Thank you! It is not a forced perspective though, it is just regular old perspective, and just the way it would look if you looked at the scene from above. The strictly top down maps are... technically... incorrect, because there is a perspective in a 3-d world. But they've sort of beein accepted as the standard for ttrpgs, which makes sense I guess since they adjust to grids the easiest.
...in school we referred to this as one-point perspective: everything converges toward a central point in our field of view...
(it's not exactly how our eyes perceive geometry in real life but it's a close-enough for rendering purposes)
Yup, that's exactly it!
