Love how dense these guides are with immediately practical advice; I always end them fired up to do some mapmaking

[ralphwoodruff]

I love your detail to geology - I find some of it insightful due to my own ignorance. One of my main struggles is balancing biomes and deviating from standard into fantastical biomes.

[jonhaynie]

Fantastic! Great instructional and gorgeous map!

[arky_leon]

ah this is perfect timing as I'm making a map from scratch right now. It's a very lovely map ryan!

[Contramundum]

I love your beginning shots of your set up 🤩

I’m a fan of brush pens. It allows me to use one pen for multiple line thicknesses while inking the maps.

I caught a glimpse of a town/village named Twoflower. A bit of a shout out to the Diskworld’s first tourist or just a coincidence? 😊

Mountains are where continents push together and crinkle the crust. They come in multiples, such as the Cascades/ Sierra Nevada, then the Rockies. Same crinkle.

Where can I find the download to Kingdom of Endon map?

[macrocodespeedruns]

Idk if its just me, but the white text on the paper background is pretty hard to read.

I did really like the video though.

[Mekhami]

Can't stress enough how _unimportant_ plate tectonics are lmao. it's never useful, i don't know how this advice gets perpetuated so often @.@

[SageMasterRPG]

How about you make a map.... But you needed to say D+D to get the views.
