I decided to share all the online resources I keep over at the Role for Fun Discord Server for everyone here. I'll try to keep it updated. If you have anything useful to add, drop a comment and I'll see if I can compile them all together. Also, feel free to join our Discord community if you are so inclined. The more supporters we have, the more fun we have! https://discord.gg/VpgFFsH

- Several interactive maps, inc. Faerun, Waterdeep, Neverwinter. The Waterdeep one is especially useful.

Updated with the Faerun Map link. Can you please confirm the deviantart link is open for public download/use? I'm not as familiar with Deviantart as I'd like, but I thought that even though some artists posted their stuff on there, it wasn't "officially" for public usage. Just want to make sure. Thanks!
