my files and folders and then I'll really start getting back into being productive"

Experimenting with using #Inkarnate to do my tile-based, pre-made map-based #cyberpunk battle maps.

One limitation is that there's no way to organize your uploaded assets, though they're working on it with their Art Manager add-on, which is coming real soon now.

Made a little #map of #Edinburgh city centre. Data came from #openstreetmap via #QGIS and the rest was done in #inkscape

Honestly didn't realise there was quite so much greenery within the city centre!

Here's a little something I've just finished that's waiting for labels 😁 Reposts much appreciated 😉

Some time ago I decided to surprise my group with a map. I have never drawn a map (other than dungeons or battle maps) but hey, I'm an illustrator, I'm sure I can do it. So I did. The next step is to colour it but I'm proud of myself. What do you think, are they gonna like it?

Typography Friends,

Can you tell me about the style of typography in this image? I am assuming it was made using an architect's type template-thing? The kind that holds a pen?

What is that tool called?
Are there any fonts that mimic the look? (or conversely, what font does the template mimic?)

Boosting much appreciated. ❤️

The University of Chicago Press has made five volumes of “The History of Cartography,” an ambitious overview of map making, available for free online.

For those of you that are following the volcanic unrest near the town of Grindavík, it's been a slow decline in activity. I’ve been very focused on work for the past month but making sure I get all the rest I need in between long working days at the Met Office. Lots of #GIS and #mapmaking but less tooting. During this waiting game period, I feel the most interesting measurement to look at is the GNNS station at Svartsengi (SENG). Let's take a look (🧵 1/3)

Back to some more #worldbuilding and #mapmaking over on #twitch right now for an upcoming #ttrpg #dnd5e campaign.

Working on an overall world map with Wonderdraft! Come chat and kick back!

The Desert Hound, a quite litteral sandbox adventure drawn for a Cartographers Guild challenge. It was a looooong map but one I enjoyed drawing a lot. If you end up playing with it, please drop your experience by me ;)

Had the idea of making a portolan chart for the #30DayMapChallenge Day 7 Navigation.

It turned out... kinda OK... but it was a bit of a last minute scramble and it shows. I want to have another go at properly making one of these at some point down the line. They're such fun maps.

Made in #inkscape with a parchment paper for texture.

Hi #gischat let's got for a 2nd Daily #mapmaking with #QGIS

For the past 2 weeks or so we’ve had an ongoing earthquake swarm very close to the town of Grindavík in the Reykjanes Peninsula. The swarm is very likely caused by an inflating magma body currently at about 5 km depth. The shape of the body is most likely a flat sill expanding and causing earthquakes. These events might lead to an eruption very close to people’s homes and lots of infrastructure.
