Hey guys!

I'm always looking to improve my work, especially for you. I'm curious, what aspect of a battle map is the most important to you? These results may influence where I take my maps in the future. Leave a comment expanding your thoughts too! It all helps.

Pick multiple answers.

Cheers!

Unique feature maps can be useful - but they can be restrictive, too, as you either need to be running an adventure which features such a unique location, or have written an adventure which does. And either way, they make a great set piece for a memorable fight, but lack reusability, so it's useful to have a mix of unique features and reusable maps. As for the size question, if I'm using a digital map, I'm going to be using it on a VTT of some kind, so size isn't a huge issue, and bigger is more useful (especially if you're likely to have characters (players or NPCs) with ranged weapons (especially in settings where firearms may be common)). If you need the players to start closer to the enemy, you can always drop their tokens closer in ...

Nice, thank you so much, Simon! This is super useful feedback, so perhaps maps that include a set-piece but additionally have a variant that removes the set-piece would be ideal for you?

Matthew.W

Awesome, thank you, Brie! I'll make sure to focus on variety for you. How would you feel about videos, tutorials and guides too?

Simon 'Landmine'

That sounds ideal - and probably not just for me - just as long as it isn't going to put too much extra strain on you!

Matthew.W

Awesome! Yeah I'm more than happy to honestly. I do enjoy making maps that I know I'll like but I also take a lot of pleasure in designing things that will fully be useful for other GMs. I guess another question that comes to mind, do you have any features that you'd personally like to see? Chances are, I'll follow through on them!

Matthew.W

Awesome! Then yeah definitely keep an eye out because I will see what I can do :)
