Draw a Battle Map in an Hour!

[@ZipperonDisney]

Love it! Especially the purposefully wavy lines!

[@dratzlogic]

Love love love. Your approach, your style, your communication process. Your creations always inspire me!

[@voltage_cc1784]

Yeah 😀 that about sums up my thoughts on this channel

[@_jayo.]

So so cool. Nearly 30 but I’ve started drawing for the first time (inktober) because I’ve been inspired by your vids and zines. Thanks for all you do!

[@shadomain7918]

I love that you fill in the blank space with non-repro blue, like old AD&D modules :D

[@grimmtales503]

Give Poska a call! Seriously. We would do well to know what is good-useful about all Poska pens. Show your big or small maps & detail-image-icons with various pens. I really don't know why i should choose a Poska pen over... a paintbrush... or a Bic™ pen? Excellent video - i love how you make the complex so straightforward and surprisingly fun.

[@Guy-Am-I]

How do you do secret doors for your party, and still pre-draw the map?

[@JPCoovert]

you could do a separate sheet of paper to put on top! i think that's better than covering it up.

[@coco805]

Really inspiring video. I'm gonna go find some giant grid paper and paint pens now. Cheers.

[@BaldyG132]

Thanks!

Good timing! My group had to take a 2 month break and of course the 2 sheet of whiteboard marker battlemap dungeon has been erased. So I will be recreating what has been explored on 2 sheets of 1" grid paper. Thx for a couple of good ideas to add. Peace

[@jeevesosiris]

Amazing work, well done

[@YokoChanAdventures]

Thanks for making this!! I am hosting an rpg camp and I was looking for a way to make a dungeon for my campers and this is it!!! Thank you!!!

[@Hellvector]

Awesome stuff JP! Inspiring as always!

[@dart1609]

Very great video and very great Map. Thank you for your content.

[@EruditeDM]

Dude, c’mon! You should get a sponsorship deal with POSCA markers. 👍🏼 Come to think of it, the Micron folks deserve a call from your agent, too! Lol😂

[@JPCoovert]

YEP! 😅

[@Micsma]

Oh my god I wish I found this channel soon oh my god

[@savevsjustin]

Awesome and inspiring! From what I heard in the video it sounds like when you use a map like this in play, the players can see all the details right away and that gets them excited to explore some of those detail. I was wondering if you've tried partially covering maps to leave details hidden until the players discover them? If so, any pros or cons?

[@JPCoovert]

I have tried both ways! Covering only seems worth it if you are really trying to hide something. It gets tricky if there are hidden pathways and secrets in the dungeon, so that's when I would usually lay down some black construction paper on top of undiscovered areas.

[@Raznag]

@@JPCoovert You can also draw ''secret'' area on a second piece of paper, cut it and just stick it to your regular map when the players discover it. THat's how I do it in my game,this way nobody see the secret room!!!

[@JPCoovert]

@@Raznag That's genius!

[@savevsjustin]

@@JPCoovert Also a bit mind-blowing for the players as the map changes right before their eyes!

[@iankelley7574]

Do you cover up the unexplored areas or is the entire map visible from the beginning?

[@JPCoovert]

Hide it if there's something secret, but otherwise, just leave it all visible!

[@AceneDean]

What scale would this be? It looks awesome!

[@JPCoovert]

It's a 1inch grid!

[@AceneDean]

@@JPCoovert oh! I meant to ask what scale it was to represent. Is each square 5 feet or 10 feet or something specific?

[@JPCoovert]

@@AceneDean Probably 10!

[@jgcurtissr]

I started watching your videos this week and I'm through a year or two. Have you ever looked at Animal Adventures? It runs with 5e with one or two rules to make it child ready. I've been dm'ing for my wife and daughters.. good fun.

[@GMSlimChance]

Awesome videos and your drawings are inspirational! Are you using a PC-3M to add the dungeon detail in? Thanks so much!

[@JPCoovert]

Yes!

[@stevieuh]

POSCA SPONSOR 👏 THIS 👏 MAN 👏

[@peasedustin]

you are the man!

[@lutzdalkowski]

The booklets are probably not available in Germany, are they? A download version would be very helpful here ... maybe there will be one in the future.

[@JPCoovert]

I ship to Germany (it's expensive unfortunately) and the both digital books, plus a lot more, are available on my patreon!

[@lutzdalkowski]

@@JPCoovert Thank you! This is very helpful!
