Make nice looking RPG maps easily.
RPG Map is a tabletop oriented map editor
with the “keep it clean & simple“ philosophy in mind.
About
RPG Map is a tool I’ve built to make maps for my tabletop RPG sessions, with my friends. It’s born from the fact that most existing tools were either looking bad or were simply overly complex to use.
My approach is to make an easy to use tool to create beautiful maps quickly.

Maps created using the app
This program is really not bad, and i have started using it in my starting planing phases and i get its suposed to be simple. It just needs a few extra features that are missing in my opinion.
It would be nice to be able to change the wall colors like the other items to make diferent wall types in one scene. On top of that it would be nice to be able to make walls between the grid tyles instead on the grid ti make thinner walls for houses
and lastly the ligts look great, but when trying to make fireplaces and other it would be great to free place the lights instead of grid locked
It's a pity you don't have a donate button! I'd
without a doubt donate to this superb blog! I suppose for now i'll settle for
book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google
account. I look forward to new updates and will share this blog with my Facebook group.
Talk soon!
Thanks so much for this can't believe it's still getting updates, makes me so happy :')
Its impressive how hard is to find this type of hidden gems tbh. I discovered this yesterday and so far its amazing. One thing that tickles me is how we could add our own grounds
there is a smart way to draw hill, slope, cliff, differences in high?
This is amazing, one thing I can't print, export, or import properly
Sorry about that! You should try the downloadable version to see if you also have the issue
I've been using your shit for almost as long as I've been dating my girlfriend (about 3 years). this editor is niiiiice. One thing–can you make a way that you can get hex-type walls and stuff? It would be a big ask, but getting everything to adhere to a hex grid could be really really nice
Just started fiddling with the software, so I'm nowhere near experienced with it; its actually the first bit of map-making software I've ever tried out. However; it would be nice if one could increase the size of the UI.. I'm visually impaired and literally cannot read a thing of the text on screen in the program.. a way to increase the size of the UI would be great. Still think I can make good use of it, regardless.
you can add loading of composite images to walls and doors with windows, as well as add more starting images such as chests, tables and kitchen items
This is an awesome mapmaking tool! Easy to use with simple but detailed graphics… I like it a lot, but I'm having one major problem.
I've created a quick map, but when I click the "download map to my computer" it shows the "preparing map file.." and nothing else happens. Is it browser dependent? Do I need to download the paid/windows version? Am I missing something? The image export works fine, but I can't save my work for later use.
Thanks for all the hard work on this – it make my work as a GM so much easier!
You should check in your Downloads folder, there should be a JSON file there The windows version is "pay what you want including free": you can pay if you want, but you can also download it for free, and it's fine
Cool i was aurprised with this mapeditor.its like some unity 2d sprite pipeline i love this. Thankyou for this beautyful piece of software
Could you please re-upload v15? The thin walls implemented the way they are render the program unusable.
You can re-download version 15.4 on ItchIO download page: https://deepnight.itch.io/tabletop-rpg-map-editor
Amazing tool for create my maps. I create my own campaign in Cyberpunk 2020, and i'm using Deppnight to generate images for Roll20, and works fine.
Actually no matter if someone doesn't understand then its up to other users that they will help, so here it happens.

I love this software, but there are two things that really irk me.
First is the walls taking up an entire space, rather than sitting in between them on the grid line. This can make it really hard to accurately import or copy dnd maps, and adds another level of frustration when describing them to players.
Second is the color and not being able to add rbg values or hexcodes to get an exact color and replicate it. Also being able to remove the lines on the wall texture would be nice when going for a style like the classic blue dnd maps or just going for any clean minimal style.
Overall though I just picked this up and it's definitely my go to from now on, cheers for all your effort.
Simple request but would be very useful, diagonal doors\windows etc.

Hello, if I will Pay by itch.io (there is 12$) – all this money will go for You ? I'm using Your map maker and it's amazing piece of software. I don't want to use it for free anymore.
I love the program, especially since I managed to find a bunch of assets to add into it. Only thing I honestly hate about it is the fact the lighting can only snap to spaces instead of being freely placed
I really want to pay but i still cannot, hit me up in 3 years i may be able then
