What is Canvas of Kings?

This top-down mapmaking tool lets you draw and adjust paths, plots, and rooms for fantasy towns and landscapes. You can place hand-drawn objects yourself or let the tool populate areas automatically, then export all or part of a map as an image with an optional grid.

For you if...

  • +you make outdoor maps for tabletop role-playing campaigns
  • +you enjoy designing fantasy towns at your own pace

Not for you if...

  • −you want a story-driven RPG rather than a map editor
  • −you need direct virtual tabletop export instead of images
  • −you need built-in assets for modern or science fiction settings
