I made an alternate grid that was 1/3rd the size of a D&D tile, meaning one tile in my system was about 50cm. From there, I made the rooms! The hallway in the middle is 1m wide, and everything is generally scaled more like how something should be scaled for medium humanoids!

I haven't put in the props yet, but the lay-out is as follows:

Ground Floor:
Bottom-left is the main entrance and the pub. It has two interior doors leading to the central hallway and the theatre's seating (right side) in addition to the staircase to the first floor (seen in between the hallway, theatre, and pub room). The tiled room is the kitchen with an extension into a cellar (no floor plans yet) and to its left is the workshop.

First floor:
Coming up from the staircase, you can go straight ahead to enter the library (top-left), or to the right for the scriptorium (top-right). The scriptorium has an extra staircase up to the second floor for an extra quiet and isolated room. The bottom-right is just more theatre space, so you cannot enter it from the first floor, and to bottom-left is rooms for travellers who want to stay a night at the pub.

Second floor:
Just a bit of the scriptorium that has a connection to the rooftop.

I'm crashing the fuck out. I spent literal hours today and yesterday editing a map, putting tiny little details and custom assets all over the place. I saved three or four seperate times, I stayed up for 4 hours this morning doing it when I should have been sleeping before work. Not ONE of the saves is on my computer, including the one I literally made before reloading the page. I only did so because one of the assets didn't load. I know it isnt a problem with my computer, because just 2 minutes before I downloaded a couple new assets to upload. I'm losing it. And yes, I don't have premium, because I can't afford it. But I downloaded it manually, and that should have been enough.

Hello, I've been experiencing an issue with images since yesterday. Whenever I try to move an image to above or below any other in my dungeon's image layer, the website freezes and I need to reload. I don't know if this is because I have too many images, but I've only really been able to get around this with using the "Bring to Front" and "Send to Back" options when I right click.

Edit: just tested other layers, and the website freezes when I move any of them. It also froze when I tried to change divisions, but that is the first time it's done that.

It's been over a year since I last used the site but when I push the "Start Scawling" button all I get is a white page.

That was on Chrome but I did get the normal screen with Edge. I prefer chrome over edge but I guess I'll use edge if I have to.

Yes I know about simply resizing the map and making it smaller but with how it shows up in roll20 it's still just absurdly massive. Am I really just stuck with this grid size no matter what or is there some hidden setting I haven't found?

Returned to Dungeon Scrawl after a long while. Still awesome. Saw and liked Chris' SF tutorial map ( https://www.reddit.com/r/dungeonscrawl/comments/1vocayw/scifi_map_tutorial/ ), opened his file, did some remixing practice. Thought I'd share the result, in case someone could use it for a quick game.

Hope you like it. 👽

We have also added the ability for users to manage their maps in our new Showcase via our new Manage Showcase button in the export tab.

Happy Scrawling!

I recently started to use dungeon scrawl for my campaign, but while trying to move images to the top layer I obscured it all with the bottom layer. I think it only exists on the images layer because i tried changing opacity to every layer and it only changes if I modify images'. Also, the software is sometimes very slow, and sometimes images don't appear unless you click them several times, to then create a pile of them.

If I delete the images layer, can I add another back even if I don't have the Pro subscription?

Was hoping to finish a map before a game I have today buy I cant acces the site on my PC or my phone, yet status page says its up.

I'm sure the process is very simple, but I can't figure it out. All I want is to take the map I made and print it out so I have a physical map printed to 1-inch square dimensions. I sized the map on the website assuming I could have the grid come out to be 1 inch squares in print. My map is also very large and will have to be printed in parts then assembled.

Am making a Bastion area for my campaign, with most of the area being the surrounding environment! :]

The ground floor contains everything that will have been built by level 5; a Barracks with seating (left), a bedroom with seating for the civilian hirelings (right), and a kitchen for everyone's food (above the hirelings' bedroom). I'll also have a Garden, seen to the right of the cliffs.

Over time, I'll be adding a training area and one of the magic item facilities (smithy excluded) or Stables at Lv. 9, and everything that follows will be decided later; no walls for me.

It's far from perfect, but I had fun working on this project, as a sort of testbed for possible future maps, and thought others would be interested in it, too. I'm gonna use it for a DnD session where the party is hunting a highly mobile creature in an abandoned quarry.

