I'm not a DM and I've never played DND so maybe this sucks but I thought I'd pass it on because I like browsing this community.

I was messing around with Bing Image Creator and thought I'd see what kind of map I could make. I think my immature prompt here was "The Ball Zone: Dungeons and Dragons battle map of a ball factory. Balls are used as obstacles throughout the map"

I'm not sure if I'd use anything Bing makes as-is but it might be cool for inspiration at least

I'd like to see some other people's prompt. I can't get it to generate actual top-down battle maps. They keep coming up with isometric views. I tried the exact prompt above, minus the title because it choked on it, and got nothing close.

3 of the 4 it gave me were heavily canted with that prompt so I'm not surprised

Did you try adding "top down" or anything like that? I just tried that and all the maps it gave are correct.

that worked! thanks. i must have been wording it weirdly because I'm getting no more weird angles.

I've had mixed success but adding "top down" seems to help a lot

Post the pics!
