Love good Isometric maps

isometric maps are so nice!

I don't have a timeline in place, but definitely! They're a nice change of pace.

Have you thought about making more Isometric Maps?

Congrats! I think you are the first to notice. :)

I haven't used Roll20 in some time. Is it possible to turn off the grid and the grid snapping, and just eyeball the tiles?

It's nice, although seeing as I mostly use these maps in Roll20 it's not really possible to use maps like this as far as I can tell. Looks great, though!

LOL, I just looked at it again and the cat is a nice touch!

It's a gorgeous bridge.

Thank you! As a DM that always has a whiteboard handy, I think those invisible areas can be handled rather easily. I plan to reserve the isometric style for maps where there's no "playable area" hidden.

You could make two maps to show the other side if necessary. They look as though they would be symmetrical.

I think the concept is great and obviously the coloration and lineart is beautiful. It is true, that it is not as versatile as a top-down map, but the visual appeal is much higher for me with this style. For an encounter on the bridge there should be no problems, but if players want to jump down etc. the DM would need to rule how this is handled. However, I don't think that detracts from the overall appeal or its usefulness.

I really like it, and very well may try and use it soon. I did not think of what Jason mentioned, I see his point. I guess I will just make that be un-navigational terrain that also does not count as distance for those spaces.. will have to think about it, see how it works out. I think it looks phenomenal though

Artistically it is up to your usual high level of quality. I don't use ISO maps because you lose terrain. For example, what is lurking on the other side of that bridge? I do see the appeal for some though.

I have used a few old isometric maps. I play with miniatures, so I stretch them to makes the squares actually square. It works and looks so-so, but is easy to do from a regular isometric map. Just scale in one direction. And I can still show off the better-looking original.
