We talk about the design process of a giant village map I am creating for the Zweihander Starter Kit! This map is designed for a Village Crawl style ttrpg, where player characters are going to be in the same village for most of the adventure!

My group was exploring a Cyclopes ruin and I did some on the fly stick figure sketches to emphasize the scale and I was surprised at how impressed my players were and how much the read into the doodles.

Heck yeah! Just a little visual aid goes a long way!

This is such an underrated channel. Really never found a channel that has so much useful content as well as beautiful maps to boot. Really made me want to explore art and isometric maps and they are definitely so much more interesting to work on AND play on! Thanks crow :) wishing you the best

Thanks for the kind words!!

I enjoy all of Map Crow videos

What a beautiful map! I love how evocative it is, as well as the advice you give on village mapping. Have pretty much no art skills, so what I end up doing is starting with literally a blank sheet; when the players go somewhere, that gets put on the map. The longer we play, the cooler the map ends up being.

Thank you! It think that sounds like a great way to keep a map!

What a piece of art!! Awesome work!

@davidearley5681 Год назад

Because of your great videos I’m going to make a map that actually represents my family tree! Thanks so much!

@UnVanced Год назад

I was playing Zweihander today and the DM pulled out a large print-out of the map, and I was wondering why it looked so familiar. Had to come back to find this video and leave a comment!

@mapcrow Год назад

Heck yeah!! It's fun that these maps are out in the wild now!!

@JPCoovert 2 года назад

YES YES YES!!! Well said and looks AMAZING!

Amazing! I love all the little details, is good watching you make maps again

@mapcrow 2 года назад

Glad you enjoy it!

@ultralurker7579 2 года назад

Your maps inspire me to make a village crawl and cram it full of artsy midevil houses!

@davididiart5934 2 года назад

I've taken up isometric map-drawing because of these videos. So inspiring! Would love to see how you'd do a map for a big jungle sprawl.

@mapcrow 2 года назад

Great suggestion! Thank you!!

@TronHammer 2 года назад

It is so soothing, watching you draw all these maps :D

@mapcrow 2 года назад

Cheers!

@cameronframent8976 2 года назад

I love you nerdy infectious enthusiasm.

@mapcrow 2 года назад

Thank you so much!!

@paulh3892 Год назад

This is so cool! Also, it’s so refreshing to see some traditional art!

@Myzelfa 2 года назад

That's a beautiful piece. I don't have the patience to produce something like that, but I'm tempted now to go play Townscaper and make something kind of similar.

@jabronijones90 2 года назад

I could watch you do these drawings all day

@rathaventerriniel8162 2 года назад

Once again amazing work.

@wakeful1710 2 года назад

James Intracasso (I think that’s how it’s spelled) is a Brilliant designer, super cool that you got to work with him!

@trappleton Год назад

Whoa, you made maps for Zweihander? How awesome!

@Wartpig 2 года назад

So cool! Your maps inspire me to create! Would it be possible to see your annotated village maps that you use for your home games I am not artistically inclined and I’d like to see your PowerPoint and Google Slide Map? Seriously underrated channel.

@mapcrow 2 года назад

Thank you so much!! Yeah, it would be fun to show off my power point map!

@thrasher18josh50 2 года назад

@mapcrow 2 года назад

Thank you so much!!

@dannbass Год назад

Beautiful work, I´m working on a map of my town, I taked some ideas like grid on the back, very inpiring.

@carloshenriquedejesuspires9266 2 года назад

Tu é muito fofo, gosto muito do jeito que tu fala e explica sobre seus mapas da pra perceber que tu com muito amor (You are a cutie, i luv the way that you talk and explain about your maps, who sees can realize that they are made with luv - sorry for my english)

@mapcrow 2 года назад

Thank you so much!! I'm glad to know I'm a cutie!! Cheers!!

@Ivan-jx8tw 2 года назад

I found your channel just a few days ago, and oh my, you give such valuable content! I love this and, even if you don't mean to tell us that we should get art skills, you are so good that i'm definitely inspired to!

@SpaceSoups 2 года назад

I'd like a video of you drawing those "powerpoint box" maps.

@mapcrow 2 года назад

I’ll add that to the list!

@dakotagarcia997 Год назад

.. how do you handle travel vs movement gameplay? Im making my own heart breaker (my own TTRPG) and I want to make it more explicitly gameist and lower narrative play.. however travel and movement feels terrible without narrative jumping or leading? Is it possible to go from Hex to city map to gridded combat without heavily relying on “the party makes its way to the cauldron district” ?

@grzegorzjuszczyk932 Год назад

Hi Awsome map, there be a chance have a scan this map?

@mapcrow Год назад

This map was commissioned for the Zwiehander Starter Kit. You’ll have to purchase a copy of that to get the map.

@Yeldibus 2 года назад

How would you tackle mapping out a larger city? I want to play with my players AND the map like you described. Does it work on a larger city scale as well?

@Baronzemo44 2 года назад

What gray "shadowing" pencil are you using?

@mapcrow 2 года назад

6B from a pencil set I’ve had for 12 years, hahah

@godoforder1828 2 года назад

Ey man, can you tell me the name of the paper sheets you buy with these neat squared tiles?

@mapcrow 2 года назад

I added a link to download the grid I print out into the video description!

@cashincheks 2 года назад

how do you print the blue lines that you ink right over? digital drawing then print?

@mapcrow 2 года назад

I scan in a pencil drawing that I make on paper, then use Photoshop to change the lines blue.

@cashincheks 2 года назад

@@mapcrow Oh wow that is a impressive. Obviously the art is excellent, but that is a lot of work to draw, scan, ink. I have been practicing isometric drawing since being inspired by your videos, but I am encountering the true amount of work in proper art work. It's good for me to know! Thanks
