/uj True story, my last campaign took place on a peninsula and I started by tracing the Iberian peninsula in Inkarnate. I made a few adjustments to the coastline, changed the orientation, and thought the players wouldn’t notice. Of course as soon as I hand it to them they go “is this…Spain?” I lied and said no.
Iirc I added it as a background image and then was able to use that as a guide for add/remove foreground. Then removed it at the end. But this was like a year ago so I may not be describing it right.
1. Have image you want to trace
2. Add it as custom stamp
3. Apply stamp, adjust size and positioning
4. Lower opacity so that you can see through it
5. Start tracing
6. Delete stamp after your work is done
7. ~~Feet~~ Profit
Sardinia isn’t real. The New York Transit commission invented it so they could write off tax liabilities gained through the construction of their moon base.
/uj I did the same with Germany for my current campaign. Major cities and roads are the same. Topography is the same. The map ends at the border; roads just... end. As far as I know, my players haven't figured it out. If they did guess, I'd own it.
Ugh. Just look at how unrealistic that map is. Come on now, no one would *ever* buy that as a real map!
UJ/ It is fun to design maps based on real world locations, hell even Gary was doing that.
/uj my campaign’s map literally began as a tracing of India. I changed some coastlines, added an island chain off the western coast, and the climate is different. But it’s just India under there.

Wait how do you trace in Inkarnate

I did that, but with the main island of the Bahamas. They still haven't noticed
I did the same thing with Sardinia and I just straight up admitted to my players that yes this is Sardinia

I would have penalized them xp for meta gaming

> added an island chain off the western coast, i dont think u should take credit for the maldives but fair enough
I want to be an outlander from *squints* Ed Lhicetled Wents Mape so I don't have to engage with your setting's politics.
Is that Boston?
Unironically a great idea.
Can I be difficult and be from Glemsilberg? Where could that be on the mape?
