# USEFUL RESOURCES

### **HELP, TIPS & SHOWCASE**

[**Official Discord Server**](https://discord.com/invite/J9Czgpu)\
\&#xNAN;*This is the place you'll get answers to your questions the fastest, where users help other users. You can also get some some mapmaking advice, or showcase your own maps. It's also a good place to get the latest updates on the software and mods. You can also find mapmaking livestreams from users there too.*

[**Official Subreddit**](https://www.reddit.com/r/dungeondraft)\
\&#xNAN;*Mostly for showcasing your maps. You can also ask other users for help, this will get your question to a broader audience than Discord, but it will usually be slower to get an answer.*
