Editor’s Note: How Did I Create This Map?

I create the maps using the online tool Inkarnate. I'm not affiliated with or sponsored by Inkarnate, so everything I say is my honest opinion of the tool.

I found it to be the best for creating both regional and world maps and battle maps, with the additional help of Photoshop and Figma to make them look older and worn. I prepared the file for printing and made sure the squares were correct according to my minis.

If you want to find inspiration for existing battle maps or try your hand at creating your very own maps, I highly recommend Inkarnate!
