The Kingdom of Valen, the "main character" of the setting "The Gunpowder Kingdoms"

Tried posting all three of my maps yesterday but Reddit compressed the image, instead I'll just post them one at a time.

I'd love advice on how to make the map better, if its easy to implement. Not sure if I want to remake the map from scratch.

I'd be down to answer any questions about the lore and worldbuilding.

If you guess the original inspiration for the island, I'll show you another much older map...

Dungeon Masters, At one stage of your campaign's development do you make your world map?

I'm slowly starting to work on my next campaign, but am conflicted on the order in which I should go about it.

On one hand I want to make the map of the city the campaign will take place in so I'll have a frame of reference when fleshing everything out.

But on the other hand making the map now means any changes to the worldbuilding could result in the map needing revisions.

So my question to the Dungeon Masters is;
When do you start/make your map when working on a new campaign?

  • Do you make the map first and adapt the story your telling to the result?
  • Do you make the map and campaign in tandem, slowly working on both at the same time?
  • Do you flesh out your setting first and then make your map based on that setting?
  • Something else I can't think of right now?

Looking for feedback and morale boost

Hi everyone,
So I found out that when I moved PCs a few months ago, about 3 maps I worked very hard on are gone forever. This has really bummed me out and kinda killed my motivation.
I was origianlly trying to create a map for each region in my world.
I was hoping for some feedback that might give me idea or help me get back to it.. Or any feedback, really.

These are 3 maps of regions of my world being:
First map- Esoterica - A region built on the maw of a dormant volcano, with streams of magma below keeping the the zone much hotter than it's surrounding frozen peaks.
Second Map - Hetter - Home of the humans, Hetter is the cradle of empire spanning 2 continents, with Palecourt being it's capital.
Third Map - One of the smallest regions, Redmarsh, is often a place for outcasts and misfits, with it's famous gigantic red mushrooms towering from a distance.

I have do not know how to properly stitch these maps together, so apologies if borders look unclear. I added the original Layout of the world as a final image.

Thank you in advance

Hey guys, quick question here. In one of my maps, there is a region in which a magical catastrophe occurred, leaving the land scarred.

How would you paint this magical scar? Are the assets? Painting combinations? I'm not sure how to approach it...

Would appreciate some advice and you are more than welcome to showcase your work!

Thank you!

I've been working on a map containing all my homebrew places i've made over the years. It's a bit chaos. I'd love to hear your comments/feedback/questions.

Thanks!

So this is a map I'm making for my fantasy world and I'm having a lot of difficulties with blending biomes, trees and mountains.

I haven't done the rivers, cities and other fill-ins yet but I want to know how I can improve the blending between biomes and make the whole continent more realistic.

If there are any questions please let me know.
