Paintable Battlemaps arrive in this month's update 🗺️
Welcome back to Fablecraft Friday, Mages! 🧙♂️ It's our first post in 2025.
Happy New Year!
In this week's video and blog, we're showcasing the upcoming update we are working on for homebrew Battlemaps.

Let's begin.
[h2]The next iteration of homebrew Battlemaps[/h2]
Last month, we released a major update for Fablecraft that included many new tools and features for homebrew, lore, and more. One of those features was the first version of Homebrew Battlemaps.
In the first version—that's still what's currently available today—GMs can upload static or animated battlemaps, indicate their grid count, and give them a name and description.
With the next major update due later this month, GMs will be able to use a painting tool to indicate traversable and non-traversable map spaces. Check it out in the video above or GIF form below.
It's worth noting that while we have this up and working in an in-development version of Fablecraft right now, it still requires some polish and bug testing that could influence its final form. It's not guaranteed that what you've seen here will match the version that ships later in January.
[h2]January's update features more, too[/h2]
We're working on more for January, though we're not quite ready to showcase it just yet. What can we share, though?
You can expect some additional homebrew Battlemap tools alongside improvements to the game for text-only players and, perhaps, some super fun emoji-based features that should make roleplay and interaction while not speaking that much nicer.
We're excited for you to get your hands on this stuff, so let us know what you think!
That's it for this week's edition of Fablecraft Friday. Next week, we'll look at some of the aforementioned emoji-based features.
Until then, pop into our Discord and find your next party for a fresh adventure in Mythas.
See you next week, Mages!
