Community Atlas - Etrani Estate House, Calosirto Village, Ambraci

Lorelei · February 2018

So i've been playing around with the Mike Schley and Forlorn Cottage styles and came up with this (second floor in progress)....It's actually an adaptation of a manor house in Sussex, England from 1875 (I found an old floorplan online). I may do a quick village and add this as a large estate nearby....

progress on 2nd floor

Love it! I was actually going to do an inn with the Forlorn Cottage style, but as you've beaten me to it (and so beautifully) maybe I'll have a look at a different style pack.

Lorelei · February 2018

Thanks, Scott. It's a combination of the Schley Symbol Set 4 and the Forlorn Cottage styles. Here's the floorplan for the inspiration of this map...

It's a gorgeous map Lorelei. Everything just fits so well together! I love it!

Lorelei · February 2018

Thanks, Tony

Very nice. Love it.

Looking at your maps, I sometimes wonder if we really are using the same program and symbols. I think I have you pretty beat down when it comes to the technical stuff, but you are so much better than me at composing stuff.

Beautiful

I do have one question, though.

Why have you moved the fireplace in the drawing room to sit in the bay window opposite where it was in the plan?

Just curious....

Lovely. Using blur effect on the second floor is a great idea. Might just steal that instead of using the transparent black layer i tend to use.

Lorelei · February 2018

Thanks Sue. No reason other than I liked it better by the windows

Josh, i have a multipoly i created outlining the house and filled with Solid 10, then put a blur on that sheet. Leave some trees on a sheet above so they stay out of the blur...i feel that gives it a more realistic effect to the height of the second floor, in my opinion.

Remy, I just make pretty things....just don't ask me HOW i made them, cause most times i'm just winging it! LOL, My own maps for my homebrew campaign are all pieced together like a schizophrenic made them....i'm all over the place and most often start EVERY map, regardless of Dungeon, City, Village or regional on a Dungeon map and work from there, which is why the Atlas is such a challenge for me, other than battle maps. YOU are an engineer and architect and i am an interior designer! LOL

Lorelei · February 2018

Updated and complete....now, where to put it?

Monsen · February 2018

The house could go anywhere, but I'd highly recommend that you make that village you were talking about and put ut there, as linking directly to a building from an overland map doesn't really work very well navigation-wise.

How about one of those villages in the Mt. Dendorlig area? Or in the Southern Scar? Or in one of Quenten's many local maps in the Dunor Valley?

Lorelei · February 2018

Well, i still have a cellar/altar to do for this. Then perhaps i'll do the Village of Jasper in the Mt. Dendorlig area, thanks

ScottA · February 2018

'tis a thing of beauty!

Monsen · March 2018

Lorelei's Etrani Estate is now in the atlas. Thanks for yet another great set of maps.

Hi, I was wondering what program you used to make this?

roflo1 · March 2023

Hi @Nospeedy Nos , and welcome!

These maps were made with Profantasy's Campaign Cartographer 3+ (as most maps you'll find in this forum), and using a style called Dungeons of Schley.

Back in late 2017 it was extended with the "Forlorn Cottage" symbols, and from what I can tell Lorelei (OP) was giving it a try.
