I can't quite remember when I bought CC-DOS, it probably was in 1995 here in an rpg store. The purple box with 3.5" disks.

The first map I created my Jhendor world map:

Thanks people! I still take great joy (and pride) in the physical aspect of the hobby: Painting miniatures, crafting terrain and building paper models. Dioramas is very hand there, but of course it's not for everyone. If you want to see me messing physically with the result of yesterday'ss session you can do so in this timelapse video:

Apologies for the ow quality of my webcam and the frequent shots of my forehead. :D

This is the end result:

And here you can download the drawing file.

Medio has graciously allowed me to use his custom artwork in tomorrow's live mapping session on YouTube. We'll also make them available for download, so you can use them yourself.

Hi there! Thanks for your suggestions. Be assured that we are discussing the future of the sofware internally and are planning for it, but please also understand that it is not a discussion for a public forum at this time. Keep up the mapping!

Hi folks!

We are looking for feedback and suggestions on the future of the Monthly Symbols. If you have ideas or just want to let us know what you'd like to see, comment on the blog post (link below) or here in the forum thread with your suggestions.

Thank you!

Hi folks!

If you want to try out the newest version of CC3+, update 26 is now available from your registration page (click the CC3+ download button to access it). It does have some internal changes, displays certain dialogs and windows more nicely and contains a few new toys to play around with (version notes below). As a beta, there may well still be a few glitches and issues, so only install it if your comfortable with that.

If you experience any problems or have questions, post in the thread below or email me at ralf@profantasy.com.

Stairs, bridges and steps for the building entrances...

Here's the map I used for our game on the weekend, as it resulted from two of the live mapping sessions and some extra work.

Here is my submission for the 1000th Atlas map event, though I'll not enter the contest as such.
