Got to ask - what are those "floaty stones" about midway between Tresonne and Chanson by the circled star symbol? Are the ones in the woods near Veris the same?

The forests have come out nicely interesting. Were the roughly circular features in places deliberate, or something that just happened randomly? They remind me a little of the woodland spirals from Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood novels.

There are some coloured swirls in the CA3 Magic symbols. I thought there might be some among the Elemental & Magic Symbols in DD3, but I've had no luck trying to quickly track any down.

Don't know whether the newly-released "coffin box" version of Strahd adds or changes anything to this. From what previews I've seen, they've reverted to a nice foldout poster map, but the layout looked pretty similar to most previous versions overall. Couldn't see enough to check in detail, of course. For that, there's the little matter of $99.99 to pay first...

If you do go down the "shadowed line" route, you'll probably need to fiddle about with a mask for part of the pit too, to stop the shadow going into places outside it you don't want - sadly, I remembered that only about ten minutes after I came offline yesterday...

Also - just seen this now - there's a gap at the SE corner of room 16. That may have happened when you cut the wall to insert the open doorway if you started the wall at the corner of the room originally. I learnt from one of Joe Sweeney's videos early on to always start a dungeon wall along one of the straights you won't be cutting a doorway into later, to avoid exactly this kind of issue. It's also easily forgotten when you're busy drawing walls, however, as I've discovered ?.

Thanks Ralf - that all seems fine now! Odd it should just have been those two symbols out of the entire set. Teleported away perhaps ?

I keep missing days here somehow; other distractions elsewhere. So apologies if you've already covered this, and I just missed it somewhere earlier, but should there be an accessway into area 31? There seems to be a corridor linking to the level, without a doorway or secret door marker.

That's 497 maps now, according to the Downloads page in the Atlas!

I suppose I'm just more used to having worked with real scrolls down the years, than how cartographer's have opted to draw them!

Impressed that you've managed to "force" @Loopysue to reveal her hidden treasure in the City Cliffs Annual @Elfling!

I understand what you mean about how parts of the Tome and help files are sometimes written. It can be frustrating when you know what you want to do in CC3+, but can't quickly find the information on how to do it. It's often a matter of experience, trial and error (lots of the latter, in my case...), and taking time to watch through the video tutorials (the Joe Sweeney ones are what most helped me when I was trying to first get to grips with the program some years ago, though there are plenty more now by other folks too), and/or reading the written tutorials, if that's more suitable for you.

Sue's right I think in suggesting the Symbols Along command might work nicely for your palisade fencing. You may already have access to suitable symbols from what you have installed for CC3+ that will let you do this without needing to create fresh ones too.

You might want to think about the Symbols in Area command as well, which allows you to fill a polygon of whatever size and shape you wish with your selected symbols - a narrow strip polygon could work for things like hedge-lines made up of individual bush and tree symbols, for instance.

For the size of the Arena, not sure it will help necessarily, but the Greek and Roman stadion/stadium, also known in English as the stade, unit of length was around 180-185 metres in length (there were variants, and some modern estimates have varied still further from this). That might be a way to go, though it would be likely the inner circumference, not the actual length of the construction in an oval form. It really depends what goes on there as to how large it should be.

The River Docks is another in the "length of string" debates, as it depends what the river is used for and by what proportion of the populace, whether it's used for exports and imports (and what of, type and quantities), does a ferry run from here to other places (such as even across the river), etc., etc. To my eye, for a river of this size, the three docks now seem probably too few, but more information would be needed for a more definitive answer, I think.
