Create Maps in the style of Josh Stolarz

“I’m frequently approached by people who are interested in commissioning a map for their role playing campaign or novel. Sadly, I have to turn many away because a custom map is just not within their budget. I created the Map Effects Fantasy Map Builder and now the City Map Builder so anyone would be able to create a hand-drawn map of their own in my style with just a few clicks and a little imagination.”
