In addition, try to find CC3 maps on Google and you’ll have difficulties to lay your eyes on many badass maps.

CC3 is a very complete, robust and complex tool, hence it has an extremely steep learning curve. DD is a really cool and good tool for battlemaps. I also studied a bit about Campaign Cartographer 3 (CC3) to assess its business viability.ĭPS is a bit limited and even though my first published adventure used dungeon maps made by it, I later replaced those maps by DD maps. I have tried a few: Dungeon Painter Studio (DPS), Wonderdraft (WD), DungeonDraft (DD) and Inkarnate Pro. There are plenty you can pick, some I don’t even know about. My recommendation is using a mapping software. If you want to focus solely on cartography, then it’s much more viable. Are you an artist, good with hand-drawn stuff? This can work however I should warn you that if you intend to use cartography along with content creation like publishing on the DMsGuild, I believe it can get tricky as hand-drawn maps take a huge amount of time. Step 1: The Toolįirst thing you need to decide is HOW you will execute the mapping. However I didn’t go into details on cartography itself, so this is going to be the topic for March’s post. Last month, in February, I talked about Reducing Production Costs And Increasing Profits With Cartography.
