About Battle Map Studio

Battle Map Studio is a playful map editor and RPG sandbox that makes world building fun, simple, and social. Use a variety of practical and amusing tools to paint forests and rivers, generate mountains, and construct houses. Build solo or collaborate with multiple players in real time online to bring your world to life!

With a growing collection of props, furniture pieces, and items to build with, you can let your imagination run wild while decorating castles, inns, and dungeons. When you’re finished building, set the mood and time of day using the light and fog controls. Then, populate your world with characters and creatures to set the stage for playing RPG campaigns.

With Battle Map Studio, you can...
  • Paint elevation, trees, and rocks, with a resizable brush, paint bucket, blaster, or draggable area.
  • Build in Column or Voxel mode.
  • Change scene lighting, fog, and time of day.
  • Build multistory forts and dungeons and furnish them with a variety of props.
  • Work in square or hex coordinates.
  • Scale, rotate, and reposition props and characters.
  • Quickly create rooms, tiles, and entrances with the auto-room tool.
  • Experiment with fun and procedural tools to generate large environments in a flash.
  • Export environment block geometry as a 3D model.
  • Join up with friends online to build maps together in real-time.
  • Connect your Hero Forge account and import minis.
  • Import your own custom models to use as characters or props (FBX, OBJ, STL, and .unity3d).
  • Import image files to use as 2D props or character tokens (PNG and JPG).
  • Share your maps on the Steam Workshop.
  • Play Battle Map Studio on Tilt Five™.
  • Place characters and monsters that can move and attack.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the intuitive map-building interface, impressive visual quality especially for Tilt Five AR headset owners, and useful asset variety including Hero Forge integration, with several noting it's a solid tool for running TTRPGs. However, common complaints include frequent crashes (particularly with weather tools), limited actual gameplay functionality beyond map creation, lack of compatibility with existing TTRPG systems, and missing features like a d100 die option and export capabilities for physical printing.

In less than 2 hours I was able to learn the interface and build a pretty detailed landscape map. I like it. It looks great on the Tilt Five.

Really impressive map builder from Solo indie dev! Must buy if Tilt Five owner For Tilt Five AR Headset owners: Well its the only Tilt Five Virtual Tabletop available, so by default it is the best! Honestly its so impressive just to move around in the headset around a map built on your computer, that I can totally see a group of motivated folks using it as a hologram battlemap. I never got the hang of using the wand but its totally possible to use a wireless keyboard and mouse instead with the T5 and once you learn a few hotkeys, you can build maps in the headset. IMO you really only need to be able to pan/zoom/rotate with headset, and click a character to move/attack. I'd rather there be a wand setting for players who won't build in order to facilitate easy pickup (IE - trigger click creature, press button x for move, press button y for attack, other buttons/functions are for easiest camera movement) For Non-Headset owners: The actual act of map-building is really smooth, especially if you take time to set up a palette of cohesive items/props. It can literally just be paint random props in an area, set some interesting elevations, and boom - you've got a pretty interesting compl…

So as with most of these tabletiop "sandboxes" the playable part of it is extremely limited and the 3d maps you make aren't usable in any known systems. I like the base of it, there is something to build on here but it crashes so much! Even the demo is running badly. I feel like this generator would be better of as a asset for game creation(which it is) than any ttrpg running Note to dev: You are missing a d100 in dice choices.

Still quite a few problems with crashing, especially when trying to use weather tools, but I'm sure that will get fixed with patches. So far I love all the various options for assets, and love the fact that you can import Hero Forge figures into the maps. One thing I would like to see in the future (if it isn't already implemented and I just missed it) is the ability to export the maps you make into JPG's or PNG's so they can be physically printed out onto paper and posters for real world use. So far this studio is looking super promising and I'm stoked to see how the devs improve it over time!
