Map of my running campaign
Hello everybody,
I want to show you the map of the current campaign I`m playing (as player, not as Game Master). Creating this map is a bit challenging, as the game we are playing is a RPG from the 80s/90s and contains a lot of freaky fantasy places inspired by the novels of Tanith Lee (like this pyramid whith the eternal light on the left side of the map) which are not easy to get on the map. The other challenging thing was the area called `lands of fire`, a land with vulcanos, lava and everything clouded in fog.
If anybody has ideas how to create such special symbols or knows better ways to create such lava regions please let me know. Thanks :-)
Don`t wonder about the strange mountains (the circle) in the middle or the way some rivers go. I took the landmasses from the original world-map, this world is highly magically, formed by active gods with areas created in wars of mages etc. An old-school fantasy world without the wish to be somehow medieval-like and realistic (thats why we play it :-)).
Thanks and regards, Jensen

This is a beautiful map, Jensen. I like the abstract shapes you've used for the cities, and the way you've created the plateaued area on the right is particularly good. I'm afraid I can't help you with the land of fire though. It looks fine to me.

At least we played some times now and I've made an extension of the map area, included the places we've discovered and added some text of old prophecies we've found ingame.
I added a scroll background from the free annual 2017 and changed the appearance a bit.
I hope you like it, as always recommendations are highly welcome as they made my maps much better in the past.
I also add a link to a high res version - the map is for print in A1 and contains about 40 hidden mice (my friends love to hunt for them in the printed version :-)).
