Thanks for another great submission Jim. The Silent Forest is now online in the atlas.
In other news, I've also added Duin Elisyr by Yort. I was waiting for a version with a minor fix to the scale bar, but the artist hasn't been online in the forums for the last two months, so I put up the version I had for now, since it was complete. I'll update it whenever I get the fixed version.
I'll also take this opportunity to encourage more people to submit to the atlas. We have 78 maps, but only 9 mappers. Remember, you don't need to be a mapping expert to participate, while a lot of the maps in the atlas looks absolutely stunning, this is not the bar every new user should hold themselves against. As to the existing mappers, I've noticed that some of you like to continue developing your own maps. While nothing wrong with this at all, I'll also want to encourage you to look at the rest of the world. Remember, any area in the world not currently claimed by another user is free for the taking, no matter who made the original parent map.
You're welcome. My windows computer is still having problems. I may have to wait until next month and get a win 7 install did and use it on an older machine. My Win 10 computer is being a pain.
So I will try to make some more maps but not sure what will happen.
Jim's Dead Forest map is now in the atlas. Thanks for contributing another great map.
Lot's of Doom, Death and Sadness in this map. Doesn't seem like a place I would want to live. In other words, a perfect place to send those pesky adventurers.
I have a small bit around the Old Wizard's Tower i am working on as well. Usind City Designer with importing the fill styles via Silent Forest map so I can use Mike Schley fills for it.
May do a small dungeon and store room under the tower as well. But today is kinda busy.
