  • Map critique

    It's a nice map, but I think the Ironfist Mountains look a bit sparse right now. Unless it is the intention to have a spare mountain range, I would recommend placing the symbols closer together, making it more dense. Don't be afraid of some overlaps.

  • Help with Fonts

    If you have your old drive (you said it was a motherboard issue, so I would assume you do), all your old font files are safely tucked away on x:\windows\fonts on the old drive (where X is whatever drive letter it might end up with) and can just drag them into the fonts folder on the new PC.

    I also like the way you've created a unique history that still draws upon D&D tropes (standard races, Tiamat, etc) but gives them a new interpretation.

    I've found that it is easier to make things relatable for both me and the players when building on existing building blocks where they exist. Getting into and appreciating a new world where everything is different is pretty hard. So my races are actually pretty standard, I just gave them a nice backstory that slots neatly in with the history of my world.

    As for religion, I adore the idea that several characters were paladins of Marcus, and are going to find out over time who and what their god actually is. I imagine the role playing on that is going to be a lot of fun!

    Yea, it was. They went from burning heretics (followers of the old [true] gods) on the stake, to becoming followers of them themselves and murdering the high priests of their old religion [Said high priests are now clearly evil, so not a violation for the paladin to off them]. The paladin (They were 2 priests and 1 paladin) was the first to turn, he started seeing issues and starting learning more about the old gods in secret. We had great fun with the last priest holding on to his religion for a long time, claiming that it was all the other followers of the religion in the world that had turned from the true faith and needed to be terminated.

    I think we've all been there, starting new projects when we have this other one that is still waiting for us to complete it.

  • Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas repairs.

    You can rebuild the index file yourself at any point, using the INDEX command in CC3+.


    Also note that CC3+ do contain a feature to search for text in multiple files already, you don't need to move them over to PDF to do that.


    I use the index file for the search feature on the community atlas website to allow you to search in map text.

  • Advice on what looks better, please, on a completed map

    I agree with Sue, for a b&w printed book, a nice and clear black and white style usually gives the best result.

    Hi Christian,

    I suggest you open a ticket with customer support for this, they'll get you up and running in no time. You'll find the technical support form in your registered user area.

  • Symbol catalog refuses to change back

    If the symbol catalog buttons doesn't load correctly, it is usually an indication that the master filter was not loaded with the map. Which it should absolutely do with the Modern Political maps.

    Can you try loading the filter manually => Right click :CC2SYMPATH: and pick master filter settings, from that dialog, hit LOAD and pick the CA42 filter in the list. Now, the dialog should look like the below image. Make sure filter 1 is the selected one in the dialog before hitting ok, and try the buttons again.
