Now, let's get it onto Alchemy RPG!
Step 2: Create a Scene
- Select your game session in Alchemy RPG. If you are starting a new game, choose the 'Create Game' button in the top right of the homepage. This will give you the chance to name and add a system to your game.
- Once you're 0n your new game's homepage, select 'Add Scene' from the bottom right of the screen. Then click on 'Create Scene'.
Step 3: Upload Your Map
- From here, navigate to the 'Tactical' tab and click 'Add Map'. Choose 'Select' followed by 'Upload'.
- Choose the map that you want to use from your computer. This will upload it to Alchemy RPG. Click on the white button with a 'tick' on it at the bottom of the screen, and your map will be added to your 'Scenes' panel.
Step 4: Scale And Move Your Map
When you click on your new map in the 'Scenes' panel, you can choose to play on or preview your map. Using the options in the top right of the screen in 'Tactical Mode', you can scale the map and toggle the gridlines on and off.
As well as adding your map, Alchemy lets you build immersion using an environmental visual or motion effect, like fire, dust, light rays for a magical presence, music for ambience and combat, NPCs, and story notes!
