A little Deadlands

Topdecker

My second map... I still need a title placard and want to adjust the positioning of the text. Guess that I need to learn how to move objects



It is based off a map for Deadlands Classic. Comments, suggestions, and any useful advice is most welcome.

I really like this map. It's evocative, informative, and visually stunning in it's economy. *doffs cap*

Hey, thanks for the kind comments! I updated the original image to reflect an update. It is the final / near final rendition of the map.

I added a bit of color to distinguish the 3 RR lines on the map. That led to a bit of text gymnastics, but it all seemed to work out fairly well.

I FINALLY learned how to move and scale objects. The first step was to stop freaking out over the empty white spot .

This is a great map. What a wonderful job, you should be proud.

Great work on this -- Deadlands was such a fun game. That map used to drive me nuts, though, as I'm from Northern California, and the relationship between Sacramento and Placerville is way off. Maybe the great quake moved them. ;-)

I like your use of badges with this map. Did you make these yourself?

All of the badge art was packaged with the mapping tools and pretty much fit right in.

Yeah, I had heard that PEG had taken some liberties with the real world (Bismark, ND, was supposedly really adjusted) and I guess that they explained that this is a close but not quite perfect neighbor of our reality. I put a reference image (one of their maps) on a sheet and used it for the placement of towns and borders. I was a lot less careful about the coastline and the many, many islands.

The logical part of me is considering redoing it but using a more accurate source map - but then I realize that it is a GM-only reference and that I make stuff up all the time to play these silly RPGs.

Which is the best way to look at these things.
