I've used them as battle maps before, for combat areas with tricky elevation changes (stairs & multiple levels, low walls that could be used as cover or to stand atop for higher ground, etc).

Well, now I feel a little silly. We learned way back in first grade to read all of the instructions completely before starting to work :)

Thank you!

I really like the shape of this landmass, Quenten.

Cities aren't my usual mapping "thing," so I'm having a hard time deciding if there's anything else I need...

I'm picturing this as a residential / mercantile neighborhood, with the Sherrif, Bailiff and Catchpole all having residences here though their work takes them throughout the city. That small courtyard type area with the fountain just seems like a natural place for people to shop. I could crowd more businesses in there, I suppose, though I'd want to make sure they're ones that don't stink to high heaven - it just seems like a little more upscale place than that to me.

I've used them for battle maps, but not often - it's harder to just throw one together quickly.

I've used them more often as visual aids to help players visualize a scene, or just for my own fun.

I've intended to try combining a Perspectives scene with a DAZ figure, but haven't so far...

Yah, it's high, and I can reduce it fairly significantly and it will still look fine. I misread and was thinking I'd need to reduce the resolution of the entire image, but if it's just the mark that's not nearly as bad.

Thank you! I updated the gallery image after I added a draft of a sidebar by one of the book's annotators, so there's a voice to go with the map.

Thank y'all!

From an aesthetic viewpoint, I prefer the darker brown "base" (the supporting earth/cliffs) from your first map to the much lighter color of the second one. I think it's the contrast between that and the surface area that appeals.

And I do love that brick floor on the first level!
