The satellite dish, by the far the most complex piece so far.

The December monthly free symbols should be released later this week. Mike is working on them at the moment.

There was an error in the macro for the Medium Island Chains tool. I've fixed the Annual download, but if you want to just grab the one fixed file, take the attached one and unzip it to System/Drawtools/2022 Island Chains/ overwriting the existing one.

Yes and yes. Working on it right now. :)

We, that at least challenged me to try my hand at a geodesic dome. Found a few nice templates on the web, and this is my CC3 version....

Ah, fond memories and a very cool map. Our covenant La Belle Colline was in the Massif Central, not too far from Le Puy. Warning, this is one of my oldest CC2 maps.

Here is the map I created in last night live mapping session. Sue was so kind to also supply her updated sea texture for the style (which tiles properly). Replace the files in /Bitmaps/Tiles/Overland/Annual BW Fantasy/ with the attached PNGs to use them.

It was very seperate from the English-speaking rpg world for a long time, so no mention in WD that I know of.

I've got a pretty good collection of the 3rd and 4th edition source books and boxes (far from complete though), but I was always just a collector and no contributor to this. Personally I'm actually much more involved in the English-speaking rpg scene than the German one.

That map was created via an excel sheet with the data, and a script file created from that data.

Take a look in your CC3+ programdata folder in the "Scripts" subfolder. You should see a "stardata.xls" file and various script files. If you look at the spreadsheet that it contains all the commands and data which appear in the script files - the scr files where generated from that spreadsheet.

In CC3+ you can create a new map, and then run the script via Tools > Macros > Script File to insert all the stars as symbols into the map. You will have to replace all # with @ in the script file first though, as that has changed in CC3+.
