Standing on the shoulders of cartographers

RPGMap is built on top of an extraordinary amount of open-source code and creator-licensed art. Everyone who contributed is named here.

Asset libraries

Forgotten Adventures — Core Mapmaking Pack (Parts 1–3)

The 140,000-asset library that ships with the editor is the Forgotten Adventures Core Mapmaking Pack, created by Cze & Peku and the Forgotten Adventures team. Every terrain tile, prop, token, and effect is their work, released under their creator licence.

If you use the bundled assets in a commercial product — printed books, paid Patreon tiers, published modules, or anything sold outside your personal gaming table — please review their commercial licence and support them directly. We're working on a proper pass-through agreement so paid RPGMap subscribers can use them commercially; until then, the assets ship for personal and non-commercial table use only.
