Making Globe Maps For Your Homebrew D&D Worlds

Ever since I showed off the globe view of my homebrew world of Istar, a bunch of folks have been asking for a video on how I made it, so here it is!

Happy first video back after the hiatus, everyone 🎉 I'd love to know how you'd use gloves like this in your campaigns here in the comments!

[@raff3486]

This will be especially useful for my homebrew world that concentrates on planets instead of planes of existence.

[@hjstackofbooks]

Ohhh thank you for showing Planetmaker! I've loved Map to Globe but texture is appreciated. I've done a globe map first so my next step is creating regions but zooming in seems to be finnicky with Wonderdraft. 😅

[@mariomorais9039]

segui sua dica e fiz um mapa mundi pra ambientar minha campanha. Ficou excelente

[@planetrebirthworldbuilder]

Thanks, I’m learning a lot about worldbuilding, Legend Keeper, and organizing all the information from your videos 😁

[@joshuahicks8511]

You should do a sci fi setting

[@IcarusGames]

I've got a sci-fi setting, just no ongoing campaign to play it in 😥 way back when, before youtube, when I first started Icarus I had a miniatures game and a whole sci fi universe to go along with it and I've just been waiting for an excuse to use it for half a decade 😂

[@PhoenixWrites2309]

Immediately back on form Anto. Missed ya :)

[@IcarusGames]

Thanks ☺️

[@Dracos_Productions]

I will definitely do this, out of curiosity have you done a flat world map guide or will you be doing one, I've wanted to make one for awhile but have no idea how to.

[@IcarusGames]

I've got a bunch of videos on different flat maps, but this is where I'd suggest you start: kzbin.info/aero/PL3cwve_r0qbEdTP1Uk34i7eNpMJ_0xgxb&si=GlTQOs0jni2pgtr3

[@Dracos_Productions]

@IcarusGames I've already watched those ones, I'm more interested in one about making an entire rough map so I can pick landmasses out of it

[@tearstoneactual9773]

Newsflash, you *can* do a 2:1 ratio in Wonderdraft.

[@IcarusGames]

Yep, I do mention that in the video. You can do a 2:1 ratio natively in inkarnate too, I just hadn't with my original map, which is why I showed how to "fix" that particular problem for folks who didn't have maps in the ideal ratio.

[@MrFinchx]

Our world is FLAT !!!!!!! YOU know this Anto!!
