World, Regional, & Continent Maps - In FoundryVTT! Using Mass Edit, Advanced Drawing Tools & More

While we normally focus on battlemaps, we're taking on something different today: World, Regional and Continental Maps built right in Foundry Virtual Tabletop! If you don't have a familiarity with a more "birdseye view" mapmaking software, or skill at creating my maps by hand, building out the larger scale maps of your world can be a daunting process. Even if you are a Wonderdraft wizard, sometimes you've just gotta make a map *fast*! We've found some phenomenal tools and techniques that make creating these larger scale maps super easy and incredibly satisfying. This is kind of a whirlwind tour of modules with Aedif's Mass Edit module and dev7355608's Advanced Drawing Tools module taking center stage. Check out the timestamps for all of the module and technique combinations that we explore! All of this crazy experimentation was very fun for us, but we want to know what *you* think. Did this inspire you to incorporate any of these modules or techniques into your own prep? Is this a solution looking for a problem? Should we add resources to our modules to support any or all of these techniques? Let us know in the comments or in our discord!
