Map of Paizo's Golarion w/ J. Roberts annual style (WIP)
I have no idea when this will be finished as it's a huge world (~9600x15700miles in CC3), but here's a preview of my take on Paizo's Golarion.
I have used their publicly available maps as guides for coastlines and placement of rivers etc as I use it in game and thus want the locations and distances to match.
The lower part of the map contains slight spoilers for the Kingmaker Adventure Path.
See attached or through the link.

edit: noticed one of the labels is on the wrong layer/sheet.

I'd probably reduce the width of the dark blue coastline on this map. It's a bit overwhelming.
It's 15 units/miles wide now, which is a tad much I agree, I just wanted the land to have strong outline while showing the whole thing. It does create some complications on the more detailed coastlines though.
edit: The J. Roberts style scales the coastline according to the map size I realized which is why it turned so big originally.
edit:
I meant to type: You could reduce the blue line the closer in/detailed you make the map. And leave it thick on the large map.
Sorry.
thanks

I think I'm using the standard values that are set in the J. Roberts overland annual (#51).
IIRC the hills have an inner edge fade, and the forest an inner edge fade and a glow.
The borders are based on a tutorial lying around these forums I believe (sorry I don't have the link, but it shouldn't be too hard to find).
If you just experiment with those I'm sure you'll find a setting you like!
Wondering if the output here could be used to make a more detailed version of: http://www.mapsofgolarion.com/
It's been put on hold for a while.
However if anyone else wants to continue I'd be happy to share the CC3 file. Just need to remove campaign specific things first, as I mainly used this for my private groups.
Cheers

I just moved to a "new" apartment so I don't have internet up and running yet. Will upload when I get it fixed.
It's based on Paizo's various world maps, including the map from the Inner Sea Poster Map Folio PDF, the "Stolen Map" from the Paizo blog, the Community Use map pack Inner Sea map (for country borders) and the various local maps found in the Kingmaker Adventure Path and Guide to the Inner Sea (this one is not very accurate). Of course I cannot supply these, so you must insert them yourself if you want to use them as guides. Regrettably not all of their maps are equal in scale and distances, thus it's a bit hard to fully align with the underlying maps.
There is one layer from my own campaign remaining, but I couldn't find the item located on it, thus the layer is still there...

Obviously spoiler tags don't seem to work with these forums.

Has this been updated any more? If so, where is the up to date map?
Hello Kaw. Leonal's last visit was in October 2021, so it is quite unlikely that there will be any further updates to this map.
That's a shame - how did I never see this project before?
