Think the suggestion would work for maps 1 & 3 but think about the parchment from darklands overlands style for the second. I would create a different overlay from the bloody one that comes with the style to more closely mimic the style of map 2.

Well I decided to post in this thread instead of creating a new one. I have finished the eastern portion of the world. I know this is a large map with way too much detail but that is what the person I'm doing this for wanted and it's too late to change now. He plans on printing a large format print with detail to hang in his game room. He created this world over 40 years ago and had very little of the world explored so except for the area he had already mapped out I'm able to have free rein over how it looks.

I still need to update political regions (turned off on this posting) and label the rivers but most everything else is completed.

Once the map is completed I add sea contours and a few islands along with scale and compass.

Well now I need to make a map to use it but here is my first attempt at using this great tutorial.

I like the Mike Schley dungeon style and the city style is growing on me but not a fan of the overland style. Even though I may never use this style for a project I will buy it for two reasons.

1) Never say never it may actually get used in a future project.

2) To support Profantasy and if sales are good it should encourage them to add additional symbol sets in other styles and hopefully in a more modern / SciFi setting.

Well I converted the non-hex version and found that I messed things up when I did the original so I had to fix all of the mistakes. Also during the conversion I decided to change some stuff around and I think I have a better version all around now. At some point I will readdress the original Spectrum Overland style and make some changes to it but that will be at a much later date.

Here is the Herwin Wielink Overland conversion.
