I will leave that to Xargun, as that is the owner of the maps. I also refrained from posting them here to avoid spoilers for the players!

I was asked to do everything but the roads, settlements, and labels. That left just the basics to do. I had a lot of fun doing it.

An interesting note: We selected SS1b as the style. I used that for everything including the symbols. I eventually split some things into their own sheets, like the hills vs mountain areas. I think I made my own river style based on the existing lake style. The point is that I used only what was in that style and nothing outside of it. Rather, I tried to do that. I somehow got some Darklands hill symbols in there. I don't know how that happened. It turned out to be good because the hills went well on that map. The downside was Xargun had to buy that annual. (Though I think one can never have too many annuals.)

As a child, my family went to Lake Erie for a short trip. At one of the shops, I saw on the wall a reproduction of an old depth map of Presque Isle Bay from the 18th century. I was fascinated. It was much different than the maps in my school books. It told a story with lines and numbers about the changes over a century of nature and civilization. Most importantly, I could see the actual bay in front of me, so it felt real. I wanted to buy a copy, but at that time we barely had money for a trip let alone a map.

Fast forward some decades, and I returned to that shop and bought a copy. My study and technical skills started when I bought the map, but my fascination started on that trip as a child.

Welcome! I've used it for fiction books, both to include in the print and for my own organization. It's very useful. I'm sure somebody more knowledgeable about the servers and installation will help. Have fun!

Sorry, yes it was the DMG. I didn't know one particular rule, so he handed it to me to use. I handled it /very/ carefully.

Congratulations! I for one think that's a big deal. Here's to 1000!

From the game show Jeopardy:

I'll take "words that have never been said before" for 200.

Oh dear. Wow. The "Direct Download" from Humble Bundle is markedly different from the ProFantasy web site. I never used the HB direct links, so I didn't see what you saw. I very strongly suggest that you copy your HB keys and paste them into your Registration -> Downloads page, and then download the installers from there. I'm not sure if they just renamed the installers or if anything else changed. I personally wouldn't trust a download from anywhere but ProFantasy.

The ProFantasy route also has the benefit of always being there if you forget your keys, lose the installer, lose the SM PDF, or want an update.

Saved presets sound like a good community activity. I'm not the keeper of CC3 legalities, but I can do matrix math! I use this effect a lot personally.

Have you tried JPG? I understand the thought that it's not perfect, but with the right settings I find that it works very well. Try different compression levels. I think that might be something worth looking at.

Good luck.

Early Request: @Ralf and @Loopysue

I have had trouble getting water, including lakes, shores, and river mouths, to fit in well with this style. I've resorted to lots of manual tweaking. Would you please take some time to show easy, out-of-the-box ways to make them look good with this set?

(I came from a place that has lots of rivers, so they're in my mind.)

Thanks!
