  • WIP: Bleakmoor Harrow - Continent of Estonisch

    It really is beautiful, and I think you've done a masterful job of combining symbols from different styles in ways that compliment each other rather than clashing.

  • [WIP] Wizard's Tower - Interior

    No apologies necessary! I would be honored, and I would love to hear how it goes. I plan to find a home in the Atlas eventually, but I will post the FCWs here in the meantime with my blessing to use. Here are the FCWs for the outside, and for the third floor. I will post the other floors when they're ready.

    Okay, here it is again with the cliffs back in their original sheet order. I moved it because I wanted buildings to be potentially covered by a higher cliff's shadow -- but we saw above how some of those buildings end up being partially covered by the cliffs if they are too close. I thought about replacing the cliffs that have rubble with the plain ones, so that the houses can be closer without touching the cliff symbols. But in the end, I'm not so sure it's that noticeable that the buildings aren't in shadow.

    Here it is with the SOLID 10 terrain.

    And here it is with a SOLID 20, so that it's darker and more mysterious higher in the mountain. Not so sure, though -- might be a little too dark.

    Also, there's a bit of an Easter Egg hidden in there.

  • Best Map Style(s) for Creating a Set of Maps from Large Scale, to Medium, and then Small

    I will be curious to see what others think. I don't think there are any with a fraction of the assets that Schley has for overland, city, and dungeon scale.

    I really like Spectrum, but haven't tried it at a continental/global scale. The largest map I've used it for was 1000 x 1000 miles. (But now I really, really want to try it with something bigger.) You can make cities with it using unwalled cities/towns/villages, but it's really limited in how you can use it. I would love it if that style had a city expansion. In the meantime, I think the Darklands City style is complimentary enough if you used that for the city style and Spectrum for the overland style.

    I believe there are Job Roberts styles for overland, city, and dungeon, but I haven't worked with those styles enough to see if they scale in a complimentary way. I thought Herwin Wielink might as well, but now I'm not sure.

    I did move the cliffs down. Thanks! I will have to go back and fix.
