Test

While researching other alternatives to Inkarnate (prior to their anti-AI policy announcement), I was reminded of Canvas of Kings. If you want to create wonderful scenes that have life in them and stick close to hand-drawn work, this is the tool for you. Here's a small farm road. #dnd #ttrpg

@mightofmerchants.bsky.social 's Canvas of Kings is dope. I cannot wait to use it more after working on a map for my #FFXIV #Daggerheart game today.

Now I can watch myself over-detail one specific portion of my map twice at the same time… EPIC!

First tutorial posted on how to use Canvas if Kings. (Software made by @mightofmerchants.bsky.social) Plot tutorial either next weekend or the weekend after. Apologies for the AI voice, I just hate how I sound and can’t stand to edit my own voice. Video: youtube.com/shorts/82Y2v...

I found @mightofmerchants.bsky.social pretty early on in my dungeon master journey, and I've been using their tool for my maps ever since. I love it. The style is definitely my thing, and my players seem to love it as well. ("I appreciate the Bendy Style Map." -a Player quote) #dnd

Finally got a YouTube channel working. First tutorial on how to use Canvas of Kings (map maker by @mightofmerchants.bsky.social) should be out on either the 17th or 18th, if not it will be the following weekend. I am going on vacation soon so behind on editing. Channel: youtube.com/@fumbledroll
