Mapholm

For game masters

The land your campaign plays in

Draw the continent, its kingdoms and borders, the towns and the roads between them, and put your notes on the places that matter. Then send your players a link to look around in 3D.

Drawing The Shattered Marches

The Shattered Marches: a starting village, rival realms, a dragon's mountain, a haunted wood and a necromancer's tower. Click a place on the map to read its hooks, rumours and loot.

What it does

Everything has a place

Notes on every place

Give towns, fortresses and landmarks a description and notes. Click a place on the 3D map and they open, at the table or at home.

Notes for places

A world in minutes

Generate a whole world (land, rivers, towns, kingdoms, roads, borders, forests and names) and make it your own, or draw it coast by coast.

The generators

A link for the players

Share a world with a link your players can open without an account: to look around, not to change. Night and rain on the 3D map set the mood.

Saving and sharing

The 2D map

A map for the table

Download the drawn map as a PDF to print on A3, or as an image for a screen or a virtual tabletop.

Ideas

At the table

  • Put the dungeon, the ruined abbey and the smugglers' cove on the map, with notes on each.
  • Plan journeys with real distances: every road and river shows its length in kilometres.
  • Draw kingdoms and their borders, or have the land divided between the capitals for you.
  • Scatter ruins, fortresses and landmarks over the wilds for the party to stumble on.
  • Show the world on a screen as the party travels, by day or by night.

Good to know

Before you share

Players don't need accounts

Anyone with the link can open the world, in 3D or as a 2D map, without being able to change it.

Everything on it is shown

A shared world shows all its places and notes, so keep secrets off it for now. A game master's view, with things revealed bit by bit, is planned.

For any game

There are no rules or dice built in, so it suits whatever system you play.

Build your campaign's world

Open the Shattered Marches and make them yours, or start from an empty sea.
