Dungeon Scrawl
OLD SCHOOL MAPS IN MINUTES
Dungeon Scrawl is a mapping tool developed by Keir, aka @ProbableTrain. It aims to be an easy-to-grasp tool with a high skill ceiling, empowering artists by automatically taking care of the most time-consuming stuff. Thanks to overwhelming support from Patreon and elsewhere, he is able to release it for free for everyone. Enjoy scrawling!
STYLE PRESETS |
NEW UI |
Get started with a selection of inbuilt styles, then customise them yourself using the various styles controls available in the sidebar. | Functionality is all available in the UI, but there's a comprehensive set of keybinds for power users. Soon, bindings will be customisable. |
MULTI-PAGE PDF EXPORT |
EASY VTT COMPATIBILITY |
Set the real-world grid size in inches or cm, and you can export a properly-scaled PDF that spreads the dungeon over multiple pages. You can customise the margins and paper size to your liking. | With customisable pixels per cell and grid dimensions in the filename, it's easy to export maps to use in existing VTTs such as Roll20. |
IMPORT GENERATED DUNGEONS |
IMAGE IMPORT |
With TSV import, you can generate a dungeon using Donjon: Random Dungeon Generator, import into Dungeon Scrawl, then build upon, edit, and export it. | Import assets like these from Two Minute Tabletop to populate your dungeons. Set the pixels per cell, and they'll automatically be scaled to fit the map. Soon there'll be a library of images included with the tool. |
VARIETY OF BRUSHES AND TOOLS |
LAYERS |
Pick from a selection of brushes and tools, from regular polygons to brushes that automatically make rough caves and tunnels. Use the copy-paste and mirror tools to easily create repeating sections. | Add layers for dungeon areas and images, and change their opacity and blend mode for creative results. This example features a paper texture with the 'multiply' blend mode. |
ISOMETRIC EDIT MODE |
FONTS |
Once you have some familiarity with the tool, you can use this view mode to create isometric maps. | There are a variety of inbuilt fonts to add titles and labels to your dungeon. You can even build sigils and use unicode symbols. |
