“Phenominal map making tool. I have used it since 2022 and it has allowed me to produce so many maps that my players love. Its really easy to make a simple set of rooms or entire castles. You can get super detailed in it…”

“Really cool and powerful tool that keeps getting better. I've used it quite a few times to make maps for sessions held in FoundryVTT.”
“Hard to decide whether to give it thumbs up or thumbs down. I'm changing my review of this product based on the incredibly responsive developer responding to my initial review. This software has many great features. It…”

“Looks cool for five minutes, then you realize you’re fighting the tool more than using it. Maps feel samey, control is limited, and anything detailed becomes a chore. The Discord doesn’t help either. The “helpers” act…”
“Not great especially for the price, there are a lot better tools that do the same thing for cheaper. I personally switched to inkarnate. Also the "automatically generate rooms" feature is greatly exaggerated from what…”
“Honestly I originally liked this tool. I used it a lot, and it worked fairly well with minor issues happening. NOW, since I upgraded my GPU it worked unbelievably slow, and crashed multiple times. When I try to make a…”

“Best battle map maker out there - HOWEVER - it is easy to get carried away making a map really pretty in 3D, only to realise when you convert it to 2D that it doesn't look quite so good... Flip to the top down view frequently as you build so you can confirm how it will look when…”

I used this for about 10 hours for making some quick indoor maps, which was fine for what I needed back then (though, there's a reason I stopped using this for indoors maps). Then, my other 120+ hours were all about outdoor maps, using just the…”

Anyone who’s used foundry knows that finding battle maps for exactly the encounter you’re planning is nigh on impossible or you have to pay a monthly fee to some sort of patreon that even…”
