D&D General Bastion Mapping Tools

[doctorbadwolf]

So, I’m wondering if anyone is mapping out their Bastions, and if so what you use?

Sigil seems set up well for it, but doesn’t run on my laptop. Maps doesn’t seem to be customizable enough. Any third party programs that are easy?

I use https://www.dungeonfog.com/ for online mapping of any sort. The free version is pretty serviceable (I have a paid subscription).

Just be careful about using the lighting tool - it's cool but can slow rendering to a crawl if you get too fancy.

I'm just going to use graph paper!

Looks like I’ll have to try it on desktop later, but I definitely will check it out.

My buddy is kinda doing that but I’d like to get a lot detailed thing going too.

I use worldographer/hexographer for mapping. I got it as part of a bundle a while back. Much lower bar to entry than CampaignCartographer, which seems to revel in having a totally unique paradigm (aka very unpleasant learning curve). I was able to build & furnish a manor pretty easily.

I’ll definitely look at it. Is it able to be accessed and edited by multiple people?

I’m curious if any f the suggested programs are collaborative?

I'm not aware of any collaborative mapping programs. Well, other than the really obvious idea of simply sharing the file back and forth, but, I doubt that's quite what you mean.
