I think it helps a lot and so far they have said so as well.īut if you are in person, you can just use miniatures and pencils or pens for walls, quarters for table tops, and things like that. I saw a mod called 3d Canvas but i dont know if its compatible with dungeon alchemist files. Im very glad with the results, but ill like to know if there is a way to use the 3d model of the map in Foundry instead of the usual top viewed 2d map. ![]() And since we play virtually and have no miniatures, I like having the visual of the nice map for the players. Dungeon alchemist is a map maker powered by an AI, its fast and fun too use. For instance, there is an auto-import module to Foundry that sucks in the DD export and automatically sets up doors, walls, etc (it doesn't do a good job with windows but oh well). Mostly though, I think DD is useful for people who play online, and use a VTT like Roll 20, Foundry, etc. If you're just doing say the interior of an inn you can be done in half an hour, unless you're super picky like me.

All the fancy stonework and enhancements are nifty but you will spend a lot of time making it look good for only what may be a few minutes of use.ĭon't take me wrong, this looks like beautiful software, but spending that much time on cosmetics really takes away from the important part, making it interesting and challenging. What you really need is something that can generate grids that you can mark up with specifications for the places on the map. Unless you have a plotter you are not going to print out a lot of combat maps, or your going to be printing them out and taping them together unless you happen to have a plotter. Meaning I run my games with miniatures and for me combat works great on a 1 inch grid. ![]() ![]() The only issue I have with software like that is actually using it to play.
