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.

OMG OMG OMG Thank you for Version II!!!
Not tablet friendly unles you have a mouse. A large square appears in the map and I cant get rid of it at all.
> jmn
You double-click on rpgmap.exe in the extracted folder.
Okay so I downloaded it and it's in a zipped file, extracted the files but it keeps showing that the file is zipped and I have no idea how to run it.
> BUG REPORT <
Il y a un bug de texture avec les surfaces liquides des maps, qui, si elles sont différentes et séparées de un mur, débordent toutes et toujours sur le bas et la droite.
Un exemple : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CgG1Rj_tKMhtTHmt4aS2x6zRIkS-BP6L
Salut ! Merci de l'avoir signalé, je vais corriger ça dès que possible :)
Amazing been using since you started, i have noticed when i export anything higher then 100 and as a png i get a network error cant download. But i can download a normal sized jpg. But nothing larger and no pngs maybe its my computer or network but just thought id put it out there. Thanks for your dedication!.
I was planing on putting plugging my laptop into a tv and using the lights sources as characters so they could only see the parts of the map that are lit up, but when I try to move a lightsource, the selectable area for it is a 5 square + sign instead of only the square of the source. This makes it so that if 2 or 3 lightsources are next to eachother I have no idea witch will move when I drag my mouse. other than that though this map maker is amazing, and I'll still use it even if that bit isn't fixed. Thank you!
is there a way to import a png into this for a map?
Just wanted to say a big thanks for this – so easy to use.
I am sure you get loads of requests for add ons, :) some cool options would be to be able to change the ground to snow/winter feel and to be able to change the colors of the trees – eg no leaves for a winter or dark sinister forest
When I try to export a large map as a PNG, it zooms into a random spot and doesn't get the entire map… Can this be fixed?
Hey man, really nice program! Any idea when the next update will be? Also, do you plan on adding more Textures, Objects, etc?
When I try to run this on a browser on my laptop, most of the interface gets cut off. Is there a way to fix this? Everything below the line of objects that includes door and window is out of view, and I get the sense there are more options down there.
You should try the following things: make sure the zoom level of your browser is no more than 100%, and try using the browser fullscreen mode. I'll add a real fullscreen option in the next update :)
Hi, I just started using this editor and it seems great, but I was wondering if its possible to import or otherwise add more terrain/ground textures? It feels like theres not much variety in those that are included.
Hi, sorry, don't know if I can reply, so I'll just post a new comment
yes, after the testing you suggested, it does seem like a visual artifact. It exports just fine, the grid appears only while zooming, disappearing when the image becomes static again, and at different zoom lengths the grid disappears in different ways. It's very strange. As long as I can properly export my maps though, I'm not complaining. Thanks!
Hi, thank you for this fantastic tool. I've been using it for all my maps for my campaign since I found it a few months ago.
Since then though, I have found that when I load the tool, the grid doesn't fully load. The result is the grid showing up on parts of the map, and not on others, seemingly at random. Is this a bug that's happening to multiple people? Is this a known error? Or am I doing something incorrect in the updated version? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi! It's probably only a visual artifact: if you zoom in (using mouse wheel), the grid should be visible everywhere at 100%. If you export your map as an image, do you see the grid everywhere?
Thank you for this editor.
In case you take feature requests here, I would like you to add following:
* Custom default background color for map (not only dark, parchment, etc)
* Custom "Special water" RGB-color (not only the few premade)
* Option to have more "Pools / Special water"
* Button for removing existing pool (Like remove existing ground)
* Option to rotate text.
* Option to tint "Grounds" by type (not only the global tint)
* Add more Grounds-type (like road, railway)
* Add more tree-types (e.g. fir-tree)
* Option to make a bridge. The only way I see now, is to create "Generic heavy furniture"
I'm trying to create an icy environment and those additions would be great help.
Thank you.
A great mapping tool. Would it be possible to be able to do circular features and curved walls in a later version?
Hi! Unfortunately, curved walls are not planned for now.
How do you print your maps off? I can't find it anywhere
I've been using this to create different maps for my homebrew world and i'm loving it, but one thing is missing that I can think of right now and that's SNOW! I think that would be a cool thing to see.
Hello from Canada! I've been using this tool for some time and I have to give you credit to where it's due. This new version is great to use. I however have an issue with uploading maps in the browser. I cannot seem to upload either new maps I just made (in .json files) or older maps I made on the first version. It should work right? Can anyone look into this? Thank you.
Sure! Can you send me your maps? You will find my e-mail in the "?" menu in the top right corner of the app :)