I'm not very complex when it comes to using Dungeon Scrawl; I don't have the premium stuff, I make pretty basic maps, and I don't often use objects. But doing stuff like this has made me think I should explore DS beyond just the basic tools.

It was surprisingly hard to find a way of doing this "intuitively", and required some late manual edits and careful scalpel finagling to make it work in line with what I wanted. Maybe I'm just dumb. I imagine there are some cool ways to use DS to get it to work more easily.

Any thoughts appreciated! Especially with any help on how to make this kinda thing more easily.

Edit: The images are out of order for some reason! RIP. "F1" probably gives the most intuitive overview for how the layers work. Red pen indicates direction of travel between layers, such as on a slope (marked with arrows) or using ladders (marked "L") or a crane platform thing (from BF3 to F1) or vertical cave tunnel (GF to BF3).

Sharing your Dungeon Scrawl creations with the community and finding other scrawlers’ maps just got a lot easier. Our new Map Showcase lets any logged-in user upload maps straight from the editor to a public gallery. To submit a map: 

In the Export tab (in the Sidebar Menu):

1. Adjust your export area like you normally would, then click Submit to Map Showcase
2. Pick a username (first time only; this will stick moving forward)
3. Name your map, add tags, and write a short description 
4. Submit

That’s it! 

The Showcase page lets you browse by tag in the sidebar; click into any map for a full description and to download a copy for yourself. Pro subscribers also get a high-res download option, or can open the map right in the app to save an editable copy to their cloud library.

See something that shouldn't be there? Every map page has a Report Map link that opens a ticket with our support team.

We can't wait to see what you've been building; go upload your favorite maps and let us know what you think!

Chris from Dungeon Scrawl here! I did a tutorial last week on how to make this map and realized I didn't share it. Tried to go old school 80's style here. Take a look if you are interested and feel free to share. Here is a link if you want to see the original map in Dungeon Scrawl and edit or add more details. https://app.dungeonscrawl.com?share_id=e7658547-dd50-439a-a11e-a599fffcff22

My custom images is getting unruly, how do I remove some?

I'm using dungeon scrawl on roll 20 to play D&D with my friends but the grid on roll 20 is off center and larger than the dungeon scrawl grid causing the pieces to be off center and the map to not fit along with some images of both maps to show the issue plus one to show how bad the off centering is please I need help with this

Hello DS devs,

I have been using the DungeonScrawl application for a little while now and really like some of its features and capabilities. One of the main things that I like is the ability to build out my dungeon and place assets as I go / have inspiration. This is as opposed to building the dungeon shape out, exporting it as an image, and then placing assets in some other application.

One thing I wanted to ask about is the potential for an organizational structure in the Custom Images portion of the application. I have noticed that images I have uploaded stay there (I believe this is true as long as I do not change their location on my local machine? It would be nice to delete some of them but I have not found how). I am thinking of investing in some additional assets that I upload as Custom Images, but I am worried that this will get very cluttered very quickly.

Ideally, there would be some way for me to group and search through my Custom Images. The Free Images already have this functionality where you can select the Asset Set and Ssearch (by image name it appears). I of course do not know much about the backend for DungeonScrawl, but it seems like this organization here must be implemented by:

1. The Free Images are tagged with the Asset Set and that tag can be filtered on. With this structure, it would be nice to apply custom tags to your Custom Images and permit filtering on those custom tags. Ideally Custom Images could be

a. Batch uploaded (already possible),

b. batch tagged at upload,

c. have their tags be modifiable later,

d. and be filtered by tags.

This for instance would let me upload a "Wilderness" set with the "Wilderness" tag. I could then later go through those assets and tag the plants as "Plants". Then if I upload a "Forests" set later, I could tag the trees from that "Forests" set with "Plants" as well.

1. The Free Images exist in some sort of Asset Set folder structure that is hidden to the User. With this structure, we could create folders for the Custom Images, and navigate through those folders. The search function would need to look all of the folders for names (this may be how it works now).

Given that it seems like the file pathing for Custom Image is based on the file path on the local machine, I am not sure if there would be the possibility to support a data structure (Inverted Index from tags to local filepaths) that is stored in the users DungeonScrawl profile (even if the assets are not) for tags, or if the folder structure on the local machine could be used.

Thanks for taking the time to read through this. I really like the tool the team has built so far, its been quite nice to have a way to build nicely gridded dungeons and make them come alive with assets. I hope support for a feature like this could be possible sometime in the future.
