Still working on my Traveller site. Nothing uploaded yet, but I have about 100 planet maps on 4 sectors. Just have to do the uwp for each, post articles, and do a few solar system maps.

  • Quick(?) Ambush Battle Map

    By cutting into pieces, I was referring to IrfanView and a vtt. I couldn't afford the printer ink to print out all of my maps.

    Okay, test run. Text and maps. I have a bit of time, and it beats starring at the clock.


    The Gathering Place and The MIthlas Holes Environs.

    the_mithlas_holes_area.fcw

    The Gathering Place. Nomadic tents of elves. They tell anyone who sees them, they are merchants. They might even sell you something. Or say they are on their way to buy more goods and are currently out.

    Their real reason is to head, not bunched up nor all at once but to eventually all arrive in the same week, to The Gathering Place. A ruined tower, all that is left of what they believe was once a might elf city.

    There aren't enough ruins to justify such a claim, but they just 'know' that the stones that were there were carried off by evil forces to build something Evil. This could even be true. This has been passed down to them and their relatives. Is it true ? Well, they have found traces of foundations a mile away from this tower. And sometimes late at night they been awakened by a distant elf flute playing mournfully. Those that seek where the sound comes from, are never heard from again.



    The Mithlas Holes Entrance Area

    the_mithlas_holes_hillentrance.fcw

    Ebereth is just off to the Northeast. A small thriving community. Years ago some folks went to The Mithlas Holes to see why they hadn't been to town. The survivors of this trip said no one lived there anymore.

    Giants' Garden. A supposed area where giant's once grew food. The occasional ear of corn brought to town are usually ignored. Corn on the cob cannot grow to be as big as a house.

    Elf Encampment. A group of elves who travel about this area, keeping a distant eye on Mithlas Holes.

    The Mithlas Holes. A series of rooms that once had a thriving community of elves.



    I'll post more as I go through the maps and the text.

    This time I used the floor tool.

    Doesn't look much difference to me... well, a bit different.

    same measurements as above.

    This time I used the 3D floor tool. Made my own floor tool, with water light bmp.


    same sizes as above.

  • CA style development - "Darklands City" (issues for September and December 2021)

    I see the A one as a dingier ruined look than the B one. They both work for me, but others have better eyesight than I do.

    Tried again. This time with the floor first as a guide.

    Left side lines up, but not the right side. I selected rectangular floor. I can cover up the right side with a wall.

    I have other plans for today, so I'll put this on hold.

  • Community Atlas Where ?

    That is what I meant by 'unable to match the edges'.

    I have no idea if its the template/symbols, or me.

    I can cover it up, by making a wall on the right side, which I was going to do anyway.

  • WIP: Now, for something completely different...

    Doesn't look crowded to me. Larger you make it, longer it will take to map all of it.
