D&D Map Sketcher is a tool for playing tabletop RPGs online where the DM can easily draw maps while playing.
The project is being developed by Daniel F. Marqués (@daniFMdev). Right now it only has the minimum features to be able to show its potential. You are invited to tell your friends and try it out. In its current state, it should be able to hold your session's dungeon exploration and combat. I recommend using Discord for voice, text chat and dice rolling (through bots).
I highly recommend you to go through the controls section before you start using the tool.

Rotate tile | Click | Click a tile with the same selected to rotate it |
Height Aid | Space | This toggles a plane that helps you find the current height of the camera compared with the map |
Ping | P | Useful for calling the attention of the rest of the players towards a specific point |
Place New Token | Click | Click any player portrait while in "Selection Mode" |

Player controls are limited to Interact, Pan, Rotate Camera, Zoom, Ping and Place New Token.
