Yes, he did Sue. He also said to remind him if he forgot.

What giant swamp flowers...? 🌼

Did you go for the HPLHS boxed set of props as well? Not a cheap addition if you've already gone halves on the two-inch 40th anniversary boxed set, but it does add to the mix quite nicely (there are a few gaps and oddities among the props, though nothing insurmountable in what I've come across so far; I am a LONG way from going through them all, however!).

I'm just a sucker for boxed sets, I think!

The updated "Shadows" sounds very much in the pattern of "Horror" and "Masks". There are definitely things in some of these older scenarios that benefit from updating, reflecting modern sensibilities and changed attitudes since they were originally written. Plus the expanded features in both have been fascinating to see, so I'd expect an updated Shadows would be equally good (especially as I suspect I know at least one of the people heavily involved in its preparation!).

Not sure I'm quite ready for an updated HPLHS props set to go with Shadows yet though - I haven't got through the props for the 40th anniversary reissue version yet!

So Elric of Pulp Cthulhu now? 😉

A scale-bar is pretty much essential, though north by default can often be assumed as "the top" of a map.

It's easy to think a map like this won't really take that much time until you start it - we've all been there, I suspect!

Worth the effort in the end though, as this looks really good!

So, nothing at all suspicious or unusual's been happening here then 😉

For the stones, I might have gone with the thick black outline, but a paler grey fill. The solid black seems a bit overwhelming is all.

Nah, no point in racing. Map-making needs inspiration too, and sometimes that just won't be hurried 😊.

Will you be mapping all the interiors too? That could be a really interesting project.

However, I know castle mapping can be fun, but quite tricky, because of all the different levels inside, and getting the stairs (and sometimes ladders) to work to connect them all. It's almost as if medieval castle designers didn't intend for people in the future to make detailed maps of them 😉

Indeed, all looking good.

Might be worth tweaking the text on the Aglacacian Empire map though, as some of it's getting a bit lost where it passes over the denser types of terrain.

For the Khunjerab Pass, the scalebar would benefit from moving off the hills, as it's too difficult to read there right now.

@Ricko Hasche - The map image you've reposted for Khunjerab Pass seems to have the effects turned off now, and the scalebar is where it was originally, I think. Might be the wrong image?

For the Aglacacian Empire map, try adjusting either the text colours, or their sizes, and/or the colour and/or extent of their glow effects. It's difficult to advise precisely, as there's always a degree of subjectivity about this, especially as it only really affects the smaller labels that are crossing the denser terrain areas currently, particularly, though not exclusively, where the text's italicised.
