RealmWeave’s AI map generator is designed to allow you to create playing surfaces that fit perfectly with the tabletop role-playing game you’re running or participating in. Your game should be immersive! So here are some tips and tricks for working with the RealmWeave map maker.
AI image generation is amazing, you can conjure beautiful scenes that are perfect for fantasy and sci-fi worlds in seconds. But we’ve found that AI isn’t great at dealing with negatives just yet. Telling an AI that you don’t want a waterfall in that picturesque image of a lake and there’s an excellent chance one will show up. So just tell RealmWeave what you want to see and if something shows up that you don’t like, there’s always the retry button.
The dimensions of an average battle map for tabletop RPGs are between 20 and 40 inches, any bigger and your map will be hanging off the dining room table. Keeping that in mind, we offer printing in two sizes, 24"x24" and 36"x36". Each inch is about five feet in the world of RPGs, so your goal should be to create a map that is around 120 feet by 120 feet for the 24x24 print or 180 feet for the 36x36 print. We promise no more math talk.
A digital battle map works best when the image is shown from a bird’s eye view, since that’s the view you have as you move your characters around on its surface. When you generate an image, we make adjustments in the background to encourage the AI to create images from that point of view, so don't bother to mention the camera angle of your scene.
Adding gridlines to custom battle maps is an excellent way to help you track character positioning and movement, but we’ve found it’s something AI struggles to do on its own. Instead of asking the AI to add the grid to your image, just check the add gridlines box after you’ve created the image you want. We’ll fit the size of the grid to the image perfectly so that each square is exactly an inch.
