I like how you actually took a Bob Ross approach with this Video, by talking about dnd life lessons, while drawing. Ngl this video had a similar chill vibe.

Wonderful!

As a result of watching prodigious quantities of Bob Ross and Bob World Builder, I have merged the two mentally and I am imagining potential quotes: "There is nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend! Unless it is really a Treant, in which case you need to roll initiative and be prepared for two slam attacks"--Bob "The Ross" World Builder

The thumbnail immediately got me laughing & nodding, like "Yep, that really is the vibe you have" 😅. Had to check it out immediately, and the video did not disappoint. The map was fun, lots of good tips, and the cross-hatching really took it up a notch. 10/10 would watch more like this 😁

Glad you enjoyed it :) I hope to upgrade my digital drawing gear to make the process a little easier on myself, then I'll probably do more videos like this!

I have to be honest, at the begining I thought it looked quite bad, and adding the big brush lines looked like a mistake! But the final map is amazing, that will teach me to not judge stuff before it's finished!

This was a great video Bob. I loved the segue from drawing into the more philosophical tips for prep. What you said about zooming out on the drawing, as a metaphor for reducing our focus on campaign details is brilliant! Youre approaching Colville levels with your GM advice :)

Scale can be a very perspective-based measure. Did an exercise in the military doing land navigation using sketch maps from other people. One very enlightening exercise. I wouldn't worry too much about scale for a player map. A little uncertainty will keep it intereting. Have an NPC sketch a map in dirt or with ale on the table, then hand the players a sketch map. Another trick is to have an NPC describe directions thee ways: by visual landmarks, by road distances, and cultural/local "landmarks" or descriptions (or hard distance/directions, 3 km heading 45 degrees etc).

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO! Please please please keep being you and doing things like this. I wish I was remotely good at art because I am a huge perfectionist when it comes to things I put any real amount of work into and that drags me away from wanting to hand draw maps. However your tips about thicker lines for shading and to add depth to the image was really easy to understand. I haven't made a map by hand in awhile, but I am looking forwards towards it now. Thanks so much!!!

To be honest, I consider DM Scottie to be the Bob Ross of D&D, but this is a good video with a funny approach. I liked it.

Really love this video and how calming and meditative it is. Would love to see some more things like this in the future!

In my professional life I convert engineering data into manufacturing data so a worker can build/assemble a thing. We have a concept called minimum required information, which is essentially what minimum level of detail is required for the worker to correctly follow the instructions. We also seek to find the upper information limit, where additional information is more like to add confusion than clarity. I apply this to my encounter maps where i'm not trying to communicate a drone shot of the area, but to communicate what areas have what properties (here be grass, stealth be easier. here be rocks, they be cover. here be walls ye can climb if ye dare [not sure where the parenthetical pirate came from] ). if there's time I will pretty it up, but at a minimum the things the characters can interact with are on the map.

Yes wholesome That's the correct descriptive word for it 😇

17:55 this is so true. We just had a wonderful game with the most non-serious characters and unrealistic goal, and it turned into the most fun we've had in a long time. Game was concieved at midnight the day before. We made characters and went to sleep. Afternoon after we played and had a grand time, laughing almost non stop. A firbolg wizard drug lord. Minotaur gladiator. Washed up centaur samurai. Quest: Help firbolg wizard smoke a volcano sized bong

I use Dungeondraft for my encounter maps and Wonderdraft for world maps. The asset packs are amazing and the ability to control lighting in encounter maps is very nice for shadows. However I do freehand some of my impromptu encounter maps, but I often do so as a quick and dirty map. The ideas you throw around here are very useful, Bob. Particularly the use of crosshatching for depth and shadows.

Thanks man. I appreciate your work. I wish I knew you in real life. I bet you'd be real fun to hang out with. Plus I learn a lot from you!

if you havent already, id recommend looking up a tutorial on using a tablet with the drawing program youre using. the tablet probably has pressure sensitivity and that can really make a drawing look great, not to mention speeding up the process. you should also be able to tweak the sensitivity in settings, to choose if you want a wide range of variation with pressure or less, and if it changes brush size, opacity, or both! some fancy tablets also have pen tilt settings for certain brushes

Darker lines for foreground and/or shadows. Thinner lines--> effect of distance due to smoke/fog/air pollution.

I love the tips. I don't do much homebrew, mostly because I don't have the time to prep. This should cut down on prep time considerably, giving me the ability to cater my campaign more to my 5 kids. Still working through ROTFM Chapter 2!

Map wise I like to mix it up. Sometimes I use an old tv as map with detail sometimes just theater of the mind with drawn in the moment and sometimes I use 3d printed scenery. Unfortunately last year I couldn't play in person and needed online and the a detailed map works better to convey locations during battle or travel.

I enjoyed watching craft this map! Also I totally got the Bob Ross Vibe, even if the hair isn't quite right. However as a fellow Lazy DM I have to point out that you spent way too much time o n this one map for one encounter (and if its not your strong start that you may not even end up running anyway). You should have spent 45 seconds searching the internet and stolen, errr appropriated, a map. Which is what I am going to do know *heads to your Patreon*

I use flip over / easel paper, gridded and some markers. WASD20 has a nice, short tutorial video on it. The reason I use it is it's nice and big so you can make large dungeon maps! I cut out secret doors/areas and drop them on the table over the original map if the players find it. It's awesome! They usually take about 60-90 minutes to make.

If you are planning to do more digital content in the future, would it be too much to recommend investing in a greenscreen? It frees a lot of screen estate and lets the viewer focus on the subject even more

Not at all! I actually have one. Though it would be good to invest in one that's easier to set up because that's half the reason I don't use the one I have. The other reason being properly lighting it so it's easy to remove in editing. If I do many more videos like this, I'll figure it out :P

So i understand why you wanted to change up the bridge to be perpendicular to the road, because thats a professional bridge built out of planks in mind. I think you should have left it parallel with road/perpendicular to your ditch, because imagine felling a tree from one side so that it spans the ditch, then imagine splitting that log like a hotdog bun so you have two flat surfaces face up with the semicircle log underneath only touching the road at the lip of the ditch

@stevdor6146

I think typical 2 lane roads are 10-15ft. So just one cart barely able to cross is 5ft, which is why you'd want to add a log to either side, to widen it to 6 or more ft. Although i think most map/mini tokens represent carts with a "Large creature/object" thats like 2x2 tiles, apply squeezing rules to bridge crossing. Hah
