Mapping with Geomorphs
HI folks -
I'm warming up to start a new campaign with my son, sister- and brother-in-law, relatively low combat investigative campaign I think.
I shall need maps.
I like the geomorph tiles approach and have attempted to use it a few times in the past, but these and other maps have always been something which have taken me too long to create.
I've always been terrible at drawing, I'm vaguely competent with gimp and similar, but my work is error prone and takes a while. I can however, code (QA teams at my employer may beg to differ), and AI tools make me faster/more able to complete projects in the limited spare time I have.
As such, I've pulled something I think it useful together, and wanted to share it with the community.
It basically leverages the excellent Geomorph tiles by Eric B Smith (which in turn are made from the e-book/pdfs created by Robert Pearce), and provides a (rudimentary at the moment) file browser from which you can drag tiles onto and around a canvas, join them together, rotate them, etc to create your deck-plans, maps, etc.
Your creations are all stored locally (browser storage, if you nuke your browser, you will lose the layouts), can be downloaded as PDFs, and I've built in a very basic "sync saves to the cloud (uses Firebase)" so that the risk of browser storage nuking is limited.
Anyway. It exists now.
You're all more than welcome to use it (unless/until it starts costing me a problematic amount of money to host/run and I have to pull it down, this seems unlikely however, given the limited cloud data storage), and I'd be delighted to receive your critical feedback (I've got some known bugs to work through), and your recommendations for improvements.
