Other World Mapper Forum

Stefanstr, I couldn't start one either, I think it might have some permission issues. Casey :ugeek: I did the same sort of thing, the first time I created a new forum over at The Piazza. :oops: :lol: I've checked and I am allowed to start threads in the Worldbuilding forum, so if you still actually...

Up to know I have ran games mainly in Forgotten Realms: Faerun. But I have dabbled with drawing some of my own maps - however, I usually give up because I can't bring it all together due to lack of system (which is where OWM comes into play). Another Forgotten Realms fan! Well met, Dan! :) Have you...

Do you think that it needs an entire forum?

I wonder if a sticky thread could do the job.

I'll be keen to see anything anyone else can make with OWM, when it gets released.

Mainly through lots and lots of shapes and grouping/combining functions. For example, if I want to make a forest, I'll use their existing cloud shape, color it green, and then copy it a bunch of times till I've outlined the region I want.

Hi, Looking around the other introductions threads, I see people from Canada, Germany and Poland... ...but I am an illithid from wildspace! RARW! :lol: Just kidding. My name is David, and I am a big big fan of the Spelljammer Campaign Setting, but I do use an illithid as my forum avatar (whenever I ...

Hi Paul. Great to see you are here. :) I've been writing a novel on and off. The main reason I've been false starting is I have yet to nail down my preferred format. I'm leaning towards a web, blog-like release, but I am nostalgic for that genuine novel feel. Perhaps something like CreateSpace could...

It's a semi-self created world. Myself and some friends have built a world around the "worlds largest city" product made by...well whoever, I forget - that we've been shared-GMing over the last half decade or so. So we've all added other cities and continents as time passes. And now I'm running a g...

This is a good discussion, as the major world I'm working on at the moment is a polar/scandinavian setting. What I have used in the past is a dodecahedron "net" template to work out how regional boundaries would fit together. How that would translate into a software program I don't know. I've used ...

I might use it for some RPG stuff, but my priority would be adding visual detail for my creative writing. Something I miss from older books is the old style maps that used to be inserted between chapters. To me it adds a mental pause from reading while adding level of detail which the reader may ha...
