First video I've seen. Looked at your list and decided I need to learn from you. Subscribed sir. Thank you. I've been at this hobby on and off since '81 btw. Great content even for an old schooler like me.
Naturalist maps are incredible world-building props but not all campaign styles or settings would benefit from them. Archaic maps are similar but criminally underrated because they give the important stuff but leave room for improvising where other map styles are a lot more rigid
Wonderful video like usual, also I just placed an order for a custom map, looking forward to going into the further details when it’s time to do so! Great video!
Both are good - honestly, I've yet to find a digital tool that hasn't been interesting and very useable, given a little use. If I've got an idea for a dungeon or realm in mind, I can use them to jot the location down quickly with a nice look. My personal issue with digital tools is that I find that I'm much more creative when I'm working by my own hand. I can stretch my imagination a little, and use the old Bob Ross method of the occasional mistake to add a detail I hadn't considered. Tools-wise, I would recommend Inkarnate, and maybe DungeonDraft for smaller locations?
Honestly I find that online tools (at least the free ones) tend to produce mediocre results without the charm that a mediocre drawing has. On the plus side, it's easier to erase with digital tools than it is with pencil and paper
Finally a channel of my own heart. Drawing maps is half the fun for me when it comes to rpgs.
Well, welcome! You should consider joining the Discord, if you enjoy talking maps and want to share your creations;

High praise! Thank you, Wayne.

Wizard, did you travel back in time to make this comment?

I kind of want to make one of those educational "WW1 in a history book" maps but for a fantasy war now
I tried my hand at a battle map early on, but a war campaign map would be very cool.

Brilliant! I've just sent you a response - it sounds like a fun concept
Love this! Great inspiration!
Hopefully it's of use!
@@RedQuills always is!
Great video
How do you feel about online tools like dungeon scrawl or incarnate? Also do you have any recommendations as to tools I can use?
@@radiation3570 Inkarnate is amazing ngl
Read my mind as a fellow under talented drawer. That or I'll just start paying this guy to do them for me 😅

Great video, but I feel like the voiceover is weirdly panned to the right
Thanks for letting me know, I'll give it a look
