Use the map editor.

The editor combines a map canvas, editing tools, a selection palette, and controls for saving and export.

Place your first terrain

1. Create a map or open a saved map.
2. Select Tile Stamp from the tool buttons.
3. Choose a terrain tile from the palette.
4. Click a hex to place the tile. Choose another tile to change terrain.

The palette appears for tools that need a selection. Previous page and Next page reveal more choices.

Move around the map

Select Move and drag the canvas to pan. Arrow keys also pan the view. Use = or Numpad + to zoom in, and - to zoom out.

Panning changes your view. It does not move terrain or the party.

Choose a tool

• POI Tool adds a location marker to existing terrain.
• Roll and Explore generate terrain around a chosen hex.
• Crawl moves a party token across the map.

Roads draws paths, roads, and junctions. Rivers draws directed watercourses.

Use Toponyms to draw a Line label or name an existing tile, POI, road or river in Point mode.

Hover over a tool to see its name. Locked controls explain why the action is unavailable.

Edit with the keyboard

Select Keyboard Edit or press K. Move the cursor, select a tool with Tab, then press Enter to apply it.

Press Escape to leave the mode. The keyboard reference lists movement keys and mode-specific controls.

Changes save as you work. Check the editor's saving messages before leaving a map.
