Fate of the Sapphire Sea, Caribbean map...

Jeffe · March 2014

I've always been good at starting maps, but not so good at finishing them off, well that's about to change! This is one I'm working on for a Fate game that's currently being setup. Set in an alternate history Caribbean at the dawn of the 20th century. The geography shown is setup with 6 miles hexes, I have the symbols in the hexes hidden right now for this view. I also have 1.5 mile hexes setup for more zoomed in detail, labeling, etc. that is about to begin in the campaign start area around Jamaica, the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos.

Will likely tweak some effects and such moving forward, but pretty happy with this right now.

Looks great!

Excellent stuff!

Neat. I love real-world maps and this is really good one. Could you post a version where we can see a zoomed in-area with the hexes?

I agree with BlindMapmaker. Terrific use of hex mapping, and would love to see zoomed in views.

Been awhile since I've messed with this but wanted to post some updates. Started by putting an alternate history spin on this map with some extra land masses and removing the connection between Latin and South America...a celestial body hit there sometime in the past, details aren't important right now.

I have also been playing around with more detail for close up maps and this is what I'm working with now...combining traditional hexes with symbols from the CC3+ Mike Schey symbol set. I'm testing a variety of symbols, fills and effects right now trying to find the right combination. I've put the fills over the hexes and applied various effects, most prominently Transparency.

This map shows the 6 mile hex close ups...will use a similar symbol and fill style once I need to work on any 1.5 mile hexes.

Any thoughts and feedback would be great.

I quite like the use of Schley symbols with the hexes: looks much nicer to me that with the standard hex symbols.

I have to say, this is the coolest hex based map that I have ever scene.

Ooh, that close up is gorgeous.
