Making a Map

This guide walks through how to create a map in World Wizard and connect it to the locations, encounters, and lore already in your campaign.

Before You Start

3. Decide what the map represents: a world overview, a region, a city, a dungeon, or a specific building

Maps are created from the Campaign section of the sidebar.

1. Open your active campaign

2. Navigate to Maps

3. Click New Map

4. Give the map a name that reflects its scope

Upload Your Map
