  • From Quillan to Montsegur

    Alternatively, you could try making the higher hills somewhat larger in size, perhaps, or possibly use some smaller mountains to represent them instead.

    As Sue said though, the map looks splendid anyway!

  • Dhakos, The City of Spires - Watabou Cities Annual

    @seycyrus - It might be https://stormbringerrpg.com/, as that's definitely a fan site for the Stormbringer RPG.

  • Live Mapping - Sewer Encounters

    So, we're being dragged back to the sewers this week, are we? I think you've been reading too much of the usual livestream video chats 😉

    Thanks Sue!

  • Dhakos, The City of Spires - Watabou Cities Annual

    Not sure how practical this may be, as it's not a style I've played with as yet, but it might be worth adding some hedgelines to the outer edges of the fields as well. Just looks a bit odd with so many fields where the wildlife can just wander in and graze at will.

  • Where to Find Additional Assets?

    I have found the DriveThru search options to be frustrating too. It's not helped because they have several separate sites, and some publishers will only add their products to one or two (commonly DriveThru and Wargame Vault). Searching also presupposes all publishers will use the same keyword terms in their products, and not all do.

    Of course, it's possible the kinds and styles of symbols you're looking for may not exist anyway. We have kept coming back to requests for modern and cyberpunk symbols before on the Forum here, for instance.

  • Friendless necromancer tower

    Can't speak for how Ricko accomplished this, but it would certainly be very easy to do it all in the one FCW file.

  • Live Mapping: 1930s Street Maps

    I found it is worth hunting around online for old maps more generally, when I was working on my version of a Lovecraftian Providence map late last year. That one compiled information from about a dozen different maps in the end, as the most detailed ones - needed to identify specific properties - were originally published in at least one book, with each double-page map spread scanned separately online.

    It really depends how much precision and detail you need from the historical side though, as it can be a lengthy process to find what YOU want, NOT what Google wants to show you!

  • Community Atlas: Dendorlig Vale, Malajuri

    Ralf mentioned on today's livestream (April 6th) featuring this new style that it is to be extended later in the year, which is excellent news, I think! Look forward to that!

    If further suggestions might help, a couple of differently-angled bridge symbols would be nice, in addition to what I mentioned before here - and watching the stream, maybe an oasis symbol for the deserts too.

  • Community Atlas: Dendorlig Vale, Malajuri

    Thanks Sue. I found it a really pleasing style to work with; the colours just have that Dunsanian magical feeling to them - colourful, but a bit old-world/dreamlike-muted.

    Might be fun to see an expansion for some different styles of settlement in it, perhaps - Elf, Dwarf, Halfling structures, say, some ruins in all styles, and some magical site markers - although there's a lot of excellent scenery already in it, of course.
