Hey Everyone! New to making VTT/Animated Maps

[valkurbattlemaps]

Just to say that generally for VTTs you dont put the grid on the map itself as the VTT software will overlay a grid for you. Then all of the icons will line up with the software grid. Now some of the VTTs can stretch a background image and so long as the bitmap grid is square then you can make it align but not all of them can so its better to not have one. Or at least generate two maps one with and one without a grid.

Of course generally your map features often will align to a grid or a 5x5 / 10x10 spacing of features but if the software grid is a little out on those you wont notice but if you have thin line grid on it then it will.

Thanks! I have been generating the maps without a grid and ensuring there are copies both with and without the grid. There's a bit more freedom to make the grid look nice when creating it in photoshop, but definitely more flexibility in the gridless map and applying a grid with whatever VTT software is being used.
