Thank you, @Wyvern!

I do have Character Artist, but I haven't used it much and didn't realize those were there. This vastly expands my heraldic symbol options! Here it is using the traditional dragon with a tower icon background. I also tried one with a wyvern off to the side. Which is your favorite?

I actually did have a cave hole there, but it was kind of small and I used a fill that ended up being kind of a washed-out gray at this zoom. I deleted it and drew in an oversized black "cave mouth" polygon.

Sure! I like having multiple options.

Yeah, I agree. The last map where I needed a campfire was designed in Marine Dungeons. I found that in order to keep with the style of Marine Dungeons, it was easier to make my own campfire using the dry rocks from Marine Dungeons and the fire, scorched earth, and burnt wood from Darklands City -- both designed by Sue in complimentary styles. I have a tendency to mix and match from styles that don't always work well together, so sometimes I have to make an effort to rein myself in. Having the scorched earth fill available was handy, but another option would be to use a dark gray earth and then use sheet effects to darken it (or if a gray earth isn't available, use the RGB Matrix set to grayscale on a brown earth fill, and then darken it).

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. Thank you for staying in touch with his family sharing the news with us. I first started becoming active here a year ago, and Jim was always one of the first to reply and give me feedback and encouragement. Such a kind cartographer. I will miss him.

Wanted to try out the new Mike Schley cartouche/decorative border symbols, and decided to tweak an existing map rather than create a new one. Really love the new compass rose options.

While I was in there, I deleted the jungle fill in the southwest corner as well as the northwestern edge of the northern island, and replaced them with individual jungle trees.

Remy did a two part video tutorial about this several years ago own his own channel if you want a bit more: Part 1 and Part 2.

Makes sense. It occurs to me that I would probably want to keep them as separate cutout tools anyway. Sometimes I would want to cut through the wall to the sill, and sometimes wall to floor, and sometimes sill to floor, so that would be a lot of tools to create. Simpler to have one wall-to-sill tool and another sill-to-floor tool (unless I figure out effects that prevent the transparency acne without needing a mask, so I then I can just have wall-to-sill and wall+sill-to-floor tools).

Hence the old expression, "The British and the Americans are two great peoples divided by a common tongue."

I like it. The hint of blue is faint but present. I know snow can come in different tints (just don’t do yellow!) but my personal preference is for snow to be slightly blue-ish rather than any other color. This coloring is perfect for me.

I love the mountain symbol with the cave. So many adventures end up underground.
