Other World Mapper Forum

Hi, I thought as a few others had posted Intros i would do the same, despite being a late-comer to the party. I unfortunately missed the KS and only found out about OWM after the fact. However, as soon as the opportunity was presented I bought in as OWM is exactly what I had been hoping would appea...

Hi, All, I just joined the forums today. I'm a kickstarter backer but this is the first chance I've had to dig into the tool. I play a LOT of games. I'm in the video game industry, so table to gaming is my escape from my day job. I'm currently playing in a long standing Pathfinder game run by a fri...

OK, that out of the way, I'd like to talk about maps. AuldDragon has been using maps in his show. Obviously, he doesn't show the players the maps in advance, but we did get to redesign a spelljamming ship (a Wasp) by moving the internal walls around. I didn't do that map. One of the other players di...

I won a seat in a live-streamed game, last March! 8-) It's a Spelljammer game (no surprises there) hosted by someone called AuldDragon. We play on Roll 20, but it's broadcast on AuldDragon's Twitch channel . There are also recordings of games on AuldDragon's YouTube channel , for anyone who doesn't ...

We've turned our focus fully to the Mac and Linux ports right now, but we are hesitant to give dates. Our hope is to have the Mac/Linux beta's out with the first V1.0 release. * We know several people have been able to run OWM on a virtual machine in Mac/Linux (which is obviously not a long term so...

No review from me until there's a Mac version. :) There you are! :) Haven't seen you around for a while. Mac beta scheduled for the next release now (well, unless we need to make another release earlier fixing a nasty bug). I did get to fix most of the transformation issues with V0.9.3 - not sure i...

If we are speaking of future plans: do you have any estimate for the Mac release? I can't give you an estimate that I feel is honest, since there are too many variables involved. Mainly, since it was the last stretch goal it will be dependent on issues/slow downs with the other goals. Since we deve...

2.5D stuff sounds great. What I really need is for maps to look awesome. So if OWM can use magic to give me something that looks like I spent 4 months tinkering in World Machine, then I'd be happy to be able to do that by cheating and only spending half an hour adjusting a 2D map. I think that, if t...

Hi Efrem. Welcome to the Other World Mapper forums. I've got some friends who talk about their homebrew worlds over at the Homebrew Worlds forum at The Piazza (I hang out more in the Spelljammer forum). If you wanted to find other homebrew fans to swap ideas with, you would be most welcome to come o...

I've seen some people importing maps into Google Earth, or some sort of Google Maps API, that allows people to zoom into worlds from webpages (in a similar way to using Google Maps). Has anyone ever tried to do that? It looks really great and I'd love to be able to do that with maps that I make on O...
