[WIP] Tunnels and Trolls maps

JimP · August 2016

Here are some of the maps I'm making for my Tunnels and Trolls site. The world map isn't finished.

World map made in CC3, Cosmographer. The town and ruins maps are made in CC3+

Added more to the world map. Added even more to the world map, Aug 16.

The deep blue ocean can/could be a conduit for monsters and/or cold ocean currents. The few medium blue hexes could be sea ports, but no one lives there.

JimP · August 2016

Folks are stopping by my site, using the above link. Any comments on the maps ?

Dogtag · August 2016

So far, so good, Jim. I've never played T&T myself so I'm not familiar with any special map quirks, but they look good to me.

Cheers,

You may wish to change the coloration of that world map a little. The deep blue hexes are too blue compared to the other ocean hexes, making them look more like part of the landmass. Maybe make the not-so-deep ocean a little bit darker blue to get a better contrast between land and sea, that would make the map easier to read.

JimP · August 2016

Yeah, doing gradiants in hex mapping is difficult. I'll see what I can come up with.

JimP · August 2016

Two part town/city on 500' x 400' temaplates.

JimP · August 2016

Here is a bit of redo on the world map.

JimP · October 2016

Finding a way to get the ocean to look better, when working with hexes, is a problem. I've tried different colors.

KenG · October 2016

For your Joker map why not lower the hex grid to below the buildings.

JimP · October 2016

Hadn't thought about that. I typically have symbols, then grid, then text.

JimP · October 2016

a very preliminary, just showing major locations, map of icosohedron point number 10 of the world map.

The mountains, hills, and single trees are just place holders at this time. The single trees are actually forests. The volcano will be surrounded by other mountains, etc.

JimP · November 2016

I have gotten around to numbering the places in Jester for a town directory. Merchant Way in Jester East will be the stores selling to adventurers. Other than that, the Inn and Stables, and the two Tax Collectors, I haven't decided who lives in the rest. 90 areas/buildings total.

JimP · November 2016

Zagond and the area around this nation. Its just below point 2 and point 3 of the world map.

Humans in Zogand. And dwarves, and a few trolls, in the mountains to their east.

JimP · December 2016

an update for triangle 10, The Rocks. Did I forget to name the oceans ? Yes, I did. Updating the world map in a bit.

JimP · December 2016

Updated world map.

Looks a bit fuzzy to my eyes, here is a link to the one on my site.

Updated this map with Talon Waters on it, lower right point, i.e. number 10.

Loopysue · December 2016

Oh yes

I don't usually go a bundle on hex maps (and please don't take that personally), but this one is really quite attractive

Tonnichiwa · December 2016

I like it too. I used to love it when they made those kind of maps for the Traveller game. Though this map looks far better than the ones I have seen for Traveller. Great job JimP

JimP · December 2016

Thanks. Haven't named the south polar ocean yet though.

Except for one or two maps, I have been using Fractal Terrains 3 for my Traveller maps. Create a world, and it exports fcw and png in the Traveller style.

JimP · March 2018

Now a sub-domain, sorry not much in the way of new maps.

my Tunnels and Trolls site

There's a lot of imagination going on here, Jim, and I love imagination.

I used to play Tunnels & Trolls. In fact, it was the first true RPG that I ever played, because it had single-player "choose your own adventure" modules, and back then I didn't have any players, and was just known as Gaz.

It's a great system and I'm glad you're exploring it further with your maps.

Particularly like the village and ruins maps. There's definitely adventure there!

JimP · May 2018

My first rpg as well. I had been shown a 1e PHB a few months earleir, but since I was changing majors, which necessitated changing universities, I was leaving. About 1979 we moved to coastal Mississippi. My siblings found Zocchi's warehouse on Pass road in Biloxi, and it went from there.

Sometimes my imagination goes beyond what I think I can do with mapping software.

JimP · July 2018

Well... I dislike trying to draw surface ruins, gives me a headache. Anyway, this is a ruin well south in Zogland, its on the map for Zogland. A bad guy has fixed things up a bit, left skeletons fomr the previous owners and put additional undead skeletons inside the walls to confuse adventurers.

The two skeletons lower left with green shields, has a poison coating on them. On the shields that is. In T&T, saves are vs. luck. So this is a mild poison, save vs. Luck level 1, or take 2 hits to strength.

The map below is at 75% of the size I'll be putting on my site. I'll be making an iso dungeon for the lower levels.

T&T is hexagon based, but I think the Iso dungeon will work for this.

JimP · July 2018

And here is a 1037 x 844 mile map of the area between the starting dungeon in Petal I made last time, and the new ruin. I decided to use the Tolkein font for this one. 75% of a 1200 pixel map.

Oops, looked at thge wtong part of the world map. This is the Bubbling Ocean not Talon Waters.

Loopysue · July 2018

Bubbling ocean of blackness?

I think, unless its only me, something went wrong with that one, Jim?

EDIT: Oh look, its all right again now!

Sometimes when I visit the forum some of the images are just blank, or full of interference like the snow on an old TV set from the 50s.

JimP · July 2018

Something to do with the Internet being slow these days I guess.

Loopysue · July 2018

Now I can see it - great map, Jim

JimP · July 2018

Gracias !

JimP · July 2018

I would love to know why someone keeps setting Sink on this thread.

JimP · July 2018

Here is the ruin floor plan with some effects.

JimP · July 2018

Working on a basement for this small keep. And some sub-floors below it. I'll be using the Iso dungeon symbols, etc.

JimP · July 2018

A small tentative basement, with a small room. The treasure chest in the small room contains a few coins. A secret latch opens up a floor hatch and a metal ladder downwards. The wooden trap door could lead to another level, the same level as the small room, or be a trap.

edited for a typo. It would be great if my brain noticed the typo before I click submit, instead of right after.
