[QUOTE="HaroldTheHobbit, post: 9491016, member: 7031679"] Allright. First, I might have lied at no. 1 :) I'm a long time happy user of the x-draft tools and like having manual control of my maps. But lately I've been using Dungeon Alchemist for basic fantasy battle maps, and it's simply amazing at what it does. Would I like a similar tool for different genres and way larger asset library? Yes please. Does pretty maps matter? Yes, but not at the cost of ease of use and control. Balance is the thing. I only game on Foundry, but don't want to weight the VTT down with internal mapping stuff. Importing external maps is fast and easy. Do I find map making fun? Yes, it's part of the prep and creative process of being a GM. But it's more about making a space for encounters and visualization, like a creative and possibility-filled arena for actual play fun, rather than fiddling with every minor shadow and detail - that is boring. I like art, but ain't no artist, kinda. [/QUOTE]
