Best Map-Making Tools for a Modern Superhero RPG?

-

I’m planning some sessions for a superhero tabletop RPG, and I’m on the hunt for map-making tools that include assets for modern settings. I specifically need things like interiors of office buildings, urban streets, and military or science facilities. We occasionally explore outdoor environments too, such as jungles and canyons. Any recommendations on tools or websites where I can find these assets? I’m comfortable with digital painting, so any sets of brushes could also be useful, but I would prefer a dedicated map-making tool.

You might want to take a look at mapchart.net! It’s a good starting point for creating maps, but keep in mind it might not have the specific modern assets you’re looking for. Worth checking out, though!

Not quite what I had in mind. I need battle maps at a smaller scale, not global maps.

While Inkarnate is mostly fantasy, you can sometimes stumble upon useful maps. For example, you might want to check out this link for a hidden gem: inkarnate.com/explore/maps/17059276! You never know what you might find.

There’s not a ton available for modern settings. A good approach is to search for blueprints online—sites that sell houses usually have lots of options. You can also find specific blueprints by Googling what you need. If you have some time, 3D blueprint makers are pretty effective; check out planner5d.com for creating your own floor plans!
