Treasure map for an upcoming adventure.
There will be a small dungeon once the players find the X-spot.

The directions are not really working without a hint where to orientate.

Ah ok. I think it is pretty impossible to find, except he has buried it with different coloured sand/stones. How big is a hole for treasure? How BIIIIG is a hill? Maybe you should let them find something like a single coin. Even then the would need weeks to dig up that area.

When the players find the X, a small dungeon awaits.

And open.

And the treasure room.

Now have to cut out the battlemaps and glue them to cardboard.
Print the treasure map on a piece of paper the has been soaked in tea.
Then let the adventure begin.

There are a multitude of maps out there that many would consider works of art. Then the odd one comes along that stirs within me the desire for adventure. Makes me examine it closely and ask questions like: What might we find at that location marked by the hut on the northern island? What sort of personalities reside at Hardur's Rest or what might we find lurking in the swamp or the trees by the river? This is one such map. Very nice! I like this.

Posted By: DogtagHang on... Hardur'sbodyis in area 1 and hisbonesare in area 2?! What the heckhappenedto him? Or, do I really want to know? Ewww.

Great stuff! I especially like the water around the island on the treasure map. Did you make the overland map using the treasure map style from the annual?

Thanks for sharing!

I think that apart from the font, and obviously the dungeon part, all the elements are from the Treasure Map annual.

Love, love, love these maps!

No, the style has a drawing tool that does these cliffs.

It's called "Terrain Default, Cliffs" and should pop-up if you click the Terrain drawing tools button.

His cliffs look like jagged rocks because of the lines going up and down. Mine are just filled completely with black. I screwed around with settings on it for an hour last night but just could not get anything to look like his. Either the fill was solid black or the few lines that I had were just a few and very thin verticals transparent lines. Not jaggity like his. not sure how to adjust the settings I guess.

Thanks

This is just a shot in the dark, but how does it look without the effects turned on? I see a Blur effect for the sheet. I doubt that's the problem but it's the first thing that came to mind.

Yes, I think that's what happening here. Hatch styles (that's what the cliff fill is) don't scale with the map size and the cliffs are set up for a much smaller map size.

If you want to use the hatch with a larger map, you'll need to rescale it. You'll find it in CC3/Hatch Styles/. Make a copy, open it in CC3 and rescale everything for your new map size. E.g. for a 1000x800 map, you could scale the existing hatch style by factor 40.

So how do I rescale?

Posted By: jigsawmanAnybody? How do I rescale a map??

You just use the scale button and right-click -> All -> right-click Do It.
Just be sure all sheets and layers are visible and thawed.
