Map maker for tabletop games

Beautiful maps for D&D and other RPGs — in minutes

Generate locations, place objects, draw rivers and a grid, and show the finished map to your players on a separate screen.

Works with D&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Savage Worlds, Cyberpunk RED, Shadowrun and any tabletop RPG or virtual tabletop.

All images are the project's own set, drawn in a single top-down style.

Features

Map generation

Seven location types (forest, town, tavern, ruins, cavern, dungeon, snow). A seed gives a reproducible landscape — the same seed yields the same map.

Hundreds of assets

An owned top-down set: nature, furniture, creatures, treasure, effects, buildings. Drag, rotate, copy, resize.

Rivers and chasms

Draw a riverbed and a chasm right on the map — drag the control points into the path you want.

Scroll labels

Annotate the map with labels on parchment scrolls — “mayor's house”, “ambush” — with adjustable size.

Movement grid

Turn on a square grid with adjustable cell size to count movement during combat.

Show on a screen

Open the map on a second monitor or TV in fullscreen and switch it from the dashboard during play.

Campaigns

Group maps by game and scenario, duplicate the good ones, and drag them between campaigns.

Table rotation

Strictly top-down art: rotate the map 90° for any player around the table — everything reads the same.

How it works

1

Pick a location and seed

Forest, town, tavern, ruins, cavern, dungeon or snow. The seed sets the landscape — change it until you like it.

2

Refine the map

Drag objects and creatures, draw a river and chasm, place scroll labels, turn on the grid.

3

Save and show

Collect maps into campaigns, and during play open the one you need on a second screen or TV.

Frequently asked questions

Which game systems does it work with?

Any tabletop RPG that uses top-down battle maps — D&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Savage Worlds, Cyberpunk RED, Shadowrun, Lancer and more. The maps are system-agnostic.

Is it free?

Yes — create a free account and start building maps right away.

Can I use it with a TV on the table or a virtual tabletop?

Yes. Show a map fullscreen on a second monitor or a TV laid flat on the table, or use it alongside any VTT such as Roll20, Foundry VTT or Owlbear Rodeo.

Do I need to install anything?

No — it runs entirely in your browser, on desktop or tablet.

Can I use the maps I create in my games?

Yes. The art is the project's own top-down set, so you can freely use your maps in home games, streams and online play.
