In this tutorial, I talk about my process for creating exciting maps for your Tabletop RPG adventures, starting with a look at designing the purpose of the map, drawing a diagram of encounters, adding choice and realism to the environment, and finally detailing the map for use at the table.

I also showcase what a polished map might look like, building the example using a Tile Set on Roll20. You can find the Blue Maps Tile Sets on the Roll20 store at https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/publisher/519/minotaur-games

This lecture was broadcast live on my Twitch channel and is followed by a Q&A with folks in the chat. You can join in the fun every Saturday at 4pm at twitch.tv/JasonBulmahn
