Inkarnate is a powerful, web based cartography suite that allows users to create everything from sprawling world maps to highly detailed tactical battlemaps. Unlike software that requires a local installation, Inkarnate runs entirely in the browser, making it accessible from any computer with an internet connection. In December 2025, the platform launched its massive 2.0 Update, introducing a completely refined interface, advanced custom layering, and a marketplace for community assets, solidifying its position as the most versatile map making tool in the industry. Description Inkarnate is the "all in one" solution for fantasy cartography. It offers distinct styles—including Parchment, Watercolor, and High Fantasy—that allow GMs to match their maps to the tone of their campaign. While it was once seen primarily as a world and regional map tool, the 2.0 update dramatically improved its battlemap capabilities, bringing it into direct competition with specialized tools like Dungeondraft. It is a subscription based service, but the sheer volume of its asset library (over 30,000 stamps) makes it a favorite for GMs who want an endless variety of visual options. System Overview & Key Features Advanced Custom Layers (v2.0) The 2.0 update introduced a professional grade layering system. Users can now group assets, lock specific layers to prevent accidental movement, and apply transparency or blend modes to entire groups. This allows for complex "multi level" maps where you can toggle a roof or upper floor on and off during play. Brush Tool 2.0 and Layer Masks The painting system has been completely rebuilt to feel more like a traditional art program. Every layer can now have its own mask, allowing you to "paint" terrain or transparency with pixel accuracy. This is essential for creating organic transitions between biomes or hiding secret rooms behind "hidden" layers. Massive 30K+ Asset Library The paid tiers grant access to an enormous catalog of high definition stamps. From elven architecture and dwarven machinery to sci fi terminals and eldritch horrors, the library is updated weekly, ensuring that GMs always have new visuals to inspire their world building. 8K and 16K Exporting Inkarnate is famous for its high resolution output. The Creator tier allows for 8K exports, while the 2026 Studio tier supports beta 16K exporting. This level of detail is perfect for GMs who print their maps or use high resolution 4K monitors for their virtual tabletop sessions. The Inkarnate Marketplace New for 2026, the Marketplace allows professional cartographers and artists to sell custom asset packs and map templates directly within the platform. This has expanded the "Inkarnate Look" far beyond its original art style, offering community driven variety for niche genres like Cyberpunk or Steampunk. Interactive "Explore" Feed The platform features a social gallery where users can share their maps. Many of these are "Cloneable," meaning you can open another user's map in the editor, see how they built it, and modify it for your own campaign, making it an excellent learning tool for new cartographers.

There are four board types: - an infinite free board where element cards nest inside other element cards. - map boards with pins, regions and roads that reveal more detail as you zoom in. - hierarchy boards for family trees and chains of command. - relationship graph that assembles itself from the relations recorded on each page Anything marked secret stays hidden when a world is shared through a read-only public link. The free plan covers one world, unlimited free-boards and up to 25 world elements. Pro removes every limit.

Rollplay lets you build your own mobile character sheet for whatever you're running. Drag & drop to create a layout, setup your own attributes and dice formulas, create items and conditions that actually update stats when your players use them. No code. Share the game and your table plays it on their phones. If you just wanna play one of the existing games, you can try some of the character sheets already in the app. D&D5e, Nimble and others await you to create characters, homebrew weapons or share your creations. Rollplay is built around automation, so homebrewing something ambitious doesn't mean a spreadsheet full of manual math. Design a race, class, item, or a whole new system: set the rules once and let the app run them. Share it with your table, and your players don't have to learn your system to enjoy it; they just play, while your rules quietly do the work behind the scenes. It's the easiest way to make your homebrew feel as polished as anything official.  For Players Auto-Calculated Attributes Stats update automatically as you level up, equip gear, or gain new abilities. Automated Effects Items, classes, and conditions modify your stats on their own, and unwind cleanly when removed, even through deeply nested chains. Equipment & Inventory Equip and manage items in one place, with carry weight and currency tracked for you. 3D Dice Roller Roll skill checks and weapon hits with a single tap, with explosive dice, rerolls, and advanced roll mechanics. For Creators No-Code System Creation Build a complete custom game system: attributes, formulas, effects, dice, and content, no programming needed. Custom Rules Define your own attributes, dice pools, and formulas. Rename core concepts like Race or Ancestry to match your setting. Drag & Drop Sheet Builder Design your character sheet layout visually with modular building blocks. Share & Iterate Push your system to your players directly, with draft and published versions so you can update it without breaking their games.
